Back Off!

I was walking near Auckland university a while back. It was between lectures, and there were plenty of people walking here and there. In front of me, I noticed this guy, or rather I noticed his backpack.

Initially, I thought the hand was making a rude gesture, but when I looked more closely, I saw that it was the wrong finger. So I had to think again.

Then I noticed the word OFF. I think the message is: HANDS OFF. In other words: this is my stuff, don’t touch it, don’t touch me, don’t try to steal from me, don’t even think about it, back off.

OK. Got the message.
