Sticky Situation

I see this happen all the time at Glenridge:

Joey and his friends are eating lunch in the cafeteria.  When the bell rings, all of Joey's friends get up and leave their trash on the table.  Joey sees there is only one woman working in the cafeteria.  He wants to tell his friends to clean up their mess, but he doesn't want them to make fun of him.  What should Joey do?

I honestly think Joey should leave the lunchroom with them and take them to their class and when they get there Joey goes back to the lunchroom and helps out.

He should help the lady that works at the cafeteria clean up.

Joey should tell his friends to help anyways because they need to clean up there own mess to plus it doesn't matter if they make fun of him it's just helping someone.

I think Joey should help because its THEIR garbage. Joey and his friends should be responsible and be helpful. Its not very nice to leave garbage and not clean it up.

I think Joey should help the woman and when he is done he might get an award and his friends might be jealous and then when the next day comes they will clean up their mess and might get an award

I think that Joey should try to tell his friends to pick up their garabage. If they don't answer him or make fun of him maybe Joey could just wait until all his friends are gone and then help the lunch lady that's cleaning up everybody's mess.

REALLY good question he should tell his friends that he should pay them if they clean up. Or he could do it him self. So it's like it can go any way.

I think Joey should just try to ask his friends to help him clean up the mess and see what happens from there. If his friends refuse to do clean up their own mess, I think Joey should just clean up the mess this time, if his friends start making fun of him for doing a good deed/helping someone , then what kind of friends are they?

Joey should just ask his friends politely to pick up their trash.If Joeys friends make fun of Joey should just clean up their trash and just be a respectful student.

If Joey doesn't want to tell his friends to clean up their mess maybe Joey can clean it up for them so his friends are happy and the woman working in the cafeteria will have less stuff to do and she might appreciate it.

I think joey should tell the women working there right away so they don't leave and when the women tells them to clean it up she shouldn't say that joey told me that you left your garbage on the table because then they will make fun of him

I think Joey should just tell them to clean up the trash because it is not nice to leave it for a old woman to clean it up.If they make fun of you just tell or just not be friends with them.Joey could also just help the old woman clean up.

I think Joey should tell them and if they make fun of him their not a true friend

Chloe said...

I tkink Joey should help the old lady clean up when this friends leave and then tomarow he can tell his friends to help him and if they say NO, then they really aren't friends are they?

Angelina said...

Well, that happens all the time to me MOST of time I just clean it up but, sopmetimes if there's a lot i say [and a bunch of you hear me say this.] I say," Yo, come back over here and clean up your mess." Anyways, I think Joey should just tell his friends to clean up their own messes.

He should just walk away that day and the next day he should say hey guys lrts go throw our stuff away.

I think Joey should tell his friends, If they make fun of him, they are not really his friends. and If they don't clean up there own messes, he should at least help the woman who is working clean. It's not that hard to pick up your own trash. But either way, I would help.
