Chez YT: the excitement never stops

So I came back from an errand early this evening and found three of my neighbours all standing around in a tizzy by the front door. Seems the girl upstairs encountered a flasher this afternoon.

GIRL UPSTAIRS WHO GOT FLASHED AT: ... so he threw her down the stairs and he was in his underwear and was, like, pulling her out into the street and she was hanging on to a tree and screaming ....
NEIGHBOUR 1: No way!
YT: What? Domestic violence? Where?
MOTHER OF GIRL UPSTAIRS WHO GOT FLASHED AT: No, no, a flasher
YT: You got flashed at?
N1: Did you call the police?
MoGUWGFA: Yes, and they didn't answer
N1: What??
GUWGFA: I know! I called 112* and they didn't answer. They didn't even call back.
YT: That's weird. I thought they always answered.
MoGUWGFA: Apparently not.
YT: And who got thrown down the stairs?
MoGUWGFA: The superintendent in the building where the flasher lives.
YT: What flasher?
GUWGFA: I was driving with my friend over by Gerpla [a kiosk] and this guy comes out and he was all bleh bleh and he comes over to the car and was going to touch my friend, so she put her window up and then he pulled his pants down ...
MoGUWGFA: ... and he had a big erection.
YT: Ew!
GUWGFA: He's really weird. I see him around here all the time. You've probably seen him too. He's mental.
N1: You see him around here all the time? Lovely.
YT: But who got thrown down the stairs?
GWGFA: The superintendent in the building where he lives. She's this lady and she had to go talk to him about something and her friend asked if she should go with her, and she was like, "No, just phone me in ten minutes." And so the friend phones and the woman didn't answer so she went up to look for her and she sees the guy in his underwear, he'd thrown her down the stairs and she was hanging on to this tree so he wouldn't throw her out into the street.
YT: Oh. Whew. I thought you were talking about someone beating up his wife.

MEANWHILE IT WAS A GORGEOUS DAY TODAY
Exquisite, truly. A perfect day for flashers. The sun was out all day long and it was just so gentle and caring, not for a moment was it aggressive in all its shining glory. It was reasonably warm, too, above freezing at least ... I think we had highs of about 2 or something, which is pretty good, considering. Right now it's 4°C [oh] which means 39F, and the sun came up at 6.12 this morning, went down at 8.47 pm.

* 911 if you speak American.
