At a small local grocery, you see an elderly homeless woman shoplift a pack of luncheon meat. Do you turn her in?

Have any of you ever played the board game "Scruples" where players sweat as they ask each other what they would do in a moral predicament? There is no right or wrong answer but you MUST answer honestly! It's fun! 

I'll start the game by Posing the first moral dilemma and then everyone who wishes may answer it and someone else can ask another question.

Question:

"You've sold your house. Before you move out, the roof starts to leak. Do you have it fixed?"

 Most definanetely fix it, that happened to us, only it was bad flooring and we replaced it all .., in fact I think you have to disclose now any imperfections upon selling an house as the new owners can come back on you otherwise, unless the house is sold "as is".

 I guess I'm  getting caughtup in this game some 30 pages later...as to this, yes, I agree with Peter, and ofer to pay for it. We use to have an old lady in our area to Mt. Hood living on the streets by her own choice and many of us would help her, even the store I work at would help her, we would let her have the sunday newspaper every week for free, one year an small christmas tree, sometimespeople up near Mt. Hood would let her stay in thier vacation homes if the weather was bad. Local newspaper did an article on her one time, she couldn't work and she refused to be an "ward of the state" because she felt she'd lose her freedom of choice in her life.  She had lost her husband and hano kids apparently that could or would help her.

You are out to dinner when you see a good friend with someone who is not her husband (also a good friend) and they are clearly more than "just friends". Later you confront her and she tells you it's none of your business. Do you tell her husband who is also a dear friend to you?

I've been in this situation too Diana. It's a no win situation so I wouldn't say anything to him, just say to her that she should come clean or break off the affair.

No, I wouldn't confront the husband as I would have waved heartily at him in the restaurant, so he would already know I was aware of his dalliance.
