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

That’s from watch with mother. 1950’s kids tv show. Maybe you reminded him of his mother?

I used to work in an operating theatre (back in the 80s) and back then, the hospital had an incinerator, and severed limbs were taken there and incinerated. I don't know what they do now, @Itsabitweirdinhereinnit.

DS used to get really bad Juvenile spring eruption on his ears - took years and baffled GPs to work out what it was- solution stick a sun hat on.

For years older neighbour from down dropping grandchild at same school had to comment or remove the hat.

Never spoke to DH or me or kids with even a hello - but felt fine behaving like that towards a young boy - often at peak can't comment back times.

Had one of those, from a then colleague. It was noise at the dinner table, was pretty gobsmacked but maybe didn't hear properly, you know how it is.

Avoided the bloke for years, then came to the same workplace as him, traveling 180m so staying overnight for a couple of nights, with my wee suitcase. Again a snarky comment, think it was actually the day I was going home, no matter. He said something like "oh, you don't travel light", clearly no idea I was/had been staying overnight. Git.

Probably so he could have a shave 🤑

When in uni it was freshers week and there was a bubble machine. Me and my friends where sat buy it (we where year 3 volunteers working the fair) and a fresher came up screaming that he was 'deathly allergic to bubbles' and we where going to 'kill him'.

This caused a lot of staring and some people in the vicinity to start laughing. One kid piped up 'if your allergic to soap and water then how do you wash mate?' which caused more of the crowd to laugh and at this point he was actually turning red with rage ranting with clenched fists.

I know people can be allergic to certain types of toiletries, I always had a reaction to avon bubble bath but Im pretty sure no one is allergic to ALL soap and water let alone 'deathly' allergic. Despite his impending doom he stood right next to the machine ranting about it.

We never did find out how he washes, maybe he has dust baths like a chinchilla.

I went wedding dress shopping with my sister when I was 37. She's seven years younger. We entered one of the shops and the owner greeted my sister, looked at me and said 'And is this your mother?' I did look older than my sister but not old enough to have a 30 year old! I would have thought a wedding dress shop owner would have enough sense to be careful about making assumptions. As it turned out she wasn't a very nice person and we didn't end up buying from there.

My friend, seven months pregnant strolling down the road all her usual glamorous blonde groomed self, a car stopped behind her and a bloke yelled ‘alright darlin, fancy a lift’ she turned with bump on full show and answered ‘thats what got me in this fuckin state in the first place’ and continued walking, bloke drove off sharpish looking very sheepish.

I'm the kind of woman who would've laughed with the man. I guess we just have differing sense of humours.
People are so uber sensitive these days, sad 😔

Such a ridiculous assumption. She’s my best friend, we used to work together, I known her for 20 years.

I wouldn't have been offended by the pissing comment, I would have just laughed it off. However I do find it interesting that a lot would be but then didn't comment on the fish up the foof post, why is that not inappropriate? Is it because it was a woman to a women?
Just to note I would have found both funny but am genuinely interested.

I'm sorry you were yelled at. Must have been very unpleasant.

My friend is in his eighties and housebound. He used to be a stand up comedian, and thinks he still is, but he hasn't really kept pace with the way the world has changed since his act in the '70s and he still thinks 'blonde jokes' are cutting edge. I do my best! So it's not him, although I can well imagine him saying this.

I would've laughed at that. What's weird and pervy about that? 🤔

Thanks for that. Yes my son did apologise, very politely. His dog didn’t actually get close enough to eat their fish and chips but nonetheless he knew his dog was out of order.

What subsequently happened was bizarre. Yes, we were very shocked at how it escalated.

I agree completely with @KreedKafer, @Bitchette - this was an utterly inappropriate comment for a man to make to any woman, never mind one he doesn't know.

😂😂

I was horribly rude to a random stranger in an airport last year. Our plane home was very delayed and we were sitting in the airport for hours next to a family with restless DC. Our flight was called and for some reason I decided it would be nice to compliment the mum on keeping her DC amused for so long. This wouldn't have been a good idea anyway but my words got completely scrambled and I ended up insulting her. There was no way to fix it so I just ended on an agonised smile and scuttled off. I cringe myself into pretzels every time I think of it. Poor woman. I hope she enjoys telling people about the rude bitch in Majorca.

Did you reply by singing "I'm Dill the Dog, I'm a dog named Dill"?

If not, you are the weird one. 😂

Omg I think you win! I just had a good cackle, thank you.

In all seriousness though, being accused of shoplifting makes you never forget the receipt when buying something… a silver lining perhaps? Only kidding 🤣

I was standing at the bus stop minding my own business when a man walking past suddenly stopped, turned to me and told me "you're going to give birth to a son. A gift from God. There, isn't God good?" And walked off. I was actually ttc and having IVF at the time so I was a bit shaken up. His prediction never did come true!

My uncle grabbed me aged about 12, stuck his tongue down my throat and said I was getting curves in all the right places.

i shoved him and yelled and my mother slapped me across the face and said 'I don't care what anyoje does to you, you will NOT be rude'.

It's never left me.

Anyway- the pee thing that the poster is getting so much backlash for- yes, some men are creepy fuckers who like to make random women feel uncomfortable for kicks and pee porn is an actual thing. I rather envy the posters who are innocent enough to not know that.

You can be annoyed about a dog eating your picnic. How you choose to react even if the person has apologised and retrieved their dog is up to you. Yelling in someone's face, whatever the provocation, is deeply unpleasant.

But the family of another colour yelling in someone's face about racism when the actual issue is dog behaviour is unhinged.

You also making it about skin colour when it's nothing of the sort is ignorant.

I'd imagine they 'stood there' as they were so shocked at an insane accusation or, as they have said, scared.
