So you're walking along minding your own business, you reach a busy crossroads and are about to push the "Stop!" button to allow safe crossing.  When out of NOWHERE a small silver car drives through a puddle and drenches only your left leg (bizarrely) just below your crotch.  Dilemma!?

Do you:

1. Sit down and weep at the ruining of your favourites jeans.
2. Fly into a rage, while reaching into your pocket for any loose change (shrapnel) that you can launch maximum velocity at the offending vehicle.
3. Quietly turn around and head back the way you came, realising that anyone you pass may assume (with disgust) you've had a "raincheck" in your pants.
4. Decide, "what the hell" and continue walking while appearing fully confident with your incontinence issue, meeting the eye of anyone who frowns at you with a defiant stare?

I chose number 4 and was pleasantly surprised at how liberating it felt.
