First, a definition. A 'Wait a minute' moment is when someone says or does something that you don't grasp. Then, years later, you say, "Wait a minute!" when you realize what was really happening.
I'll go first.
Early in my career, I worked for a small startup. A husband-and-wife kind of business that was doing cool and innovative things. And we worked all. the. time. As in one Tuesday morning at 11 a.m. I looked up at the clock and said, "Welp, I worked a 40-hour week. Guess I can go home now."
The husband of the two kind of seemed a little off to me, but I got along famously with the wife. Working long, long, grueling hours, we there until midnight, one, two in the morning. It was routine. Still can't explain why I spent three years in that place.
A few months in, the wife would complain about her neck and ask for neckrubs and backrubs. Lots of them. As in every night. And if we all grabbed a drink after work, her husband would insist that Melinda ride with me and hang out in my apartment until he could meet us. And sometimes, he wouldn't show up for a couple of hours. Or they'd invite me for dinner and we'd watch a movie. Invariably R-Rated.
Didn't think a thing of it.
The two were neighbors of my sister and BIL. A couple of days ago, I was at her house when she mentioned them and how skeevy the husband was. And that was my Wait A Minute moment. I tell all this to my sister and she laughs. "Oh, they were trying to recruit you."
I was young and naive. Then again, I wouldn't have done it on a bet.
Two years ago, I was out with my friend's friends at the beach. We were having a great time and my friend's best friend was waiting with me as I waited for Lyft. It was a fiasco that night, three Lyfts cancelled on me, one never showed up and J was getting frustrated. He was drunk. He called the one Lyft driver and gave him business. He ended up cancelling.
Well, I finally got a Lyft driver and when the Lyft driver picked me up, I was feeling rushed. As I was getting into the car, I think J kissed my cheek. I didn't realize it at first since there was a lot of commotion, but I am also a derp and don't respond to other people who are being forward, but after I shut the door and the Lyft driver was pulling away, I asked my Lyft driver, "did he kiss me?" The Lyft driver laughed, but he didn't notice either.
I think J kissed me. We still keep in touch, but I never asked him. He's in a relationship now and I think my friend likes me more than a friend, but I could be misreading that too. What a mess.

Not sure what you mean here, they were trying to recruit you for what?

Something similar happened to me and my late husband (almost 40 years ago).
We had stopped at the house of one of his co-workers. We were in the neighborhood so we just stopped to say "Hello" and for Hubby to drop off some papers from work. It was a winter day and they suggested that we "stay overnight because they were predicting a huge snow storm that night". It seemed really odd because it was only about 2 PM, the weather was perfect at that time, and we only lived about 40 minutes away. They gave us a tour of the house and they had the strangest rec room in the basement that we had ever seen. There were four or five huge flat, ottomans (the size of beds) scattered around the room and several oversized "lounging" sofas. Plus, all of the basement windows were completely covered with thick, dark drapes. Really, really odd.
They really encouraged us to "stay overnight" (supposedly) because of the upcoming bad weather. They seemed pretty disappointed when we said that we would just drive to our own house.
It wasn't until much, much later that Hubby and I thought "wait a minute" and realized that they were "swingers" and that is why they wanted us to stay overnight.

I'm afraid you may have to explain what cuckold is to the person who asked the question.
Ummmmm...I think I'll let Mr. Google do that (Warning- NSFW, those of tender sensibilities should make sure 'Safe Search' is 'on').
