Strangest things you've ever seen people do?!

[youcanonlydraftthefuture]

I can name a few.

I have my own, I clean my entire bathroom everyday and apparently that's odd, but I didn't realise. Ditto the kitchen, bathroom, etc.

As for other people, I've recently seen someone shouting at me for taking up a parent and child space (DC was in the shops already and I'd be taking him back with me).

Even if I saw someone very clearly getting back in and still no DC, I just wouldn't say anything They could have a hidden disability. They could just be cheeky, but it's not my business.

The biggest shocker was a woman in the changing areas at DC's Puddle Ducks class. She showered naked, which is all fine, I couldn't care less and think we should all be more accepting of it as a society. Then she went on to shave her pits! As if it was all normal and fine in that area and her DC was in their baby car seat on the floor I've never seen anything like it

Slightly bemused by the pooping on the oavement stories alongside the frantic toilet cleaning after each use. I find this a bit alarming as I was sure that MNs would be Eco conscious. I hope that isn't bleach that is being flushed into rivers. With the future of the planet being in jeopardy I have now converted to 'if it's yellow, let it mellow, if its brown, flush it down' Water conservation is something we need to take very seriously.
On a lighter note, when I used to go on an aeroplane for a holiday, in Tenerrife an expat used to walk along the promenade with his little dog on his shoulder, the dog had specially adapted dog sunglasses to protect his eyes from the strong sun, very cute.

@onedayallthiswillbeyours That was probably the pilot disembarking. I checked, Santander Harbour has a piloting service (as most harbours have, I'm sure) who actually comes on board to do what they do.

Long live British eccentricity!

A friend of mine was waiting at a bus stop one evening, with a friend. A woman all dolled up walked into the bus stop, pulled her knickers down, squatted down, had a shit, and then stood up, pulled her knickers up. And walked off, without even looking at them once.

Driving to work on a busy dual carriageway and there’s a toddler in nappy only careering down the path. A jogger going the other way did a double take and turned round to grab him. Apparently mum hadn’t realised he was out and the front door wasn’t properly closed. (I phoned the police when I got to work)

I used to live near Tooting Common so would often walk there. There was a guy who rode his bike round all the time, full beard, make up, red leather skirt, nice blouse. Apparently he ‘operated out of a tree’ there. There’s a German guy where I live now, does exactly the same, possibly not the tree thing!

*A woman walking in front of me had a little dog. The dog stepped in the gutter to urinate. She produced a cup or container and collected some of the wee as the dog peed, put it in her bag and walked on. Maybe the dog was diabetic?

Had to collect several samples over the years when various ddogs have been sick

A woman who lived opposite to us used to hide behind hedges and as you passed her, she'd pop her head up and lift her wig and say good morning/ evening to you, like a man lifting his cap to greet you. She wore a wig because she used to pull her hair out

I've seen dh eat with wolly gloves on because his hands might have germs on them. He'll also eat around the but that his fingers touched then throw that away.

We were in holidays and saw some builders catch, kill and then spit roast a stray dog. I assume for their lunch.

Water conservation is something we need to take very seriously.

I never get this. Water is in a cycle. It never goes away just moves/changes form.

Also I thought due to global warming the ice capps were going to melt. Resulting in too much water. So maybe we should be "wasting" it, whatever that means.

Bollock naked bloke on a mobility scooter, can of beer in each hand, steering with his feet, go straight across an A-road.

I like the hedge wig lady!

I accidentally rolled my trolley over a woman's foot in Tesco's. I opened my mouth to apologise but somehow I ended up saying 'thank you' instead. She looked at me like I was a lunatic and I don't blame her!

It would then be saline which isn’t drinkable without desalination. This, on a large scale, is an extremely expensive option.

I worked with a woman who had lived in Holland for a few years, she said ovens were used to store pans and cook books.

But Spanish, do you have a nativity scene?

I live in a tiny welsh town, I could literally speak for hours about the weird stuff I've seen here. The kids (teens) literally have nothing to do so they do odd stuff all the time.
One of the funniest was when they managed to get traffic cones on top of the three telephone boxes we have in town, the public toilets (directly above each door) and the statue of Wellington! That's a feat itself, god knows how they got up there!

Baristas etc who put a tea bag into hot water followed immediately by the milk, put the lid on and shove it across to me.

I just stand there with on my face.

The really serious baristas consider slapping together a cuppa a bit beneath them I think.

Even I, a Yank, know that the milk must never touch the teabag.

After the , they get a and I have decided now - after it happens so often now - to always return it. They say " you can ask us not to do that next time." They then get a and a , a combination which says "How does that help me now?", a refusal, and I repeat myself.

I then get a correctly made .

@Dementedmagpie , were the turnip babies in Sheffield by any chance?

Patroclus I'm intrigued as to how you mistook a railway worker for Zippy from Rainbow!

Footle
No!! 😂 Hertfordshire.

Sitting in a formal meeting with the University chaplain, whilst he was dressed as a fair trade banana complete with yellow tights.

One of the strangest things I ever saw was a man in late middle age sitting alone on a train. He had a small teddy bear which was dressed in a knitted outfit. He was holding the teddy up so it could see out of the window, talking to it in a low voice and pointing out things of interest to it.

This wasn't between Liverpool and London, was it??

I have a neighbour who cuts her grass with scissors and hangs her socks out using a 1:1 sock:peg ratio.

how on earth else do you hang out socks?

The kids (teens) literally have nothing to do so they do odd stuff all the time.

Hence programmes like World Famous for Dicking Around, I suppose - yes, I used to watch it

Wow. In my house, all the floors get hoovered once a week, mopped less often, and the bathroom is cleaned every fortnight. Kitchen once a week. Am I the weird one? Where do people find the time?
