re: Soooo a guy is passed out in a neighbors yard and it's not the neighbor

For 250k you get cookie cutter homes here in Lafayette, filled with frick boys and truck nuts.

Hopefully I didn't cost him some serious money over too much to drink.

I wonder if its like calling animal control. When the owner isnt found or cant pay, they invoice the person that called.

I'm waiting on the OP's neighbor to ask him if anyone has seen his brother who was supposed to arrive last night.

Ambulance just took him off. He could barely stand when they got to him. No stretcher but just put him in the back. Hopefully I didn't cost him some serious money over too much to drink. Still don't really know what's up. Ambulance guy wouldn't tell me anything.

You may have saved his life.

I came home one evening to find a guy passed out in his truck in my back yard. I called the cops and they had a missing person report on him by his wife (I gave them the description of his truck).

Turns out he was diabetic and had an automatic insulin pump. He had skipped lunch that day and was in a diabetic coma. EMS came, put an IV in him with glucose water and he came to in about 5 minutes. An hour or so longer without help and he may have died.

Yikes.

But in reality, there is a 99.99% chance this dude was fine and just shithoused. Not saying what you did was wrong, this shite is on him, you had to make sure it wasn't the .01% chance he was dying.

Did he look like a homeless or impoverished person, or was he a country club dad?

I've passed out in a yard or two in college. Obviously being 40/50 years old is weirder

Shithoused on a Monday night?!

I think an intervention is in order then.

He was driving a fairly clean pick-up truck with large tool boxes built into the bed of the truck. It turned out that he was a home builder contractor who had several houses being built in the area which kept him so busy he forgot to eat lunch that day.

Frankly I thought the guy was a junkie who had OD'd because when I knocked on his window, he woke up for about 15 seconds and had a really crazy, wild-eyed look and started screaming at me but what he was screaming wasn't words. More like an animal shrieking. He started his truck and it rolled about 20 feet and hit an oak tree in my back yard. Then he passed out again on the steering wheel.

That's when I called the cops.

Sorry, I was directing that at the OP.

But that is nuts.

No worries. I thought since you had quoted my post that you were asking me.

The rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say, is the poor guy lived about a half mile from me and he was trying to get home to get something to eat when the insulin overload made him incoherent.

His wife had talked to him on his cell phone about 5:30 PM (we came home and found him in our back yard about 9:00 PM) and he was not making sense when she talked to him. She knew what was happening so when he didn't make it home within a few minutes, she called the police and put out a missing person's report on him and told them about his diabetic condition.

Unfortunately, because he was in our back yard, the police patrolling the area looking for him couldn't see his truck from the street.

Own it.
Say something like, " I obviously don't live amongst you poors."

ETA: Though at $250K, you obviously do.

Hey everyone this fricking guy is still around, look at him
