He did each cleaning job within 30 seconds of it happening, it was bizarre. We decided to ahve a little fun with him - we started throwing pancakes on the windows and sticking our food everywhere and smearing syrup all over the table (I know, I know, but we were drunk)...He didn't say a word, he just ran over and with furious vigor, he clean those spots like it was a freakin' hosptial. I'm pretty sure he was mentally handicapped, but it was funny nonetheless!

Wow, yeah, exploiting people for your own amusement, I tells ya, there's nothing like it!

Hmmm, was this guy Asian? I don't remember which Denny's it was - whether it was 16th ave NW or the one on Macleod, because it was a few years ago, but there was this nerdy looking Asian guy and he would clear and set a table within like 20 seconds and worked like a machine. Sometmies I wondered if he just did this to create a spectacle of himself, because everyone would stop eating just to watch this.

I have homeless-looking people ask me for gum on the C-train all teh time. i guess I look like too poor of a college student to have change. I always have gum though.

I've been there... but every time I go its at like the morning around 7:00... and since you guys were drunk, it was at night I'm guessing... Anyway, I got there once in a while, I'll keep an eye out for the guy if I ever go at night time.

That's who I was thinking of while reading that story too!
Crazy Asian dude at the Denny's across from McMahon Stadium - I swore that guy was on some good speed/crack at how fast he was at clearing tables! That Denny's was our drunken destination of choice every weekend just to watch the show!

It's Easter for this thread!

I'm bringing it back to life because the guy I mentioned in this thread I ran into today. He told me not to go to McDonalds for lunch because they kicked him out and he didn't think it was right. He was getting in my way and kept asking if I was going in there. I said that I was still going to go in but I promised him I wouldn't go there tomorrow.

My funny people story is when I went to go see my best friend in Vernon, BC during the Canada day weekend in 2005.

We went to Funtastic which is just an excuse for people to drink large amount of Budweiser at the beer gardens, do lots and lots of drugs and listen crappy cover bads for 3 days.

So anyways we are all pretty hammered with a large group of friends and we heading home. My friends bump into one guy by accident on the way out.

This angers drunk dumb teenager and he and about 5 of his friends go outside to confront my buddys group. The guy that got bumber into starts yelling and pulls out a swiss army knife in my friends face. My friend apologizes and the guy is still sticking his boy scout issue pocket knife in my friends face. This ****es off my friend and before I know he is cocking his fist back at swiss army knife man. The fist connects with such beauty to his face and the boy scout is laid out with one hit.

A couple of the knife waving guys friends show up and and try to make it a bigger fight. This is when another one of my friends from Vernon runs out and lands a flying drop kick right to the back of the pocket knife buddys friend.

Its all over pretty fast and the guys just leave. When people apologize for accidently bumping to you its proably best you accept when you are too drunk to know what you are doing. There was some cops about 50 feet away but they seemed to busy checking out girls to care.

kid comes in at work and asks for smokes, didn't have id..."i'll sell you some ecstasy if you sell me smokes!"

I knows this guy. He has a brother. I knows his brother too. His brother is a little bit crazy. One night, while getting drunk with some friends he decided that he didn't want to go to work the next day. So, he asks his friend to stab him... yes, he asks his friend to stab him. Now I don't remember what happens next. Either he bandaged it up and continued drinking or he went to the hospital to get it taken care of (the former, I think). Either way, he decided to go to work the next morning anyway.

I know of another poster on here that knows the guy I know (not the one who wanted to get stabbed, but he probably knows both of them). I just don't know this other posters name. Perhaps if you are reading this and know more of the story, you can share.

This one is from a while ago.

I was on the bus home when I was probably 13 or 14 with a friend. From behind us, this extremely sketchy dude goes "pssst....hey". We turn around. He's got some empty black garbage bags with him. "Do you kids wanna see some dead bodies?"

We're like "uh...not really?"

"You kids like corpses?"

We've probably got a deer-in-the-headlights thing goin' on.

"You should take anatomy in school. You get to cut up dead bodies!" He's really enthusiastic about it.

I remember getting off that bus as soon as we possibly could.
