Tell me about the most jaw dropping OMG moment you've ever witnessed...

Many years ago I was watching my then boyfriend playing Sunday morning football. Half way through the first half a police van dew up, four burly policeman ran out and arrested the centre forward for the opposing team. They put a sub on and the game continued as if nothing had happened.

Holey Moley!!

I've seen similar things on Facebook all the time.

Honestly though, she's not one to make it up, she's an ex nurse and now a sure start volunteer, she was our neighbour at the time and came straight to ours to talk to my mum as she was in such a state about it!

Lj8893 FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Lj I'm not 100% I believe yours. I've seen that exact story circulated so many times on facebook (If you don't like/comment/share within the next hour the dead girl will haunt you etc etc).

Similar thing on snopes.

I was only about 14 when it happened, and it's stayed with me ever since, scary story!!

You win!!

My mums friend was once on a train sat opposite 3 teenager girls. The one in the middle was staring at her and none of them were talking to each other and she was starting to get a bit freaked out but being a typical Brit she didn't want to seem rude by moving!

Eventually the train guard came down and politely asked her if she wouldn't mind following him, she asked him why and he wouldn't tell her, just kept saying she had to go with him to another carriage. Eventually she did as he said. At the next stop several policeman got on the train and everyone had to evacuate the train.

It turned out that the staring girl in the middle was actually dead and had been killed by the other 2!!

Forgot another! Not in Camberwell this time. It was on the tube. Either District or Central - doesn't matter.

A bloke got in and sat opposite me and a friend. Thought nothing of it but he had sunglasses on and was staring . I looked over and realised that although he was wearing shorts, they were very baggy and you could see everything. The reason for the sunglasses so he could see our reaction but we could not see his. I managed to ignore but my stupid freind whispered (bit of a delilah decibel no I am surprised the whole carriage did not hear) "Oh poor man, he doesn't realise you can see everything" Duh! Course he could, which is why when he got off, his bag was placed in front to hide it!!!!!!

Honestly my friend is dopey at times!

I remember the black lady covered in white. She was very striking and disconcerting. I used to see her in 1996/7/8. I've often wondered about what happened to her.

More Camberwell fun - There was a black lady I used to see on the top of a bus. However she always dressed in white and powdered her face and hair white too. Two black ladies on the bus were saying to another that she wanted to be white. I assume (though perhaps I shouldn't) that she was not quite 100% if you see what I mean. It is a very black area and some of them used to take offence looking at her - low rumblings but hopefully no violence. As another poster said, lots of weird things happening there but of course not far from Maudsley psychiatric hospital so not surprising really*.

I have fond memories of Camberwell Green -the whole families of alchoholics that gathered there each day.

The one and only time I went to Maccy D's. This is before I heard they thickened the milkshakes with ...chicken fat (don't know, don't care if they still do, won't be going back). Any how they were a bit slow to serve. The two beligerant fat irish women were not keen on waiting. They were in front of me. There was one queue and two possible server points. They served a black guy ahead of the irish women and automatically it kicked off. They even accused him of having aids (wtf??). I should have left a long time ago and should not really have been surprised when they chucked a milkshake -which landed on me. Nice!

After all that I did not bother with a milkshake!

• Nearly forgot! I was looking for a flat/room in the area. Bloke on phone said look out for a white house. It turned out to be a big block of flats near the Maudsley (should have been a red flag right there). He was obviously not quite right. He told me all his male tenants were jealous of him having a girlfriend and some pissed on the mattress. The mattress I would have been sleeping on if I stayed there. Apart from him being strange, was the fact that the bedroom door was reeded glass and no lock. It was the darkest and dingyest pace I had ever seen

Or living next door to the rented flat....a variety of different people coming & going. A group moved in that we laughingly called "the Russian spys" as we never saw them- just heard them go through the entire history of western pop music. Didn't think much of it until one day the police knocked on the door. They were trying to get in to next door but couldn't as they had installed steel shuttering & inner doors apparently. They went through ours & over the wall & managed to pry a way in through the back. Apparently if they hadn't they were going to go through our sitting room walll....

Moved to the sticks now & nothing much happpens here apart from a bit of wife swapping & the swingers hotel...

Birdman mentioned above is still around, often see him in the barbican pubs.
my story is on a train with a colleague sat opposite a pleasant enough young man, half way into the journey 4 girls get on, one sits in the seat next to him, they strike up a brief conversation then about 10 mins later her hand goes under the table and the bag on his lap starts moving up and down. I was but being terribly british pretended nothing was going on, colleague looked oblivious too. she got off a few stops later and he moved seats and colleague turned to me and said' bloody hell did that just happen we were

I have a few....(brilliant thread by the way)

Sad one - mother in Boots in Barnet. Very hard stone floor. Young toodler standing up in buggy, jumping around. Toodler literally somersaults out & lands flat onback on the floor. Toddler screams - mother picks up & stuffs in the buggy & says serves you right! Poor child. It may have been really serious.

Living in no through road in north London....having friends round & realise forgotten vital ingredient. Send DH out & wait for him to get back. He returns swiftly , white as a sheet. I say that's been quick. He says faintlyiI haven't been yet. He went to the bottom of the road & a policeman with a machine gun told in no uncertain terms to get out. He abandoned the car & he was shoved around the corner where there was quite a lot more policemen about to do a raid on a place at the bottom of the road. .....

I remember driving round my local area in North London looking for a parking place. I passed two ladies dressed in traditional burkas. They were having an argument about something. I couldn't find a space so went slowly round the block again; as I passed them the second time they were shouting, pushing and bashing each other with their handbags.

It looked very odd.

BadLad!

My dad's OMG moment was when men were allowed time off for a child being born in the 1990's. This employee asked for time off and my dad was surprised as it had been said he was gay a number of times. My dad says "Oh I didn't know you were about to be a father?" To which the guy replies "Aye my horse is about to give birth!"

I was sat in the car waiting at traffic lights once, windows open. There was a man stood right by me on the pavement, I assume waiting to be picked up as he was just standing there. He made that noise like he was going to hawk up a load of gunk (ick) which made me turn to look at him in horror, as I can't bear spitting in the street. I turned right as he spat it all out (there was a lot, truly hideous), but he was obviously standing the wrong way for the wind and it all splatted straight back all over his face! Brilliant. I laughed my head off all the way to work.

Not as odd as some of these but I was walking home the other day. A young man aged about 21 was coming towards me on the other side of the road, with a large Alsatian dog on a lead. As the man approached I saw that he was on roller skates- fair enough, I thought, if slightly dangerous as a way of exercising your dog. However, as he came towards me he began to speed up and then skated off the pavement and began skating down the road at full speed, dog galloping along beside him. A car was coming along behind him but he didn't turn aside or stop, just carried on with the car driving slowly behind!

Don't worry hearts I'm all out of poo and wee ones!

Pleeeeeeaase please please no more poo / vomit / wee ones!

Remembered another one. In NZ many years ago. Late one Sunday night after watching the regular Sunday night horror movie (a NZ institution) BF and I had a bit of the wobbles so we went for a walk around the block. It was about 12:30. We walked past one house and, standing in the driveway was a man with a rifle and a dog, dressed all in black, leaning on the gatepost, peering around. We could tell it was a member of the Police Armed Offender's Squad, the only armed police unit in NZ that they bring out for the scary shit. He nodded at us and we continued walking down the street. In the next 4 driveways were more and more members of the squad, with guns and Police dogs, all calmly letting us walk past. They were all standing in absolute silence staring at a house across the street.

BF and I sprinted home and turned on the TV to check if there was standoff, but there was radio silence, not a mention at all. I sincerely hope it was a training exercise and we weren't just left to blithely walk between the police and some nutter with a gun.

Oh I got another one. Wee related this time, no poo.

I was in my local pub which has a late licence and doormen.
From the front door there's a corridor down to main bar area with a seating/dance floor area alongside it. The corridor is slightly sloping.

I was leaving at about 2am, and stopped in the corridor to talk to a friend who was stood in the seating area. As I was talking to him I looked at the front door and noticed a woman crouched in the doorway, with one of the doormen stood over her shouting. I was just about to say to my friend "has she got no trousers on" when I realised her trousers were round her ankles and she was pissing and the piss was running down the corridor and was about 3 inches from my feet!!!!
The doorman was shouting "LJ move out the way!!!" And my friend grabbed me and yanked me into the seating area.

It turned out she had been kicked out for being drunk&disorderly and was kicking off outside because she wanted to go back in to use the toilet. When they wouldn't let her back in she decided to just go in the doorway.

Classy bird.

Bus one...

Bus driver impatiently shut the doors just before a tiny (2 I'd say) kid could follow his mum off the bus. She was just struggling the buggy off, and let go of child's hand for a second. He was just ridiculous- lucky the kid wasn't hurt! Then proceeded to quote bus rules and regs: stop once and only at stops as he drove off (really fast) down the Uxbridge Road, fully aware he had a screaming baby on his bus and a screaming mum running to chase the bus and about 50 passengers saying "BUT IT'S A BABY! NOT A MOUTHY TEEN!" repeatedly.

Everyone immediately used their mobiles to call the complaint line. He then stopped the bus at the next stop, several people scooped up child and carried him at a jog back towards running mum to return him.
Bus driver refused to move bus on because we were "unreasonably" ringing his boss. So much for rules and regs when it suited him!
