When I walked into work the other day, a co-worker greeted me with this: “did you see the man?!”

What man?

Oh. This man. He had, it turned out, followed her downtown and into our building. Followed her all the way from the Gateway transit center out in SE. Scared the crap outta her. She gave me the basic rundown when I first poked my head into the basement cubby where we work, and so I walked around the building and, lo, there he was: guy in a blue jacket and a cap with gray hair and a doll.

He was off his meds, I hear, and pretty severely retarded even when he’s not. He got picked up and taken to a medical facility after a lot of handwaving by our supervisor at building security. Strange morning. On the one hand, please do not stalk and scare the hell out of people. On the other, poor bastard.
