not sure if i told this already but another thing that happened a while back i had bought a new kitchen table second hand and had it delivered to my flat but obviously it was too big and heavy to carry it up the stairs into my appartment myself. i had a look around and saw a young guy chilling in front of the tattoo shop smoking a cigarette. went up to him and asked if he could help me carry it and he was very vague saying he couldn't really help me that he was sorry etc. i got a bit angry because i feel it was a small thing to ask and he wasn't doing anything anyway so i tried to covince him, "it's only two floors", "with the two of us it takes 1 minute" etc. this went on a while and as i was about to give up and walk away he was like "welllll allright i'll see what i can do". then he shoot away his cigarette, got up and i realized he had only one hand, the hand on his other arm was gone and replaced with a hook just like captain hook has in peter pan. i was very embarrassed because i hadn't noticed and i sort of pressured him to help me and he was probably too ashamed to say why he couldn't help me. but what are the odds!? and it really looked like a pirate's hook, not one of those modern realistic prosthesis.
