Okay..what is the absolute oddest thing you've ever seen someone do?

[youthere]

This morning I drop the kids off and go in the local convenience store to grab a cup of coffee. There were two women in front of me and one of them had a sanitary pad hanging out the leg of her pants. She took a step, noticed it..bent over and grabbed it and reached down the front of her pants and put it "back in place".

I don't know what to say.

Edit to add: :wow:

[Bunny]

1. Well, I can't possibly top that, so I won't even try.

:wtf:

[youthere]

2. Honest to gods..I nearly shit myself with shock.

[Dr. Strange]

3. You should have...and then put it "back in place" and act like nothing happened.

Of course, she would have come here and wrote a post about the oddest thing she'd ever seen.

[IzaSparrow]

47. HAHAHAHAH

:spray:

that's great!

[FloridaJudy]

4. That beats mine

I once went to an all-night pharmacy to pick up a prescription.

The woman in line ahead of me was wearing a wedding dress, and buying a case of baby formula and a box of condoms. I mean, didn't these people plan ahead for the honeymoon? And couldn't the groom have done this? Granted a tuxedo would have been out of place, but not nearly as much as a wedding gown.

[youthere]

5. LOL! Baby formula and Condoms?

Would that be putting the cart before the horse a little?

[Rosemary2205]

6. Obviously

that horse has been out of the barn already anyways. :)

[MonkeyFunk]

7. Three things come to mind -

Two happened at poker tables:

First, I was playing low-limit hold'em and an ugly green spider was spotted walking across the table. A few people wanted to kill it, some wanted to save it. While the discussion was going on, one of the players reached over, grabbed the spider and ate it. I thought it was brilliant poker strategy - you knew this guy was capable of anything.

Second, I was playing hold'em again, and one of the players, every time he was in a pot, would pick up one of his chips, lick it, and stick it to his forehead. Do you know how gross poker chips are in a public cardroom?!?! And then to LICK chips that were going to ultimately end up in a pot? I had to say something I never thought I'd have to say: "Dealer - could you please ask the gentleman in seat 2 to stop licking the chips."

The third one happened at an "adult" boutique. A woman was trying to return a vibrating dildo because it was "too loud". The poor clerk spent 20 minutes trying to explain why they couldn't accept returns on such things, but the lady was having none of it. It was hysterical to watch the whole argument.

[youthere]

9. After hearing that, three things come to my mind:

Eww.
EWW.
and
EWW

[ThomCat]

54. OMG! That third one!

:rofl:

I hope she found a replacement that was quieter. :)

[CreekDog]

57. Yeah, she should have tried it out in the store before buying it in the first place!

:spank:

[zabet]

8. Hmmmm...

I watched someone try
to drop-kick a piece of
firewood....they weren't
even drunk. :crazy:

I watched a friend climb
a huge tree, hook the winch
from the front of his big
4x4 truck high up in the
tree. He came down and
winched the truck up in
the tree. Yes, all of us
were plastered that day.
We had a hell of a time getting
it back down because it would
land on the tailgate and try to
flip over backward.
:rofl:

[youthere]

11. He deliberately winched his truck up the tree?

Or was he trying to pull down a branch?

[zabet]

13. Deliberately winched it up.

Picture a bunch of drunk
gear-head rednecks arguing
over torgue, tensile strength
of cables, winch size as opposed
to truck size and weight and most of all,
"I dare you to prove it!"

[youthere]

14. OMG...

:rofl:

I wish you had caught that on videotape!

[zabet]

15. Me too!

It is almost one of
those 'you had to see
it to believe' things.

[IzaSparrow]

48. a true "testosterone and lighter fluid" moment...that's great

:rofl:

[Debi]

10. That throws my 'Rob a store dressed like Easter Bunny' story out the window

But both of them happened in Iowa so......:yoiks:

What kind of 'convenience' stores to you frequent? x(

[youthere]

12. Isn't that something?

And you know, this is a real small town, and I'm in that place every morning for my coffee fix, and I didn't know her, and neither did the other lady in front of me. We looked at each other like "She didn't really just...Oh my god she DID."

I'm intrigued though...Easter Bunny Desperado? Do tell!

[Debi]

17. I'm sorry - I got my 'tail' mixed up - he didn't rob the store....

'Easter Bunny' Arrested for Harassment

from Associated Press

Council Bluffs, Iowa - The bunny trail led to trouble for a mall Easter Bunny who got upset at a co-worker, police said.

Michael J. Desantiago Sr., 36, of Council Bluffs, was arrested Saturday at the Mall of the Bluffs where he had a job dressed as the Easter Bunny. He told officers he became upset when someone threw water and other items at him, police said.

Desantiago left the area, changed clothes and came back to tell a fellow employee he was leaving. The employee told police that Desantiago "got up in her face and started to yell at her."

Desantiago threatened another person if he didn't get out of his way, police said.

He was charged with two counts of harassment.

>>>>>>

I initially blamed Counciltucky until he 'said' he was a) not 36 and b) in Iowa City on the date/time the incident occured...:P

[youthere]

19. You know..I've always felt the Easter Bunny was more than a little...

passive agressive...you know the chocolate "eggs" and all.What do you think the message THERE is?

[Debi]

22. I'm just betting

THAT would help PENT UP some hostilities!

[youthere]

23. I LOVE that picture.

That was one of the very best scenes in that movie. "He looks like a pink NIGHTMARE!"

[Redstone]

16. That's truly bizarre. I did, however, once eat several plastic spiders out of a woman's hair.

(This was at a Halloween party, and no, I wasn't drunk. I was just staying in character.)

Redstone

[youthere]

18. Like, ATE ate them?

How'd THAT work out for you in the end?

[Redstone]

28. Yes, ATE ate them. I never do anything halfway. And it worked out OK "in the end,"

because I chewed 'em up real fine.

Redstone

[youthere]

31. Oh thank goodness...

that would be a tough one to explain to the doctor. :rofl:

[Redstone]

35. And, to this day (that party was 13 or 14 years ago), I'm known in some circles as

"the guy who ate the spiders from Kathy's hair."

Redstone

[elehhhhna]

20. Some joker stood his old Grandma on a jack (the car kind)

and jacked her up so she could step into their van. I am not making this up.

[youthere]

21. ....

:spray: :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Ok, on the subway last year...

A guy got on, carrying a copy of the Boston Globe and a copy of the Boston Herald. He started walking around, screaming "Who wants a newspaper? Do YOU want a newspaper?!!" at everyone in the car...Nobody wanted one, so he proceeds to spread the papers all over the floor of the car, and sits down on them. He's sitting there on the floor by the feet of a few passengers, and begins to....meow. Loudly.

"Meooooow....meoooow. Meeeeeeoooooow."

:crazy:

[youthere]

25. WTF? Meowing?

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Swear to gawd...

I was stunned...As soon as I got off at my station, I immediately called Sniffa to tell him about it... :rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

27. Two women have married me - that's friggin' odd

I still wonder why just about every day.

[LNM]

29. You topped my story, but I'll tell it anyway.

I was on a plane and kept hearing this "snip, snip" noise. I turned around and looked across the aisle. There sat a very well-dressed, classy looking couple. I'd guess they were about 60 years old. She was clipping his fingernails. Fingernails flying all over them. Blech!

[youthere]

30. LOL! That would have really grossed me out.

I think my second worst was at my husband's company Christmas party his manager's wife kept blowing her nose in the cloth napkins.

[LNM]

32. Ewww!

That'll mess up his promotion.

[Arkansas Granny]

34. Your story reminded me of one. On an early morning flight on a

small plane to Dallas I was surprised to hear a rooster crow several times. I asked the attendant and she said the noise was coming from the baggage compartment. I never did learn the story behind that, but you don't expect to hear barnyard critters in the air.

[LNM]

38. I think that would kinda be cool.

Very odd, but cool just the same. I guess roosters don't fly very well.

[mainegreen]

39. wrong place

...

[texas1928]

33. In the Chicago train station... while waiting for our Amtrak train to DC.

I was going to the bathroom and as I enter the tunnel toward the restrooms. This homeless man came out of the bathroom, he was looking down the front of his pants and was having a very animated conversation with something in his pants. I could tell it was answering back by the way he would say something and then way a moment and respond. Needless to say I held it, til he came out of the tunnel.

[Serial Mom]

66. I wonder if that was same man my husband saw

laying down on a bench in the men's room of Union Station with his johnson hanging out, and yes, he said is was fully hanging out!

[texas1928]

69. Might have been, this guy looked like he had been there for a while.

It was in early March 1988. I turned 16 on the train as we were going.

[Hardrada]

36. When I was in junior high, this woman wearing a red dress,

orange socks and blue tennies saw me mowing a lawn. I stopped the mower so I could refuel its tank and she came over and cursed me and the "Rubber wheeled lawnmower."
She finally left after her little rant. I was never able to start that lawn mower again and we had to get a new one. This same woman painted numerous red diamonds on her home also!

[Gonzo Gardener]

37. ...

[mainegreen]

40. I saw a 300 pound man float up out of his chair until he hit the ceiling....

which he remained pressed up against until he dropped down and crashed into his seat.

Remember folks, when the captain flashes the 'fasten seat belts' sign, it's not a suggestion for your comfort, it's a warning for your safety.

We were landing in Salt Lake City, and hit a major downdraft. Scary.

[ThomCat]

56. Those moments are "Air-time"

when you're butt is off the seat are the most painful parts of any flight. x(

Even with a seatbelt on I absolutely dread turbulence.

[Javaman]

41. I have one that is pretty close to yours but not quite as prize winning...

I was over a "friends" house one day. My friend had a wife of very questionable behavior and hygiene.

I'm in an easy chair and she is sitting on the couch.

We are both waiting for my friend to return from the store.

The TV was on and we were just watching quietly.

(the following is like a moment from Family Guy)

Out of the corner of my eye, I see here hands drift down between the cushions of the couch. I see her fishing around for something.

A cold chill ran up my spine.

Out she pulls a dust covered potato chip. She sniffs at it, blows off the foreign matter, then promptly eats it!!!

What do I say? Taste good? I fixed my eyes on the TV for the remainder of the time till my friend returned.

[formerrepuke]

42. The oddest encounter I ever had with someone....about 25 years ago:

Some Guy: "'Scuse me, sir.. what is the date?"
Me: "The 26th"
Some Guy: "of...??"
Me: "October"
Some Guy: "..the whole date, what is it?"
Me: "Wednesday, October 26th"
Some Guy: "..the entire date, exactly!?!?"
Me: "Wednesday, October 26th, 1983."
Some Guy: "Man, oh...Damn! Dammit, man, oh man!.."

Then he stomped off, mumbling to himself....

[FloridaJudy]

46. Probably just a Time Traveler

Whose Tardis had malfunctioned. He was aiming for 1993 and overshot.

[struggle4progress]

43. I was driving down a little two lane road, below the Mason-Dixon, going

limit plus five or so, and a guy comes up fast from behind to ride my tailpipe. So in my best neighborly fashion, I pull onto the shoulder and wave him around. He finds this very insulting and flips me the one-finger salute as he passes.

I go around a couple more turns, and there he is, ahead of me on the straightaway, gunning for a still-green light -- which, however, he does not make: he does not run the redlight but stops. It is red a long time, and I finally pull up behind him and stop myself.

When the light finally turns green, he unrolls his passenger side window and starts a conversation with somebody standing at the gas-station there on the corner. I figure he's asking directions, so I'm not impatient. The conversation goes on and on.

The light turns red again. At this point, the guy rolls back up the window, gets out of his car, locks the door, and leaving the car at the redlight walks over to the fellow he was conversing for big handshakes and backslapping fun.

I wait until the light turns green again, drive around the parked car, and head down the road at limit plus five until I go around the next bend. Then I drive about limit plus twenty until I turn off that road.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

44. 20 or so years ago

at the company I was working, our little department was located at the back of the office, consisting of 4 people one of which was an SOB (son of boss). Anyhoo, from where I sat I could view the two bathrooms near the back entrance, each marked mens or womens. The SOB would repeatedly go into the womens even if the mens was free. After seeing this go on for a couple of weeks I got to thinking: he's going in there to do drugs and has hidden his stash in there somewhere. It would have to be coke or some such, since smoking pot would be detectable. So, one day I lock myself in and proceed to search the place. Looked under the cabinets, in the paper towel throw away place under the plastic baggie, in the toilet tank and even (get this) took the feminine products baggie out of its holder to look in the bottom (of the holder, that is). The only other place was the ceiling tiles, but I didn't have any way to get up and check there except by climbing on the cabinet or toilet and, knowing me, falling off. Didn't find anything.
Maybe I'm the weird one.

[av8rdave]

45. Years ago, on a flight I was working, I saw

a late 50ish business man, expensive suit, lying in a first class seat sucking on a pacifier. He was going to town on that thing!

His personal assistant (traveling with him) said his therapist suggested it as a means of dealing with stress.

[texas1928]

49. AAWW did Mr. Johnson need his binky???

LOL.

[SKKY]

51. I had a fligh on SouthWest Airlines once...

...that made me wish like hell I'd had a pacifier to suck on. I was flying from Louisville to Phoenix and, while over the Rockies, hit some absolutely wicked turbulence. I mean the kind were even the hostesses (And they're not exactly "newbies" on Southwest, if you get my drift) were looking very scared. It was after that flight I began to develop a fear of flying. I hate it. Well, I don't fear flying. I fear slamming into the ground at 300 mph should the lowest bidder who won the maintenance contract forget to screw something in tight enough, or mistakenly cut the wrong wire.

[av8rdave]

52. Mountain wave...sucks, but it happens sometimes

[Skittles]

50. a guy who was chopping wood

he had his leg hiked up on a deck while he was doing it and it looked dangerous so I said, "You need to be careful or you will end up chopping your leg." "Oh yeah," he says, and hikes up his pants leg to show me several chop scars.

[nadine_mn]

53. I got one...lttle gross though

I was stuck in traffic and looked in my rearview mirror...I saw a woman behind me who was grimacing, and I was wondering if she was ok, when I saw her pull something off the top of her head (she had been picking or rubbing the top of her head), she examined it..

then she stuck it in her mouth...


:puke:

I am so glad I was already stopped because I was so sickened

[Mad_Dem_X]

67. !

:puke:

[Duer 157099]

55. Just imagine being in her predicament

Yikes, what a choice she had. I mean, think of the alternative -- just kick it out the pantleg and then.. what? ewwww

:shudder:

[grannylib]

58. Female driver crocheting while going down a major-metro interstate

at about 85 MPH...

[youthere]

73. Had to do a double take on that...

for a split second I thought "What's "CROTCH-eting?". Duh.

[XemaSab]

59. You should have yelled "Plug it up! Plug it up!"

a la Carrie. :P

But yeah, that's pretty appalling. :o

[Madrone]

60. I WIN!!

I'm going to tell ya'll this, THEN go back and read all of the responses. I have a hard time believing there's anything topping this:

I used to rent a room from a girl that would, while she was on the computer, watching tv, driving, etc, work and work and work and squeeze and squeeze on zits on her face. When she'd "get" one she'd gather it on her fingers, sneak a quick glance, then pop it in her mouth.

NO I am not lying. YES I wish I were.

[youthere]

70. Okay..you win. That's pretty gross.

[Roon]

61. I have seen people walking downtown naked/topless

I saw a naked woman once, just walking around. And I saw a topless woman once. She was just walking down the street....

[FunkyLeprechaun]

62. I was on the Orange Line on Boston's T once

It's one of the sketchy lines in Boston (the Red line was the best, the Green always late! :()... but my partner was visiting for the week and BU wouldn't allow visitors over the spring break. So I found a deal with a Holiday Inn in Somerville. Nice rooms... shame about the area... not far from the T though... we walked quite handily.

I had to go check in before my partner arrived in and got on the Orange line.

This obviously drunk guy comes on with a black plastic bag with something inside it.

He is so obviously drunk and not even holding on I was like, "Please... get to my stop a little quicker!"

Time goes on... the plastic bag starts to slip and it's a fish.

I can't tell if it was a cooked fish or not..... I could see its eyes though!

I'm thinking, "Oh my goodness... it's a drunk guy holding a.. raw? fish!"

He's swaying around holding this fish. He doesn't seem to give a shit about who was around him though.

All of a sudden at my stop the train jerks forward...

You know what's coming don't ya?

A drunk guy? Come on...

Yep! He loses a handle of his fish and it falls down to the floor (it's a full bodied fish for sure, tail and all).

There's a bit of a line to get out (I'm certain people had enough of him). He notices his fish's fallen on the T's floor.

He picks it up.

Looks at it.

Then takes a giant bite out of it......

At that point it was exit stage right....

I kind of feel sorry for the other passengers who had a later stop though. Maybe it was cooked (it looked pink) but it was a whole fish, tail and all.

[leeroysphitz]

63. I Knew guy in the army that would snort bottle caps full of

ice cold Absolute vodka through his nose. He claimed it got him "buzzed" faster.

[NJCher]

64. Cool as a cucumber

I was in Macy's shopping with a friend. I was waiting by the jewelry department and this woman walked by in stillettos. Click click click, she's marching for the jewelry counter like a homing pigeon.

She gets to the counter and sort of leans against it. One leg is flexed at the knee a bit and the stilletto is dangling from her foot. She's looking at what's in the jewelry cases. Then I saw it: her panties went floating down around her one ankle. Since the other knee was flexed, it was a sort of lopsided deal but I didn't have much time to examine the situation because, keeping her cool, she put her other foot on the floor, stepped out of one leg, and kicked the panties up backwards with one foot, catching them in her hand and stuffing them into her handbag. All of this took about 2/10ths of a second.

Slick.

71. You have to admire the coordination on that.

10 points for style.

[MrSlayer]

65. A friend of mine tried to pierce his nipple with a stapler.

He did a lot of goofy shit.

[lazyriver]

68. I got two for ya. One is not so bad and the other, well...you'll see.

In college during the late stages of a party, after he drank about a dozen and a half beers and three coffee cups of Everclear & lemonade, my friend Hammerhead ate an entire tub of Crisco with a spoon and followed it up with two sticks of butter. He carefully unwrapped them and ate them like candy bars. 30 minutes and two more beers later he said goodnight, staggered into his room and passed out without ever puking or showing any ill effects at all.

But hands down the strangest and most disturbing thing I've ever seen was on the PATH train from Hoboken to NYC when I was in high school. Don't read any further if you don't want to hear a gross story...A few of us were headed into the city for a Saturday of "buy some weed in Central Park and see where the night takes us" fun. (NYC was so much more fun in the 80's.)There was a guy on the train dressed in some very shabby clothes and a duct tape jacket who was obviously troubled on more than a few levels. He walking up and down the car speechifying about jesus and how he'd been saved by him. He claimed to be reciting bible passages but was actually paraphrasing lines from popular TV shows of the era (Cheers and Night Court to be precise). As he paced up and down the aisle, he stripped off all his clothes and was sporting a raging hard on. He stopped at the end of the car and asked nobody in particular "Who would like to annoint my staff with oil?" In typical 1980's NY/NJ train rider style we all paid him little mind and looked straight ahead at the wall or out the windows into the walls of the tunnel. He pulled a bottle of baby oil out of a brown bag he had been carrying, oiled up and proceeded to masturbate furiuosly into the brown bag. It took him all of a minute to complete the task and by the time the train stopped, he had put all his clothes back on and was standing by the door. He turned around to face everybody again and said, "You are all my children. I thank you for your time today and jesus thanks you". He reached into the brown bag again and pulled out a handful of 20 dollar bills. He sprinkled them on the floor of the train and said, "Take what is mine, for god needs no earthly treasure". With that, the doors of the train opened. He walked out the door he was standing in front of and the rest of us piled out the other door not caring if we wanted to be on that side of the track or not. Not a single person picked up any of the $20 bills and I feel sorry for any of the passengers getting on at that stop who did. You know, to this day, I won't pick up any money I find laying on the sidewalk or in the street.

[youthere]

72. Reminder to self...when in Jersey...take the bus.
