True customer support   

While I was having a beer with my colleagues at one of the few breweries in Amsterdam, it happened to see a very, let's say troubled, guy, who seemed very determined to get somewhere. His walk reminded me of those scenes from the cartoons or old mute movies, where a character gets shot, stabbed etc. and he starts a "death dance", makes a few steps then he feels another shiver of death and so on until he hits the ground. Fortunately, our real character didn't hit the ground, he just froze in front of a car, in the middle of the road, until a concerned citizen suggested him to sustain his misery on a pole on the walk way. He was very cooperating and for a while he just stood there for some minutes, probably trying to figure where the hell he is. And now the good part comes, where someone from the brewery came to him with a big glass of water and hands it to him.

As one of the guys mentioned, if someone didn't take him out of the road, he had two options: prison or death. Fortunately, it seemed that he was some kind of premium client of a brewery that takes care of its customers.
