Sooo,

I've actually had people walk up to me and ask me if I was "OK?" while getting wet in a puddle or something - they think you're a bit 'off' or something if an adult is down in a puddle and want to check on you.

Another time several years ago now I had been on bicycle and in a park nearby caught in a downpour and several of us took a little shelter in a parking area with some tall trees nearby making them tallest thing for lightning to hit. One was a boy about 13 or 14 who was talking up a storm to all us adults and only two of us would converse with him. Most were wearing dark color shorts and I had on medium blue color levis so they were showing the wetness as we all were getting soaked and the kid commented a few times about that.

The storm let up and everyone went different directions, but the boy went up the trail leading out of the park to a neighborhood. I rode by him on my bike and got to the top of the hill and figured, hey "I"M DRENCHED" so who cares I'm going back to ride some like I set out to. On the way the boy flags me down to ask what I was doing - he'd been a smart*ss with a couple of us so I said I'm going to go play in the puddles since I'm already all wet.

I went back into the park, rolled in one puddle to be dripping shiny wet and then was riding around the lake in the park when a police car showed up to stop me and ask questions. Turns out the 'boy' told his parents about me and the officer said they reported I had been 'bothering the boy'. Wrong - he was a snarky fellow bothering a couple of us, but after explaining that the office just said I should carry ID - He did radio to verify my name/address (nearby) but I never take my wallet on bike rides.

Like others said - they have to 'check all us strange characters' out when someone gets concerned and reports for any stupid reason.
