Double post, but this is my thread, so you all are free to suck it up.
Had a best night walk ever.
As I was heading home, this guy with two beer bottles approached and asked if I could call an ambulance because he apparently was overdosed on pills, whilst also mentioning how people in the bar only laughed at him. I said no problem and walked us to a more secluded area with seats, listening to him cursing the other people as we walked. The call, however, wasn't successful because the receptionist stated that that's what these drunk people do, make the ambulance arrive so they could be taken to their needed location.
I then suggested hailing a taxi. As we were waiting I asked him more about the situation and he mentioned taking prescribed drugs. I wondered if it would be a good idea to have him get me some, but decided otherwise later when he showed signs of memory loss. Once the taxi arrived, he dismissed it, because he was sure he wouldn't be admitted to the hospital, thus would be forced to waste money on it twice, to get back. We had no other ideas, so consequently he decided to ask some people for money (I gave him spare change I had, but my wallet was empty otherwise). He then asked me if I could wait, to which I responded telling him that I can, and he went to an outside sitting area of a nearby restaurant.
People kept shoo'ing him off, so he slapped one of them over head and walked away, only having the guy stand up and kick him in his bum. He turned back but had his path blocked by the waiter. As he returned to me, he kicked the bus station, leaving a foot print but having the glass intact. This provoked a guy on the other side of the street and they engaged into a verbal fight "come here you [insult]" "no you come here [insult]", as I was standing there, turning my head form one to another. I felt very safe, but it hit me that it wouldn't hurt to take some safety measures since the man was lashing out a bit, so I held my chin with one hand, scratching facial hair, and held that hand, thus having my arms at front.
I then suggested going to the nearest bank. As we were footing I inquired more about his situation and it turned out that he was suffering from schizophrenia and was released out of a facility recently. After some extra cash was handed to him, he started deciding what to do as he'd rather spend the taxi fare on pills and food. So we sat on the pavement and I listened to him talking about going to some school at the 18th of May and mentioning how he was released earlier because his aunt is a member of the court, among some other things. Best part was him telling how he was isolated from everyone in the facility and was escorted by three men with guns for a haircut.
Basically, he needed a place to stay for the night and buy the pills the next day, once the drug store is open. He felt bad because he shouldn't have mixed the pills with alcohol.
I pondered about inviting him in, but declined the idea since I wouldn't want for such people to know where I live, so after a while I had to excuse myself, wish him luck and leave.
Mee, I think you're lonely.
