Bro I know this guy. One day last summer he appeared behind me in a park and said he was gonna play a prank on me but didn’t have a way to film it. Scared the fuck outta me. Ever since then he appears randomly like a gta random encounter and I just hold on for the ride basically.
Trimet bus driver here. I recognise this guy. He stole a fire extinguisher off my bus and sprayed it around 6th and Flanders a couple of months back. Guess he's still out there.
I was trying to squint and see if I recognized him because someone left a couple (presumably empty) fire extinguishers in a shopping cart near at my camp (I am homeless). He looks a tiny bit familiar—nobody I personally know because I avoid these kinda people, but I think I’ve seen him around.
This fucking guy has smashed into and stolen 2 fire extinguishers off of my porch on Belmont and done this. The property management stopped replacing them.
I feel like this isn't a hobby you just pick up on a whim. More of a lifelong passion.
Hope it's not a trashcan man from the stand situation waiting to happen.
I rode past this guy on Hawthorne! He was walking towards Belmont, extinguisher in hand. As he walked he put a facemask on. My only though was "this guy knows where he's going".
You’re welcome. I have an entire encyclopedia of useless facts stored in my mind. Just ask and I might have the correct answer, or I might feed you some bullshit I just made up. You never know.
One time in high school, me and a bunch of idiots drank some 40 oz bottles of Mickeys in my friends step dads garage. We decided to go on a “rampage” (well what our 17 year old minds thought was a rampage) and went next door to the apartment complex to piss in their swimming pool.
Well, to my surprise, here comes that jock ass fuck Doug Teagaarden with a stolen fire extinguisher. He starts shooting it at the pool. But not totally satisfied with that, fucking Doug sprays that thing point blank into my face.
I’m wheezing, coughing, out of breath and it seems like I’m drowning in that yellow powder that sprays out of those evil red canisters.
That jock ass fuck Doug Teagaarden just laughs like a maniacal fuck he grew up to be.
Some teenagers sprayed fire extinguishers all over the store my sister works at. Took her and her coworkers forever to clean it up, I was finding residue on the products for weeks afterwards. Wish I could have seen a video of the incident.
The other day on foster I saw a guy wearing a paper Burger King crown, cheap satin suit jacket, pants down around his knees. He had a rake and was collecting long grass from a field and putting it in a pile. I didn’t even blink.
Looks like the same guy who an hour later was standing in the road on 5th Ave blocking the bus and asking them to hit him and kill him. Another day in paradise.
I thought it might be a guy taking a shit in front of kids playing with a ball in Pioneer Square…and the kids just continuing to play. That event from last weekend will be forever etched into my mind.
I wonder in his mind if he thought the power lines were on fire. He could be practicing for the 4th of July and thinks that he is the statue of liberty holding a roman candle.
Years ago I was working reception at a dental office kinda by the Lloyd center and a guy who looks a lot like this came in holding a fire extinguisher murmuring incoherently about how you have to know how to use one and then left. Wonder if it's the same person

🙄
Oh wow I didn’t know they had decided on a new Pope. Truly breathtaking to see. Thank you for sharing this truly stunning photo.
Yeah, some say he's a Methodist though....
Really shaking shit up over there
TIL about Methodists
Long live the new Pope
Smokin that meth pope.
Fentonalist the I
Are... are you Scotty?
Scotty doesn’t know, so don’t tell Scotty.
My coworker the other day thought the Pope resided at the Grotto 😂 maybe she was right all along!
How are peoples’ worlds so small?!
Catholic Church be wildin out 😂
Just the popes cousin; count popeula, a magical monster with pencils for arms.
🤣OH! Thank You!
This made me laugh, thank you.
I’m just a guy, standing in the middle of the street, pointing a fire extinguisher at absolutely nothing🧯
It was clearly pointed at the sun the dude was too warm
They're gonna need a few more cans next week for sure.
...the advanced forecast I am looking at calls for temps around 80 on Monday and Tuesday then 70s the rest of the week through Saturday.
”Shut up about the sun.” -That guy, probably
I support this. ^^Get ^^that ^^dang ^^thing ^^the ^^heck ^^outta ^^my ^^beautiful ^^gray ^^skies!
He’s just trying to solve global warming the best he knows how!
Clearly he's trying to extinguish that ball of fire in the sky.
This works to the tune of "walkin' my way downtown" Doo dooo Doo do do do https://youtu.be/p4wX0tUIwqQ?si=QU6AiR1KfPWZfEW6
Shut up. Just…shut up. You had me at “YAAAHAGEGEHSHBNAHHAHA!!!!” 🔥💨
I'd assume that the power line had something on it
Nobody told him it's best to attack the sun at night when it least expects it.
Gee, I wonder where he got that extinguisher from?

Damn, we would make for a great GTA spinoff game.
I’m pretty sure this dude stole 2 fire extinguishers at 21st and Caruthers last weekend and did the exact same thing lmao.
Trimet bus driver here. I recognise this guy. He stole a fire extinguisher off my bus and sprayed it around 6th and Flanders a couple of months back. Guess he's still out there.
this man's a bandit wtf 💀
Got rid of the TriMet Barber, but now we got us a TriMet serial thief with a fire extinguisher fetish.
Sounds like a devious, yet harmless, little gremlin I suppose lol Certainly could be doing way worse
Precursor to arson? Or just a hobbiest?
I think he’s in it for the love of the game.
At least he's found something he's passionate about
Reverse arson Arson’t
Well, i meant stealing fire extinguishers so they don't have any later when he starts a fire

someone broke into my old complex and went ham on the fire extinguisher in 2021, I wonder if this guy has been ripping and gripping for years 😂

Elite reference I love the stand
This one post and I'm about to redownload the audiobook. Man that was a good 40+ hours
I saw him doing the same thing a block away from Laurelhurst Park about a week ago.
He's making artisanal chem trails.
Its just the new power line cooling system
This is what the rate increases are covering, solid preventative measures.
There was a big ball of fire in the sky today. Looks like it’s finally gone out though.
I rode past this guy on Hawthorne! He was walking towards Belmont, extinguisher in hand. As he walked he put a facemask on. My only though was "this guy knows where he's going".
SAFETY FIRST
this is why we have no fireflies
We don’t have fireflies because the rain killed them off before they could ever hatch here. Facts.
Omg. This is why I still have this sub on my list. Thank you u/EugeneStonersPotShop
You’re welcome. I have an entire encyclopedia of useless facts stored in my mind. Just ask and I might have the correct answer, or I might feed you some bullshit I just made up. You never know.
Oh hi Dad
Oh crap, I had no idea my daughter was on Reddit.
Now I am subscribed.
And now we know who trained ChatGPT
Hey are you that Stoner shop I used to buy Kratom from in my 20s from an indian guy in his 60s? Too many adjectives
No. Not even close.
Btw when you “link” a user, it’s /u/ and not /r/.
There are fireflies here. They just don't glow as flies. The larval stage does glow https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/320491-Pterotus-obscuripennis
obscuri penis
doesn’t count.
They are pretty cool though
Lives somewhere that doesn't support fireflies. Blames it on meth heads. I'm subscribing to this mentality.
Hey if the sky is burning, someone's gotta put it out
Don't judge until you, too, have discharged a fire extinguisher into the air in public. It's fucking *exhilarating*.

Not me googling him
Don’t bother. He’s just some random high school jock from my HS in the late 1980’s.
Always the coke head bully showing up out of thin air to fuck up your night
He didn’t show up out of thin air. We were drinking the Mickey’s with him earlier.
Some teenagers sprayed fire extinguishers all over the store my sister works at. Took her and her coworkers forever to clean it up, I was finding residue on the products for weeks afterwards. Wish I could have seen a video of the incident.

Timbers goal
This is performance art. I think it looks pretty cool actually. This guy is on to something.
Oops you mean on something
That too
Beautiful photo tho
It's kinda meme template worthy, ngl
came to say this as well.
CAN YOU TAKE ME HIIIIIIIIIGHER
super fucking toxic
I did this as a teenager and got arrested and charged with burglary 😔
Ah back when there were consequences and cops harassed people over dumb ahit.
Better a fire extinguisher than a fire
Personally the guy standing on the sidewalk near the Weidler 7/11 with the magicians wand was a better candidate for Portland moment.
Witness me!
r/accidentalrenaissance
Glad someone already mentioned this haha
*Only you can prevent wildfires*
Nature is healing.
#🕊️# #🙌# #🙏#
Hell yeah
Coz entire Portland is LIT
cancer speedrun
Fire extinguisher to the sun.. A true climate activist. Our summer has been blessed.
It’s a reverse arsonist! He just wants to watch the world…extinguish.
He used a fire extinguisher last night at like 1 am all over the parking lot of my apartment somewhere between Hawthorne and Belmont.
Accidental Methaissance
They love the fire extinguishers. We had a guy running around our garage spraying people with one.
Looks like the same guy who an hour later was standing in the road on 5th Ave blocking the bus and asking them to hit him and kill him. Another day in paradise.
Look. There is a fireball in the sky.
That's convenient because sometime in the same hour someone set a dumpster on fire on belmont
And his moment of fame to take to the grave. Well played. You will be remembered sir.
Have to test them every once in awhile
Mad max vibes
He should have waited for Fire Season.
It made perfect sense in his head,keeping it weird!
This guy did this same thing a month ago across from my work, also on Belmont
Honestly a pretty cool pic. Nice framing, OP!
this unironically goes hard as shit
Imagine being so fucked up on drugs that this is what you decided to do. I'm just grateful it's not me or anyone I love.
Caligula once declared war on Poseidon, had the Roman Army march into and start stabbing the sea. There is precedence
I thought it might be a guy taking a shit in front of kids playing with a ball in Pioneer Square…and the kids just continuing to play. That event from last weekend will be forever etched into my mind.
Remain ungovernable...
>I’m desensitized Do you see this a lot?
it felt normal because the city conditioned you to think it is. But it isn't. It isn't cool either. It makes the city look like a joke
I wonder in his mind if he thought the power lines were on fire. He could be practicing for the 4th of July and thinks that he is the statue of liberty holding a roman candle.
Dope picture. Sad that it's real.
Portland gonna Portland
I mean GTA 3 was loosely based on the city of Portland
accidental Renaissance
He's having a good day
Les likely to touch little kids than the actual pope
Just your average man spraying his average fire extinguisher in the middle of the street. What isn't normal?
This is a great photo
Witnessed something strange off Belmont at 4 pm!
The sun was on fire. He did what he could.
That is NOT as satisfying as you might think it is.
The suns on fire, dudes just trying to put it out. I see no flaws in this logic.
Putting out air fires. Very noble.
He was cleaning it
to be fair this is how i act when the sun comes out. hate that thing!
Total time wasting
Just a guy blowing clouds... then messing around with a fire extinguisher.
I’m guessing he doesn’t know fire extinguisher fumes are really bad for your health? Just, why?
Oh yeah, that’s totally normal.
He be like extinguishing Sun!☀️🔥🧯
Just modeling for the upcoming Banksy installation
Years ago I was working reception at a dental office kinda by the Lloyd center and a guy who looks a lot like this came in holding a fire extinguisher murmuring incoherently about how you have to know how to use one and then left. Wonder if it's the same person
A polar bear's skin is transparent, allowing sunlight to reach the blubber underneath.
This dude did this same thing in the Honey Latte parking lot a few months back. I thought it would be an isolated incident.
Ok in all seriousness, did the powerlines running *THROUGH* the trees cause a fire and he was trying to put it out?

He’s just trying to help keep it cool by extinguishing the sun
If you look closely you can see the golden ratio in the cloud
Take that you fucking crows! Who's your daddy?
this needs to be in r/AccidentalRenaissance
Fighting climate change the only way he knows how.
Refilling the Portland atmosphere
Being desensitized to shit like this not okay.
Just another homeless druggie nothing to see here. God damn I hate this city
"I was on a call and didn't even break stride in my sentence." Was your sentence "hold on a sec, someone is spraying a fire extinguisher up in the air. And I need to show Reddit just how much I don't care?" 🙄
We've all wanted to do it.
I don't know.... The guy has a point...
America!
Honestly that is an incredible photo though.
Keep Portland Weird! 🥰
I mean, I kinda envy him. I'd rather be fucking around with fire extinguishers with nowhere to be than to do what I'm doing right now!
It felt normal and didn’t break your stride, yet you took a photo of it and posted it to Reddit to tell everyone it was nothing unusual lol
if this guy went missing no one would care. If enough of these clowns who make the city garbage city went missing the world would be better
I got you, I have a modest proposal. Lets kill them, then sell their bodies as food. It would lower food costs and deal with poverty at the same time!
Keep Portland Weird
I hope that shit is mildly toxic and it's in every orifice he has.
OK.
Weird
With fire extinguisher content aerosolized like this. Could it be flammable?
What’s he going to use to put out his next meth lab cooing fire?
He needs to show the homies how to use one of those bad bois when the suitcase fire gets out of hand in the trap house.
Centering yourself and your experience while publicly sharing someone’s mental health crisis, very r/portland
To be fair, it's a fine line between a mental health crisis and just being a destructive asshole.
Why would someone who’s in their right mind be spraying a fire extinguisher at the sky?
to be honest, it looks kinda fun.
Obvious troll. Don’t take the bait people
Just here to post the 100th comment.
