Moral dilemna
Post
by Metal Vendetta » Wed Apr 06, 2005 10:55 pm
Hmmm...I've bought tickets to see a band. Thing is, they've sent extra tickets to me, along with the name and address of the girl they (presumably) should have been delivered to.
This is a real test of moral character.
I may fail.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Ooh, don'tcha just hate those?
I'd call the ticket office/send them to the girl, but I'd also walk through a shopping mall wearing a giant fuzzy purple hat quite happily. They're yours while they're in your hands.

Tempting though it was to keep them, I wrote her a note, sealed them in an envelope and put a stamp on it. I'll post it tomorrow as my first ROAK since Joining.
Dammit, still really tempted though.

I'd have to say that my desicion would have to be based on what band the tickets were for... but I'd've probably sent them to her, also. Your a good man, Emvee!

Were they sent anonymous, I'd just write it off as luck and grab a couple of friends. Or do a bit of touting. As is, I'd probably ring up the ticket office, abuse them a bit and mail back to that. Unless really close to date, in which case chancing them to the post and the address given would be worth a shot.

Too late, I posted them on the way to work this morning, lest my dark side get the better of me.
And the band is the Prodigy, BTW.

Waitaminute...you mean I'm not a Joinee yet?
So I could have kept those tickets and not worried about besmirching my Good Fridays Agreement?
Gaaaaaaaah!

Bah, I probably would have sent her MY tickets too. Prodigy is nothing more than nostalgic crap IMO.
But the video for Smack My Bitch Up is priceless!

Chalk me down as nostalgic, then... nothing like a spot of "Breathe" when you're whacking people with Laserquest guns...

I would have found out if she was hot or not. If she was, I would have delivered them personally and probably asked her out. If she wasn't I would have just mailed them.

I think his current girlfriend would have brutalised him for that. Possibly using a table with knobs on.
