Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

[quote FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop]@Pals812 are you in South West Scotland? The first one may have been my exBIL and his (now ex) girlfriend. They did exactly that a few years ago!

If it was, in her defence he was an emotionally abusive POS and she acted in the only way she could without either breaking down or thumping him. He'd been berating her at the checkout for the 'extravagant' things she bought - bubble bath and dark chocolate - and called her an ableist name that I won't repeat on here. She reached breaking point.

Of course he told everyone the story of what a 'psycho' she was in the supermarket, leaving out the bit where he pushed a vulnerable and heavily pregnant woman who'd just recovered from HG to the edge with his nastiness. [/quote]
@FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop, No I'm in England and often think about whether she's left him, same as the other lady and a few others I've witnessed.

Great to hear she managed to leave your ex BIL, and glad she had people like you on her side who could see through his bs.

I travelled around America in my gap year 25 years ago and while waiting for a greyhound bus in Chicago, I saw something that I've never forgotten.

I was sat on my rucksack at the side of a sloping bus station when a small stream of water started weaving its way towards me. As I shifted out of its path, I followed the stream to its source and saw a well-dressed lady in her 50's standing, clutching her handbag but pissing as she stood. Aghast and compelled to watch, she then took a casual look around, flapped her skirt and out dropped a lump of shite and rolled away down the slope.

She got on the same bus as me.

Never forgot that.

Children can do what they want until aged 7. Staff don't interact with them at all, just leave them to play.

Staff meeting every morning involved standing in a large circle around a candle holding hands.

Headteacher regularly got his banjo out (not a euphemism ) and expected us to dance around the maypole barefoot.

I lasted 4 days.

Can't find your post again but it's to do with the van explosion and mini. Police were probably trying to keep some information out of the press so as to catch the rest of the terrorist gang.

playing I spy with DS2 (aged 4), who was standing on the bed in his pyjamas while DH & were still lying down.
DS2 chose the letter W.
DH and were wrecking our brains but couldn't guess the word so finally gave up and asked him to tell us.
DS2 :"Willy! it was willy!"
Me: "aha. but you know the rules are that it has to be something that everyone can see"
so he pulled his pants down and with a huge grin victoriously shouted "well, now you can!"

🤣

Had a bad dream that my brother died but I couldnt find out which one, i have 3. I woke very upset but tried to put it out of my mind. I phoned my mam later that day, she sounded upset, apparently her brother had just died

You mean like me reading a whatsapp chat yesterday where my DD and her friends were discussing killing me and feeding me to the pigs? That kind of WTF moment? Yeah.

I have a 16 year old girl... doesn’t surprise me

I was working at night as a delivery driver for an Indian takeway. I had to pop to the supermarket to buy some stuff for them. It was late and there were very few people there. I went to the till and for some reason decided to go to a till at the far end instead. Turned around and behind me was an old school friend. Not that strange 'till you hear that we went to school together in a country literally on the opposite side of the planet. We hadn't seen each other in 20 years, and there she was, right behind me at the shop. Not really a WTF, but more like a WOW!

I was in my car, just an ordinary day driving - the name of of an old school friend- not even friend came into my mind and it wouldn’t leave. I looked to my left and she was there... still freaks me out now, like wtf!

Looked in the mirror and thought WTF

In the late 90s, I was living in America. One evening I left work late, got on the train and noticed a woman sitting near me, wearing pyjamas and curlers in her hair. Slippers on her feet. I got the impression that she wasn’t well and I sat and tried to think of how I could approach her to ask if she needed assistance. Just as I was standing I saw several people board the train. All wearing fancy dress. It was Halloween. 😊

Pigeons and Tenby seem to be a theme.

I was once in a car in Tenby, hot day, no AC so the windows were open. We stopped at a traffic light and about a dozen people threw chicken bones in to the car.

Sat in the Garden last summer having a drink with my carer and a pigeon just dropped out of the sky dead. Or it dropped out of the sky and was killed by the impact.

The cat was most impressed, she seemed to think if she stared at other birds they would drop down dead for her.

First time I realised my ex had an Oedipus complex was when he casually mentioned, post shag, that we were in his mother's bed,

On my way home from work, I stopped at our the little Tesco Express in our village for a couple of bits.

I mainly pay by card everywhere, hardly ever draw money out, but needed some cash so used the cash machine outside to withdraw a tenner. When the note was issued, I picked it up and it had my name written on it in capital letters. Took a photo of it as it was such a random coincidence.

Stood outside Liverpool Street station and a guy walked past with an eagle sat on his arm - wasn’t a sight I expected to see.

Obviously found out after that they’re employed to disperse the pigeons in the station - what a cool job!

And by 'used' I don't just mean put on and then taken off again...

This didn't happen to me but I was standing next to the person to whom it did. Back in the early 80's I worked as a Saturday girl in a well-known high street chemists (UK) - a man came in asking for ribbed condoms, colleague pointed them out, he bought them and went away. 30 minutes or so later he's back claiming they weren't ribbed. They were marked as such but the customer is always right so, apologies - packet exchanged - man goes away again.

10 minutes later (he must have lived nearby and been a very fast worker!) he's back, very irate, these weren't ribbed either. They were, just clearly not enough for his tastes, so he was given his money back and the condoms taken off him. My colleague opened the packet to check how many were left as you had to fill in some paper work for returned items... and found a used condom shoved in with the others...

I love this!

@Pals812 are you in South West Scotland? The first one may have been my exBIL and his (now ex) girlfriend. They did exactly that a few years ago!

Sat having my hair cut, chatting away to the hairdresser who had always seemed pleasant.

Suddenly she went into great detail about “the Asians” and why she hated them. She wouldn’t cut their hair but say she was leaving early and lock the shop up.

She realised I’d stopped speaking and said, “you don’t like them, do you?” and I had to blurt out something feeble as she was holding a pair of very sharp scissors.

Supacuts in Worcestershire (now closed) in case she still works for that company.
