Opinion - Randy Cohen

I have a very attractive wife. When she is out with our two cute baby girls, she often receives free groceries, free fast food -- the guy at Dunkin' Donuts loves her -- and free clothes. Frequently she does not realize she has the gifts (or stolen goods) until she is in the car, driving away. Is it ethical for her to keep these gifts, or must she return them (which may get the giver fired)? -- Chris Altman, Atlanta

The shop that services my lawn tractor told me to expect its return in a week. I want it back sooner and am considering giving the workers an up-front cash bonus to put my tractor at the head of the line. But this feels worryingly like covert bribery. Other customers wouldn't know about it nor could they bid against me with higher bonuses. Is such a payment ethical? -- Donald Dal Maso, Bangor, Pa.

The night three other girls and I moved into a house in East London, we got the first of many male callers, sometimes drunk, sometimes in groups, knocking on our door in search of sex.
