What would you do if you were home alone and a robber broke in?

I would do either one of two things.

1. I'd jump out of a window( depending on what floor I'm on ) or run outside screaming like a baby.

OR

2. I'd grab a bat and start whacking for my life. Depends on what weapons they have. If it was a gun, I'd run. If not, I'd maybe take my chances.

What am I even doing in a bank vault at this hour?

You work at the bank and heard sounds coming from inside the vault. Kind of defeats the title, but I'd like to see how people would handle a situation like that.

You know what I'd do? I would lock the vault. As simple as that. Then call the cops and when they open the vault "SURPRISE!!! 30 years in jail!". See, simple.

Minotaur, you forgot this post.

So, lets see, I've done the old person, a woman, a group of guys. So, what if the robber was a well built man and rigged with explosives. YOu find him robbing a bank and your stuck with him in the vault.

Ill revise that one: You work at the bank and heard sounds coming from inside the vault. You go to check it out and suddenly your locked in the vault. Kind of defeats the title, but I'd like to see how people would handle a situation like that.

First off...sounds were coming from inside the vault, I go inside, and get locked in but apparently see nothing in the vault. Ghost?! O.o (and not GoM, ghost like...boo ghost)

2nd...Now that I'm locked in..not much I can do but sit and cry until someone opens the door

Nah, this scenario is too unlikely... if I worked at a bank I would ALWAYS carry the vault keys with me!

How would I be stuck in there with him? This makes no sense.

Oh, Im stuck in there! I agree with Skeleton, I would always have the keys on me. Plus if I were working at a bank, near a vault, part of my job would state I keep the key on me at all times. So if this happened, I will unlock the door and get out.

Oops, quote error. Correction:

Lucky I always carry dynamite in my left back pocket. Oakland is a dangerous city after hours.

Ooops, force of habit. I'm used to capitalizing names. Thank you for correcting me pang.

Okay, maybe that situation is a little unlikely.

So lets go back to the house theme. The robber is rigged with explosives and is robbing you. The trigger is in the mans hand. All you have are your fists and a stick on the ground next to you . What do you do?

I'd go out and buy some furniture. A stick on the floor and no couch to throw is no way to live your life.

Actually, if all I have is a stick, what is there for him to take? I'd just politely ask him to leave (and hide the stick behind my back, because that's my stick and he can't have it).

I'll wait until he leaves my house, then I'd jump out from behind a bush and jab him with the stick... he wouldn't blow himself up to prevent himself from getting killed---that's incredibly counter-productive!

But just in case he is that crazy, I don't want my property blown to bits. =)

Why would any robber rig himself with explosives? What's the logic behind that?

I would probably run and grab my sister and brother (my parents could get there themselves). Then grab a phone and lock us in a room and bar it up. then I would call 911. OR the more likely thing would happen, my anxiety would kick in and I would probably run into a corner and cry like a baby and be mentally scarred for the rest of my life.
