Drunks in the park

I took my son for a walk yesterday, and stopped at the park to feed the ducks. This man comes up to us. He's not wearing a shirt, or shoes, and he just stares at the ground. I asked him his name, and he couldn't tell me. I asked if he'd been drinking, he said just a little bit.

This man made alarm bells go off inside my head when he finally looked me in the eye. I don't know how to describe it. He made all the little hairs on my arm stand at attention. Cliche, I know.

I ended up calling the police when I got home. I told them that I thought he needed some help getting home. My son likes everyone. He constantly says hi to everyone he sees, but he just kinda shrank into my arms and shut his eyes really tightly.

Creepy.

 

Always trust your body's natural instinct like that.

 

probably a crazy homeless guy...

i doubt he was much danger to anything other than your change...


of course when your kid's involved, it's best to play it safe

 

incidentally, parks are a great place to be drunk... as long as you aren't there after dark

 

What the hell, you did not roll the guy, your suppose to roll people in the park. He still had pants you could have taken from him.

 

haha!

 

He sounds like a man with many unmet needs.

 

I LOVE your new signature.

 

Oh, thanks!

 

me too I like it. Swirly. Magical.

 

who is that dude anyhow? it's the same dude as the last one right?

 

I don't like people who bitch about harmless park drunks.

It's sad that you can't be drunk in public in most places here in America.

"Public intox" is pure bullshit and completely ridiculous.

 

as long as they arnt harming people i think its fine which brings me to a story....

i was at a party with my cousins(more of a gathering of friends) anyway there was a guy who was there who was drunk and high on somthin so we left the backdoor open while he was enjoying the backyard so we could keep an eye on him. its an open backyard with one side facing the street. anyhow part way through the party a drunk guy without any pants or shoes on walks in and sits on the couch...it took anyone awhile to notice he was there.. me and my brother were the first ones and notified my cousins who notified leonard the owner of the house who arranged the little get together...the man evidently didnt know where his pants were or where he was so it seemed like he woke up after being drunk i wasnt totally sure but any way that was a weird story about a drunk man wandering in public
