had you promised to do that thing? did you pretend that you had? did she just assume that you had? would it have helped if you had done it? I = you, Galfisk? is this a true story? FYOI? FSEI? was she not happy because she was disappointed? | ||

She = HAF, an acquaintance of yours? 1) What you might or should have done: 1a) Help cleaning the house? 1aa) Help washing the bed sheets? (okay, hee hee, read that with a giggle - bcz all we women know what a pain in the ass it is to wash them and then replace them without help. Sorry.) 1b) You both were in the middle of a bank robbery, and she was the one who grabbed the bags of cash, but you were foiled in being the get-away driver, because you couldn't find the damned place to park? 1c) Is "She" someone who has to be obeyed in all things? 1d) Were you (and she) concerned with digging a body for a corpse? 1e) Or in any other way concerned with a corpse? OR: 2) "I hadn't done what she thought I had" 2a) Again, is this something domestic, such as: forgetting to fix the TV's remote control? forgetting to pay bills? Is she a classroom teacher who expected lots from you, and you kinda didn't live up to those expectations? (Same question can be asked of phys ed. coaches, musical tutors, math profs, ets.) Or, Galfisk, was this in an intimate relationship? I've tried to come up with my own queries and not overlap on those of THE GREAT SHEZ. Looking forward to learning more clues!

Okay, what you didn't do: Was it a domestic (specifically in her home) job that she thought you would do? Did she think you would babysit? Other chores? You call it "A Trick." Is it important in which room of the house? / building? she thought you would do something? Does it have to do with pets? Walking the dog? Cleaning the kitty box?

Did she think you watched her type it in? Yes! ****SPOILER**** When I told her the password she had quickly typed in, she was very annoyed and accused me of looking at what she was typing. Anyone who have tried this knows it's next to impossible to follow what keys are being pressed. She was even more annoyed when I explained this and told her that her password was trivial to guess (pet name of her baby girl+the year she was born). She was convinced that I couldn't have guessed it just like that. Thanks for playing! |
