On Brandon St, I noticed someone with a bike upside down, so I stopped to see if they needed help (as I (almost) always do - hell, there ain't many folk carry as many tools and spares as I do). It was a woman struggling with recalcitrant chaintugs on her white Giant. Her main problem was only having two hands, when the task actually needed four. I helped out, but she knew precisely what she was doing, so it was quite swift.
Just remembered: As I stopped, she checked that I was on a fixed/singlespeed*. She clearly didn't want to have to explain chaintugs from first principles to an ATGNI.
