Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

Shamelessly placemarking. Brilliant thread!

Placemarking because I love threads like this 😁

I had a leavers' party with my uni classmates at my house.
A friend of mine asked if she could borrow some scissors, so gave her a pair without a thought. she had a new dress on so when she headed to the bathroom I assumed she forgot to cut out the label or something.

she emerged quite a while later with a new, very short haircut she'd just given herself with a pair of nail scissors.
she didn't do a god job at all

@AlanThePig sorry but I let out a laugh at this
That's exactly how it felt! This lovely, gentle little old man whod been shuffling along at a snails pace and waving at small children was suddenly so agile as to snatch a pigeon out of the air and wring the poor sods neck.

Jensen is a popular surname in Denmark, maybe one of his parents is Danish.

She had her own rod and suddenly became quite animated as she'd caught something. DH and I were watching her enjoying her excitement. She reeled in a fairly large mackerel, removed it from the hook and then, with all her might, smacked its brains out on the harbour wall, then tossed it into a nearby basket. It was so funny from this small, sweet child, completely unexpected and it's stayed with me all these years.

First day on my new job
They put me on the drive thou window to hand out food/drinks
Id been there an hour when 4 young lasses (id have said in their 20's) started doing cartwheels just past the drive thou bit on the grass verge
All of them where naked bar their shoes

At work the other day I had a bloke kick off doing track and trace as the csa where trying to catch him to cough up for his 18 kids!
(Judging by the state of him id have been hard pushed to say that one woman would have gone near him let alone up to 18)
If he gave me his details they'd find him-finally got his details out of him and as he left he spat 'if Boris finds me-im going to make you cough up for them' and stomped out
It had been a long day and I was like 'wtf?'

I work in a school and the only time I’ve done a wtf at a child’s name is when I heard we had not 1 but 2 Alan’s moving upto ks2.

Keep going puts kettle on

There was a mum on the school run that I used to chat with.
Sometimes really friendly and chatty
Other times a bit standoff-ish

Fair enough

One day I was chatting with her, walking down the path....then I saw her waiting with the other mums!

Yes, they were TWO separate people.

A friend and his partner, the guy is quite logical and intelligent, the lady is more emotional based personality, they both want to make a go of the relationship, yet seem to go round in circles.

For example the lady will do x but the guy then goes into full analysis mode of why she did x when she should of done x,y,z ect. This applies to various activities, he knows the lady and how she will react but yet keeps battling every action ect which then leads to them splitting up and then getting back together after a bit, then all is smooth for e.g. A month or two then it's the same pattern repeated she did x then he went into full debate mode.

From my perspective, he knows her inside and out, knows her detailed personality yet every time keep s battling rather than keeping the peace, it's like why keep trying to win every battle if in the end you keep splitting up, if you want the relationship to succeed and you know she's not always logical then why keep going round in circles ?

I get he could be right in his analysis but knowing his partner is more emotional than logical at times, it's not exactly helping the relationship.

I once saw a man using a wire coat hanger to wank at a bus stop.
I also saw a person reading a book on the tube about the benefits of drinking your own urine.

when I met one of my kids's friends' dad for the first time (as in we were being introduced) I said "nice to finally meet you, I don't think I've seen you on the school run"
he said "yeah, I've not been long out of prison"

I love this thread!

thanks @FuckingFabulous

yours is excellent btw!

here are 2 lighthearted ones.
you know the usual excuses kids' have for not sleeping, thirsty, hungry, need a pee..
well, DS3 once surprised me with "I can't sleep because my nails are too long"
🤣
and DS4 couldn't sleep because "mummy, my feet were too cold yesterday"
🤔😁

Oh what a great thread.

Nothing to add, but here I am for the stories!

@FuckingFabulous yours is gold

a person I thought was my best friend telling me she thought it was my fault that I had a miscarriage because I like to be miserable and that negative energy caused the miscarriage. (well, none of that is true of course)
and that she was happy that baby didn't make it because she was worried how I'd cope with 5 kids😳

we have 7 kids now. she's no longer a friend.

My husband had a barber for a couple of years who seemed normal but then one day just lost his shit at a group of kids outside hanging around. He came back in and said he hated kids and if he had his way would have them assessed aged 12 to see if they needed to be sterilised to avoid teenage pregnancies. My husband just laughed nervously and then found a new barber for his next haircut DH is a teacher too so after dropping his sterilisation bombshell the barber then started saying he didn’t know how DH did the job as kids are awful etc. Sounded totally mad.

The pigeon story is like the opening to a horror film.
