Posting in sightings 'cause even though it's at work, it's not one of our guests.
So next door to us is a chain restaurant that closed down. We've been keeping a close eye on it to make sure vandals and squatters stay away. We actually have the keys to the building to let contractors in, since the property manager is in California and has asked us to keep an eye on things.
Anyways, while working around the property today I saw a sight that I will need plenty of
to forget. For up against the old restaurant was a middle-aged, rather pudgy, white male (emphasis on the white!) wearing nothing but a skimpy black speedo! This is not someone who should be wearing a speedo! He had a red beach towel laid out, and was casually typing away on his laptop as he soaked up what few rays are shining today.
Keep in mind, we are in western Washington State, in February, not at all far from where the Winter Olympics are currently being held, and this guy's outside and mostly naked!
I'm supposed to report all trespassers over there to the proper authorities, so I had no choice but to report his winter tanning escapades to the police. I didn't really want to, since he wasn't really causing any harm, but Other MOD said I had to because we're supposed to report ALL trespassers over there, not just the vagrants and vandals. I did stay long enough to see the cops to give him a verbal warning (they stayed in their patrol vehicle, and gave the guy a pretty generous amount of space. I don't blame them.). The guy looked disappointed as he got dressed and drove off.
I'm familiar with people who tan in winter, and to each his own. But in a vacant restaurant parking lot? Really? I can think of a dozen other places in town that would be much more appropriate.
I suppose it could have been worse. He could have been totally naked.
