Drunk guy

The place where I work, which I talked about in another thread, is about 10 miles from my house, and its located in Peoria, Illinois. Just like any large city (peoria isnt HUGE, but over 100,000 people), there are good parts of town and bad parts of town. My workplace isnt exactly in the best part of town...Its not in the worst I wouldnt say either, just not exactly the best. Anywho, across the street from where I work there is always a guy or 2 sitting on their porch drinking beer. Sometimes as we're walking from out cars into the building they yell stuff at us...usually you cant understand what they say. Anywho, today a bunch of us took our break at 11 like we usually do, we stand right outside the door, and the guy was on his porch across the street drinking. He didnt yell at us, probably because there were like 8 or 9 of us out there, he was probably scared we would beat him up. So after we were out there a few mins we notice the guy standing up on his porch just staring at us. So another kid out there decided to have a stare off with this guy, and he walked up a few feet to where he was plainly visible to the guy across the street, and just stood there and stared at him. Just so you can get the picture, this guys house is across the street AND across the parking lot...which isnt exactly huge, but all in all we were probably 150-200 feet away from this guy. Anywho during the stare off the guy puts his hand near his head almost like he was saluting or something. So the kid challenging him did the same. After a few mins of this, another guy from inside the house came outside and distracted the guy, and they eventually walked down the street, at which point the kid who was having the stare off contest(by this point he had retreated back near the building) made a crazy bird sound to try to piss the guys off I guess. They started digging a hole or something and seemed to ignore him. Anyways morale of the story is drunk guys who sit on their porch all day drinking beer are damn funny somtimes. It should be interesting what happens tomorrow when we take our usually break at 11. If anything interesting happens, I will be sure to reply to this topic telling you guys about it.

If i was drunk, and a kid made a bird sound at me, i would totally dig a hole.

Okay so to update you guys:

Today We went outside for our break at 11, and they guy was out there as usual. We ignored him, he ignored us. Nothing really happened. Later on after lunch a few of us decieded to go out before we had to get back to work. We went out and started discussing him. Of course he couldnt hear what we were saying, but one kid pointed in his direction several times(not trying to piss him off or anything, just trying to point something out), but this eventually provoked him. He got up and started staring. We of course started laughing like crazy. He yelled something at us from his portch, and the one kid that likes to provoke him made a few bird noises. He then got up and walked down off his portch to his left down the sidewalk. Next to his house there is an alley, which is basically directly across from where we all were. He went into the alley, stopped right in the middle, and just stood there staring right at us for probably upwards of 5 minutes. He stood with his hands behind his back. A few minutes later he started walking very slowly back towards his house, and which point he yelled something and pointed at one kid who just happened to be walking out to his car. The kid was smoking, and pointed his ciggarete back at the guy. Then the drunk guy put his hands down toward his pants like he was going to pop somthing out we all had no desire to see. Instead he just kinda lifted up his shirt real quick like. He then walked over behind a truck that is parked on the street in front of his house, leaned on it facing us, and just stared at us from there for another 5 minutes probably. He eventually went back up to his porch, where his buddy had been sitting the whole time, and that was the end of it. We of course were laughing like bloody murder through this whole thing. The funny thing is this other guy on the portch just sits there like nothing is going on out of the usual, like that guy didnt just do something totally crazy. They are both absolute nutcases, but I couldnt imagine anything more funny at the moment. Its only the 3rd day of Summer, I cant imagine what he might be doing a month or so from now if this kinda stuff continues every day. I will of course keep you guys posted.

[GameMaster]

Oh, man Jason this is so funny, I'm literally chuckling softly to myself. You have to promise me that you'll update this thread everytime you guys have an encounter with the drunk. And maybe some day you guys could sneak a picture of him. Can't wait to hear more! +rep for entertaining story! :)

Sneaking a picture actually shouldnt be all that hard...I should be able to do it, I just havent gotten around to it yet. Im glad you find it amusing. Another funny thing about this guy is that every day he gets in some wierd outfit, looks like something that he would go to work in or something, but he never goes anywhere. Just sits on his porch.

Today he was out yet again. He was out during break, but the real fun started after lunch. There were probably 5 or 6 of us out there, minding our own busniess, when he yelled something from his usual spot on the porch. It was uncomprehensible, like usual. The kid that likes to egg him on made his usual bird call to the guy, and he then stood up and stared, while he had his one hand near his head, almost like he is saluting(hes done this before). He didnt hold that position for long, until he was yelling again...this time he seemed to target a specific one of us, because he was pointing and the kid that likes to egg us on pointed at his younger brother, who seemed to be the target. You still couldnt get much of what he was saying though. A couple of the guys started yelling jibberish back to him, which was histarically funny. Soon it started to rain, so we kinda ducked under the edge of the building. He then walked to the side of his porch almost like he was looking for something, came up with nothing, then walked back up to his usual chair on his porch and gave us all the thumbs down. We all gave him thumbs up. Then the cable guy pulled up, and what followed looked to me like the cable guy trying to explain something to the guy, and the cable guy getting frustrated, and the crazy guy pointing up at his satellite dish several times. It was then time for us to go inside so thats where it ended. When me and another kid left for home a few hours later, he yelled stuff at us yet again, again un-comprehensible. As we drove by his house he yelled some more. I will probably take my camera to work tomorrow to try to get a picture for you guys.

I like these adventures involving the crazy drunk man. Have you considered publishing all of these stories into a book? Maybe you could do some illistrations.

Yea, maybe I will make a book out of these sometime down the road. But there's probably many many stories still ahead, so Im nowhere near ready to do something like that. I should start putting dates on my entry's.

[GameMaster]

LOL, again, another hilarious adventure. I can't wait to see his picture. It was also funny how the cable guy reacted to his craziness. :lol:

[Typhoid]

Indeed the hilarity emits.....

PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE. I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE PICTURE!

Today after lunch he was out again. Not long after several of us got out there, he stood up and stared, as if waiting, beckoning for a retaliation from us. Sure enough that one kid that loves to egg him on made his usual bird call, and the guy sat down, as if thats all he got up for. Not much happened for a few minutes, then he started yelling again. He yelled something that was really short, just one word, not sure what it was. Immediatley after hearing this the usual co-worker yelled something really quick back at him, then the drunk guy yelled it again, then the co-worker again, and they went on like this for probably 30 seconds, both yelling things that werent words. He started yelling some more and the same kid made his bird calls, this time doing a dance along with them, where he squatted and flapped his arms.

As I was going out to my car at the end of they day, he yelled something at me, and I kinda understood some of it. It definatley had something to do with beer, he either wanted to sell me some beer or give me a beer or possibly he wanted beer from me. I wouldnt attempt a guess as to which it actually was.

I did get a picture today as I was driving by after work. Now I took it while in my car while driving, so I didnt exactly get him centered, and it isnt as clear as it could be, but I'll try for a better one tomorrow. In the picture you can clearly see the guys house and porch. That yellow tape out front is around some large hole, I assume the city was doing some pipe work or something. The Drunk man is on the left side of the porch, wearing his usual blue work outfit and blue hat. The guy next to him is his buddy who just sits there most of the time, never gets up or anything through all of these incidents. Near the right of the picture you can see the start of the alley where he stood and stared at us, as talked about in the 6/3/04 entry. If you look very closely near the tree on the front right of the house, you can see his satellite dish just barely through the trees, mounted on the side of his house. Last but not least, if you look in my rearview mirror, you can see the roof of the building where I work, very near that roof is where we take our breaks outside, just a little to the right.

[Typhoid]

Nice....um.....who gets drunk during the day....besides my parents...and maybe hes just crazy and in one of thoes providalbe crazy-guy homes...or maybe hes an alcoholic..who knows...

[GameMaster]

The picture looks similar to how I imagined it. It's funny how they hang out there on their little porch. I wonder how long they stay out there. Great picture. :D

[Happydude]

man...u really need to take a video of this one day...

[Typhoid]

I think you should walk up to him one day and pretend to apologize, and right when he is at his worst, snap a picture and run away. Then we all get a closeup. :D :D :D

I mean, hes drunk...not like hes gonna follow you in the correct direction.

[Dylflon]

I like this drunk guy. He must fill your breaks with wonder and whimsey.

[Jason1]

We always talk about what would happen if he actually ever aproached us. We all agreed we would beat his ass into eternity.

[Seth]

I'd be worried about the state of my car. That guy could easily take a key to it when you guys are working.

Funny stuff Jason.

+rep

[Dylflon]

Why would you beat him up? That's not cool. Violence is for squares. It would be funnier if you acted like you were all his buddies.

Hes a little testy about beating people up for no reason because he got jumped one night when we were walking back from 7/11. I agree, i dont like people who think its fun to beat other people up, unless they did something, like key your car.

[Ginkasa]

Why? 'Cause you can? It's one thing to make fun of his drunkness (his fault), but it's quite another to beat the **** out of him for no reason.

Moral dilemmas aside, you could get jail time on assault if you did that. I doubt it's worth it.

Assuming, of course, that he only approaches you and does some rude gestures or something. If he physically attacks, then you have every right to fight back.

[/end "think before you act" rant...thing]


*shrugs and walks away*

[Jason1]

Okay lets set the record straight on this right now. First off, all admit he has never done anything but verbal abuse. (well, also the ocassional obscene guesture) But even so, his verbal abuse is always unprovoked. In other words, he always starts our little fights. We just go out there, and he instantly gets up and stares at us or just starts yelling. In the rare case that he dosent, we dont start anything with him. He has called many of us names, such as waffle bitch. He has made many unapropriate guestures to us, and if he ever actually comes across the street into to parking lot, and gets close to us, I think from past knowledge of this nut, we would have little choice but to hurt him.

[Ginkasa]

Unless he actually attacks you pr threatens to attack you first, its assault and you can get slammed into jail for it regardless of whether he starts your little name calling sessions or not.

And even if he does attack you first, it'll be just him against however many guys you eat with. One drunk guy against many isn't much of a threat. I doubt you'll be supported much if the guys ends up in a puddle of bloods crying for his mom while the rest of you laugh at him.

Which is exactly why he wont ever approach us anyways. Even this guy I dont think is stupid enough to take on 5 or more guys by himself.

[Dylflon]

I eagerly await your next update, Waffle bitch. :p

[TheSlyMoogle]

I'm waiting for the day when he moons you guys.

He sounds about like every old man I know in Eastern Kentucky, I bet that's where he is from! I also bet he's an old man.

You should go up and talk to him. Be like "Hey man, why do you yell crazy stuff at us, and can I have a beer?"

[Jason1]

This is not really an update, because nothing interesting happened on friday. But I did get a little better picture of the guy and his house. Thats him sitting on his porch, and you can get a better view of his house, and also the distance he is away from our building (I am zoomed in somewhat)

[Typhoid]

I especially like the caution tape fence.

After not seeing him for probably close to 2 weeks, we were begining to speculate on his whereabouts. Our breaks werent quite the same without him. We though maybe he actually went to work, or he was in jail(much more likley). Funny thing is, the one kid that likes to egg him on, has been gone for over a week. Its interesting the day that he comes back, so does crazy(thats his new nickname). We went out after lunch, and there he was. He see's us, and instantly gets up and stares for awhile. After a few bird calls from you know who, he sat back down, and nothing more really happened. Some guy came walking by on the sidewalk, and he stopped at Crazy's house and talked to him for awhile. Not sure if they knew each other or what. On a side note, a few of the guys got to talking about an incident that happened a few weeks ago, apparently. Only 3 or so of them happened to be out at the time. What apparently happened was, Crazy got on his bike which he sometimes rides to go buy beer, and came riding their way. One of the guys was leaning aginst a car, and Crazy came riding his bike right for him. The other two guys were just telling him not to move, I assume so they had an excuse to beat him badly if he hit the guy. He apparently swerved at the very last second, just barely missing the guy leaning aginst the car. And the kid that almost got hit was apparently pretty shaken up about the whole thing. I wish I could get a picture of this guy up close, but let me tell you, when you see him up close, its actually somewhat scary. Hes a downright freaky looking guy. Big bulging eyes, and that beard. Anyways, Im going to be gone for over a week, so I'll just ask everyone if anything interesting happened with Crazy when I get back.

[Happydude]

DAMN IT! ask your friends to post here!!! lol! this is the only blog i read!

7/7/04

After getting back after the long vacation, Crazy was still his usual self I found out. After lunch he was out and looked over our way, a few bird calls were made, and he retreated back inside his house. He was out again a few minutes later. He got on his bike like he or one of his buddy's often does to go get beer(red dog beer only, mind you) and started riding our way. They usually go right past us when they do this, in the ally right next to our building. But usually its not crazy himself who does the beer runs, more often than not its one of his buddies. Anyways it happened to be Crazy himself today. He rode our way, and as he passed, one of the guys said in a friendly voice "Whats up" as he passed. He just kept on riding by, just barely even turning his head to look at us. Right after he rode by, he goes between our building and the building right next to ours, in the alley. As soon as he was in the Alley the usual kid made his bird call, louder than ever. Crazy rode his bike off to the side towards the building across from ours in the alley, stopped his bike, and leaned against the wall while still on his bike. He was probably about 30-40 feet away from us where he stopped. He had his back toward us, and he slowly put his left hand in towards his chest, like he was about to pull a gun out. This made a few of us retreat a short distance to get out of his way. He never did pull anything out though, he just kept went on again, riding off into the distance. And thats all. Of course, I will keep you guys updated. Stay tuned.

[Dylflon]

Hmm...perhaps we should make a motion picture based on your adventures with the drunk guy. I would direct of course.

[GameMaster]

Wow, Crazy made a threat, kind of scary but thank goodness nothing came of it. Can't wait to hear more!

After not haveing much to report from our old pal crazy for a couple of weeks, today made up for it...in a BIG way. Over the past feew weeks hes rarely been spotted, and even when he is, the encounters have been brief, not even worth updating over. Anyways we have learned that he was in vietnam. At least we're pretty sure of it, because one day when I wasnt there, he apparently was talking about guns and the war and stuff like that. Anywho, today we went out after lunch, and saw a few people on his portch. A guy in a white tanktop, a girl, and some other guy that appeared to be grilling or something just off the portch. Anywho, after much discussion, we finally deemed the man on the porch to actually be Crazy himself, but he was different. He shaved his beard, and he wasnt wearing his usual Navy Blue uniform. Sadly the kid that likes to annoy Crazy quit a few days ago, but today another kid filled in pretty good for him. Anyways after sitting out there for a few minutes, the girl sitting next to crazy on the portch waved at us. We of course waved back. Then he got up, did a sort of sexy dance like thing, and said "if youve got it, show it baby!" This was insanely halarious, to be sure. Some of the guys kinda yelled accordingly, and then she montioned with her shirt like she was going to flash us. She did this several times, with a few of the guys hollaring at her, and some of us just laughing histarically. Then she actually did it. Flashed us. Thank god we were pretty far away, and couldnt really see how ugly she probably was. We all were pretty shocked, but man, was it funny. She flashed us 3 times, and during this time Crazy was sitting next to her the whole time, and he yelled a few things during the whole ordeal, something about "Al Quieda Waffle boys" And he also said that the girl was his sister. This made us really roar when we heard that one. Anyways, during these flashes, one of the guys yelled at her a few times to show us your...I probably cant say it here, so I wont. But you can imagine. She didnt end up showing us this, but she did moon us, which was pretty disgusting and halarious. A miscommunication, perhaps? Anywho, after the mooning incident a 2 more guys came out, and sure enough after a little yelling, she flashed us one last time.

Funny stuff indeed.

[Dylflon]

It's nice to hear that the crazy man is doing well.

[GameMaster]

Why'd he have to clean himself up? :( I liked him when he was messy and dirty. Oh well, glad to hear he's becoming active again during your breaks. And the addition of his sister should spark things up.
