What would you do IF you dropped your wallet (which has LOTS of money and a lot of your important cards) in the middle of a busy highway?
Not the sidewalk/pavement. Right in the middle of the highway where there are cars continuously moving at a fast speed. Would you risk your life to get your wallet back? Or would you think of other ideas? Or just simply leave it?


I know this is a pretty weird question, but please don't say "this won't happen to me anyway". It's a "IF..." question.

Yeah that's true, how would a person have dropped his or her wallet in the middle of the highway then risking his or her life to get it back; unless the person threw it or dropped it from their car.

Anyway, I'd find some construction cones and just throw them around the vicinity of my wallet. Or I could just do as iliang86 will do, just wait until night or when rush hour is over to get it.

You can always cancel credit cards if they are broken, and stuff like that. I would wait until the traffic calmed down, then go. Or, if a cop comes by, ask for assistance.

i'd wait for traffic to slow down, then go ahead, and just pick it up. like around rush hour. them cars aren't moving anywhere, so might as well.

I'd go steal some Stop Signs and a bright orange vest and stand on the side of the road and hold the stop sign out and make people stop *nod*

That most likely would not work..

But hey, It would be fun trying.

hm...an "if"...I'd probably stand there until it got really late and waited till cars wern't comming. Or wait until it was really trafficy and wouldn't move. Then I'd yell in people windows to let me get my wallet and hope they won't run me over. Then I'd throw it to the side of the rode and run back over there =]...if I made it =/

ok...wait..how would i drop it in the middle of the highway anyway? lol, unless i was dangling it outta the car window and happened to drop it. Or just for fun wanted to see how far i could throw my wallet into the street, lol. but i know, i know...we're saying IF.

I would probably just wait until the traffic cleared up and then sprinted to the middle of the street to retrieve it. I wouldn't just leave it in the middle of the street with all my money and drivers license and such in it. I would just wait til the cars cleared up ;)
