Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

I popped into Lidl one lunchtime for a few bits of shopping. There was a woman stood outside the main door WITH A SKUNK ON A LEAD . I got terribly excited and asked nicely, 'Please may I smooth your skunk?' She huffed and sighed and said 'I suppose so' and rolled her eyes at me . I started to talk to the lovely boy. His name was Chaos. Then she told me off for talking in too high a voice and she got pissed off with people wanting to pet/speak to him. It frightens skunks apparently. I was like, 'But...but...you are stood outside of lidl on a Tuesday afternoon WITH A SKUNK ON A LEAD!!!!' It was both exciting and crushingly disappointing at the same time .

I was once on a train home when we were held for a while at a station because a lady had gotten off at the previous stop and left her baby on board. She was in her car driving to the station we were waiting at to pick the baby up!

Oh my gosh!

@LouLou789 yes as a wedding present from her parents for the newly married couple, my grandfather died young so used his so grandmother used to check that hers still fitted, she was 5,2 and weighed about 8 stone apparently but was concerned about growing out of the coffin. - are coffins not a standard size? Exception if the person is extra large

No, we were both stunned! Dh did put in his email though that someone might want to tell Clare that her hold button is broken

Brilliant @FuckingFabulous imagine how hard she will be cringing when she finds out!

Friend of mine went to do some work at a mans house. The man seemed quite agitated so my friend said ok mate! Man explained that he had just buried some cheese in the garden. My friend said why would you do that, which made the man more agitated. Man started to shout and wave his arms about. My friend, who is very street wise, said well you can't bury cheese without sausages can you. Man popped to shop for sausages

@VinylCafe oh my god.

I hope I can post this story. The poor cleaner must have been very WTF!

I was part of someone else’s wtf moment years ago. With my daughters and some friends from our sports club we were taking part in the London Moonwalk. We’d decorated our bras in the club colours and with 1000s of other women were walking across London through the night.
It was past 2am, we’d just crossed one of the bridges over the Thames and this, beautifully dressed, very elegant man came out of a night club, looked at all these women of every size, shape, age and colour and utters the immortal words - ‘what the fuck are you all doing?’
I couldn’t blame him, it was quite surreal.

When I was about 6-7 my friends dog gave birth to puppies and I went to see them. Her dad sat on the floor with us and picked up one of the pups to hand to us for a cuddle and it wee'd on him. He threw it at a wall. I still remember sitting there cross legged in complete silence and shock at what I saw. The situation changed so quickly I couldn't even comprehend what had happened. I'm almost certain he just handed us another puppy to hold. Didn't visit her after that and they moved away not long after, I do wonder some days if he was ever abusive to my friend or her mother as he obviously had anger problems and an extremely short temper.

@Elderflower14 right? Like why go to the trouble of wearing nice thick gloves and hat but nothing else? 😂

@NotanotherboxofFrogs

Two coffins? Amazing!

Yes it was, but everyone in the carriage could hear him. I wasn't the only passenger looking out the window admiring the Tipperary countryside.

🤣

that remind me of the story of a very old lady who would sleep in a coffin instead of a bed just to be practical in case she died in the night

When my Grannie was in hospital (with marbles in tact) well into her 90s she’d say to the nurses ‘oh you’ve been wonderful, you must come to the funeral’ 😆[/quote]
My grandmother who I never got the chance to meet, apparently was bought 2 coffins as wedding present by her parents. They were stored in the attic of the house, in her later years she would periodically go and lie down in the coffin to check it "still fitted"

Mine is more pleasant than most, but it really was a WTF. At a friends 16th a gang of us had spent the day eating, doing make up, dancing, etc. Finally we sat down to watch a movie (Werewolves of London). I end up sitting next to her twin brother in the dark, we moved a bit closer, engrossed in the movie. At some point he moved his hands down inside the front of my jeans, I was surprised but I didn't say anything at watched the movie, he started moving his fingers a bit outside, a bit more, after a few mins I had my WTF moment (silently). I was inexperienced, never had done that myself, never thought something like that could happen without full sex, etc.

Funny thing is I don't think he knew what he did. And our parents came to collect us before the movie finished!!

@mathanxiety that's actually quite sweet.

I was on the Cork-Dublin train on an August afternoon many decades ago, heading to Dublin. In the carriage was a couple with a sleepy toddler, clearly heading back to Dublin after a holiday. Toddler a little sunburnt, sand visible on the bucket and spade in their bags, parents looking a little tired, and the mother was heavily pregnant.

She took her sandals off and put her feet up on the seat facing her, where her partner was sitting. He looked deeply into her eyes and started to massage her feet, which was nice as far as it went. I looked out the window when he started kissing her belly and lovingly called her 'My little Kerry cow'.

@FuckingFabulous

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.

The shock when I realised there were actually two of them! I still think there might be a triplet out there.

The man hadn’t been standing behind us in the escalator either, we were nearly at the top and he was walking past everyone.

Was at an airport in America 25 years ago, my (now) husband and I were standing in the escalator going up (we had checked in hours before) and this very, very tall and serious man behind us were trying to walk past us. My husband moved his bag and said ’Sorry, mate!’ and the man kindly replied ’Well thank you, Matthew.’ (my husband’s name) and quickly walked away. We had never seen the man before, no names on the suitcases etc. Wtf. 😂
