Lofty attitude
I most certainly did not sneakily investigate the attic of my brand-new student flat, which had been finished one week previously and still smelt of paint. This sneaky non-investigation did not then result in my slipping and almost putting my foot through the ceiling, leaving a thoroughly non-visible dent that caused the Senior Accommodation Officer to not complain about the shoddy worksmanship when he didn't inspect the flat the following day. No. Not at all.
