When People See a Situation that Cries Out for Action,
Do They Step in, Back Away or Just Walk on by?
Using hidden cameras, "Primetime: What Would You Do?" establishes everyday scenarios and then captures people's reactions. Whether people are compelled to act or mind their own business, John Qui�ones reports on their split-second and often surprising decision-making process. "Primetime: What Would You Do?" airs FRIDAY, MAY 4 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Friday, May 4 scenarios include:
Inappropriate Parent: Will anyone in a restaurant say anything when a middle-aged father starts to hit on his son's 20-something girlfriend as soon as the son leaves the table for the bathroom?

Transgender Discrimination: What would YOU do if you witnessed a customer at a diner harassing a waitress because she used to be a he?
I'm pregnant and I know it: While in line at a pharmacy, a teenage girl tells her friend that she plans to skip her birth control pills so she can become pregnant without her boyfriend knowing. Will any of the bystanders say something to the boyfriend when he arrives at the pharmacy?
