1. You’re feeling “under the weather.” If you phone in sick, a colleague will have to do twice the work. Do you go to work? Usually when you call in sick someone has to do more work. Duh. Of course if I was sick, I would call in. Simple.
2. At a bookstore cafe, you’re reading a new hardcover book with no intention of buying it. You accidentally spill coffee on it. Do you buy the book? Yes, if I spilt something on a book, I’d buy it.
3. At a poker game, a drunken player is losing heavily to you. Do you try to get him to quit? Well, I think if he keeps losing to me, he’ll eventually quit on his own.
