A man came in and bought a new pair of pants and some rope. Went to the restroom for a bit, and came out with his fresh new pants, to tie the rope around them like a belt because he was juggling his bags. So he walks up to me, holding out the rope and the waist of his pants (like so you could see straight down them), and asks me to tie it for him. I say, “I’m sorry sir but I’m not going to do that.”
To his credit he looks genuinely embarrassed though, I don’t think he quite thought the request through, and says, “oh...okay, could I set my stuff down then?”
“Yeah sure that’s fine.”
And with his now free hands he ties the rope and gets on his way.
