Was it your money that you gave away? Did you have a good reason to give it to that stranger? Did you owe it to him? Did you owe it to the doctor? Did the man collect money for a charity? Was it a fine you had to pay? or a fee for something? Were you robbed? Does your doctor know the man whom you gave the money? Was the doctor not pleased because you owed him money? and he assumed you would not be able to pay? | ||

Did you try to move them yourself before paying the stranger? Did you ask him to help you, or did he offer without being asked? Yope to 'outdoor furniture': was it furniture that is generally used both indoors and outdoors? (like wicker or rattan?) Was it furniture that is normally used indoors, but can be used outdoors? (like folding metal chairs and tables?) was it furniture that is normally used indoors, and rarely taken outdoors? (like wooden chairs with upholstered seats?) No-ish to 'moved from indoors to a tent or pavilion': is the -ish because it was moved from a truck rather than indoors? or because it was moved to something other than a tent or pavillion? Were you moving it into the garage? Was the event a garage sale? | ||

is that yope because there was only one person helping you move, and he wasn't the person from the truck? yesish, but also kind of an FA... is all we need now to know what all the stuff was for? yope was there a garden party? birthday? barbecue? graduation party? anniversary? none of these OK, I'm going to give a recap here, because certain things that have been determined seem to have been forgotten... RECAP: I paid a stranger to perform a service for me. That service was to move a set of objects from a truck to an outdoor event involving a tent or pavillion. This stranger was not a professional mover, but was instead a person "off the street" who offered this service without being asked. The objects included, among other things, tables and chairs which would normally be used for both indoor and outdoor purposes. My chiropractor was displeased with me due to his belief that I moved, or had intended to move, these objects myself, but upon learning that I had paid this stranger to do it, was pleased. The exact event for which these objects were moved is not important, but the type of event is important. You still need to find out how my doctor would even know about this at all, and, for that matter, why a stranger off the street would be offering his service in the first place. | ||

How your doctor knew about it: had you mentioned that you were planning this event, and indicated that you intended to set it up yourself? Was your doctor also involved in planning or organizing the event, and thus knew that you were involved? Was the event a very large one, and publicized in advance, with your name publicly connected to it as one of the organizers? The FA: that there was only one person helping you move the items?

Were you performing? displaying art? selling art? Besides the table and chairs, were the rest of the items things you hoped to sell? If so, is it relevant what type of art you do? If yes, did your chiropractor know that you are an artist? I assume that he knew about the festival; did he assume that you were going to be involved in it? had you told him directly? had someone else told him directly? had he learned it through promotional materials for the festival? Was the stranger you paid someone who was wandering around the area looking for people who might be willing to pay him to help them unload? was he associated officially with the festival? was there anything visible about you that made him think that you might be willing to pay him to help you? a back brace? lumbar belt? were you moving with difficulty? moving carefully? (I know that when my back is acting up, it shows in the way I move overall, although there isn't any one thing that I can identify. Anything like that?) | ||

Aha!!! Did the doctor express his unhappiness in his office? or did he see you at the festival, and indicate that he wasn't terribly happy to see you there with a table, chairs, and other things that you had clearly brought along? Had you made an agreement with the stranger that he would come back at the end of the festival and help you reload the items? As to why he'd do it, I've found that the folks who are around arts and music festivals tend to be very helpful in general, so I'm not surprised that someone would see you moving badly and offer to help. Did you offer to pay him or did he ask to be paid? | ||

Did the doctor express his unhappiness in his office?no or did he see you at the festival, and indicate that he wasn't terribly happy to see you there with a table, chairs, and other things that you had clearly brought along? YES! Had you made an agreement with the stranger that he would come back at the end of the festival and help you reload the items? yes, although he didn't actually come back, but that's beside the point. As to why he'd do it, I've found that the folks who are around arts and music festivals tend to be very helpful in general, so I'm not surprised that someone would see you moving badly and offer to help. Did you offer to pay him or did he ask to be paid? irrelevant, but i will explain... ***************SPOILER**************** I had been seeing a chiroprator after somehow hurting my back. I was in bad shape and under specific direction from my doctor not to do anything to strain my back, especially lifting. Well, the time came around for this music and arts festival. I had already paid a rather steep fee for my space in the artist market, so I wasn't going to skip it. A neighbor helped me load my van, and I drove to the festival not knowing how I was possibly going to set up. When I got there and started, rather unsuccessfully, trying to unload my stuff, a homeless man saw me and jumped right in helping me. Clearly I saw that he was hoping for some money in return, and planned on giving him some for sure, because I needed his help badly. He helped set up the tent, the tables, my chair, display boards for hanging some of the art, boxes of artwork, my fan...everything. When everything was set up, he as expected asked if I could spare some change. I gave him 20 bucks and profuse thanks. He got what he needed and I got what I needed. Worked out quite nicely. He thanked me and offered to come back that Sunday to help break down, which he didn't but I was feeling much better by Sunday and was able to do most of the work myself with a little help from festival volunteers. Anyway, that weekend my doctor showed up to the festival to check out the art and music and saw me at my booth. The first words from his mouth were..."You had better be feeling a lot better if you're able to get out here and do all this." I told him I was still hurting, and he was not happy, that is until I told him that in fact I hadn't done much of anything at all, that I had paid someone else to. At that he was very much relieved, and proceeded to enjoy the festival. If only he had bought some artwork from me with all the money I've paid him to fix me! | ||

Very good lateral puzzle--I just couldn't get it out of my head thinking that you had seen the chiropractor at the office. Nice! | ||

That was the AHA! moment -- when I realized that we were all assuming that she'd seen the doctor at his office... Excellent puzzle, Beccaann. Particularly nice that it was such a small lateral step that was needed, rather than a huge lateral leap. |
