Suspiciously Clean Criminal Record
A law enforcement character or private investigator is looking into the background of another character. Upon looking into their record, someone will say that they have a spotless record, without even a minor infraction like a misdemeanor, speeding ticket, or parking ticket. It counts just as much as if they mention that the only thing on their record is a minor ticket; if that's the worst they have, then it's not that bad.
Step Servant
Your father has remarried, and you hope you will have it as good as Abraham Lincoln and have a just and caring new stepmother. Sadly, that ends up not being the case and instead you have become an out-and-out servant, if not an out-and-out slave, to your stepmother and any "relatives" she deems better than you. You have become a Step Servant.
