I want to hear examples from your experiences. Like when someone drops the facade for a second and you see something a bit scary about them, or when someone reasonable comes out with something utterly ludicrous and you've no idea how to react. I want to hear them! Because earlier today, I found out that my neighbours daughter doesn't have identical twins called Ronnie and Jensen, which was my assumption. She has one boy called Jensen, but my neighbour hates the name and will only call him Ronnie. The boy is six. His middle name isn't even Ronnie. His grandma just prefers that name and calls him that. [confused]

Years ago, ds had been asking for a dog for quite sometime. I was watering the front garden and had both the front and back doors of the garage open, which led into the back garden.
So there I am watering my hydrangeas when out of nowhere a dog flies past me through the garage into the back garden.
I go to investigate and find a dog hiding in a shrub in the back garden, as I’m shouting of my husband to come see another dog comes flying through my garage!!!
DS was beyond excited thinking all his Christmas’s had a come at once.
Thankfully we were able to swiftly find all the owners that evening. But it was a real WTF moment.

@ParvaAvis

A university friend told me about his best friend who insisted his girlfriend wear layers upon layers of skirts when they had sex, like 15 or 20 skirts: he liked to take them off, one by one, to get to ‘the prize’! 😂. Who would ever admit to that, best friend or not?!

Same university friend, was married, they both lived in a bed-sit type flat. They often had some creepy guy peeking through their letterbox late at night, watching ‘what they’re up to!’ Why oh why didn’t my friend do something about it?!!!

When I was at university, I lived in a shared house, we all had our own bedrooms etc. Some guy that I shared the house with (he lived there with his long-term girlfriend) used to come into my bedroom in the early hours after a night on the tiles, and say ‘hi, you’re so beautiful etc’. It used to freak me out so I put a bolt on my door and the door would often rattle early-hours with him trying to get in! He never remembered anything about it the next day, would greet me normally as a housemate etc.

I’m sure I can think of more examples...

My brother once worked with someone who claimed he had no need for a girlfriend as he could give himself blow jobs (Foot up on the bathroom sink and bend over,bro said) I really don’t want to know what they where chatting about for that to come up but my bro worked there for about 10 years and said this chap never had a girlfriend but he did seem to spend a lot of time when he popped to the loo…

My DP lived in Bath years ago and I asked him if he had seen Shit Wig Man. It rang a bell but when I read out to him about the PP who lived in Walcott Street and he was around that area he said yes he remembered him too.

Learning sign language. The teacher is deaf but is brilliant at getting us to understand her and a really good teacher. She has some facial disfigurement.
There is a guy in the class. He’s had a cochlear implant fitted as he is going to lose his hearing so is learning to sign too.
On a break, when the teacher is out of the room, he declares that he knew her before this class and has been to her house but her husband asked him to leave when he overheard him talking to other guests about “you know, how her face looks funny”
WTF?!
I mean, having been ejected by her husband because it’s a despicable thing to say once, at any time, never mind in her own home when you are an invited guest -why repeat the shitty thing you said? Who even thinks like that?

@2018SoFarSoGreat

couple more:

On full commuter bus, in busy 6 lane street downtown, I glanced out to see the huge van next to was being driven (if you can call it that) by someone playing a trombone. A full sized trombone. I carefully squeezed myself as far away as possible, as their vehicle was weaving all over the place.

On a cross country flight, in first class. Regular commute and often saw same people coming and going. This time a man came to sit next to me. It was winter, and chilly so for the first part of the flight I had my legs up (reclined, with footrest) and covered with a blanket. When it warmed up, I pushed the blanket aside. I was wearing a skirt suit, modest length, and fishnet tights. Nothing flash about me, honestly.

From the corner of my eye,, I saw my neighbor did a double take as soon as I pushed the blanket away. His head went up to my face, down to legs, back up and back down. I pretended not to notice, and continued reading my book. Needless to say I was hyper aware, but ignored him. Two hours go by, he's had a couple or 3 drinks, and he finally says "Excuse me. Ahem." Was wearing headphones, so could pretend not to hear him at first, but then acknowledge him once he leans slightly into me, so that I cannot ignore him. "Yes?"

"Can I touch them?"

"sorry?"

"Can I touch them?"

Pointing at my legs. I could have shriveled up. I quickly put my seat upright, covered myself as much as possible with the blanket, and turned my entire body away from him. The next hours were excruciating.

WTF?

Ewww, creepy leg guy!!

Made me remember when I was a 16 year old trying on some red strappy heels in Barrett's. It was the year 2000, and so typically they had plastic jewels or diamanté on them and I really wanted some that were plain. So I was trying on loads and looking in the mirror. I was wearing a short denim skirt and I clocked a bloke sitting on the stools and watching me. He noticed and came over and said "sorry, but are your feet size seven??" I said "yeah, why?" He explained that he was purchasing a surprise outfit for his girlfriend as he was taking her to the theatre and asked if I'd try on a pair of shoes while he held the dress up to make sure they didn't make the lower legs look short, which was apparently something she hated. I, being a fairly compliant kid and thinking that was dead romantic went "ok, sure" and slipped on the pair of black stilettos he chose and stood there while he suddenly whipped out and held up a very obviously old slithery satin and black lace negligee type garment. I was feeling very wtf at this point, but literally had no idea what to say! He fixed his eyes on my feet and said, very deliberately, "Now. Take. Them. Off...... go on. Just step out of them. Take them off and tell me where you got your nail polish. Do you paint them yourself? Could I paint them?........"
And I'm just standing there utterly aghast and struck dumb! Suddenly, a very overweight security guard with a crackly radio loomed in the doorway from the street and said "Oi!! Away from the lass!!" And the guy bundled up his dusty nightie and literally fled while the security guard wheezed and muttered into his crackly walkie talkie and got completely unintelligible messages back.

I went to see a friend who was living,temporarily, in a hotel. The owners had decided to also take in homeless youngsters. I was standing looking out of the kitchen window and a woman wondered past with a naked dude, with a collar and leash and gimp mask on.
I'm all for live and let live, but there were vulnerable teens there. I made the charity, who was placing the kids there, aware of this incident and also told them of the bdsm barn.
I have never laughed so much, he was overweight and was not well endowed. I also wished for a bucket of eye bleach.

@mybrainhertz

These two cats are arch enemies. Quite why they are happily sitting next to each other is a mystery.

But looking at the one on the right, you can tell by the position of his ears that he is pissed off

DeusEx · 27/05/2021 20:18

Why would you post this @SomethingToldTheWildGeese?
Just makes everyone else upset too. I really wish I hadn’t read this. 😕

Got my WTF moment right now. Who thought this was the right thing to write on a bathroom bin liner ????

Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

LalalalalalaLand123 · 27/05/2021 19:43

he pointed at us and yelled "and you go the fuck back inside your whore mothers!"

How totally bizarre!!!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 27/05/2021 18:27

just remembered another.

got on the metro with a friend.
we stepped inside quickly to allow a dude behind us to get on before doors got shut.
but he just stood on the platform, stared at us and about 5 secs before the doors shut he pointed at us and yelled "and you go the fuck back inside your whore mothers!"

AlexCabot · 27/05/2021 18:21

I was once in bed, quite late at night with the window open because it was warm out.
Overheard two fellas outside discussing their plan to rob the shop up the road (shop would be closing in ten minutes so I suppose they thought the till would be full).
I knew that the police probably wouldn't get there in time so I phoned the shop and suggested they locked up early.

They did and after a half hearted attempt to get in the wannabe robbers legged it.

I got a lovely bottle of wine from the shop owner next time I went in!

@JustJoinedRightNow

In my early 20s, hanging out in Soho opposite a stage door waiting for my friend to come and meet me. Standing there minding my own business and a guy about the same age as me walks up right to me and karate kicks at my face - his foot stopped about one inch from the side of my face - takes his foot back down and saunters off. I was like wtf just happened, looked around and no one else had seen it. That was really weird.

That's brilliant, made me laugh out loud!

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 27/05/2021 18:18

@LKnope

it wasn't like he thought it was something else.
he said he just never thought about it. he didn't understand how he never realised it either!🤣

LKnope · 27/05/2021 18:11

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba

here's a double-tap wtf story:

DH, aged 35, discovering that meat = flesh/muscle (because he overheard me explaining it to DS3 or DS4). wtf at himself for never clocking that.

me, wtf at him. he cooks all the time, he does Christmas lunch every year, how did he never realise it?!

What had he thought it was?

@whoami24601

Oh *@JudgeJ* that reminds me of a tv programme I watched years ago about pregnant women having to be healthier. Every week they had one who drank too much, one who was overweight and one who smoked. Every week the one who smoked dropped out of filming. The one that stuck with me was the one who said she thought the smoking was good for the baby because She was 'making it's lungs work harder so they'll be stronger'

I remember that series. There was one who ran a pub in my town who was supposedly on there because she couldn't stop having a couple of drinks, but we suspected it was to get publicity for her pub.

LKnope · 27/05/2021 17:52

A bit different but I work with a woman whose brother is a world-famous actor. Like, super famous.

They share the same surname and she’s often mentioned his first name to me many times but I’ve never put two and two together. I’ve been working with her for 5 years.

Also, he has a particular physical feature that he’s well known for and she has the exact same so I have no idea how I didn’t put that + first name + surname together.

Im constantly WTF at myself for not getting this. Everyone else in work knows and thought I was just very nonchalant about it.

MysteriousMonkey · 27/05/2021 17:42

I was at the doctors today waiting for an appointment when a man came in to aks for a repeat prescription, the receptionist was really pushy about what for and even when she had the name of the drug she wanted to know what it was used for. The man said quite clearly Erectile Dysfunction and then spent the next five minutes insisting he hardly ever needed it. I think he was trying to say that his penis was not that dysfunctional but it just came across like he was hardly having sex. I felt for him tbh... But was struggling to look uninterested (thank goodness for face masks)... Oh and then a little old lady appeared out of the toilet and announced to the receptionist that it was all blocked because someone had been "pooing" in it.

Starting to think I might apply to be a doctors receptionist! Seems fun... Oh unless they're the ones that have to sort out the toilets!!!

Just thought of another. Having a cup of tea in a northern seaside town some years ago, I noticed an elderly couple enjoying tea and cake at the next table.

They were sharing a set of false teeth, each having a bite & then passing the teeth across in a napkin for the other to have a go

Just horrific but weirdly fascinating!

There was a blond boy in DS’s year at primary school - bright yellow blond - with lots of freckles. Mum had the same colour hair.

Years later it came out that he was a redhead & his mum had dyed his hair as she didn’t like it

It made sense once I knew as I’d never thought his skin tone matched his hair, but couldn’t work out why. There were never any roots showing as she did it weekly
