Dilemmas with strangers: what would you do?
Strangers are a clean test. There is no history, no friendship to protect, and usually no chance you will see them again. Which makes it interesting what people actually do. A stranger is quietly crying on a bench. Someone dozes off onto your shoulder on a flight. A person steps in front of you in the queue with just one item. Do you step closer or hold your space, speak up or let it go? Pick your answer on each one and see how other people chose with strangers of their own.
