The Crazy Adventures of a PG&E Worker

Okay, I have a funny but sad story. Brad called me from work tonight saying he just had an interesting thing happen, he said he was in a bad area of town and he was going on the on ramp to the freeway when he spotted a girl walking as if she was going to walk up onto the freeway, well, she was buck naked! Brad said he stopped but didn't want to get out, so he called 911, the 911 operator was hesitant on believing that this call was legit but then after some persuasion she said keep an eye on her, don't get out of your car but put your head lights on her so people will see her and not hit her. Brad said okay but he said he put his spot light on the ground near her not right on her! She started to walk toward the freeway so Brad yelled out the window, No stop! The girl turned and yelled go away! Then the girl sat down in the dirt and started rolling around in the dirt! A guy in a lexus drove by and stopped, got out of his car and walked toward the girl, he then threw a t-shirt at her and drove away! By this time another lady drove up next to Brad and said did you call the police Brad said yes, but it has been 10 minutes so far. So the lady called 911 too. Then she left, leaving Brad to deal with the naked lady. Finally (after 30 minutes!!!) the police showed up and took a statement from Brad and then let him go off to finish his work. When Brad called his work to tell them why he wasn't finishing his work they just laughed at him! I hope the girl is fine, and maybe she was drunk. I hope she wasn't out there because something bad happened to her! My sister Becky says Brad should write a book about all the crazy things he has come across while working. He has had so many crazy things happen, that it would take me a couple of days to write all about them. There is never a dull moment with Brad!

This is sooo familiar - my dad used to come home with the craziest stuff from his day driving a pg&e truck ! (of course with my dad we always figured that he embellished just a bit - but maybe not. There are some crazy people out there !) John comes home with some equally looney stuff from WalMart. It all makes me thankful that I'm just here at home with little crazies !

This happened to me when I was very pregnant with Jillian! I was pulling into the condos for elderly folks where my grandma lives and there was a young woman walking into the complex completely nude. My grandma was standing out in front waiting for me to pick her up, so I put her right into the car and locked the doors. Then, I took the sheet out of the back that I usually make the dog lay on (poor girl) and wrapped her up in it until the police came. In the meantime, her case workers came and explained that she is mentally ill and had walked from her apartment down the street where they were "supervising" her and had been stripping her clothes off the while she walked!! Thankfully, they had gone along and collected her clothing. Unfortunately, she wouldn't put it back on and kept flashing the police officers when they were trying to talk to her! My grandma and I got out of there as fast as we could!

Whoa, what a story. Poor girl and poor Brad for having to watch her go nutso. She's lucky he was there to keep her safe.
