I knew today was going to be [B]STRANGE[/B] when...

[jazzcat]

I pulled up to the light at work to enter the parking lot and I saw a naked man standing at the cross-walk. At first I thought I was seeing things but at second look I was truely seeing this along with the rest of the hospital workers at 6:50 this a.m!

I was supposed to meet a friend (tentatively) up from N.C but when she called to leave a message about meeting her the message machine cut her off. Unfortunately the *69 did not help via the phone and the message cut off before she was leaving me a phone #. Thus I have stayed put waiting for her return call. Boo hoo! I'm disappointed since our meeting place(? exactly where) is about 1.5 hours away.

STRANGE

A STREAKER, eh?!!! Was he an OLD man or a NEWER man?!!! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

BTW, I work in a hospital, too. (But no naked men around lately -- that I've SEEN, anyhow!) What do you do there, jazzcat?

Hi Lynn, He was a NEWER man. Probably 30-40 y/o. I think he was praying to the sun so I think he's mentally ill and needs some help.

I'm a hospital pharmacist so I usually don't see a lot of naked men in my profession.

BTW, my friend just called and we're going to try and hook up next week on their way back from VT. Right after that BF called and said his car is on the fritz so I may have to go pick him up. It's always something........ He's going to call me back .

While at tennis practice in college, there was a streaker in the parking lot running back and forth between the cars...and after he left a male security guard stopped by and asked us if we saw the man and to "describe" him. My teammates and I couldn't stop laughing long enough to give a "fitting description"

AT least he was naked and not peeing. I've seen that more than once.

And - slightly OT - if you want to see your share of crazies, work in a court house. I had some guy show up once wanting his case adjourned bc his basement had flooded. He showed up soaking wet to prove his point. I heard his foot steps go "splooshy splooshy" across the marble floors.

...we had an admission once where the step-mother had a baby possum hidden in her up-swept hair-do...the nurse doing the admit looked up and saw these little black eyes peering out at her...in the hospital lobby...seems they were raising it to make possum soup...no lie...

[SusieO]

Um, gabby, and it was the son you were admitting???

[laughsandlaughs]

All I can say about the naked man is that at least he wasn't, shall we say, keeping his hands busy. I saw a man standing in a median on a busy street in Dallas at 4pm one day with his member out and busy. Couldn't believe it! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/eek.gif

I also have seen 2 other guys doing this in their cars as they pull up to stoplights (I was a pedestrian on the sidewalk next to them both times, lucky me). What was worse is that both seemed proud of themselves when I "caught" them (one guy even drove around the block and back by me).

That's the last thing I want to see at the end of the day!!

We live in a part of town that is in transition....when we first got here, we lived across the street from a transvestite hooker...He/She would walk up and down the streets with a walkman singing and dancing. We would peer out the blinds and crack up!

Has anyone been in downtown Santa Fe, and seen the thin little guy with the dark hair and beard who wears shorts all the time and walks around all hours of the day and night? I have been to Santa Fe on a number of occasions and seen him each time ! (And if you have you will know why I bring it up !)

I was at the grocery store late one evening (probably 10:30 or 11:00) several years ago. I had just moved into a new apartment, and was having my parents over for dinner the next day.

As I was leaving the parking lot, I turned around to back out of my parking space, and there was a guy keeping his hands busy. It was probably one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

When I got home I called my boyfriend (now DH) and told him about it. All night, I couldn't sleep because I had that image burned into my head! YUCK!

When I think about that now, it seems so surreal, I am not completely sure that I didn't imagine it. I remember how freaked out I was, though!
