If your partner saw someone slip when trying to walk on 10" of snow in 6" stilettos, (obviously having made the immediate determination that the only thing wounded was the individual's pride!) would they:

a.) help the person up whilst trying to stifle a giggle;

b.) rush to their aid in a very serious manner not finding it even remotely funny;

c.) feel that as the person was sure to have more sensible shoes to be wearing in such weather, they really have only themselves to blame so therefore have to completely regain composure before being able to offer any kind of assistance?



Would there reaction change if it was a man in said shoes?

I love post 70!!



If your partner got hold of a juicy bit of gossip about a friend, would they a) confront them to find out the truth, b) ignore it for the gossip it is or c) top up the mobile and tell the world?
