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

We have a breastfeeding group that meets in a local building one afternoon a week. The same day at the same time another group meets. There are only ever two of them. One is a little old lady and one is a 6 foot man with stubble. He wears a dress, a wig and make up. He's very pleasant. But I just want to know whyyyy?!

viva we think the pilot may have lost it and either misjudged the angle or purposely did it. When we thought how close it was from the beach. But no explosion, just pfffft.

As I was leaving the grocery one day, there was a woman ahead of me who had several small children with her. The youngest, who was barely old enough to walk independently, was very focused on the banana her mother had given her and had fallen significantly behind the rest of the family. The parking lot was pretty busy but the mother just kept walking and didn't even look behind her for the child. Well, this brought on a feeling of fear in me that is usually reserved for my own child. I approached the child and guided her to her mother, who then looked at me like I was trying to steal her child, and began yelling at the child for falling behind the rest of them.

On a London bus, I'm sitting on one of the seats right behind the luggage hold thingie.

A woman gets on the bus, stands in front of me and says "Excuse me, can I sit down?". I look at her, a bit confused, because she does not look disabled, but then I remember that many disabilities are not obvious to the naked eye.

In the split second that took me to think the above, she screams at me "I said can I sit down, you fucking bitch!!!". I've never got out of a seat so quickly. She kept screaming at me as I scuttled to the back of the bus, where nice people asked me if I was ok.

All of this at 8am on a Monday morning

Standing in the school playground one time waiting for kick-out time when I hear the slow clopping of hooves. One of the travellers had come to pick up their nursery kids on horseback. There's now a sign on the schoolgates that reads 'no bikes, no dogs, no horses'.

Another horsey one, came back from a night out in a taxi about 2am to discover a herd of about thrity horses just ambling down the street. This is not shocking any more, it's happened half a dozen times.

Oh, and the sight of six kids on four horses galloping down the main road. One of the kids I knew was about ten, she was in my daughter's class at school. Not a helmet (nor indeed a saddle) between them.

Oh, and the guy walking through the city centre this winter dressed in a leather jacket, big boots and very tight leather fetish shorts...

I took a pied wagtail on a train once. Much smaller than a guillemot though.

A while ago I was out clubbing in a more upmarket club in student town, the club had a beach theme. So the club had a stage and on that stage was a hot tub. They let two guys and two girls paddle in as it was basically a paddling pool. I turned round to look at my friend and back again and the men were stark naked swinging their pride and glory but they only stopped when they got bored or cold. We were like it's a posh club.

Same night I was picked up when I was dancing and the bloke ran off with me over his shoulder like "me Tarzan you jane" that was scary as I'm tiny.

I bet it was pretty mortifying for the woman in the traffic jam though. What if she had been stuck for hours and really needed to go?

I wouldn't have pooped on the roadside. If I was really desperate, I would have at least gone behind a bush!!

Whether it's a penguin or a guillemot, what would make anyone think it's okay to catch it (how did she manage that anyway) and take it on a train?

I can't think of anything particularly jaw-dropping compared with all the public pooing. (I've never seen anyone poo in public. Which is good. Though work legend has it that before my time, someone apparently pooed in the dishwasher at work following the announcement of a big round of redundancies.)

The last time I remember my jaw-dropping was at work when I was with HR making a complaint about a manager, and when the response was, "I've only ever heard good things about him," I was literally open-mouthed with shock. But actually, it was probably true - most people have either put up with his bullying, or left and said they've got another job even when it's really because they're fed up with the bullying.

In the park walking my dog with my two small dc. As we left a big exuberant dog bounded up and started harassing my little timid dog. His owner and her friend were yelling for him but he refused to come back. By this point my two dc both aged under 5 (both with ASD, so little road sense) were going out the park gate to the car. I carried on walking to catch up to them and big dog came too, still hassling my dog.

Eventually the owner caught up with her disobedient dog and proceeded to lay into me verbally for not waiting for her to retrieve her dog and leading him out of the park apparently I should have abandoned my children to their fate while waiting for her to cross the park. Her mate caught up and joined in with her! Two shrieking women

I actually laughed in her face and told her she was mad if she thought my responsibility towards her dog was greater than towards my own children. Then turned my radio up to a high volume to drown her out and screeched away leaving her and her friend mouthing behind me.

I posted about it in AIBU actually and got a rare 100% YANBU.

About two weeks after 9/11 I saw a passenger plane fly the full length of my road about 50 feet above the houses while accompanied by two fighter jets. Totally freaked me out. Never found out why.

Yeas ago on a foggy day I saw four cavaliers (Civil War soldiers, not the cars) coming through the mist towards me. Once again I was pretty freaked out, then I noticed they were carrying shopping bags, and realised they must be from some kind of re-enactment society

My mum saw a man have a poo on the pavement outside a very naice tearooms in the West Country.

I went to pick up lunch from M&S and whilst walking through the clothes department and overheard some couple arguing about the amount the wife has in her trolley, (turns out her husband had been calculating it up and it was £200+) when he told her to put some stuff back she hit him in the balls and shouted "why should I you had an affair" everyone stopped wide eyes and looked at him. He quickly followed that with "fine, keep it" never seen someone look so ashamed before!

I can't think of anything but the penguin/guillemot has me in stitches.

I did have a moment today of a more minor scale. Was on a dual carriageway. Dh moved out of right lane into the left to let a zooming motor bike past. Just as it over took a bloody great buzzard came hurtling down missing the motor bike man (and us to a certain extent) by a hairs breadth to land on the median.

Could you imagine the police report had the bike and the buzzard collided?

I was in a small traffic jam in a small local town - nothing much, just a bit of a queue for an awkward junction. In front was a sports car & in front of that a girl on a big horse. The bloke in the sports car kept revving up & creeping close behind the horse which was now dancing about a bit. The rider kept glaring over her shoulder & making "back off" gestures - no use. Eventually she made the horse reverse till it literally sat on the bonnet & dented it! He was furious

A good few years ago while a student a group of us had gone to a bit of a dive as the beer was cheap. Went to the loo and there's a women, skirt hitched up around her waist peeing away with the loo door wide open.

My drink addled brain picked up that something wasn't quite right. As she finished all I heard was "ah fuck, forgot me knickers". She then pulled her pee soaked knickers off, wrung them out in the sink and tried to dry them with hand drier. Except she could barely stand so asked me to help. I was pretty pissed myself but not that pissed

Gosh what is it with poo in such public places!? I can add to this..someone had a poo in the sauna where I work. just pooed and left it there for the poor assistant to find.

Also, had people have sex in the jacuzzi...grim

My mind has gone blank at things I've seen, but the most horrifying thing I've ever heard was when a friend was having a meal with her partner (both women) and two men went into the restaurant just to verbally and physically abuse them. As in, holding one of them by the throat up against the wall for having the audacity to be gay.

Thankfully they were both caught and jailed but that was no thanks to the restaurant staff who did nothing till the men ran out

I went to see Dracula the Ballet (really great) and a lot of the audience were dressed up. Someone behind me in a long Victorian dress dropped their programme and I handed it back to her. Except 'her' was a 'him'. Don't get me wrong, whatever floats your boat but it made me blink.

So did the person on the bus dressed as a green elf. DH told me he probably worked at the elf service. He got his coat.

Mine was probably the time I asked my boss at the time if I could be trained in testing electrical items. He looked heavily suspicious and then said, outright, "I'm not being funny, but I like my girls to stay on tills."

Another grim one from the same pub.

A rough looking guy aged around mid-50s came into the bar at lunchtime. He was with a girl who didn't speak English, around 17 years old. I don't know how they had come to be in each other's company, she seemed to be under the impression he was just buying her lunch.

When he was at the bar he was saying all sorts of obscene things about what he was going to do to her, and she was utterly, utterly oblivious. She wanted a soft drink and he was trying to get me to put alcohol in it.

When they left I ran upstairs and got my friend out of the kitchen. We followed them down the street and into the supermarket they disappeared into. We waited til he walked down an aisle to look for something and accosted her, basically communicating that he was a dodgy fucker and didn't have good intentions and got her to come back to the pub with us leaving the weirdo behind.

This is a really horrible one :(

Very drunk lady used to come in the pub we worked in and chat to the landlord. I think he had been sympathetic to her when she came in from the bus stop outside once or twice.

Anyway, she obviously had a drink problem and used to come rolling in very very drunk. One time she was SO drunk and had missed her last bus home.

Landlord took her home, I went too, as I think he wanted to cover his back as it were.

Pulled up outside her house and her DH came out to the front of the house, she got out of the car and he hooked her round the neck with a walking stick and dragged her into the house :(

*an hour later

A woman who lives on my road got absolutely steaming drunk, walked down our road, stopped, pulled her pants down, pissed, and walked off.

Anyway about an hour earlier im in the back garden having a fag when i hear a commotion, so i go to have a nosey, the drunk woman (who is in her 60's) has tried to climb into the field behind our row of houses and had got her cardigan and hair tangled in the barbed wire, screaming and shouting at other neighbours who are trying to help her out, the farmer who owns the field turned up and called the police.

I was like this at the whole thing!

Animals, I'm so angry for you!

at the Bridlington 'penguin' though. How on earth did she catch a guillemot?

What happened to the plane? Had it crashed or just went out of sight?
