Would you fess up if you broke or damaged something - and no one was looking?
On her way to the studio recently, Dana stopped at a gas station and saw a moment with a kid that made her ask: Do you tattle on yourself when you "break the rules"?
The little boy at the gas station tattled on his mom, telling the clerk she "bwoke" the drink machine.
Dana: "He points over to his mother, where I'm standing, and he goes 'Mom bwoke it.' Mom is stopped in her tracks going 'Please don't, no we didn't.' She's just trying to get a slushie."
How many people are that honest? Kids will certainly say things out loud. What about you?
What if you hit a parked car with a shopping cart, or the wind blows your door open and dings another car - do you say anything? Is it really your fault if the wind blows the door?
Some people might leave a note if there's damage. But Scott thinks most people would just drive off, find another parking spot and pretend like nothing happened.
"It's not that you're dishonest, you're a little bit mortified. And quite frankly, you just don't want to deal with it," he said.
