The Eccentric Neighbor

I have this neighbor that most of my other neighbors consider a bit eccentric. He lives in his sister's basement and never really make eye contact with anyone. He also says things that most people would consider unwarranted and rude.

The first couple of times he spoke to me I made a mental note to keep my child really far away from him. Now that I have known him for a while I have become convinced that he has Aspberger's Syndrome. He is way too socially inappropriate not to.

For example:
This morning I was walking up my driveway and he gave a little wave from across the street and yelled, "Hey Nadine, you are getting fat again".

Seriously people, who says that? I laughed (because A. it's true and, B. it was funny because it was so unexpected) but the other people out on the street did not. He is a very nice man once you get over the fact that he is wayyyyyy different from anyone else you know.
