Choking Man. This weirdo has been running around South Florida for a few months, feigning choking in front of women in parking lots. Why do people feel the need to act out Chuck Palahniuk's stories?

A short, dumpy man has been going around town faking choking episodes, apparently to get attention from women

Is this really any worse than The Guy Who Goes To The Bar With His Snake?

Would any of the female MeFites like to see pics of my goldfish?

Sounds just like the Boy Who Cried Wolf. He'd better hope he doesn't find himself actually choking with nobody bothering to help him.

i would hate to fall in love with someone for the good feelings i think i give them when i save them from choking — only to have them admit that they'd been faking it all along!

And people ask me why I was happy to leave and I don't care to ever go back....this is yet just another example (although I'm from the "real" S FL of Broward & Dade counties).
