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

We live at the bottom of a ruddy great hill, which is also a very busy road. One day, waiting at the bus stop, a guy on a bike comes hurtling past, carrying a toddler with one arm while peddling furiously.

Cardamomginger we did wonder that

Late at night waiting for the last train at the station. The track was up a flight of stairs and there was also an elevator. There was a glass wall surrounding the elevator bit. A girl needed to pee and was too drunk to find the bathroom so she squatted against aforementioned glass wall. We got a good view of her bare bum squashed against the glass... The floor however was made out of one of these grids, so her pee dripped straight down onto the head of an innocent man!

I used to live in a horrible flat in a horrible crime ridden part of London. One night about 10pm, I heard a load of noise near the communal bin area- sawing noises and dragging sounds. I looked out to see two men with a hacksaw dragging huge -really huge- chunks of flesh out of bags and cutting them up on top of the bins before slinging the chunks back into bags and into the boot of their car. It went on for about twenty minutes. Now, obviously, at this time of night and given the location, it looked dodgy. I rang the police after five minutes who came out immediately, questioned them, and then contacted me to say they were from the local halal butcher and had been 'portioning' the left over meat from some carcass to take home.

On a bin.

In the dark.

With a hacksaw.

But at least it wasn't a corpse.

Darthula, I am poorless with Laughter and dd and dh are like

2 incidents come to mind:

The time I was in a shopping centre and a woman slipped in a banana skin!

Sitting on a very busy bus, at the back, woman with lots of bags sits opposite, much rearranging, after a few stops look up to see where we were only for her to sneeze right in my face!! Initial reaction was to tell her off, so I did, but half way through realised whole bus was looking/trying not to look but I'd gone too far and couldn't back out! Ended it with saying "let that be a lesson to you all" to the entire bus and went back to my book

Just thought, it would've been very early 90s I think. We were stood on the bend right outside Chester Racecourse after a meet there, everyone was piling out of the main gates and it was really crowded. The traffic was at a standstill on our side of the road.

Suddenly we heard a bit of a commotion.
There was a well known bearded Liverpool actor who'd previously been a main character in a soap, really sounding off at the other occupants of a black cab he'd been ejected from. It looked as though is was two couples who'd had a long day out with plenty of 'hospitality' He was loud, very red faced and ranting.

The taxi under instruction from one of the women, turned on a sixpence and managed to make off from the Racecourse leaving said actor in the middle of the road looking rather dishevelled and none too pleased.

Everyone just stood gawping, but it wasn't being filmed for anything

Not jaw dropping OMG moments like some of these but I never forgot years back in Manhattan seeing an extremely smart groom striding past some brown stone buildings with a bulldog on a lead.
The bulldog was in full and very elaborate bridal regalia including fresh red roses.

I wish I'd had a camera

shockedballoon I used to go to that tequila night...

About ten years ago I went out to the bars with my friend and she invited her friend. FOF was a tiny little punk-ish woman; we were all early 20's but she looked like a nine year old. Just teeny.

Anyway, we're leaving the bar, pretty tanked, and on the sidewalk outside there was a huge unpleasant man screaming at his girlfriend :(. I mean proper in her face screaming, calling her all sorts of names, and the woman was just cowering in a way that made me think he was certainly physically abusive.

We were looking for the bouncer when FOF marches over (all 80 pounds of her, if that) and shouts "hey! You don't talk to her like that!"

Huge man bends down (and he truly was a few feet taller) and says "nobody asked you, bitch," in the most menacing tone I've ever heard.

FOF, without a moment's hesitation, balls up her miniature hand and punches him square in the face. Just completely decked him, and one hell of a lot harder than I'd have thought such a small person could.

THEN, again without hesitating, she takes off running, which was probably clever as he didn't seem like the type of man who would balk at hitting a woman. She gets about a block away, turns around, flips the double bird, screams "motherFUCKER" at him, and turned around and ran all the way to a friend's house several blocks away. (We found out later.)

I have never laughed so hard in my life. I just remember her tiny child-sized red Converse speeding away in the dark and that great big asshole bully standing There with his hand on his face like he couldn't believe it.

OMG, recall! You were saved by your satnav! That's got to be a first.

During the storms recently, I was driving down our long drive, and had to stop to sort out my sat nav. I looked up just in time to see a HUGE pine tree, go right over, it was about 20 feet away from me. The roots all came up and everything, it took about 3 seconds. I just sat there staring.

Fanciful, a seagull did that with my freshly-unwrapped sarnie from Pret! The seagulls in West Sussex have more pretentious tastes than those in Cornwall ...

... Are you sure it wasn't a penguin?

i was woken up by lots of splashing one night and feeling really puzzled about it so i looked out my window and saw my neighbours having sex in their kids paddling pool

Not as funny as a lot of these but...

Was on holiday in Cornwall a few years ago and decided to take the girls to the zoo. We took a picnic and when it was lunch time sat to eat. My eldest (then 3) was about to take a bite of a wagon wheel (her favorite) when this massive guillemot (well, i think it was anyway) swoops down, snatches it out of her hand and flies back up again... a stunned silence ran round the table while her bottom lip wobbles and her eyes fill up with tears, me and DP look at each other waiting for the inevitable wail of heartbreak, holding our breath and then she says "Can I get my face painted now?"

Perhaps he had the Prince Albert fitted specifically in order to have somewhere to put his keys .

We accidentally parked by the nudist beach on holiday in the south of France once so walked through it to get to the main beach. On the way we saw a middle aged man who had worked out a rather ingenious place to keep his keys. Attached to his Prince Albert

Fili that's terrifying!

I saw a lady pit her suitcases and pushchair on a train and was just about to get on herself when the doors closed and the train started moving

however luckily someone raised the alarm and the train stopped 200 yards up the line , poor lady was in tears

When I was 18 I lived in St Tropez for a year. One evening a friend and I had gone to the local bar for a drink and a man started talking to us. When my friend went to the toilet, this man held open his jacket and showed me a knife in his inside pocket whilst saying nothing but looking at me and smiling. It was proper OMG!

My friend came back and I told her very quickly in English (so he wouldn't understand) what had happened. We pretended to go to the toilet together and the person behind the bar let us go out the back. We ran all the way back to our houses. We were terrified but had to pretend that everything was ok. We never saw him again.

Two Swiss stories:

DW and I were walking up to Blumlisalphutte above Kandersteg when we hear excited laughter, and a couple come leaping down the snowfield. Below the knees they're wearing gaiters and boots, they've got ski poles and rucksacks. He's in speedos, she's in a bikini. Fair enough. Then the clag comes down and it starts snowing so we turn back. Two turns of the path, and there they are. The boots are still on, nothing else is, and she's keeping his ears warm. So we crouch shivering behind a rock until the gladsome cries have finished.

Three days later in the packed train up to Jungfraujoch, the two women opposite get kitted up for ice climbing by stripping to their knickers. Being British, I murmur "entschuldigen sie, bitte" while staring at the ceiling. "Keine problem, danke" says one. DW makes an odd noise, which she tell me later was caused by by a nipple in the eye.

On the Northern line last year, train about to leave the station, the beeps go - and a couple come running towards the door with a pushchair. The man shout 'quick!' and the woman shoves the pushchair onto the train and the doors close ON THE PUSHCHAIR. Everyone on the train gasped but luckily it was a sturdy pushchair and the toddler in it was fine. The parents didn't seem bothered at all, on the contrary they were quite chuffed to have got the train.

Minifingers, I also remember watching it as it unfolded.

The first plane had gone in, and we were al OMG how could this happen.

Then the horrible moment where the second plane went in, and everybody realised it wasn't and accident, but an attack.

The people on top floors jumping out of windows, and one waving a handkerchief.

The firemen going in to save people, then dying when it all collapsed.

It was truly the most shocking thing I have ever seen on TV
