You and your significant other give a ride home to his/her friend. Later you discover the friend forgot his/her wallet in the back seat



of your car. Both you and your significant other find it and notify the friend, who says that tomorrow will be just fine to return it. 

In the ensuing hours, do you

1.  Look through the wallet by yourself just to see what's in it?

2. Look through the wallet along with your significant other just to see what's in it?

3.  Tell your significant other not to look through the wallet because you know he/she is tempted?

4.  Tell your significant other that you want to look through the wallet even if he/she doesn't?

5.  Tell your significant other that he/she can look but that you're not interested?

6.  Tell your significant other that you won't look through it but do do when the coast is clear?

7. Convince your significant other to look through it because you want to look through it too?

8. Mind your own business?

9. Other answer.

    You're awfully focused on looking through your friend's wallet.

    Attention to detail, mon amie: it's my significant other's friend.

    Leave it on the backseat where it was.

    9.  I would not think of going through it or having to give my husband instructions not to do so.   Also, my friend can drive over here and get her wallet on her own.  We're not running a taxi service.

    I agree with Thrifty. I'm not likely to touch the wallet, aside from putting it somewhere safe, and if the friend has transportation, I'd expect the friend to pick it up later.

    Now, if my SO left his wallet somewhere... eh... that one is tough to say. If he had been behaving oddly, I'd be facing an internal battle on whether to look or not.

  • 8.  Mind my own business (the wallet's contents hold no interest for me).

    Open the wallet and remove just enough cash (if anyone still carries cash), to pay for the friends share of gas for the ride home. If I unavoidably happen to see anything in the wallet that I can use for blackmail, that's a bonus.

    I would call the friend and tell him/her I will not return it. He/she can come get it.
