Life changing decisions

Now, I have to admit, I’ve done some stupid things in my life, but nothing like this. This guy has got some big balls or he is a complete idiot.

Here’s the story....

D and I are waiting outside the mall entrance this afternoon to meet up with T and G for lunch at the food court. There are 2 sets of double doors at the entrance to this mall. 4 doors all together.

A beautiful woman walks up to the entrance with her husband pushing their kid in a stroller right behind her. At the same time a very good looking blonde lady walks up to the same entrance from a different direction but approaches the other set of double doors.

The wife opens what would be door #1 on the far left for her husband to push the stroller through. At the same time, the good looking blonde opens what would be door #3 on the other set of doors to the right and looks over at him.

This man is directly lined up with door #1 and is just feet away from being inside when he sees that the other woman was holding the door open and waiting for him to push the stroller in her door.

I understand that in most cases, important, life changing decisions have to be made in the blink of an eye. Some of these decisions can be very difficult to make and some come with experience and are very easy to make. This, my friends, was a very easy one to make and could have life altering effects on this man.

This man stops the stroller just feet away from the threshold of his wife’s door, shuffles his feet backwards, turned the stroller in the direction of the other woman and pushes his stroller out and around and into the door the other woman is holding open for him. All while his wife, still holding the first door open, watches him. As this man enters the door, he makes eye contact with this woman, smiles, and thanks her for holding the door!

This man actually STOPPED just FEET away from being intelligent. He’s a dead man walking. This man is so dead. How stupid can one be? His wife was standing there with the door WIDE open and he was right in front of it. He could have let go of the stroller and it would have rolled right in. But no! There stand a good looking blonde holding another door open and he took it. Actually had to back up! WITH HIS KID IN THE STROLLER! What an idiot.

Foolish, foolish man. Door number 1 was the only real option. "Let's Make a Deal" used the same trick all the time, the best deal would be behind the door that the contestant had already decided upon. Then Monte Hall would chime in and try to sway them to a different door. If the contestant was a man, undoubtedly the attractive model in front of the other door would play into his decision making process. In any case, the "other door" is ALWAYS the sucker's bet. T
