When I got into work this morning, Mel, one of my coworkers, told me she had a "sighting" today as she walked down 6th Avenue. She said she saw this man, who looked normal as can be ... other than the rubber Batman mask he was wearing. She said he had on a pair of sweatpants and a normal looking tee, with a pair of normal sneakers. Everything looked normal, besides the mask. She wondered if she was the only one who got to see the freakish side of NYC. We all laughed our asses off at that.
This got everyone else in the office talking about their own "sightings" around the City. One person remembered going out for lunch, and crossing 6th Avenue ... into a crowd of female impersonators. She turned (in the middle of the street) in confusion, only to see the camera crew setting up a shot for a movie they were filming at the Limelight (an infamous, now-closed nightclub).
Another told of a lady, who again looked normal, walking into the middle of the road ... and lying down under a traffic light ... stopping NYC traffic, which of course just isn't acceptable. (LOL) I got to tell them all about the man I (unfortunately) witnessed pulling down his pants and taking a shit on the sidewalk on West 22nd Street in the pouring rain. Yeah, gross barely covers it!
So now I'm wondering if these happen mostly in NYC, or if any of you out there can tell us similar horror stories of your own. Come on, cheer me up by letting me know there are others out there suffering the weirdos of the world.
