The park weirdo

Was in Koff park with Anu and Elaine on Monday. At some point Anu and I went to the toilet and when we came back a guy was lying down next to Elaine and muttering to himself. This was funny because just before that we were talking about how she is a magnet for weirdos. She gave us a "what did I tell you" shrug.

The guy said that he just wants to sleep and does not want to hurt anyone. I wanted to point out that there was enough space to sleep in the park without coming within 50 centimeters from me, but did not.

The guy was about 60, and looked like he has never been sober during those 60 years at all.

We started talking and the guy took offence at the fact that we were speaking English - apparently he believed that we are doing so only to spite him. He whined for a while, demanded that we stop it, then rose and started walking around. Among other thing he growled that he has been abroad more than any of us (in the Deliriumtremensland, apparently) and that none of us has ever been abroad anyway.

Then he left, much to everyone's relief.
