Right. So, pee guy.

This happened at the other Tim Horton's I worked at. I did a variety of jobs for that store; I was basically the guy who filled in wherever I was needed.

This particular night I was working the overnight shift. The store in question is right downtown, next door to a bar, down the street from a pool hall and a bit further down the street from three bars that are collectively known to be the seediest places in Oshawa.

The gentleman in question was a regular. He was suspected to be homeless and clearly had some mental issues. On the night in question, he was also very, very drunk. We didn't especially like dealing with him.

On this night he came in and started causing trouble. So, at the behest of the girl I was working with, I asked him to leave. He didn't put up too much of a fight, just walked out the front door.

The store I was working at had a front vestibule. The layout was such that we couldn't see the area directly beside either of the doors into the store, but we could see the area immediately outside the vestibule. So we knew if someone was in there, but couldn't see the interior of the vestibule itself.

Thus, we knew that when he walked out the door he was still in the vestibule. My co-worker was mopping the dining room, so she took a detour to kick him out of there. She poked her head into the vestibule, then ran back out. She immediately informed me that this charming gentleman was playing with himself in our vestibule.

Well, she was wrong. He wasn't playing with himself. He was urinating. When he finished, he sauntered out, calm as could be and began walking casually down the street.

I've no idea if the cops ever actually caught up with him. We called them all the same. After that, the task of cleaning the mess fell to me, unfortunately.

And thus the legend of pee guy was born.
