IN: I had some moments of introspection related to turning a quarter - century old , the results of which were a little unsettling . Certainly I ' ve had many reasons to be bitter and unhappy in the past few months , but when did it become such a problem that friends are leaving more subtle hints about it ? Sigh ... it 's never good when you look in the mirror and are n't happy with what you ' ve become .
What do you know about the speaker ?

OUT: The speaker is turning 25 years old .

IN: example of how smooth he is : he jokingly said that i should give him a wake - up call tomorrow morning at 5:30 am when he has to get up for work . i said i would , and then he bet me sushi that i would n't do it . well you know me and challenges like that - i 'm calling him .
What may be the reason he wanted to get a call ?

OUT: He was concerned he would oversleep and be late for his job .

IN: He came up to me and , I kid you not , said , " Oh , I 'd appreciate it if you did n't tell the cops about this . " I looked him right in the eye and said , " What the hell were you thinking ? " He gave me a song and dance about how he was coming off Hook Road , and tried to cut down the access road , and the car was hard to steer , etc .
What may happen before he asks me not to tell on him to the cops ?

OUT:
He did something illegal .
