In a baffling turn of events earlier today, a man—described only as “visibly perplexed”—was seen standing motionless in the middle of a sidewalk, occasionally muttering “wait, what?” and glancing around as if searching for something that may or may not have ever existed.

Eyewitnesses say the man appeared to be both bewildered and strangely accepting of the situation, occasionally nodding as if things were making sense before promptly furrowing his brow again.

“He was just… there,” said one passerby. “You could feel the confusion. It was in the air. Like a fog of pure uncertainty.”

Officials have been notified, though no official statement has been released. When asked for comment, a spokesperson replied, “We’re aware of the situation. Or at least, we think we are.”

The man himself has yet to offer any clarity. When questioned by reporters, he reportedly paused, looked to the horizon, and replied, “I think I left something… or maybe I found something? Wait. No.”

Experts remain divided on what this all means, but sources confirm the confusion is “ongoing and possibly escalating.”
