Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

Years ago I was working as a detached youth worker and this particular night working in a part of the town I had never been to before.
I went with about 4 of the teenage girls to the COOP near by to pick up some bits for a baking session. A woman who I had never seen before in my life came up and was absolutely disgusted with me for some reason. She followed us around the store and was saying things ' who the hell do you think you are, just look at you!!' " you think you are really special dont you, well you're not" , that kind of thing.
Me and the kids were thinking who is she and what iis she on about? It was really nasty..
I hadn't done anything bad to anyone so I have no clue what that was about. It scared me a bit at the time because I had the girls with me and I didnt know what this woman was capable of.

My own mother told me my miscarriage was punishment from God for having premarital sex. I was when she said that.

For various reasons I no longer speak to her

When I was minding my own business the other day doing some tidying up in my front garden for winter and managed to attract the attention of one of my male neighbours, so much so that he walked his dog past my garden six times over that afternoon to try and every time tried to strike up conversation.

More perplexing is that I was wearing a massive Hello Kitty jumper which is now 7 dress sizes too big for me, pyjama bottoms tucked into purple tie dyed Care Bears socks with neon yellow crocs on my feet. I also had a leopard print headband slipping off the back of my head and hanging off my bun for a final little fashun flourish.

He asked me if I’d lived here long, how was I finding it, showed me where his house was, he even had a pretend chat with his dog on one of his laps about how he was “talking to the nice lady”. The stuff about how long I’d lived here is utter shite because my house is literally attached to his Mum & Dads house, and he lives around the corner. There is two houses in a semi-detached situation, my garden is shared with his parents, like they wouldn’t have mentioned over 18 months ago that next door had gone up for sale, and that 6 months after that the old family had moved out and a woman moved in.

I don’t know whether to find it all fucking creepy, or take it as light hearted flattery that despite my outfit I had still managed to attract suitors.

Saw someone with hair that went all the way to their ankles.

Sad one - at a pretty deserted UK beach and a group of young children, maybe 5 yrs old so in fact school outing, came down the steps leading to the beach. Reached the sand. It was obvious none of them had ever walked on sand before, any of them. They all freaked out a bit, struggled, several cried, several sat down and refused to move and one screamed blue murder and had to be carried the whole time.

I was WTF that not one of them had ever been to the seaside before. I understand there is poverty, and I spent 20 years living on a very deprived sink estate, but not 1 if them?

This is completely true. Once a week I go fishing at a fairly remote spot about ten minutes from a town center bus stop. The route to the river passes through a few fields with styles and gates-a fair few locals us it for dog walking etc. Im just going through a gate when a young lad going the opposite way passes me. This lad was, I guess late teen, early twenties? He was also strikingly handsome-i only mention this as it has a bearing on what happens next-when i say good looking I mean international model standard-he must spend all day beating off suitors (male or female) with a stick. I stop to let him pass and he asks me "Are you english?". My nutter rader is slightly piqued but no obvious cause for alarm just yet so I say "Yes, I am". Next question-"Can I suck you off?". I am a 60 year old bloke. WTAF?????? The only time in my life I have impersonated a goldfish.

Crowded train. A woman gets up and another prepares to take her seat. She unfolds her newspaper and fans the newly-free seat. It was so strange. She noticed me looking at her and said, “ass fumes, baby, they are very dangerous. You should never sit in someone else’s ass fumes.” I have taken the train for 40 years and never saw anyone doing it before or since.

Obviously a spy. You should have responded that the weather in Minsk is exceptionally clement.

Animal abuse…very sick man. I shudder to think of what he is capable of.

Must be a place beginning with B

@BalloonsAndWhistles are you in south Bristol perchance?

Saw a pretty and well put together teenage girl in her school uniform. All except the low hanging trousers like you see in rap videos. It was literally under her bottom and she had on boy boxers.
Confidently walking with other girls laughing with no care in the world. Admired her confidence but made me wtf for a moment.

Three:

We were driving along and saw MIL’s old card 20 years after she sold it. Weirdly enough, we’d only just been talking about it about 15 mins previously as she and DH bought identical cars with consecutive number plates when he was 20.

Our ex-neighbour was building a conservatory and informed us that once he took down the party wall, he would be removing our expensive patio and installing a soak away. We said absolutely not. The day before we moved, we came out to find him chopping up our patio with an angle grinder!! When challenged, he used the following insults (amongst others) “bellend” “fat” “knob” “territorial” of our own land and then accused us of making him and his missus feel like criminals when all they were trying to do was improve their home. BY MAKING OUR HOME SMALLER!!

I saw a man in a motorised wheelchair with a chicken on his head and lap. He was famous in our area.

I wish someone had reminded me before my grandmother's funeral that her youngest sister was almost identical to my nan. Like all the posters above, I got quite a shock!

@Lovethesun100 that's beautiful! I'm glad you got to have that day!

@Stinkyslippers and @Pudmyboy
A few years after my Dad had died, my brother got married. It happened that my Aunt from overseas was visiting her sister at this time, so these 2 sisters of my Dad came to the wedding which in turn encouraged their elderly remaining brother to come along as well.
I was stunned to see my uncle after so many years and to be reminded of my Dad. Everything about my uncle was my Dad reincarnated, the tilt of his head, features of his face, accent - it was all there. You know when people wish to spend a final day with a loved one, well this was exactly how this felt.

@Pudmyboy Thankfully, I haven't clapped eyes on her since his funeral. I thought for a while I had imagined it due to the fog I was in.

@kipperhips wtf?!

@Stinkyslippers I had something like this when my Dad died: mourners were gathering at his flat before going to the funeral. The doorbell rang, I opened the door, saw my Dad standing there. Just in time (before fainting) I noticed he had brown eyes when my Dad's were blue. It was Dad's brother who I hadn't seen since I was little. The double of my Dad except for eye colour. He even dressed in the same style!
Almost had to bury two people that day!

My dad bought his own (cardboard) coffin a few years back
It’s stored in his attic
I’ve had a few wtf?looks over that one!

When I was a kid I was brought up by my grandad
When I was 14 he died
Anyway,my uncle (his son) used to open up and show his garden off to raise money for charity
I hadn’t seen him since I was a kid myself but my mother summoned me to join in and bring the kids so she could show them off/him to meet his great niece and nephews
I’m standing there,holding my year old son when I heard ‘hello stinky,how are you?’
I turned to see who was speaking to me and to my utter shock,my grandad was standing there
I dropped my son and screamed (son was ok-just a bit shocked by suddenly being dropped)
Once I’d calmed down a bit,i had to go say sorry to my uncle-i got into trouble for scaring the poor man!

Honest to god that was the most wtf moment I’ve ever had-they looked like twins!

Ten minutes after my DH died my sister sat me down, knelt beside me, stared into my eyes and told me he had died because I had put it out to the universe.

Very late to the party but me and dh were in John Lewis and he spied a comfy computer chair and it was a grand!

We still shout out "a grand for a chair!"

A few months ago. I was looking out the window when a lady on a horse passed by. She was TEXTING! Completely blew my mind 🤯

I never imagined people text whilst riding a horse 😆 it was a complete wtf moment for me.
