I was expecting some lurid tale of Chester the Molester doing what he does best (or is that worst)??

IMO most of what was describes falls more into the "eccentricity" category (except for the last, which falls under "disgusting slob").

When I was in college I worked in a department store, and we had some "regulars" who fit somewhere in the eccentric-weird scale. Some examples:

• The Basket Lady - female customer who would come in weekly. She headed for the wicker department on the third floor, gather some baskets and other items, sit on the floor, and talk to the wicker items while gently stroking them. After about ten minutes, she'd pick two items and pay and leave.
• The Whistler - male customer who would come a couple times a week. He would ride escalators up to three, then walked through each department while whistling musical tunes. He would then ride to the second and floors and repeat his walk through those floors. He could actually whistle pretty well, and his whistling volume was moderate, so no one paid him any mind.
• The Dog Lady - fiftyish lady with a terrier dog. She would make repeated trips on the various escalators , sitting the dog on the steps and saying things like "whee!" and "there we go" to the dog as they completed each trip. Lady and dog would complete about 30 trips before they had their fill, and moved on.
• The Widow - A couple in their late 60s to early 70s would come into the store's restaurant (which served quite good food) every Monday for dinner. They always asked for a friend of mine, Doreen, to be their waitress. The couple suddenly stopped coming in; then a few months later, the woman returned by herself. Before Doreen could inquire about the husband, the woman began to speak to the empty chair next to her. She then ordered two dinners. Doreen asked the woman if she wanted the second one packaged to go, but the woman said to serve it as usual. The woman ate her dinner, occasionally asking her imaginary companion why he wasn't eating, then at the end, she asked Doreen to wrap the food to go, stating that "he's not hungry right now". She then departed with her food parcel in tow, leaving a generous tip. This pattern was repeated every Monday for about three months, then the woman disappeared and was never seen again.
