At the post office the other day, my wife was wearing a really nice handmade scarf that I'd brought her back from Taiwan.
As she walked away from the counter, a small nail holding the molding that apparently isn't hammered in all the way caught the scarf, pulls the threads and has ruined it.
My wife said to the bloke behind the counter, "There's a loose nail here, it just ruined my scarf.", but the bloke barely made eye contact and just said "Oh."
