Are you a human statue?

[Judgeneo]

No I'm not referring to our collective Adonis-esque physiques, I'm talking about these guys and gals:

Spoiler

I've always thought its a rather odd profession to fall into, standing around covered in paint and awkward clothing, pretending to be less than human in the hopes that change will fall in front of you.

So GD, are you, or do you know a human statue? and how did you/they become one?

 

[cheesyboy]

For some reason, I love these guys

I always think the ones who are in a seated position are cheating.

Not a human statue but I do part time mannequin work at Primark. Mostly in the children's wear section.

Must be quite an arresting job with all that fondling.

I'm always rock hard, so I guess so?

Its when they decide they want the clothes I'm actually wearing that it gets really awkward.

We get quite a few of these in Nottingham city centre.. one gives out lollypops, another is a vampire that scares people.

yea the guy said the wet finger in his ear pushed him over the edge

Mulder told Australia's 9 News he's "not proud" of hitting the man.

"He was in the wrong, but at the same time I was in the wrong for striking out. Violence is never vindicated," Mulder was quoted as saying.

The street busker said it was the wet finger in his ear that pushed him over the edge.

"He stuck that finger in my ear and I just thought, 'you just crossed a boundary there,'" Mulder told 9 News.

He said he would apologize to the man if they ever met again.

Officials with the Surfers Paradise Alliance, which hires street performers, said they have "counseled" Mulder about how to handle future flare-ups with bystanders, the Courier Mail reported.

A police source said it was highly unlikely any further action would be taken, according to the newspaper.

Most people would surely do the same
