AIBU to think this lady was nuts? Share your WTF interactions with strangers here

No, I was thinking it would be nicer for the fish if they could see out 🤣

And me! "I am Constable Knapweed, and I keep law and order. I watch to see that all is well along the garden border"! Loved it!

Working in a pub years ago and a drunk man told me I gave the place a bad name because the girls who worked there were supposed to be nice and slim and that's why he drank there but I was fat, I was a size 10 but regardless of that he was a dick.

Woman screaming at me that 'you can't have food open around him!' after her out of control dog snatched an open pack of crisps out of my toddlers hand almost taking a few fingers with them while we were minding our own business on the beach.

And my favorite WTF story ever.
Was about 18, out for drinks with a mate when this older man approached us, maybe in his late 30's. He told us he wasn't from our city was bragging about how he was staying in a fancy hotel and had 10k in his pocket to take us out with if we'd come back to the hotel with him.

When we politely declined he said 'just as well really I live in insert name of rough estate and I don't really have any money just this for my dog', reached into his inside pocket and pulled out some sweaty cooked ham wrapped in clingfilm. 20 years later if I'm going out with that friend we still each other if we've remembered to bring our pocket ham!

I thought tail first and have been confused why it has thus far been a 100% consensus of head first. I also have autism and adhd so who knows if that is relevant lol

It was said a lot to us when we had two then three close together in age.

I think the area we were in there was assumption we must be on benefits - where as we were married 30 year old well educated homeowning professionals interacting with our kids and usually all very happy - it was not bad moments people would say this at you.

I said to DH if we aren't suppose to have kids who is allowed.

However we didn't drive and as I was home with them when younger - we were out in local area before and after school at parks/libraries getting shopping on way back and out and about in school holidays - and I think many kids were in childcare or cars and just weren't seen out and about - so we must have looked poor and odd for being around.

Because the g-force will suck your uterus right out of you don't you know lol.

That makes no sense at all. 😕

When DD was little we went on holiday to Dorset. We were in a park and she met another little girl and they were playing together (they were about 2).
we were chatting to the parents for a while about work etc and then they asked where we were from, we lived in Middlesbrough as DH was at the hospital there (it’s my home town it’s a perfectly normal place). I might have well have said we were devil worshipers and we were going to sacrifice their child. They changed very quickly and practically ran away.
Im still offended.

Happened to me a lot as a child, I have REALLY pale Irish skin with a slight blue/silver undertone so I look like I have no pigment. I also have grey eyes and I had white blonde hair as a child (which naturally became dark red when I hit puberty for some reason) but people regularly ask what was 'wrong' with me, was I sick, did I have cancer, was I dying etc... when little. Use to happen at least a couple of times per year.

It is weird to ask a child if they are 'dying' though but some people do.

Even more common adults use to often walk up to me and without saying anything put their palm on my forehead to 'take my temperature' too. It happened so commonly that I didn't even realize it was weird until adulthood. Looking back of course going up to someone in silence and ramming your hand in their face is weird but they where adults so I never questioned it.

My mother used to tell the story of our ndn saying (of me) "it's a good thing she looks like her father"!
Rude any way you take it...

I’m singing songs from The Herbs now 😬

I've graduated to Roobarb & Custard - da da da daa, da da da daa

A Stranger in the train??? 😕
The posts on this get more and more ridiculous.
I really don't understand why people are not allowed to have a different opinion for this one particular post.

As for calling a poster "stupid " - pretty sure that's against guidelines.

There was a big dollop of shit outside my Daughter and SILs house that I removed yesterday. It was probably from her dog. The dirty bitch, and I’m not talking about the dog.

'I'm a dog called Dill; I'm Dill the dog.'
You're not alone, Whatafabulous...

My relative by marriage said this to me. Of course she didn't know that I was pregnant, and went on to lose the baby shortly afterwards.
No-one should ever comment on other people's fertility choices and plans.

How did the cashier react?

Plus - the poster said she didn't say anything and just looked at him.

So many people champing at the bit to get their thoughts across they apparently didn't even read the whole post.

Was in the supermarket a couple of years ago. Started to put my shopping through the checkout and remembered I had forgotten to pick up bread, so asked DSD who was with me to nip and get it. I had a full trolley so knew she would have time. Cashier shook her head and gave me a very disapproving look and said " Well you're braver than me letting her go off on her own like that, I wouldn't if she was mine. Still, I suppose she's just old enough "

At this point DSD had returned with the bread. I asked her to tell the nice lady how old she was as she was concerned for her well being. DSD burst out laughing and stated " I'm 22 !! Do you want to see my ID?" 😂

'Ah...chlamydia.'
'I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope antibiotics clear that up for you.'

I don't think ANYONE is saying it acceptable to say to anyone.

We are pointing out that racists are morons who don't even know their arse from their elbow most of the time.

The sheer irony of assuming I'm 'foreign' due to my name when his name is originally middle eastern is just funny and shows that no one should give this mans 'opinions' the time of day.

I would personally far rather deport racists than migrants or asylum seekers but unfortunately we are stuck because no other country wants our village idiots either.

Standing in a cafe queue with my then 8 month old DS. A woman behind me tapped me on the shoulder and asked if she could hold my son. I wasn’t in any way struggling to hold him, we were cuddling away and waiting in line. Not knowing this lady at all, I said no, sorry.

She then left the queue, went back to her table and loudly declared to her friends sitting there, whilst pointing at me, ‘that woman wouldn’t let me hold her baby!’

Who gives their child to a random woman to be held?!

I don't want to pick on you but there have been several posts like this, ie where someone who was obviously from the UK was told to go home.

Can I just point out that even (or maybe especially) when you are obviously not from this country it still is pretty rude and upsetting to be told to go home.

I've been told to go home and the fact that I'm an immigrant, speak with an accent and I'm not white does not make it any more pleasant to hear.

I was saying that her comment ('I could see that was going to happen') wasn't helpful. I didn't expect her to do anything.
