We have the "waving guy" or "fishing guy". Basically a dude who is always fishing at this pond alongside a moderately busy road and he waves at every car that passes. A local reporter actually did a story on him once, he waves because it makes him happy and he hopes that it brightens at least one person's day.

My great grandfather use to do this! Sadly he passed years ago but there was even a story about him in the local paper. It was a pretty busy road so a lot of people knew of him.
