If your house were on fire

Would you:

A) Call the fire department
B) Grab your valuables and run
C) Call a friend and ask to spend the night elsewhere, grab no valuables, and call no one.

If you answered C, you make decisions just like the stupidest couple I know! Last night they thought they smelled something burning in their apartment, so they called up some mutual friends and asked if they could spend the night elsewhere. On their arrival, they were asked if they had brought any of their valuable possessions. Their response? "No, I don't think anyone is going to steal anything."

So you are so afraid your house is on fire that you ask to be a guest at someone else's house, but you don't think about the fact that your items might burn? Granted, this is the same couple that hates each other openly, yet are staying together for the sake of...their lease. So this fire incident shows that they are not merely blinded by say, the sex or relationship issues. They just happen to share a mutual inability to deal with the world. Some other problems I see arising:

1) Car won't start and the gas tank is on empty. The couple decides what is needed are two new bikes.

2) "I sure hope we are able to cook in our new apartment. I hope it has a laundry room!"

3) An army of ants infests because of uncleaned bowls of ice cream left on a counter. The couple decides to eat out from now on instead of cleaning the dishes.

Here's hoping we can all be a little less like them.
