When the disco ended, a man got extremely angry with me. He thought I was pretending to be someone I was not.

You: Sarisberie? Was he angry that you were pretending? Did he think you were pretending to be you but was someone else? Was he drunk? Did he think you were pretending to be: a specific person?

Relevant that is was after a disco? Relevant where the disco took place? indoors? outdoors? was the man one of the visitors at the disco? was he part of the staff? was he police? was he somehow related to the person he thought you were pretending to be?

Did the lights reveal a false assumption that he had made about you in the dark? If so, related to your gender? ethnicity? age?

by **trebor2** » Fri Oct 14, 2022 5:52 pm

Just so I'm clear, is does disco here just mean "club"? A dancing contest? Is it relevant whether you're dancing to disco music, or just like modern electronic music or whatever?

Gotta shake this question: roller disco relevant?

Did the man think you'd cheated while dancing? Does he think you have some ability that gives you a leg up?

UV light relevant?

Did he think you were pretending to be a specific person? Did he think you were someone working at the disco? That you were a cop? That you were someone who could hook him up with some substances that would make the night more enjoyable? Drugs/alcohol relevant at all?

Is a disco like a rave? Are glow sticks relevant? Other trippy dancing accoutrements?

Are any other people relevant?

Had you interacted with this guy throughout the disco?

Is a disco like a rave? it predated the rave. Much more pedestrian! Irr. Are glow sticks relevant? Other trippy dancing accoutrements? Only alcohol was available.

Are any other people relevant? no

I realize I was thinking this was happening in the 2000s. (Which contributed to me going, "What is a disco now?") Did it happen in the 70s? 80s? Relevant?

Were you using sign language during the disco? after the disco? Was he?
Were you doing dance moves that he mistook for you signing?

by **trebor2** » Wed Nov 09, 2022 2:54 am

Had you been not dancing, which he took to mean you couldn't hear the music? Had you been dancing very close to the speakers, which he thought meant you were up close so you could hear? Did he think you were reacting more to physically feeling the vibrations of the music, vs hearing it normally? Were you doing things like leaning in close whenever someone was talking to you? Were you focusing extra-hard on trying to lip-read?

Were you there with someone deaf, who you were signing with? Even if you weren't, were you signing with people you wanted to talk to because it was easier than shouting over the music?

When the lights went on, did he see you hearing people? (If that makes sense?) Like, not having to rely on signing anymore? Did he see you talking? Had he assumed you were also mute?

Was he hard of hearing? Did he live in a flat complex with a policeman and Jake, the blind boy from your previous puzzle?

READY FOR A *********************************************$POYLOR*************************************************

I was at a disco. The man, who chose to spend a fair amount of time with me, presumed I was deaf. When the disco ended, he realised I wasn't. He then got very angry with me for 'pretending' to be deaf. I tried to convince him that I hadn't, which made things even worse. I got home OK though.

Thanks to everyone who took part and to trebor2 for the solve
