No. Blokes who walk alone carrying wendy houses tend to be married with kids, which he was.
Not hot. Just didn't "look the sort" to be a feral - and was clearly struggling.
He "spoke nicely" when I did hop out and enquire if he required assistance ... edjumacated ... wiv sustificates like

Should come to my road, we have blokes carrying sofas, tables, wendy houses, slides and anything else you can think of!
The woman at number 4 is the matriarch and her offspring live in roads around here so rather than ferrying things in vans or cars, they just get a load of them together and walk things between the houses. Funniest was on one Christmas day, tables, chairs, Christmas tree, a turkey sizzling in a tray under foil etc...think one of the kids had a cooker disaster :rotfl:
None of us bat an eyelid now even when the weird and wonderful is being carried along.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

My brother uses a skateboard, he has managed to move sofas, washing machines, cookers, rolls of carpet and loads of other stuff from one end of the town to the other just on a skateboard...not all at the same time obviously!We made it!

I sympathise with the guy. Back in the late 70s after not having a telly for far too long, someone gave me a telly that just needed a new valve. Took it to a repairshop, got the valve fitted ( I didn't try it myself as TVs could kill you back then). It was about £10 including labour and I carried it back.
To this day I don't know how I did it; back then even black and white tellies were only slightly easier to carry than grand pianos.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Why do you want to delete a random act of kindness?
I thought that was a very nice thing to do. :T
Must admit, I would like to give general lifts to people, like in the olden days when I did a bit if hitchhiking, but daren't, of course, even to women.
However, in your case, Pastures, I think you were right. You summed up the situation with his body language and saw no threat. You are more intuitive than you think! (I just lurve spiders!)
