In this task you are given an anecdote, which recount a complex ethical situation. The question you are given is, has the author of the anecdote acted ethically? answer this question with "RIGHT" or "WRONG".

Whenever my friends and I are out, we convince one another to go up to attractive strangers and chat with them, complimenting them and being friendly or whatever, and then attempt to ask for their phone number. Nothing forceful or anything, just blatantly 'picking up chics'.

Call it a challenge or a game or whatever, because most if the time we never call them back or text them. It started out as challenging ourselves to gain some confidence and learning to handle rejection.

A little background: We're teenagers and we're pretty introverted and shy hence how it started out as a challenge. But the more we do it the more it seems we're having fun. 

There's a couple of things why I would think this is bad:
1) Girls we approach might feel really uncomfortable and this is kinda borderline sexual harrasment right?
2) We're basically using people as ways for us to feel better
3) Not texting them later makes it worse because that makes it even more like we're using them as 'tools'
WRONG

My husband hates his job. HATES it. There are no pros to this job. They don't pay well, the bosses are terrible managers (overbooking appointment when they only have so many workers to cover so many customers), he's on a wacky 6 day a week 12 hour night schedule so I don't see him and his friends don't see him. It has thrown him into a rut. 


I've told him to look for a new job, or just flat out quit and I will support him/keep us afloat until something else comes along. I told him to apply for things he's passionate about even if it means a page cut. Anything to get my husband back to his old self. 


He's asked me for help and says he doesn't even know where to start, doesn't have the time to do anything etc. so I've done the following (at his request for assistance):


* Updated his resume (I do this for my job so I know it's good quality)

* Drafted a cover letter

* Found a list of jobs he qualifies for and put them into an easy to read Word Doc

* Made him an Indeed account

* Started covering all the chores so that he can focus on applying for jobs when he is home (did this without him asking but made it clear "I am doing this so you can focus on applying for new jobs")


He has done nothing. He said he "tried to quit but they wouldn't let them." He hasn't turned in a single application, or even opened the document I've made with a list of jobs. And of course he isn't doing any chores at home. 


This has been going on for months. He's clearly depressed so I also suggested he talk to a therapist about all this, he says he doesn't have time because he's so burnt out. All he talks about anymore is how he hates his job, and feels like it's eating away at his social life, mental health and everything. 


At this point the CLEAR common denominator is just this job. If he quits he can see friends again and will have time to see a therapist if that is still an issue, but I highly suspect a change of scenery will greatly improve his mood. He is a good worker and I know if he turned in an application he'd get a response. But I can't force him to submit applications and he JUST WON'T DO IT.


He comes home every day and talks about how much he hates his job and wants to do something new, and I'm getting tired of it. I stay up late listening to him complain about his job, and I've done everything I can think of to help, but he won't meet me half way. 


Would I be the asshole if I flat out tell him I'm becoming unsympathetic to his complaints when he has done nothing to fix his situation? It'd be one thing if he was applying for jobs and still stuck in his current one, but he won't look, won't quit, won't go to therapy and he can't give me a reason why.
RIGHT

Does it matter if somebody asks me not to?

Does it matter if my office or house can only be accessed through the area that has been cut off? 

Otherwise, I  have two frequently occurring examples when it wasn't blocking my apartment or office:

Example 1: Most frequently this occurs when I'm heading or leaving my Best friend's house. For whatever reason fashion shows, award show red carpets and film/tv shoots keep happening in the area in front of her apartment building, and so I've accidentally cut through weird red carpets before trying to leave in a hurry (no one told me not too, and I was confused what was happening. But I didn't have time to figure out if there was a way to go around because I had somewhere to be.) ; so I charged through the chaos) and one film shoot, which the production assistant asked me to go a different way when trying to get to my friend's apartment, but there was no way around it to get in.

Example 2: I  used to go to school in NYU, and they would always have film sets all over the Washington Square area, and production assistants blocking off spaces in the park or space by the West 4th station when they weren't even filming at the moment. So if I was running late for class (which I would be very late for if I took their proposed detour), I would just walk past the PA's with my headphones even though I knew they were trying to ask me to walk around the park.

Several times, I've been yelled at by security guys. Ironically  always in situations where they are blocking the only exit or entrance, and when no one told me to go around the set or fashion show paparazzi area to begin with. But I usually respond with "sorry, I'm late," and keep walking. I feel like I might be an asshole, and I also feel like the entertainment and fashion industry are assholes for expecting people to change their lives for their commercial gain.
