The Train Ticket
You board a busy train and realise you forgot to buy a ticket. The conductor is making his way down the aisle checking phones. The person next to you gets off at the next stop and leaves a valid, unpunched paper ticket on the table.
Do you pick it up and present it as your own?
Then ask
- Is it stealing if the railway already got paid for the ticket?
- Would you feel worse lying to the conductor or dodging the fare?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
