Your pet and a stranger are drowning in your shower. Who do you save?

[Lil_Rimmy]

Ok, so time for a bit of a discussion I was having with a friend to be brought to the internet.

See, we were discussing how important our pets were compared to strangers, and so this question came up. I won't talk about us anymore, but I'll just ask all of you this:

You walk into your bathroom and look at your shower. It looks normal enough, with water either running the whole time or half of the time. As you look down, you notice either the usual yellow/brown marks, if you are that way inclined. They, suddenly, you notice a nefarious villain has glued shut your shower. To make matters worse, your pet and a stranger are in there, and the shower is filled with water!

Luckily, you installed a grabber arm above your shower, for whatever reason <.<... and thankfully you will be able to save one of them. But you can't lift both out in time, what ever will you do?

So, make the choice Escapist. Do you save your life-long pet or the random stranger from the nefarious shower villain?

As a note, if you pet is equal or greater size than a horse or elephant, depending on your shower, the nefarious show villain is not held guilty for any shower related incidents.

God my Dog is fucking annoying, I love her but she's annoying.

Probably the stranger. If it was my previous Dog I would choose it. My current dog probably wouldn't be smart enough to know it was in trouble.

 

[Keoul]

I don't have a pet, guess that is one lucky stranger!
Even if I had a pet though, I'd save the stranger. Lifelong pal is nice and all but another human life seems more important to me. If I lose my pet only I'd be sad, if a human dies then there could be a whole family of sad people, sad friends, etc, etc.

Also, this doesn't seem like a very difficult choice if one had a fish for a pet.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

I'd pick my dog.

I kind of have trouble imagining anyone being able to drown in my show since it isn't particularly difficult to climb over the top of it, even with the show somehow glued shut. Hell, I wouldn't even need my grabber arm, I could just reach inside if I stand on the toilet.

Also, fuck that stranger, he's in my home uninvited, he can drown for all I care.

 

[Elfgore]

Who in the hell would have a pet bigger than a horse or elephant? Cause you know, blue whales are pretty popular as pets.

Anyway, it would be a tough choice for me. I love my cat, he's my buddy. But, people have families and friends who might miss them if they die. My Mom and I are the only people who would miss my cat. I may choose the stranger in the end. Human life is more important.

Obviously my pet, I know my animals aren't assholes, with a stranger that's taking a risk. People on average suck, animals on average are nice so even if was a random animal and a random person the choice is clear the animal will be saved.

I'd be pretty pissed, I am already late and now I will have to use my daughters bathroom/shower, stumbling over tub toys and using berry scented princess body wash. If any of my employees sniff me I am going to catch so much flak.

Also I save the person because I'm not an emotionally scarred, miserable, dried up shell of a person. I will be having another's grabbing arm installed above my shower though, I finally proved to my wife it was a wise investment after all. She said I was crazy, clearly I wasn't crazy enough!

 

[Lil_Rimmy]

She said I was crazy, clearly I wasn't crazy enough!

They always say that. They always repeat it. "Rimmy, no crazy villain is going to force you to have a shitty commute to work because you smell of berries and just had to sacrifice a stranger! That'll never happen!"

How wrong they were when he came in and struck at night, when the house slept. Whilst that stranger stomped the floor of my shower in some sort of waffle-y way, my pet tried to stop him and was caught by the evil shower villain.

If only we had more time. And also grabber claws. Can never have enough. Always need more. Always. More. Precious...

Oh god not more drowning threads...

I save myself... the trouble of answering properly, because I know that if this is encouraged we're going to get spammed with a million more drowning jokes like last time.

 

[skywolfblue]

Well, I don't have a pet.

But given that my grabber-arm-skill is terrible, just terrible, I'd spend 30 minutes grabbing with the claw and missing each time, and then the claw would break down for some reason.

Anyway, the poor stranger would be dead by then.

I thought about trying to go for an Axe, but if this mysterious mater-villain managed to glue the shower door shut and stop up the drain, he's probably also thought to reinforce the door with thick plexiglass.

Now if the villain really wanted to be Evil, he'd fill the shower with sharks. So that every time I missed the stranger with the claw I'd grab a shark instead. Live sharks in my bathroom, do not want!

 

[Kyrdra]

I take my hammer and beat the shower in.
Problem solved

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I ask the stranger what the fuck he's doing in my shower and take it from there.

Gasp!

How dare you accuse me of drowning threads?! That's just rude and demeaning! This was a genuine thread to totally try and sort out a real life moral issue. I mean, sure, there were a lot of drowning threads, and sure, there were a lot of shower threads, but I assure you this thread is here to discuss the deeper morals of pet-stranger drowning showers!

Shame upon ye!

 

[Auron225]

I watch my pet shark eat the stranger and laugh manically since *gasp* I have been the villain all along!!

[Catfood220]

I'd ask the stranger to kindly pass my pet over the top of the shower and then use the grabbing arm to get him out. Though I would have to wonder what all the fuss was about because once the water gets high enough, they could both just climb out and save themselves.

Actually I have an even better cop out answer. I would simply find the water shut off valve and turn of the water. Then all I have to deal with is there is a stranger and my pet in a shower together.

 

[Dandark]

I would save my dog because a person should be able to escape the shower themselves. I mean come on just break down the doors or something.

 

[JoJo]

I don't have a pet, so yeah easy choice, but even if I had a pet, it would be stranger all the way. Animals are fun but they aren't people, chances are the stranger has friends and family who would be far more devastated at losing them than I would a pet. I would like to know what the stranger was doing in my house and shower though.... >.>

 

[Caiphus]

I'd pee on them both, then turn off the shower.

If they're going to drown, they could at least stop wasting my water.

 

[Liquidprid3]

This premise is really dumb, so I'm going to change it up. There's a lake in my backward and my pet and a stranger are both drowning, and I only have time to save one of them. If I had a choice, I would choose the stranger. That person could be a father, mother, brother, sister, daughter, nephew, etc. to a bunch of people, while one of my cats is only a cat, and doesn't play a big role in anyone's like besides my family. Plus, we've lost pets before. That person is much more important than any pet, any day.
