Scenario:

Vote in the poll once you get to the point where you say "absolutely not" or if you stick through the whole thing.:

You are on the way to your Honeymoon in another country. You're about to get on a flight. It's already been delayed two hours, but you're finally able to get on. The plane trip is far enough that you can not take an uber. Your partner is cranky and borderlining on a tantrum from waiting so long.

However, you see the pilot begin to make their way through the gate, dressed in a full Grinch costume. The gate agent looks uncomfortable and you overhear them saying "Michael, Please, you can't see properly in that thing". The pilot then coldly tells the agent, in a normal voice and not a Grinch voice, to mind her own business, then gets on.

insight: Michael seems normal but is insisting on wearing the Grinch costume and is confident he can pull it off. The other people are just like please don't do this.

All of the flight attendants and staff seem nervous but are otherwise performing their jobs. If you ask one of them about it, they say some version of "We'll get through this, God willing". They all seem very nervous and you catch one of them praying privately.

There is another flight in five hours; do you get off the plane? Your partner does not want to get off but will follow whatever you say in this situation.

In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise.
