Describe unbelievably loony or just odd or strange personalities you have met.

Does myself count?

In the building I lived in a few moves ago, there was a transsexual woman who lived in the corner flat. She was an older woman, not sure how old as it was difficult to tell. She was a drag queen, was terminal with AIDS, completely out of her mind with the dementia, was a meth junkie and made money as a meth dealer. She had spent most of her life in jail for murder, and the people who lived in the building gossiped that she did it in a contract fashion, and that she had killed others, just only been caught for the one. While I lived there she was arrested a few times, especially when the meth kitchen down the block who supplied her got raided and the whole street was a crime scene for days.
She also threw one of her customers down the stairs one time, screaming that if he ever came back she'd kill him.
I had no problems with her.

A female bus-driver I know. She's the most eccentric person I've ever met. I heard she has Bipolar. But she still fascinates me, because she is so strange yet so popular. Regular passengers love her, men flirt with her, and she just seems to draw people to her, even though she's very socially awkward.

Back in my other city I lived in, the roommate I once lived with had a social circle of artists and musicians, and they all seemed to worship this one artist guy. His name was something incredibly generic like "John Smith" and whenever anyone talked about him, they didn't just say "yeah John's coming over later," they always said his full name. "John Smith's coming over later."

He was very laid back, taciturn, even. Never said much. But his art was demented.

This guy's house was filled with junk -- like literally old baby buggies rusted out, car parts, etc. To him it was art. He also had mutilated dolls everywhere.

Baby doll heads with punk makeup on and mohawk haircuts hanging up all over.

His cat sadly got run over and killed outside on his street. His street was a steep hill you could see from the main drag at the bottom, and he painted in white on the tarmac "You killed my cat you sonofabitch" or something to that effect.

That lettering was on that street for YEARS! Very eccentric artist dude who made his whole house this gallery to found-junk art.

I'm unbelievably looney!

But you've met me on WP (if not in person!)

I was once called "bizarre" by an English teacher, who then threw a dictionary-sized book at me.

You notice I bring out the best in people, right?

There have been times when I in fact have thrown a dictionary sized book at you too -- well not really, that would break my laptop screen!

You have an advantage over me....you can bomb me from the air!

I would say this very nice women.....who would dress in paisley designs, and show up three hours late every time we had to meet.

She was really very nice....but scattered in the extreme! And the looney clothes!

There was also this guy, back in 1977, who went around Times Square caressing a banana.

A little paisley is quite nice...though not in every item worn!

There used to be a guy who walked up and down London's Oxford street during the 1980s, wearing one of those sandwich boards, with the words "The end of the world is nigh!" on it. He was there patrolling around so regularly he was almost part of the tourist attractions, lol.

My x boss Rick, he'd have this sinister grin at all times and has hundreds of guns in his basement..
Always worried me lol .... people didn't quit tho.. I mean I did but I moved across the country after
