The Queen's Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #45, also known as the What Would You Do Meme.
1. You start out on your road trip. You are 90 miles down the road with not a care in the world until you remember you forgot the most important ingredient needed for your vacation. What was it and would you turn around and go back to get it?
I'm going to presume you meant a material object and not Pam, who is the most important part of any vacation I might take. I can live without most things on a vacation. You can always buy what you left behind...unless it's event tickets or perhaps a phone. I would go back for those things.
2. You are standing in the checkout line at the grocery store. A homeless man walks by and asks for food from your grocery cart. What would you do?
I wouldn't give up anything in my basket. I think the best thing I could do is try to point a nearby food bank or shelter.
I don't care to be approached in this way. I contribute to charities and to food banks. I participate in canned food drives. When I can find a store that does it, I purchase a holiday meal for a shelter. I do my best to share with those who have less than I in any of these ways.
There are opportunities for homeless individuals without resorting to panhandling.
3. The mailman delivers the wrong mail. It is your neighbor's. You can't stand your neighbor. You realize that inside the small brown package there must be something very secretive, very intriguing, and possibly incriminating. What do you do?
What is my evidence for "possibly incriminating"? Whenever I get a neighbor's mail, I put it under their doormat. So that is what I would do. If the package/letter were leaking something ominous, or perhaps ticking, or even emitting some odor, I might call the police.
4. Photography Class 101. First exam. The slide show you are presenting is the wrong one. You accidentally left last weekend's party pics in the camera instead. The whole class is watching....
First exam, I think I can get away with it since last week's party pics were at my niece's birthday party. The bouncy house and happy 5 year olds go over great!
5. You find your boss' wife on Facebook. She is obviously carrying on with another man in blatant fashion and behind his back. What is the first thing that pops into your head when you see your boss the next day at work?
Say nothing!
6. Your plane lands in the wrong vacation spot but you like this one better.
Get me the first plane to the vacation spot where I already spent the money on my reservations and events! And then grab brochures from this place so I can come back some other time.
7. You walk out of the doctor's office. The news after your yearly checkup is very very good but the news for the person you'd been sitting beside and chatting with in the waiting room is very very bad. You see them in the elevator on the way out and they are in tears. You...
Mind my own business.

You sound like a very practical person and think things through very carefully, especially the answer about the vacation spot. I would probably do the same thing with wanting to go to the original vacation spot, because chances are I have the entire vacation schedule written down on paper!
Have a pleasant Tuesday.
