A woman had just finished her shower when the doorbell rang. Her husband was about to step into the bathroom, so she quickly wrapped herself in a towel and hurried to the door. Standing there was Bob, their neighbor.
Without any warning, Bob made an unusual offer: “I’ll give you $800 if you drop the towel.”
The woman hesitated for just a second. Eight hundred dollars was a lot of money—why not? She let the towel fall, took the cash, and closed the door.
When she went back upstairs, her husband asked, “Who was that?”
“Oh, just Bob,” she replied casually.
“Great!” her husband said. “Did he mention the $800 he owes me?”
Her stomach dropped. The money wasn’t a random offer—it was repayment for a debt. She had just accepted cash meant for her husband, all because she hadn’t asked a single question.
The lesson? Always get the full story before saying yes—or you might end up in a very awkward situation!
