Yesterday at work, we had a lunch meeting. The food was set up in the conference room like usual. One of the brokers was fixing his plate when he noticed a homeless man staring at him thru the huge picture window. Feeling uncomfortable, the broker gave the man a nervous little wave. Apparently the man took that gesture as an invitation because he then came inside, fixed himself a plate and left. I have to add at this point, that this all happened while I was at lunch.
So, okay, we did a nice thing by accident. About 20 minutes after I came back from lunch, this same man came back for 2nds. He just walked right past my window making a beeline for the food. I stopped him though.
"Sir, can I help you?"
"No. You can't help me. I just walked in"
"Sir, you need to just walk right back out"
He meandered and dawdled in the general direction of the exit. Then he started heading towards the back of the office.
"Sir, you need to leave the office. You need to leave now." He finally complied.
Later in the afternoon, one of the girls that sits in the back of the office asked me if the man had come back a 3rd time because he was standing outside the picture windows back there, staring in. That creeped me out a little.

That would creep me out too. I work in a crack-whore neighborhood. Less than a block from here they cordoned off an area for a suspicious package at the 7-11. We get lots of unusual people pass through.
Eeks, good for you though !
