Local crazy guy

Heinz57 · 3 Oct 2018 at 22:42

We had a guy who would go to the dog waste bin at the end of the road and would fill his backpack with the contents (using his bare hands). Some of our neighbours would plead with him to stop, he would just ignore them and carry on.

It went on for ages, despite one of our neighbours being a nurse who contacted all the relevant people. If I remember he kept wandering off from a day centre, but they must have moved him because one day it just stopped.

Quite worrying to see, nevertheless.

We used to have a local 'crazy' guy. Used to go around talking to himself, or waving his arms around like he was flying. My Grandad used to know his Mum. That's just how he was. He had a mental condition. Wouldnt hurt a fly. I think he ended up getting beaten up when a group picked on him. Never seen him since.

Have a women like that here - walks down our street in the middle of the road completely oblivious to any traffic though strangely once she gets to the main road she doesn't try that, goes to the local garage and then back to wherever she came from. Talking and arguing to herself sometimes laughing manically or screaming at the sky. Sometimes stops on a grass bank with a carrier bag full of cans and sits there laughing manically non-stop for several hours.

Never shown any signs of being dangerous infact seems utterly oblivious to anything.

Poo in his letterbox?

You have to pee on him to assert your alpha male dominance :mad:

It seems everyone has a local crazy then

He's probably harmless.......I hope!

I remember we used to have a guy at work who called himself captain black and claimed he was from Mars. He'd do something weird like talk to his lunch or spend an hour staring at a lamp post regularly.

This state of affairs is the result of the closure of the large, foreboding, doom laden Victorian asylums that we had back in the day, where local
crazies, loons, drunks, ne'erdowells, flashers, enthusiastic cottagers and women of low virtue would be incarcerated summarily by order of the police, a GP,
the local council and even their own family.

You know, one day old George would be showing his wizened todger to all and sundry in the high street, the next day, poooff, he be gone.

So many nutters in my little Swedish town I lost count.

IvanDobskey · 4 Oct 2018 at 08:47

Well this guy should be in a nice warm padded cell in my opinion.

Every.

Morning.

Not sure if he's still whistling...

Same. He's a cool guy though. He was always perfectly dressed in a suit, had a couple of pedals pinned on his jacket, and he walked with a cane like he was some sort of army Major (no idea about ranks, something high up). He would just walk really fast and whistle. Sometimes he'd stop and smell my parent's roses.

We've nicknamed this guy 'squirrel ****' as in nuttier than

Doesn't sound nutty to me.

He was on his lunch break

I remember nipping out for lunch, driving past him stood there staring at the lamp post. He was still there when came back an hour later.

He also used to follow the walls of the building as he was worried about getting beamed up by aliens if he strayed to far out into open space

Just LOL if you're not comparing your local potential nutjob on the Purple Aki scale:

1 is worrying but probably manageable.
5 is deeply troubling and you may have fled the country already, leaving your house and family behind.
10 is PURPLE AKI TIME.

dowie · 4 Oct 2018 at 10:26

LOL, I'd forgotten about him, I only learned about Purple Aki thanks to OCUK forums.

IvanDobskey · 4 Oct 2018 at 10:31

Yeah, I remember purple Aki, complete and utter loon, scary bloke!

I don't think squirrel **** is quite in his league!

Haha Purple Aki, what a chief. Wonder what he's up to now?

"In 2017, Solita Bar and Grill apologised for naming a burger ‘Purple Teriyaki’, in reference to Arobieke's nickname, after complaints that the name could be construed as racist. The restaurant had posted the name on Twitter with a photo of a sign which included an arm squeezing a bicep."
