After she hung up, she started crying. Then she told me that her Mother had converted her bedroom to a sewing room and she was living in a home for women that are pregnant. If she were pregnant, I didn't notice when I picked her up.

She also said she couldn't make it to an interview on Monday because her credit card was maxed out.

I ended the ride at that point because I didn't want to charge her credit card anymore. (A)

I was stunned that her Mother would put her out of the house when she was pregnant.

This trip was over three hours long and I was relieved when it was over. 

It was so bad, that I thought she might jump out of the car at some point.

Did I drop her off at the home? No, she wanted to go to her boy friend's apartment. (D)

The question I have for my fellow drivers is:

What would you have done at (A)?

What would you have done at (B)?

What would you have done at (C)?

What would you have done at (D)?
