I met a group of gals for lunch today at a local Firehouse subs. As we sat on the outdoor patio, I noticed this man far down the shopping strip coming out of a grocery store. He had on baggy pants, shirt, baggy jacket and scraggly hair. He was only carrying a jug of orange juice.
As we ate, I watched as the man would take a swig of juice, set the jug down on the sidewalk before him, and do this repeated pattern of brushing his pant legs, scratching his knees, and repeatedly brushing the sidewalk with his hands. Then he would pick up the jug and continue walking.
Everyone was staring of course trying to figure out what was going on. I put down my sandwich. I watched as the man got closer, and he actually stopped near out table and did the whole thing over again. Everyone could only stare as he continues ALL the way down the sidewalk continuing to do that while whispering to himself.
Do you think that was OCD? Should someone have called the cops or someone to help him?
