Jezus !
Last night I crashed around 8:00 PM, tired from an active day. I woke up at 3:00 AM disoriented and had too much energy to go back to sleep, so I decided to go for a walk. My neighborhood is an oasis from a rather bad part of town. It's is considered a hip place to live, quiet, fairly affluent. There's some petty crime and homelessness but I haven't had a major situation in the two years I have lived here (unlike my last place). So anyways, it's three in the morning and I'm walking down my street, I cut down a side avenue that leads to the main strip. As I'm walking along I notice a man in the shadows approaching. He appeared to have his shirt off, which didn't strike me as unusual because it was pretty hot out. Anyways, as he passes I can't help but notice that the guy is COMPLETELY BUTT NAKED ! Holy **** Batman ! We got a situation. So this naked guy, ding a ling swinging to and fro strolls right by cool as can be, expressionless. I was completely in shock. I played it off and walked by pretending it was no big deal but part of me was stressing over whether I was going to have to fight a naked man or run. AteaM runs from nobody, but this particular situation called for a different strategy. about 5 yards past I burst out laughing which upset the rather large naked guy. He turned and hissed at me ! Which provoked even more laughter hoping someone else was around to see this. Which, unfortunately, no one was.
Now this wasn't the first time I have seen public nudity, but the timing and the location completely threw me off. I was caught off guard and didn't know how to respond. "Was the guy just a pervert ? Like a flasher ?" I thought to myself, it was too strange an experience to accurately describe, but I definitely didn't respond fast enough. What would you have done ?
