Posted by "Patricia" on my local "Nextdoor" app....

Today around 7:30 pm I was followed by a man with his pans down. He run after me 2 blocks until a Uber driver helped me .

(and no, Meade. It wasn't me)

I wanna meet the man who can run with his pants down!

[MajGenl.Meade]

I never once thought of you as an Uber driver, Joe

[Burning Petard]

Pants down? I read the lead post in this thread and I visualize a male type person running down a street, with a cluster of cooking pans rattling behind him. But either way, I too think it is funny.

Then there was this post by "Blanca" in a thread regarding whether or not to answer your front door to solicitors....

It’s better than answer the door one of my customers didn’t and they when in to the house and she got robed.

[Burning Petard]

Sounds to me as tho the neighbor was the one soliciting.

There was a schoolboy joke back in THOSE days. Something about Confucius claiming that a certain crime was impossible because someone with skirt up could always outrun a man with trousers down. But I won't repeat it - not these days.

[Joe Guy]

btw Meade - about the Uber joke. Ha ha!

Another post in the Solicitor thread. This one from Jill.....

I run and have been followed a number of times by guys in vans. I always pull my paper spray out immediately. Seems to act as a deterrent.

Do they sell White Out in a spray bottle?

[Burning Petard]

It is paper spray. Harmless but effective. It produces a thin layer of opaque paper on what ever you target. Suddenly the van is covered in a layer of paper. The occupants must stop, get out, and peel off the paper. See! Modern non-lethal defense arsenal is always expanding. No longer does one need to depend on a spray of Formula 409 on the tires to cause the tires to have no traction. and slide hopelessly out of control. But one can always depend on the classics, such as shouting "I warn you, I know karate!"

That's ok. I am here to educate.
