Call in the repairman.

Eventually life gets to the point where all you can do is wait and see. Unfortunately it happens too quickly sometimes for you to be able to catch your breath.  Stranded, you try to figure out what the hell you did to wind up with "The Wait and See Tactic" as your immediate last resort.

"The Wait and See Tactic" is exactly as it is worded.  You get to a point where there are no other options and you just sit back and wait and watch.  After everything is said and done, you see what happens next.

This is often used in movies, like zombie or war movies.  Needless to say, the tactic doesn't always work.  There's always that one zombie that crawls just out of eyesight and throws himself at you at the last minute, making you one of them.  In war movies, its about the same, but there's a grenade or a gun turret and BAM! you're one dead crispy bastard laying on the battlefield.

Anyways, avoid it at all costs and watch your footing carefully.  Any one of us can easily find ourselves in a situation like this.

Good luck.
