The Chiefsplanet Peoplewatching Thread

[Rain Man]

I had lunch at Arby's and got an exciting double-peoplewatching event.

First, there was a homeless guy in line in front of me. I was standing in line minding my own business, and all of a sudden I heard the guy say, "What the f*** are you looking at?" The homeless guy had taken exception to some computer nerdy guy who was waiting for his food, and I guess he thought the nerdy guy was staring at him. He made a threatening move at the nerdy guy, but then stopped and backed off before a fight started.

He then asked for a glass of water at the counter and Arby's told him he'd have to buy it. I wondered if he'd try to fight the Arby's guy, but he just left.

The more interesting sighting was a guy who was eating in the Arby's. He was obviously homeless, too, and he was having a rather animated conversation with an invisible person sitting across from him. As I passed by, I noticed that he had no fewer than six Bibles spread out on the table in front of him, all open. I think he may have been comparing versions or something, which isn't necessarily crazy, but it made for an interesting sight.
