    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Would you get in the car?

How is entering a fight the same as entering a car of whose occupant you have no idea of? o_o Or the occupant's purpose?
 
I would, of course.

I'm not really a risk taker, but if something happened that didn't fit in with my understanding of the world, I would embrace it. Honestly. Just to escape the future.

But yeah, I would, ahem, *get in the car*, just because it would, um, make me worthwhile.
 
I would be reckless and get in. I want my life to be different, to be special and meaningful and abnormal. If this situation came around, be it the car or the pill or... um, stepping through the wardrobe? *shot* Anyway, I would take the chance.
 
If you were in a movie situation where you had to get in the car or take either the red pill or the blue pill or etc., you would obviously know it was a big moment - mostly because of the giant robots chasing you or the Morpheus telling you 'this is it'. So I'd say that yes, I would get in the metaphorical car - specifically because I knew that if I didn't, I'd wonder for the rest of my life what would have happened if I did.

'Cause totally making that clear from the beginning would have killed you. I've never heard the term 'get in the car' used in that way before~
 
Considering if it was like a movie situation, being one of the characters I would not be aware of it being like a movie situation therefore I would act completely as normal and say 'no', as if I would in real life.

Yes I have read through every post on this thread (some twice particularly by the topic starter) and I still don't really get what you're talking about. So the answer above was the best I could come up with.

I don't mean "if a car was suddenly next to you would you get in," I mean "if an event (such as Bumblebee fighting that Decepticon) happened and you witnessed it, would you get in the car afterward?"

You can take this to mean anything, really. Like would you take the pill to leave the Matrix or whatever. ALL SORTS OF THINGS LIKE THIS.

If an event happened and you witnessed it would you get in the car afterward. Right. How does that make it clearer?

I had no idea who Bumblebee or Decepticon were, nor have I seen the Matrix, so yeah, it's not my fault I had no idea what you were talking about and took it the literal way. Just thought you should have explained it for ignorant people like me in the first post.
 
I... I figured that people would get that I mean in a movie kind of sense rather than "if a sketchy man in a car offered you a ride would you do it?" I mean ... god.

Clearly Bumblebee and the Deceptions are from a film (and what the fuck, how can you not know what the Matrix is about. that's pretty appalling) so, uh.

(also sorry for assuming people read whole threads. guess in the future I won't.)
 
Depends on whether I feel like it or not. I probably will though, but I'll regret it later (as in the giant robots/monsters/whatever are out to kill me why did I get in the stupid car/take the pill/whatever gah).
