Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
I was walking through the park one day and I heard something fall into the water. I noticed a woman standing on a bridge. She was crying and I overheard her saying this: "You've brought me nothing but aches and pains. I cannot go anywhere with you holding me back. You have hurt my soul and I can't live any longer with you. I'm leaving you behind! When I come home from work you're all sweaty and smelly! This isn't working!" I just walked past and didn't even look in the water. I was very calm. What did the woman throw (or push) into the river and why did I not care?
Hint
Think of direct meanings.Answer
The woman threw her shoes into the river and I knew this because: She said they hurt her soul. This could mean they hurt her sole. They caused her aches and pains. When shoes get too small or old they tend to do that. They held her back and wouldn't let her walk anywhere. When you walk for a long time in shoes they get sweaty and smelly. I would suggest that she get new shoes!Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Oh! Okay! I get it now! I almost had it. If I'd only worked on it a little longer... Anyway, it was great. Thanks for the hint.
I knew it was an article of clothing.. perhaps if I'd looked at the hint I would've got it?
Anyways... in my experience, wearing shoes for a long time doesn't make them hurt your feet... I've worn the same shoes for like.. two years, and no pains. Yes, they smell, but that's why I'm wearing a different pair now... they will air out in a few days, and be back to normal.
While clever, I don't think this totally fits .. ~_~

Do you wear your shoes a lot? If you did you'd notice that they get worn out after a while.
Omega.. you don't wear women's shoes... they can be extraordinarily painful because they are designed to look nice rather than to be good for your feet.
Men's shoes are comfortable by comparison (thus Robin Williams' comment about "women in comfortable shoes" in Good Morning Vietnam - if you don't know what I mean then look it up)

That was a pretty hard one. I really liked. Keep adding more if you read any.
That was stupid.
lol thats funny
super easy! Any woman out there who has worn high heel shoes should have gotten this one!
P.S. I'd like to throw my shoes in the river (as long as I can go buy new ones)

i totally had no clue
couldnt figure that one out
Yep, the "smelly and sweaty" thing gave it away for me.
I liked it!

The answer could also be her husband because he (the husband) might have been working at a fitness club or a quarry or anywhere where someone working there is deemed to get sweaty and smelly. He would also be very obnoxious, because he hurt her soul.
The answer fits but it could have also been something else such as a back brace or something. Because if the brace rubs the wrong way you might get aches and pains and a back brace deffinitely holds you back. And if it could diffinitely hurt your soul if someone is teasing you about it. When you get home from work it could be sweaty and smelly if you're a hard worker. So i think that this could diffinitely be a possibility.
i was going with a treadmill...
and Atropus - i'm a woman, and my shoes are all comfy (including the nice dressy ones) - if they're not comfortable i'm not going to buy them (why put yourself through pain when you can look just as nice in shoes that don't hurt?)
and to all those women that advocate throwing their shoes in the water - sacrelidge!

i thought it was her bf.but that just would have been stupid and it would have been homicide
She said that her "soul" hurt, not her "sole". The answer of shoes does not fit the misleading clue.
wow, emotion is taken to a new level.
