bnoyesMemberWithin the last few weeks a co-worker of mine has been approached by a strange elderly man on two occasions near Admiral Way, once at the Starbucks and once at the Metro Market. Both times it’s been in the parking lot. The man has knocked on her car window as she was about to drive away and asked if she was single, if she’d like to have someone to take her shopping, and other strange questions. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

KatherineLParticipantThere were some reports of this man and a discussion a while back. Does anyone know how to access that?

bnoyesMemberjwws,
Wow. That’s the guy. The car and man fits the description, as does the questions he asked. Creepy.

anonymeParticipantbnoyes, this is an off-thread, off-the-wall question, but did you happen to go to school in Michigan? Grosse Pointe to be exact?
October 20, 2011 at 10:55 pm #737649
jwwsParticipantAll I can suggest is if your friend can get the license plate number call the police and report him. If he’s reported enough perhaps the police will pay him a visit/get him the help he needs.

JiggersMemberThe dude is trying to pick her up now leave him alone. Elderly men want some sweet tang too..

bnoyesMemberI can’t say I’ve ever been to Michigan, anonyme.

diane2726ParticipantThis same man approched me outside of starbucks yesterday. (11:30 am)I thought he was pulling out of his parking space so I was waiting for his spot. I took another spot that became available before he left. Went to get my coffee..came out and he waved me over to his window. Asked me if I was mad at him for not leaving right away. He said he wanted to cut his finger nails before he left the parking lot. Asked me if I was in love, asked if I was married, what I did for work, if we did pretty well financially and if I had children. He asked me if I was willing to take him out to lunch that afternoon. He said that he lives in WS on Harbour Ave 50% of the time and in Florida 50% of the time (lic plate did say Florida). I just thought he was a lonley guy sitting in his car cutting his finger nails. He told me I was a sweet looking girl as I walked back to my car.
Told my husband about some odd old guy I met when I got home. Wish I got his plate number. He might be harmless..but one never knows. Its better to be safe then sorry… If I come across him again, I will get in touch with police..just for a FYI for them..

TDeParticipantMaybe some of the blog guys can watch for the Florida lic plate in the Starbucks or Met Market parking lots and have an advisory chat with the guy. The car shouldn’t be too hard to spot.
He might just be a lonely old man who doesn’t have good social graces and needs a little educating on how not to approach women. Let him know that his actions have caught the attention of a very public forum, that people all over West Seattle are watching and that it would be a shame if he ended up tangling with the police, because that’s where he’s heading.

JiggersMemberNo wonder why there are a lot of unhappy single people in Seattle. I hope the guy finds a girl. TDe..I’m not looking out for him and I don’t care. You make it sound like its a crime for old single men, maybe just men in general to approach women. Women wished they were approached more in this city. Stop the sensationalizing. You are going to get old too and maybe lonely so bachi on you.

bebecatMemberI’d of walked away the minute he talked of clipping his fingernails in the car. Like Weird :/

jwwsParticipantJIggers,
Really??Really??
.
There’s a right way and wrong way to go about things and this old geezer is not going about it the right way – he may be harmless but maybe not, maybe he’s suffering from some mental impairment – who knows but he is making enough women (single and married) uncomfortable enough for it to be commented on multiple times.
.
Would you feel the same way if some old octagenerian woman constantly followed you around repeatedly asking inappropraite questions? I think not.
October 21, 2011 at 3:24 pm #737657
JiggersMemberGo find something else to do…
October 21, 2011 at 3:35 pm #737658
bnoyesMemberHow old are you Jiggers? And what kind of car do you drive? I think we may have found our man.
October 21, 2011 at 4:10 pm #737659
jwwsParticipantJiggers,
I’d say the same to you – take your inappropriate comments and opinions elsewhere – your IQ is showing
October 21, 2011 at 4:48 pm #737660
KlauseMemberSounds like Jiggers might be our man. If not, I feel sorry for you Jiggers if this is the way you think and or like to pickup women. Sounds very Creepy to me. As a man, I don’t condone this type behavior and would never think of approaching women in this fashion. There are other ways for lonely old men to find girlfriends or they could just call Jiggers.
October 21, 2011 at 5:59 pm #737661
JiggersMemberI’m 13 what’s it to you?
October 21, 2011 at 7:31 pm #737662
2 Much WhineParticipantCh, ch, ch, chia Jiggers! http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=11&sid=563704

kootchmanMemberJesus H Jiggers… you know damn well it ya gotta buy a few drinks first…THEN pitch the woo. Maybe he should break out a bottle of MD 20/20 first, with a spare paper cup. Observe the niceties. Take a scenic drive around Seattle on Metro… ladies, the click of a pistol being cocked is the universal way of saying “no thank you” …

goodgracesParticipantHonestly, I keep reading these threads about this disturbed man frequenting the north Admiral area in hopes of finding out that he’s finally been apprehended. I’m shocked that he’s still wreaking havoc in women’s lives in our community! The guy’s not normal, has shown that to dozens of women over the last several months, is aggressive and threatening (if not in terms of physical violence, then in terms of personal physical space), intrusive, and out of touch with social mores. I find “Jiggers'” and others’ attempts at levity to be downright misogynistic.
NOT OK folks. This guy needs some serious mental health intervention and, failing that, some jail time. Please don’t minimize his aberrant behavior!
October 21, 2011 at 8:38 pm #737665
amaliaParticipantLet me guess, Jiggers…. you’re single.
October 21, 2011 at 8:53 pm #737666
kootchmanMember“Wrecking havoc”? By being a pest? Unless he does something threatening he isn’t going anywhere…the police can’t do a thing. Not being “normal” is not a criminal offense. Maybe a trespass offense IF the property owner gets a restraining order. Celebrate our diversity. You need to watch a video of a NYC Puerto Rican woman in action… you will have nary a second encounter!!!

JanSParticipantso, has anyone looked at this guy and simply said ” Go away and leave me alone”?
