Man living backwards
I've checked all the answers to prior questions and none of them were it. Read the story maybe 30 years ago but it may be older. A guy is living backwards, maybe as a result of some scientist doing something to him. The part I remember is him getting food by going into a grocery store and walking backward so that to observers living forward it looked like he was putting stuff on the shelves. Weird behavior, sure, but not something that anybody would freak out over.
