Would you rather

Would you rather be alone for the rest of your life or always be surrounded by annoying people?

My family play this game on car journeys, such as would you rather have noses in place of your ears or tongues instead of your toes?

Does anyone else play this game? What’s the weirdest you’ve suggested?

Can I have pets? If yes then I'd choose being alone. Let me garden and bake in peace!

Would you rather have no arms or no legs?

If choose no legs as I’m lazy and could still feed myself

Would you rather have a unicorn type horn on your head, or have tucks?

Oh now, I was going to go for tucks!
Unicorn horn for me.
Would you rather have eyes in the back of your head or ears in your armpits?

Would you rather your nose was two feet long or your legs were like oars?

Oh my gosh. Love this game!

Would you rather have feet for hands, or hands for feet? I absolutely crack up at that one, every single time without fail.

Placemarking for inspiration to share with DH Grin

HappyGoLuckyGo · 15/02/2019 02:22

P.s. obviously legs like oars!

God I hate the hands/feet ones as I hate feet!

Would you rather have a beak or a tail?

OP posts:

A beak.
And I'd definitely prefer being alone for the rest of my life than + to be surrounded by people for the rest of it.
Would you rather not be able to have candy for the rest of your life, or not have dairy for the rest of it?

BrizzleMint · 15/02/2019 04:30

Not have sweets
Would you prefer to give up books or the internet?

Notasyoungasiwas · 15/02/2019 04:39

We love playing this!! I think I'd rather give up books (I can hear people tutting Smile) Would you rather only hear the truth or only speak the truth?

Sydneysider2019 · 15/02/2019 08:14

Would you rather be really rich but only have 10 years left to live or be poor but know that you will live another 50 years?

Threewheeler1 · 15/02/2019 08:20

Yes! We've played it from when we were kids. Still do it now.
The aim was to out-grim each other e.g. would you rather eat old toenails or dog poo with chopsticks etc. It got worse.
Didn't realise other people did this Grin
Think I'd rather have a tail than a beak and be with the people, even though they're annoying.

Threewheeler1 · 15/02/2019 08:22

Rather give up sweets than dairy, books than the internet (could read books online) and be poor and live 50 years.

aurynne · 15/02/2019 09:12

Always alone if the alternative are annoying people. In fact, everyone becomes annoying if they stay around for too long, including DH.

You're part of a tightly-packed multitude. You need to fart and it's going to be a big one. Would you rather it was very loud or very smelly?

lljkk · 15/02/2019 10:25

Oh dear, maybe I am an extrovert after all. I'd go for annoying people rather than be alone (too much in my own head is not healthy). I would find a way to laugh at their annoyingness.

Lots of no leg people do very well, many great Youtube videos.

Living another 50 yrs would probably suck as I'm 51 so that's at least 20 yrs of iffy health most likely.

Cannot live without cheese!!

Being alone with books actually sounds quite nice for the next 50 years!!! Plus I’d rather have sweets as lactose intolerant 😂

Would you rather have a neck like a giraffe or ears like an elephant?

Would you rather go to prison for 5 years for something you didn't do,or get away with an awful crime and be in constant fear of being caught?

ALongHardWinter · 16/02/2019 17:36

Grin at 'Would you rather have ears like an elephant or a neck like a giraffe?' .

BrizzleMint · 16/02/2019 17:37

Get away with the awful crime, I have anxiety anyway so I'm used to it.
Would you rather only eat watercress or only eat cheese for the rest of your life?

ALongHardWinter · 16/02/2019 17:38

Oh,cheese definitely!

ALongHardWinter · 16/02/2019 17:40

Would you rather spend the rest of your life sneezing every 5 minutes,or yawning every 5 minutes (only while you are awake though,for both)?
