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. |

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.

um...
if there were a lot of money in it, then i'd pull in the side... wait for the traffic to slow down, and grab it. i think mostly everyone would do that...

i dont usually like to cross busy freeways, but if i randomly did and dropped my wallet i'd just stand there and wait for the traffic to slow down ~_~ id probably be there all night, im really a wuss about crossing streets because i almost got hit by a car in middleschool when i walked home when the crossguard wasnt there !_!

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 =/
