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

ooh the tiger pissing ones remind me, when I was little we used to go to Chester Zoo all the time. One visit there were some horrible boys taunting the tiger, yelling and poking sticks (couldn't get them actually into the cage but making their intentions clear).

The tiger eventually got fed up with them, strolled over, aimed perfectly and pissed all over them. Very satisfying to watch!

Ilove reminded me...
A black shiny carriage, think wedding/funeral pulled by a pair of beautiful black Freesian horses in full show harness complete with black plumes on their heads, at the drive through mcdonalds in our town centre!

When as an impressionable fifteen year old, our catholic secondary school hit the front page of the News of the World as my French teacher had been found having sex with underage pupils, and posing for obscene photos in front of the blackboard with the music teacher!

In terms of 'can't believe my eyes' things, we were once driving back from somewhere along the M40, stepdad driving and me and DB in the car (we must have been late teens/early 20s so not young children).

A black car zoomed up the fast lane past us, then went across all three lanes of traffic in one go without indicating, onto the hard shoulder then up the grass slope and took off the top, literally flying into the trees. DSD pulled over and we sat there wondering if we really had seen it, a couple of other cars stopped too. DB ran into the trees and the car was there, wedged into them. Remarkably the driver was ok - he's obviously had a fit or something but was conscious and unhurt. I will never get over the thought that he managed to cross all three lanes of a busy motorway without clipping anyone else.

yes blue, I know - I am rather more referring to those who had either completely escaped without permission or has nothing to do with the psych hosp. I think I can turn a blind eye to most bizarre things esp when attributable to illness, it's the other ones that were worrying!

Sorry I have another poo one. Years ago I used to stay with my Mum and step dad on this rough estate in Essex where their flat was. Some parents were standing outside the shops chatting outside our window with their kids running round the green with some other kids on their own. A little girl went whining to her mum about something (couldn't hear as was on balcony) but mum told her something so off the girl trotted, pulled down her knickers and done a massive shit on the green. She wasn't like overly young to, about 5? Que the group of lads there one of them with a thick scottish accent shouting "oi shit arse" and the woman just completely ignored it like it was normal doing a poo on the green!

As a wee 'un I used to work on Brighton Pier. My all-time moment was when a guy who was being marched off the pier by a security guard for being drunk and disorderly took off his prosthetic leg and proceeded to chase-hop after the security guard, brandishing his leg like a club. We couldn't move for laughing, the security guard was laughing even as he was running away - he'd have got an almighty smack round the head if he'd been caught!

Standing in the baggage reclaim hall waiting for my suitcase to appear on the carousel. Nearby was the lost/found baggage kiosk with tons of suitcases piled up. A young girl was complaining to her mother about needing the loo. Despite the fact that there are loos in the hall, the mother was too concerned about missing her suitcase (evidently nobody had told her they do come back around again) and instructed her DD to 'just go over there.'

So the girl went and crouched in the middle of all the suitcases and peed on the floor I was only young myself at the time so didn't say anything, but I've never forgotten it!

Mine's not that jaw dropping, but OMG -

standing in long a queue in a park and the lady (loosely used) in front of us poked her finger nail up her child's nose, rummaged and hooked out a bogey, inspected and flicked it, all the while chatting to her friend.

Wooden Hindu statues drinking milk.

Ooh found it!

I knew I hadn't dreamt it.

Am I dreaming it or was there a lovely story on the news a few years back about the sergeant of the cavalry treating the soldiers to an early morning Macdonalds breakfast in a drive through? I'm sure I read somewhere about the horses, out on excercise, all assembled at Macdonalds at about six in the morning?

Will have to google now.

In Savers in my town of SE London last year there was a Nigerian man happily doing his shopping who was then stopped by a white man saying 'why are you following me? Everywhere I've been today, you're there' - the Nigerian man attempted to say I'm not doing anything but he wasn't listening to reason and the staff tried to intervene. Eventually they had to threaten this man with calling the police - the funniest thing was the white man had no shopping basket or bags with him so it looked as though it was most likely the white man following the Nigerian man!
Sadly, my best friend witnessed a kidnapping and reported it to the police - very scary gang of Eastern European man bundling a screaming man into the car, she never heard back but doubt the outcome there was good

I also saw a weird plane incident when I was about seven and playing in my Auntie's garden one Saturday afternoon with my cousins - it was definitely a Saturday as we used to go every week. They lived on a small holding with no houses nearby, just a busy A road and an industrial estate.

A huge jumbo jet flew right over the garden, it was very, very low. As low as you would expect a plane to be if you were stood at the end of a runway watching them taking off. There were two much smaller planes, possibly fighter jets, either side of it and they were sort of flying in a formation together.

It was bizarre. They didn't live anywhere near an airport, and as far as I know no one else saw it. My cousins are younger that me and don't remember it at all. The only explanations I can think of is that it was some kind of air show passing by, or it was terrorist related and the jet was sign escorted somewhere. This was the late 80's or early 90's so around the time of the Lockerbie bombing so not beyond the realms of possibility.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else saw it as it's always left me puzzled.

It's so annoying when you are on the bus behind them

A horrible one was sitting on a bus in Glasgow city centre,and looking out the window,seeing a woman run right out in front of the bus i Was on.

I can still picture her very clearly,and I had maybe one or two seconds to see her and realise that it was impossible for the driver to avoid her. It felt much longer though,and I costed my eyes,not wanting to see the inevitable. I couldn't ignore though the very audible thud as the bus hit her.

Getting off that bus to go around to see how she was awful. I knew I had to,but I didn't know what I'd see.

Nothing compared to these,but I was very when a man on a bus,quite obviously a drug addict, deliberately sneezed in the face of another passenger. It was disgusting. He was about a foot away from him at the time.

Also I saw a very near miss when a two year old boy suddenly bolted while walking along with his mother,who was pushing a pram. He was heading towards a very busy road,and ran across. She let go of the pram to run after him,the pavement was sloped and the pram continued onto the road,and started to turn then tip. The driver was just able to brake in time,or both the baby in the pram and the toddler would have been hit. That still shakes me u. I was on the opposite side so couldn't get there in time to do anything about it.

Our gardener when I was a child had a pet pig. He used to take it shopping with him on a lead and it waited for him outside shops.
Perfectly normal IMO

I saw someone walking a small pig in an inner city suburb of Melbourne, once. Nearly fell off my bike.

Mine is an awful one.
It was the local carnival fun day when I was a kid and one of the events was a stuntman whose trick was to dive off a massive tower and land on a pile of mattresses.
He missed the mattresses. An ambulance came.
Luckily he survived but was very seriously injured.

A man sitting on a bench on a busy street stroking a Guinea Pig. Saw them twice more after that.

I've seen many a man in garish nightclub-esque drag. Check.
Many a man in regular women's clothing complete with wigs and makeup. Check.
To see a large and burly man sporting a traditional and sparkly wedding type saree outfit complete with matching sequinned scarf. Mmmm, not so much! He was fiddling around with nail polish to as I went past. Ha!

I'm remembering another one.. When I was I think just turned twenty I was admitted for a few nights to hospital. I was allowed to leave the ward freely on the last day, and went to the shop a couple of times for something to eat.

The hospital I was in is huge, absolutely massive. It's built in such a way that if you start at one end you can complete a full circuit using different corridors. It's about a miles walk.

To lengthen my walks to the shop I did half this circuit. One time I ended up sort of following a pair of nurses. One was pushing a wheelchair, the other pushing a cart.

We had to stop for lifts at the end of the walk to get back to wards. It was then I realised nurse one had a man in the wheelchair, who was ventilated with tracheostomy, looked wholly unaware of his surroundings, on all sorts of drips and drains etc.

The nurse behind him was carrying a crash cart with oxygen and defib etc.

The whole time they had been talking to the guy as if everything was completely normal, asking him what he thought of the new wall murals, if he could see the seagulls.

I was shocked at how ill he was and at the fact that they were taking him for a walk - their treatment of him, from what I could see, was just lovely.

Travelling by bus through the city centre and an old lady of about 80 got on wearing a nike tracksuit with an old style ghetto blaster on her shoulder - it was playing 'Rambling Rose' full blast.

The funniest part though was the driver who just said 'thanks love' after she had shown her bus pass - just as though it was an everyday thing.

I know several people who have leads for their rabbits too! I used to have one for my rabbit but only used it in the garden, he loved it!!!
