I'm Sorry, I Have to Do WHAT?

What it does

An unexpected obligation lands, and you need that last part repeated immediately.

Use it when

  • A task includes a shocking extra step.
  • You discover an obligation nobody mentioned.
  • Clarification is needed before compliance can begin.

For example

  1. The rental checkout list says to repaint the utility closet.
  2. “To activate the card, mail us the original form.”
  3. The recipe's final line begins ‘Now age for six weeks.’
