Strange habits of a homeless man

    Everyday on my way to work I cross the harp bridge down the docks end of the city. Pretty much every day there is the same homeless man sitting in the middle of the bridge. I assume he is looking for change but he never asks so I guess he could be there for other reasons.

    Sometimes when I pass him he is sitting there with a sleeping bag over his lap pulling the chip off himself. WHO DOES THAT! Initially I thought I was just being dirty minded and he could have been doing anything under the sleeping bag, but walking past today the sleeping bag had slipped a little to reveal his side where you could see his pants were clearly pulled down a little while he was furiously pulling away at himself.

    Fair enough homeless guys have urges too, but why go to an incredibly busy bridge at rush hour to do it!?!?

    It's a homeless thing, you wouldn't understand.


  • Registered Users Posts: 562 ✭✭✭jay1988


    If that's where he sleeps then that's his bedroom its perfectly normal for someone to **** in his bedroom ;-)

    Pulling the chip off himself. That's a new one, well to me anyway!

    Plenty of good looking women walking to work around that area - in this modern age we tend to forget what life is like without internet.

    Absolutely right. In fact, it's a bit rude on the part of the OP to walk right into the fella's bedroom like that.

    Seriously though, I can't wait for **** in public to become socially acceptable. How often have you had the urge when you're out for the day and can't do anything about it? Nothing worse. This guy could be a revolutionary.

    Has he ever eyeballed you as you go by.

    Some people Say "morning", he just tugs...

    Different strokes for different blokes....:pac:

    I could understand the 'it's his bedroom theory', but that bridge is always freezing by day, the wind would cut you in two. I can only imagine how cold it is by night. Why would anybody choose to sleep there instead of the many other nooks and crannies around the city. Seems a bit mental.

    At a wild guess - mental illness?

    Maybe he's been moved on from all the other nooks and crannies. Right there its an en-suite bedroom, plus Id say he gets a fair bit of change from passers by.

    Ha! He sits in the middle of the bridge, so you are walking uphill towards him for a bit, hard to miss. Plus you have to see it first before you know to look away. :o

    Perhaps its the same man, perhaps not:

    I was driving to work, passing the customs house early on monday morning,

    There was a person wrapped up in a sleeping bag in behind the fence at one of the alcoves.

    They had the bag closed up, covering head etc, and he was only ripping the handle off himself... legs were bouncing and all.,.. odd to see, but where else would ye do it??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,791 ✭✭✭JJJJNR


    Its probably a stress relief, poor guy don't think its one bit funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    He could be rubbing two sticks together to try and start a fire

    Are you sure he wasn't having an epileptic fit? You should have got out and checked on his welfare :)

    Masturbate is such a boring word though, I prefer belly boxing me self.

    hes just keeping warm. I remember hearing a story from where i live of a guy known to be a total perv who would go to the hairdresser and while he got his haircut he would whack off. hes barred out of a lot of business for the same reason.

    This is the most likely scenario if you ask me.
    Nobody likes **** in the cold.
