In this task you are given an anecdote. You must find out whether the anecdote is something the author has done or is considering doing. Label the instances as "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and label them as "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future.
Example: So I have a good friend that I enjoy hanging out with, but they aren’t good at turning people down so whenever I invited her somewhere and she doesn’t want to go she says yes and then either constantly reschedules, claims she will get back to me with a time that works for her, or cancels at the last minute with some lame excuse. So would I be an asshole if I confronted her and told her to cut the crap and just be straight with me so that I don’t waste the time and energy trying to make things work if she doesn’t want to go? Also do I have any right to be upset since even though my gut tells me she is just being flaky, she is also a very busy person so there is a chance that I’m just overly sensitive.
Example solution: HYPOTHETICAL
Example explanation: the author is talking about something he wants to do.

Problem: Due to being an irresponsible adult who doesn’t understand the concept of saving money, my brother doesn’t have a car at the moment. He’s currently struggling getting to and from work, because his job (which is near where I live) is a 20 minute drive from his home. On public transportation, that’s about an hour and a half commute. 

At first I didn’t mind helping him out, because despite his flaws that have led him to this situation, he’s my brother and I want to be there for him. But it’s turned into a weekly thing, where at least twice a week he’s either asking me for rides, asking to borrow my car for days, or asking if I can lend him money. Sometimes I’m busy, and sometimes I just really don’t feel like it. I’m currently on break from school, so it’s not like I have an excuse to not want to let him borrow my car, I just don’t want to. I want to be able to know that it’s in my possession ready for me to use if I need it for whatever reason, even if it’s just to go to a friends house. 

The thing is, aside from this issue, my brother and I get along well. I don’t want to hurt his feelings and have it hurt our relationship. 

Am I really the asshole for wanting to put myself first when my brother is struggling? Because I sure feel like an asshole for it, and that’s why it’s so hard for me to say no sometimes. 

Solution: HYPOTHETICAL
