Archive. How I Avoid Criminals
I once became a victim of a crime.
Then again.
Then again.
Over time, it becomes a habit ...
No, this is not a habit!
Each time it happens as if for the first time.
But certain skills develop.
And curious thoughts come.
Please note that these events are taking place in a country I have invented. Moreover, in the world that I created ..
Instead of an introduction. Or so that it is not scary to read ...
"Paralysis" in times of danger
If I find myself in a dangerous situation, I used to fall into a "stupor", "paralysis".
I worked on this for a long time, but everything seemed rather complicated. It takes a long time to develop a habit of mobilization and an adequate response. And visiting martial arts sections.
I was able to find that in difficult situations the feeling of fear, paradoxically, disappears.
One more time, slowly.
In
difficult
situations,
the feeling of fear
... disappears.
???
!!!
Yes Yes...
Watch movies about hunting wild animals. Only now look not at the fangs of the predator, but at the eyes of the victim.
Hence the technique.
The first reasonably effective step was to create a sense of fear.
???
!!!
Yes Yes...
Why don't you like fear? After all, this is a powerful sense of concern for your own safety! Helps to prevent various problems. This is similar to the sense of security that I strive to achieve, but do not fully achieve.
What good is a feeling of complacency?
And the most important thing, it seems to me.
How to quickly generate fear?
The key to fear is panic. It is very difficult for me to create a feeling of fear. It is most likely difficult to evoke this feeling quickly. And if you panicked, please ...
The second step was something I hadn't expected and hadn't worked on before. This is breathing.
If I observe which parts of the body are in motion when breathing in a difficult situation? I did my best. In theory, of course! I remembered a terrible movie. I began to recall numerous examples from literature.
It turned out that when a person is under stress, he is so constrained that he does not breathe at all.
If a person does not breathe, the fuel supply stops, the body freezes. This is where "paralysis" comes from.
Of course, holding your breath is also a useful defense mechanism. When you need to hide so you won't be found. And if you need to run?

Rescue cry
You need to master a high "whiny" voice. Suitable for all complex cases.
I had a friend who talked like that all the time. I imitated him, and now it often comes in handy ...
It is even better to shout the "correct" phrases. Not an incoherent howl. This forms the image of the "child (plus women) from a noble rich family in danger". Works better.

I
In the Village
I live in the village. Came for the summer months. I work remotely. Rather, I have been working for many years to turn this work into remote work. All day I sit by the computer. Although life requires constant movement in order to survive. But more about that some other time.
Living in a village it is difficult not to take advantage of the opportunity that has come up and not to walk "in the fresh air". In general, there is fresh air all around ... I walk to the forest and back. It takes about half an hour.
Here you need to add an important detail that may seem insignificant, but played a key role in this story.
I go for a walk with a shovel ... Yes, yes - with a real shovel. Ground digging tool. Completely iron, only the handle at the end has a plastic cover. Heavy.
It all started with this shovel ... No, not like that ... This shovel became a catalyst ... It became an incentive ...
It is better to describe the situation itself, and then draw some conclusions. But the find is too good! Catalyst shovel. The shovel is the key to everything.
So I went for another walk. To the forest.
Damn, there are so many details! And important details. And it is better to mention these details in order to draw the full picture of what happened.
Let's try a list.
1. Shovel.
2. Unmown grass.
3. Theft of the forest.
Perhaps these three components of this tangle of events should be mentioned.
Now let's expand item number one.
I have had a craving for martial arts for a long time. A couple of years ago, here in the village, I was mastering kata with a stick. Instead of real "joe" I used a shovel handle. Wood. Having mastered the kata with a handle, I tried it with a shovel. The same one. At first, I waved it with enthusiasm, came up with a couple of exercises to strengthen the hands, which I did on the way to the forest. Then the enthusiasm faded, but somehow I got used to carrying a shovel with me and never parted with it. Over time, I noted the following with satisfaction. If at first it was not easy to carry this heavy instrument, the hands were buzzing upon returning home. By now I hardly notice it. The instrument became an "extension of the hand".
Self-defense was the initial motivation for carrying a shovel. A walk in the forest is a rather dangerous activity. The forest is full of animals. Mosquitoes - a mosquito net saves from them. And what about wild boars, moose, wolves? Even a very disgruntled fox can be dangerous. Once I was almost attacked by seagulls, but that's a completely different story.
In general, the presence of something long and heavy in the hand is very conducive to a good mood.
And most importantly, people. Mushroom pickers are armed with knives, sometimes of amazing sizes. Tourists with guard dogs. Drunk "on vacation". Hunters with guns - these come in the late afternoon.
And see point 3 - "people stealing the forest". These can be the most dangerous. And more on that later.
So this year, the neighbors spoiled my mood with special zeal ... Therefore, my section of the street was mowed down unpretentious, but it's hard to find fault, - it is clear that they were mowing. The area near the house is poorly mowed . And behind, - not mowed at all.
Why is it important ?. Because this year the grass and weeds are especially dense. This is the warming of the climate. By the way, I can tell you separately that when I first came to the village a couple of years ago, the weeds And the weather this year is warm and rainy. In general, the grass in the rear area is practically impassable. And the last couple of years the weeds are taller than me.
And for a walk, I go through the back section. Now it is clear?
These days, because of the unmown grass, I was forced to go for a walk through the village, and not, as usual, through my backyard. I walked along the main street (and it is alone), past all the houses. Then I walked out onto the road that runs past the village. Cars drive along this road. From the forest. And into the forest.
And I moved towards. Down this road. And it so happened that at the same time a team of lumberjacks was returning. Which took the stolen logs out of the forest. And the customer was waiting for them at the crossroads. That is, I walked by at the moment when the transfer of the stolen logs to the buyer was to take place.
Here I can be interrupted and corrected. They say you are mistaken. They are honest, kind, good people. Yes, they were driving from a forest with logs. It is a crime? And they met their good old friend.
And I do not mind that they are kind and good people. But are they honest? If they were honest, they would not take out logs from the forest, but garbage and branches for processing. Since their license is most likely for clearing the forest, and not for felling.
Why do I think so? And I watched their work all summer. It so happened that where I walk in the woods, they were just engaged in felling. Moreover, there are trees marked with red paint for felling - obviously bad, but they did not touch them. And obviously good trees were cut down. And they did not take out the branches and garbage. On the contrary, they dirtied the forest with their garbage and the branches from their cutting only became more. And they knocked down a lot of young, good forest, making their way to their chosen trees. The forest there now looks like after the bombing.
And why did these honest people, seeing me, out of fright unload the logs at the edge of the village, and not take them to their old friend, who was waiting for them at the crossroads?
And you will laugh ... But the next day I went for a walk again. Believing in the honesty of people. And the situation repeated itself. Again I met the lumberjacks. A good old friend was waiting for them again. Probably again he was passing by by chance. Again, they had to dump the logs at the edge of the village.
Although I am not describing all this in order to bring someone to clean water.
And for what?
This is where we get to the point. When I went for a walk again, they were already waiting for me. The same "old friend". By car. I reviewed it. A young man with a decent black beard in the current fashion. Strong physique.
This time he was sitting in the car. Lowering the side window. A girl from our village stood at the door. I never spoke to her. Only greeted from afar.
This time she did not greet me. And she began to quickly approach me.
"Why are you walking here?"
I was not surprised.
"I'm for a walk here ..."
It looks like she was not amused by the hidden humor in the answer.
"Why with a shovel? What are you digging there?"
I began to explain that I was not digging anything. And the shovel is for training. And defiantly began to twist the shovel in his hand.
"Look, there are timber trucks here ..."
"What do I care about timber trucks?"
I began to turn around politely but decisively, turning my side to her, making it clear that the conversation was over.
But she was already leaving.
Interesting dialogue? No.
The content of the dialogue is interesting. And it was filled with hidden meaning.
Well, at first glance. What are people usually told? Note - to semi-familiar people. With whom, note again, we have never spoken before. They only greeted.
That's right, they say "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "May I bother you for a moment?"
Then. You need to have a weighty reason in order to approach a person so easily.
Is it more interesting now?
What happened?
1. I was brazenly stopped.
2. I was unceremoniously interrogated.
3. And most importantly. I was threatened!
Take a look at my answers. I made excuses. As if I was to blame!
And yet, in my place, in such a situation, even a very polite person would not talk. After the very first words "Why are you walking here?"
But I understood the context of the dialogue!
So I made excuses. Because I was grateful.
Grateful? For what?
For not being killed. Which is unlikely. But probably. Let me remind you that I witnessed a crime.
I was grateful not to be beaten. But this was very likely.
And now you can see the situation in a completely different light.
They came up to me and made mercy ... Yes, yes! They just did me good! Warned. And at that limit of politeness that criminals are capable of. In this situation. When I distract them from stealing. Have you tried taking a bone from a dog?
Let's get back to the dialogue. Let's translate what is happening into the language of animals.
They growled at me. And I whimpered in response. And then, I set my tail between my legs, I ran away.
Although not quite I with my tail between my legs and not quite I'm whining.
Recall that I held a shovel in my hand and even twisted it in the air.
Perhaps the shovel saved me.

In a Prison
Criminals serving sentences in prison are often engaged in socially useful labor for their own livelihood.
These are types of work organized for the needs of prisoners. They are provided with the necessary materials, they give out products. They make money on this, the money goes to their personal account from which they can then buy food in the internal store.
I was personally curious about what incentives are generated in such conditions to increase production efficiency. I wonder what kind of production "tricks" the prisoners use in their work. It is informative how work is woven into everyday life, what joys such work brings and what problems exist. I imagine that in such conditions a person's life, living conditions depend literally on trifles.
And perhaps there is magic there that allows you to survive... For example, magic items that affect fate. What joys and sorrows are there in this world?
I learned about one such activity of prisoners. An acquaintance of mine once worked in a team of prisoners who knitted nets. Small nets for potatoes. Cord thread and hand shuttle are used. Everything seems to be easy. Wrap the thread on the shuttle and knit. At first he had one shuttle. The winding of the thread was enough for about a third of the net. That is, to knit one net, he got up from the work table three times, approached the place where the thread hung for general use, wound the shuttle, returned and continued to knit. Plus he went out for a smoke break (he smoked) several times during his shift to the smoking area. Plus lunch followed by a short walk "in the sun" and, of course, a smoke break. He fulfilled the production rate, though "right next to". It was 7 nets per shift.
This was the first stage in mastering the process without any scheme or algorithm that would improve work and its efficiency. That is, his approach to this work is "no schemes or systems."
The beginning of the second stage of his work as a "netting" was at first a slight anxiety of frequent getting up for the thread. He decided this by purchasing two more shuttles. Thus, he significantly increased the efficiency of his work. If before, in order to make one net, let me remind you, he got up three times and walked to fetch the thread, now once. Three thread shuttles - one net - stand up and stuff once. A total of seven lifts per shift, instead of 21.
Then he again reduced the climbs - increased the number of shuttles. The calculation shows that you need to have 21 shuttles to get up once. But this is rather boring - a lot of stuffing, then a lot of knitting. And experienced workers are usually limited to about 10 shuttles to get up a couple of times per shift - stretch their legs and change activities. But they have additional shuttles - the thread is not always comfortable enough for knitting and, if a good thread comes across, spare shuttles are used for stuffing "in stock".
It would seem that everything ... What else can you tell about the knitting of meshes and the effectiveness of this process?
All, but not all! People who have mastered this stage of knitting (10 shuttles) are persistent "good guys" who know how to memorize well, but do not spend their time on research and attempts to increase work efficiency, but spend their time on entertainment (smoke breaks with conversations, walks, frequent getting up to mesh in the case of mesh bindings). And they are in the majority. Let me remind you that there are slobs with one shuttle or a maximum of three.
And now the highlight on the cake! Or how to increase the efficiency of knitting nets to the maximum unthinkable at first sight.
First, the tool. Agree - an important part of the job. Correct tool fit increases productivity. And the comfort of the work process. Why not?
For example, among shoe-makers making shoes one of the main tools is lingering tongs. This tool is similar to a pair of pliers, but longer and with curved jaws. They are used to stretch the edge of the leather when working with the pulling of the shoe on the last. So ticks are different. I have come across ticks that you can work with, but it does not bring pleasure.
But there are "magic" ticks! As shoemakers say: "The tongs work by themselves!" And this is not a miracle, this is an observation.
How "magic ticks" work. The sponges of standard pliers, for some reason I do not understand, form an angle of 90 degrees with the handle, while for magic ones this angle is 45 degrees. The lips of ordinary ticks are almost straight, the lips of magic ones are curved almost in a circle. And also the lips of magic mites are short and thinner towards the edge. The edge is almost sharp enough that a little more and he would tear the skin. The malleus at the base of ticks in standard ticks is not very large and massive, in magic ticks it is large and massive. The handles of standard pliers are the same length, the handles of magic ones have different lengths. So what's the magic? Consider the design differences carefully. The master clearly wanted to achieve some kind of effect with a massive hammer, a long back handle, short lips curved in a circle. In a circle ... The magic pincers, if you shake them in your hand, have a clear imbalance in gravity in favor of the back. If you put them on a support with a hammer, they will start to "overturn" back. We take the skin of the workpiece by the edge with sponges, the hammer is on the block. Squeeze the skin with sponges. Be very careful - they are sharp! And we slightly pull on ourselves ... The mites "help" you to pull the skin with their imbalance. Curved lips press the leather against the last. ALREADY pressing. If the lips were straight, you would have to make one more extra movement with the pliers to press the skin. Then let go of the skin and drive the nail into the edge. Here the massive hammer of pincers, which helped you to pull the skin towards you earlier, again "works" - you hammer the nail faster and easier, again spending less movements. Here comes the magic!
And the shoemaker's hammer ... It's a fairy tale! Its handle, wide at the bottom, is strongly worn down to the striker, the sting is massive and flattened. Well, the same imbalance method is applied, the hammer seems to "fall" forward when you hold it in your hand. Due to this design, it is easier to master such a virtuous movement as hitting a nail while simultaneously pulling on the cap (for a more thorough pulling of the skin on the block). If the hammer is done correctly, the movement, as it were, "itself" occurs almost in a circle - for this, the blow is made at 45 degrees to the head of the nail and then the movement continues "toward itself". This tightens the nail and pulls the skin. If the hammer is not well balanced, the nail has to be tightened further with your finger. With a good "magic" hammer, the finger only holds the nail back from moving.
This is how the knitter's shuttle is magical. It's as long as possible. It has very thin walls and a sting. As subtle, again, as possible. This allows more thread to be filled, which is essential. And makes the shuttle stuffed with thread "to the eyeballs" quite massive. What for? It would seem that the lighter the shuttle, the more comfortable it is - it does not pull the hand. This is only at first glance ... If the shuttle is massive enough, when the shuttle moves forward, the knitter almost throws it sharply from below into the cell and then, as it were, picks up the shuttle. This is easier and faster than making steady movements (which is inevitable if the shuttle is short and / or thick-walled and therefore light). And with a long shuttle, you don't need to tighten the knots with your little finger - this is done by moving the lower end of the shuttle.
The rest of the Knitter's Tool can be magic too.
Firstly, it is a wooden case, where the instrument is always neatly laid. Only one shuttle works. The signal for lunch is to throw the shuttle into the box and you are ready. The working day is over - everyone is taking the instrument to their living quarters. It's comfortable. There are people who continue to knit there too. Why? Didn't have time for the working day. Sometimes this is an additional income. It is convenient to knit and watch TV, which is not available in the workplace. The air is better. You can interrupt work when you want it, and not on a signal. Well, and then - you are at home ... Of course, they grumble at such people and make fun of them, but they are not prohibited from working.
Razor blade. The thing is very productive. Well, first of all, they shave. But even after shaving, it remains a very useful thing. It is broken up and placed inside an aluminum plate bent in half. The blade is about three times as long as the blade itself. It turns out a small hatchet, which is very convenient and safe to cut the thread during the knitting process. The second half of the blade is carefully placed into the knitter's pencil case for later use. Where? First, there is a stock for the "hatchet". Then they can trim their nails - an important procedure. The cut is very smooth and free of burrs - you can't cut it like that with scissors. And the barbs on the nails cling to the thread.
Another vital function of the blade half. It is important to mention here that the knitter often keeps cigarettes in his pencil case. And when he goes on a smoke break, he pulls out only one cigarette. This warns of requests in the smoking room: "Let me light a cigarette." There is only one cigarette. Here it is necessary to prevent misunderstanding of the problem. Generosity and openness are good qualities, but there is a likelihood of running into so-called "freeloaders" who live off others and use even such trifles as other people's cigarettes. And there are people who have the following weakness - they cannot refuse extortionists. The everyday life of a knitter helps, if not get rid of, then put this weakness within a reasonable framework. Plus, you can't discount people who strive to live at the expense of the weaker. How to resist this? The "magic" pencil case helps where you can leave a pack of cigarettes. For people with limited means, weak in spirit and / or completely unwilling to share (it turns out - to show weakness) there is also such a device as a small round aluminum pencil case. It is possible to store cigarettes in it, it is more convenient than in a pack - tobacco does not spill, cigarettes do not wrinkle. And it should be borne in mind that the thread is bleached with chlorine and is sometimes still wet. And in the pencil case there are also shuttles with thread. Therefore, cigarettes in such a case are better protected from odor and moisture. And here we will describe about that very one more useful function of the blade half - they can cut cigarettes into "halves". What for? If you have a mouthpiece, you insert a "half" into it and calmly go to the smoking room. Guaranteed protection against beggars: "Stop smoking". Plus, it's worth noting that half smokes faster, which is important for those who save on smoke breaks, trying to make more nets and smoke in the workplace. More authoritative people allow themselves this, since it is clear that not everyone likes to breathe someone else's smoke. Plus the lack of ventilation. Almost anyone can quickly smoke a half, and many use it. A person can be blamed for smoking a whole cigarette in the workroom and emitting columns of smoke on the floor of the workshop. But what if a person bent down and took a couple of puffs practically "under the table"? In general, the knitters' workshop is always heavily smoked ...
How else to improve the efficiency of the knitting process?
Like any profession, knitting must be mastered. How to master? After a person has learned the basic movements, then there is an increase in efficiency and comfort.
A thread. It comes in different qualities. Rather, three qualities. Beautiful, good, and wicked. Knit by all. Because what kind of hang such and have to knit. But if you need to increase comfort, then the thread is bought separately for themselves. There is such a special thread. Soft and durable, not chlorine treated. In my opinion, it is nylon, and not the usual cord. When knitting with such a thread, it seems that you are in paradise. Knitting turns into pleasure, the thread glides pleasantly causing an indescribable feeling of bliss in the fingers.
And what is the bliss of a shoemaker? What did I like about being a shoemaker? A shoemaker's workshop is a place where visitors are not allowed. What if the attacker? The shoemaker's doors are not locked, but no one is particularly torn. There are so many cutting and stabbing objects that it probably does not appear in my thoughts to go there. Maybe that's why I liked it there? Feels safe.
But security alone is not enough. You also need bliss.
Knitting with a good thread ... That's where ...
Feelings of "bliss" in the fingers. What else? Waiting for a miracle? Well, yes, when the ticks work "by themselves". Such a languid sweet expectation ...

If Banditry Occurs
This is an Open Robbery. Robbery without constraint. But this does not mean that the bandits completely lost their conscience. They entered into an agreement with conscience.
One form of such agreement can be called "I'm Robin Hood." This can happen to a person who, for example, a loved one is in a dangerous situation, and urgently needs money.
Why Robin Hood? Because a person decides to rob not the poor, but the rich, ugly moneybags. And then this is no longer called robbery, but the restoration of justice. This can be used to defend against bandits. It is necessary to break the external installation - to let them know that you are poor.
But this may not work without breaking through a deep installation - to save a loved one. It breaks through a statement that you also have a loved one in trouble.
In fact, it looks something like this: "I have no money!" It's nice to add here. "All spent on tickets!" That is, you already had little money, and you managed to spend it. That is, you are poor and still in a hopeless situation. This reinforcement is necessary so that the bandits believe that you don’t even have any little things left that can be taken away. Well, then the final blow - here the problem with a loved one is stated.
This, by the way, may work in more complex cases. For example, when saving a loved one for a bandit is an excuse to solve their own material problems. And in even more complex cases, when the problem itself with a loved one is contrived.

If a Robbery Comes in
Robbery is an open, but still theft. And the robber at the same time strive to remain unrecognized. Therefore, it is preventive in situations where robbery is likely (dark deserted streets, places overgrown with plants, etc.), I sometimes try to look around and closely examine the people who are following me, trying to clearly see their faces. After I meet the eye with a real burglar, it is likely that he will abandon his plan.

Meeting with a Thief Armed with a Sharpened Coin
Sharpened coin? This for cutting bags.
1. I load low-value items into my backpack and bag.
2. I keep valuables, money, bank cards closer to my body in my pockets, or in my purse carefully hidden under my clothes or in my pocket. The handbag should look like in no way resembling a wallet and be able to withstand cutting. At one time I wore a hard case from a small camera - its outline in my pocket shows a small, clearly solid box.
Now I switched to plastic bags - they protect the contents from moisture and create through the clothes an outline that does not look like a money container. When I take out my bags, I look like a bum, but I feel calmer.

Deals with conscience. "I am Robin Hood"
A person decides to rob not the poor, but the rich, ugly "bags of money." And then it is no longer a robbery, but the restoration of justice.
At the first stage, a person becomes a kind of petty gangster.
This can manifest itself, for example, in small things. A person gladly agrees to be paid for in a restaurant, for this he mentally decides that the payer is "a rich ugly bag of money." And that's all - for him the conscience is clear. Next stage. He may find a wallet and not return it by making a similar deal with his conscience.
Next stage. He may not return the book, the borrowed money.
Next stage. (It is good if he is aware of his complex.) Deliberately borrowing money with the aim of not returning it.
And so on.

When bandits surrounded me
Banditry is open robbery. Forced robbery. Often with weapons.
This does not mean that the bandits have completely lost their conscience. They made a pact with conscience.
One form of such an agreement can be called "I am Robin Hood." This can happen to a person who, for example, a loved one is in a dangerous situation, and he urgently needs money.
Why Robin Hood? Because a person decides to rob not the poor, but the rich, ugly "bags of money". And then it is no longer a robbery, but the restoration of justice.
This is what can be used to protect against bandits. It is necessary to break the external attitude - to make it clear that you are poor.
But this may not work if you do not break through a deeper installation - to save a loved one.
This attitude can be reached through the statement that you, too, have problems with your loved one.
In fact, it looks something like this: "I have no money!" Nice to add here. "Everything was spent on tickets!" That is, you already had little money, and you managed to spend it. That is, you are poor and still in a desperate situation. Almost like them! Just like them!
This reinforcement (with tickets) is needed in order for the bandits to believe that you don't even have any little things left to pick up. And here we need specifics.
And now the last blow is a problem with a loved one.
"My girlfriend is sick! I'm going to the hospital!"
This, by the way, can work in more complex cases. For example, when the salvation of a loved one for a bandit is a pretext for solving his own material problems. And in even more difficult cases, when the very problem with a loved one is contrived.
You also need to master a high "whiny" voice.

How I Prevent Pickpocketing
1. I store low-value things in my backpack, in my bag.
2. I keep valuables, money, bank cards close to my body in my pockets or purse, carefully hidden under my clothes. A purse should in no way resemble a wallet. I once carried a hard case from a small camera - in my pocket the outline shows a small box.
Now I have switched to plastic bags - they protect the contents from moisture and create a contour through the clothes, not like a money container. When I take out my plastic bag at the checkout, I look like a moron, but I feel calmer.
My friend had a nice stylish wallet. He carried it in the back pocket of his jeans. Athletic butt tightly wrapped in jeans. Stylish, satisfyingly smelling of genuine leather, wallet, almost half sticking out of the back pocket. Cool! The wallet was stolen on the bus ...

Scammers.
Taking possession of my property with formal consent.
Complex "I am an emperor", "I am a prince", I am a nobleman. "
This allows the fraudster to treat all of your items as their own and, on this basis, force them to give themselves a "tribute."
Rescue from fraudsters - a request for a loan, help. This contradicts his role, because he has no money and power - and the realization of his helplessness leads him to a stupor.
Plus, increase the effect by mentioning that you owe a large amount of money to influential people - here he will understand that he has climbed into someone else's territory, and you will give him a good incentive not to mess with you anymore.

Selfish friend
This is a more difficult way to cheat. Moreover, the fraudster himself may sincerely consider you his friend. but his conscience covers the same emperor complex. Therefore, the friendship test is about the same as with an ordinary scammer.
Rescue from fraudsters - a request for a loan, help. This contradicts his role, because he has no money and power - and the realization of his helplessness leads him to a stupor.

Unexpected career change
If someone knocks on your house and introduces themselves as a cable guy, start with a reasonable doubt.
1. Where is his instrument?
2. Why does he wear such clothes? If he is in uniform, then it should be crumpled and dirty in places. And if he is in stylish jeans and an expensive leather jacket?
3. Why is he behaving like a sales person?
4. Why without a call?
5. Why does he, having the appearance of a film actor, work in such an inconspicuous field?
6. With biceps and boxing moves like this, he looks more like a nightclub security guard.
7. Where does such a lively and curious look of a visitor of expensive restaurants and a connoisseur of expensive wines come from?
