Scenario 2: Dishes


Introduction : Deliver an ultimatum : Follow through on threat

You chose: Follow through on your threat the next day and throw away all food that belongs to Messie.

At lunchtime, Messie comes screaming out of the kitchen demanding to know who took her food! No one says anything. Messie goes back to the kitchen, and you hear a loud crash. You find the microwave in pieces on the floor. Messie screams, “If I can’t have my food, then no one will!”

You can...

Let P handle it.

Call the Campus Police and report Messie’s destruction of the microwave.

Go With P
Tell Messie, “I’m sorry I won’t throw out your food again. I’ll pay for the food I threw away today if you’ll get us a new microwave.
Throw Out Food
Yell at Messie, "You are such a baby! You're hopeless."
