Think about someone who you desperately would love to meet. It could be an actor or actress, athlete, singer, whatever. Chances of meeting this person are super slim. Say that person happened to be visiting a town near you and you and your closest friend (who also feels the same way about wanting to meet this person) travel there in the hopes of meeting this person.
As you stand in line in the grueling heat (or cold) for hours, you see a guy handing out passes to speak with and see this person. He gets to you and your friend and tells you that there is just one pass left and hands it to you. You both reach out for it. Now you have ONE pass and two of you.
Who would end up seeing the person you both desperately want to meet and speak with? Would you give up your chance for your friend? Or would you find a way to make your friend feel you want it/deserve it more? Chances are you will never get this opportunity again...
What would you do?

Well, there is only one fair way to do it, we flip for it and let the fates decide.
But thankfully, it's great that me and my friends have totally different tastes when it comes to celebrities, yeah, go figure.
My favorite celeb is John Cena but none of my girlfriends share that common passion. And let's just say that I'm not too crazy about their favorite celebs either.
But if it were to be the same, I don't think I'm the sort of person who would be all high and uppity and make a sacrifice like you mentioned. Let the coin decide it, I'm not too lucky with coins either, like Phoebe once said, "coins hate me!", but I guess that would be the only impartial way to decide it.

John Cena! You have amazing taste. That man has a great body, beautiful eyes, a great personality, charisma, sigh.
I don't know what your friends don't like him. Whew!
I work in wrestling so I have met and talked to him. I would give you the pass if ever we were in that situation. :)
A coin toss is a good idea. I would probably whine to the guy giving out the passes saying that we drove alllll the way there and waited allll that time and we both totally admire and respect XXXX and how can one of us possibly go in without the other and is there any possible way we could get another pass, pleaseeee? It usually works. ;)

Yeah, I guess pleading would be good, but will it work? It's always worth a shot!
Well, yeah, I guess i can't say much about my friends taste at all.
That guy is amazing, could he be more perfect?
But you know what I think? I liked his rapper image better than the whole marine thing. And personally I would have preferred seeing him in a movie like that too. Something along the lines of 8 mile. And he's so funny, that should definitely be utilized. I also watched "see no evil" and really liked it because Kane was really in his element, and from the previews of "the condemned" which I still haven't seen, it seems that stone cold was also in his element as the certified bad*ss who is probably the only baddie in WWE who everyone still loves. With the marine, yeah sure, I still watch it every other night, because I'm such a Cena fan, but I really feel he could have had a better script.
I hope you don't mind my rambling, it's just that I know you're into WWE, and I'm sure you don't like talking about "work" here too, but i guess I say it because I'm certain you will understand.
Well, I might take you up on that offer, of the passes, if I ever make it to see live wrestling, you're so lucky to have met John Cena and all the great wrestlers, that's awesome! Unfortunately I live all the way in Bahrain, but I'll definitely make it someday.

Hi patty,
First of all i would like to let you know that I have gone through your website. It is very good. I am very impressed by you writing skill.
Now come to the topic As I am not fan fonder but I do not deny that I do not wish to meet in person with the celebrity. When condition comes to one pass I will prefer to not to use the pass. Try to find out the opportunity to have a enough pass to go with my friends.

Thank you for the compliment on my writing. I love it.
I think we would just give the pass away and go. No hard feelings on either side and we can whine together. lol.

My best friend and I are both very obsessed with Angelina Jolie. So she would probably be the one we'd both want to see if we had the chance. The problem is of course that I would want to give my friend the pass, and she would want to give it to me, or at least I'd hope so. So we'd wind up in the argument of "No, you take it." lol
In the end, she would wind up taking the pass and seeing Angelina Jolie, because I'm both nicer and very stubborn. She would finally say "Okay then I will. Your loss!" =p

Well, my best friend is the type of person that would say "Here, you go and make sure you tell me all about it." But I'm the type of person that wouldn't want to do it without her. I'd look for the nearest person standing alone and give the pass to them. I don't like to do anything without my best friend. It's just not the same. (Even if it is meeting someone I really admire.) I guess I admire my best friend much more!
That was a really awesome question!!

Can't we just play that king guy and offer to cut the pass in half????? Really though, I think friendship is about love, just like any other relationship. And, love is about action. If this person is my closest friend, then I obviously love them and here is the perfect opportunity to show it. To me, this is a no-brainer. I give them the pass.
This could wind up as a fight over who gets to give the other the pass, if your friend cares about you as much as you do them. If it becomes a struggle over, "I deserve it more", then you both are on the verge of allowing selfishness ruin a friendship. Of course, selfishness is probably numero uno on the list of things that ruin relationships anyway.

It would be kinda neat to see my favorite star, but I'd pass it on to my friend. Why not? I'd see this famous person for a short time, but my best friend is for life. I'd rather see her happy than me being greedy over a ticket.

we'd surely play scissor, paper, stick and stone! or anything that would seem fair and wouldnt make us hate each other or bury regrets. ^__^;; could be toss coin or anything. we both waited there, we both stood up for so long and we've grown roots on our feet, we both sweated so much.. i dont think either of us would just easily give up the chance. and i would understand it and so will she. so we'd rather prefer to win the chance fair and square. ^__^

I am not gonna get the passes nor tell my friend to get it. It's up to her to decide. I am doing it because I just wanna be fair to her. I just can't afford to leave her outside while I am enjoying my meeting with my idol and in the same way I don't wanna be hypocrite that I am not interested about it by telling her to go for it. In my own prespective, in situation like this, you can somehow evaluate also if your friend value your feelings because if she does she will not get it and leave you hanging. I am just being honest here.*wink* *smile*
