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

A very sad, though surreal one. I was walking down Seven Sisters Road in North London in December 2012 and saw a man come flying out forcibly from the window of the upper deck of a moving bus, the entire window falling with him, and landing really badly on his head on the edge of the pavement. Half the bus got off and passersby tried to help him until the ambulance arrived. Apparently he'd been attacked and kicked so violently he flew backwards through the window.

I completely forgot about it, and we left London shortly after, until there was CCTV footage of it on a Routemasters documentary this year. The perpetrator was found but found not guilty in court, and the victim is paralysed.

Reminded by another post. A friend of a friend once told in low tones at a dinner party how she had seen a supernatural vision of riders and horses looming soundlessly out of the mist at dawn on Oxford St. I did consider leaving her to her delusions, and not point out that the Household Cavalry regularly exercises its horses at 7 or 7.30 in the area, but I started getting annoyed at the way she was embellishing it - saying they were dressed in 19th c clothes, and the horses hooves made no noise, and they suddenly disappeared. I could have saved my breath. She refused to believe me, and said that what she saw was definitely ghostly.

Never seen a ferret but I've seen someone out with a rabbit on a lead and a harness, that was pretty weird.

My friend has a couple of Ferrets she regularly walks on a lead. It's something I've always known and is fairly common in these parts.

I see ferrets on leads fairly often, I thought that was fairly normal.....am I wrong?!

About 20 years ago I was on holiday in the South of Frnace, having lunch at a harbour. The last thing I expected to see was a Michael clarke Duncan look-alike strolling past, with a guinea pig on his shoulder.

On holiday in Menorca a few years ago, I also did not expect to see a tornado heading straight towards me, over the sea!

In an all you can eat Chinese once, we didn't realise how rough it was until we went in. Two men in their early 20s come in with 2 girls in their late teens, one of whom is very heavily pregnant. All drunk as skunks except pregnant girl.

Man repeatedly snipes at them all, tearing strips off non-pregnant girl for about 30 minutes until finally pregnant girl snaps. She jumped up and threw her pint of coke out of its glass over her shoulder (all over lady behind her) and smashed it over his head. His head was pouring with blood, there was glass in all the buffet and they are launching themselves at each other.

Chinese waitress comes out of back armed with a butter knife and a side dish and throws them out. She backed them down the stairs pointing this butter knife at them.

I have never been as in my life as it just came out of nowhere and was all over in about 2 minutes.

Blue yes...I did attribute my odd sighting to the hospital at the time.

Camberwell Green/Denmark Hill Folk there's a psychiatric hospital opposite King's.

The day I drove down a seedy side street to see a man injecting what I assume was heroin into his leg. He was stood under a street light with his trousers at half mast, presumably because the shops on the larger streets had those blue lights fitted to stop that happening.
I was genuinely shocked and also terribly saddened by it as it seemed such a wretched existence :(

Another one which was more 'did I just see that?' Than OMG..
On weekend trip down South, camping in a lovely tranquil spot with some friends, woke to the sound of jingling bells. Looked out of the tent to see a large group of Morris Dancers in full kit including clogs wandering towards our area. Being an ex dancer it didn't really phase me until I saw the chap at the back carrying a large drum. Totally naked except for socks and clogs. They greeted us with a cheery 'good morning Ladies' and went on their merry way...

Superbagpuss I loved it when I saw them. It felt magical. They've moved to Woolwich now I think so there's no more utterly gorgeous men riding holding horses on either side through London streets. I used to swoon at the bus stop. Later in life when I was doing the school run by car I wasn't always as enthusiastic.

Thanks for clarifying m'dear. Although, ewww ewww ewww. And why the blinking hell did all those people have to watch? I know the answer really. Morbid fascination. Tut.

Many years ago, before 24 hour opening, I worked night shifts in Tesco. I'd usually go for lunch around 1am and would walk to the staff canteen through the clothing section.

This particular night I noticed underneath the changing room door was littered with Kinder Egg wrappers. Thinking we'd had a thief in the day I went in intending to gather up wrappers and log the thefts, I pushed open the cubicle door and came face to face with a sleeping child, aged about 8. When I'd picked my jaw up off the floor I gently woke him, picked him up and carried him towards the staff canteen and my manager.
My manager was late 40's, no kids and no experience of children so when he saw the child his first words were "Do you have any papers?". It all became quite surreal by then, we reminded him we weren't in Nazi Germany and called the Police.

I took him to the canteen, sat him down with a donut and we had a chat whilst waiting for the Police. He told me his name, told me his Mum had got remarried and his Step Dad didn't like him very much and now he had a baby brother they preferred him. It was all desperately sad. The Police arrived, told me he did it on a regular basis and that he was a 'troubled' kid. They told me 'next time' don't feed him because he will be back.

True to the Officers word he did come back, several times. So much so we had to implement a policy with security to check all hiding places before store lock up. This continued for about 6 months until finally he stopped coming. I've often wondered over the years what became of him, he'll be an adult now. I hope it worked out ok for him.

In a smallish M&S one Summer I was looking at the sandals on the display rack close to the doors. A woman walked in, stood next to me, picked up a pair of sandals, bent down to try them on and then walked out of the shop wearing the sandals. It all happened so quickly, it took me some time to work out that she must have slipped her old flip flops in her bag and just brazenly walk out.

I've noticed the shoe racks in that branch are now in the depths of the store, nowhere near any doors.

Friend at uni was doing pretty badly in her degree, so she had an idea for an alternate career - hardcore fetish porn.

She was really proud when she got her first shoot, and insisted on showing the pictures to us all. She'd been vacuum-sealed into a rubber suit so tightly you could see her pube stubble.

Wow, bagpuss, that sounds rather fabulous! But I love horses in the city anyway. Always have to stop for an admiring gander at police horses and restrain myself from going over and stroking their noses

Two elderly and rather rotund women ordering and scoffing cakes in a quiet Christian cafe. I saw them put cakes in their pockets and once they had finished their cups of tea, they both ran out out without paying.
