Strangest things you've ever seen people do?!

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 Confused 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 Grin I've never seen anything like it

Genuinely saw a man sat on a bench in a supermarket, take an onion from a bag, peel the skin away and eat it like an apple. He didn’t even flinch!

Saw a man during the rush hour one morning casually towing a Henry the Hoover by his hose behind him. No idea where he was going with it, and didn't realise the wheels on it was that good

At my dds 8th birthday a totally unknown and random woman arrived with her 4 year old son to my door with a present and a card for my dd. She dropped him off and left. My dd had no clue who he was and neither did I or anyone else at the party. He stayed for the whole party and I minded him as he was so much younger than the others there. When his man came to colle5him she asked me if he had behaved and i said yes and off they went. The strangest thing was when dd opened her cards after the party the card was addressed to her using her name. Have still not got to the bottom of it and I was too polite at the door to say something to the mother. She didn't seem to think it strange that she was dropping her 4 year off to a party of 8 year old girls that she had never seen before. The child didn't seem to notice anything amiss either and had a great time.

Oh that reminds me - at our old house there was a knock on the door. Went to answer it and there was a strange man and a small boy (4?) outside. 'Is this where littlewhoami lives?' he asked. 'Yes,' I said, confused. He handed over a bag full of Christmas presents and left. DD was about 1 at the time so not going out and making friends without me, and I had never seen them before! They knew her name though so clearly they knew us! Who were they?! Confused
