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

I once saw a woman eating a packet of crisps on the bus.. when she had finished she took out her false teeth and licked them all over before putting them back in again

Of all the stories, this one genuinely made me gag. Gross. Though the vomity McDonalds was bad too.

I once watched a middle aged, big bald bloke walking along the street in Oxford repeatedly projectile vomiting on to the pavement as he strolled along casually 🤢

Saw someone I work with eating Twisties (cheese flavoured chip type snack ) with a spoon.

@alexafindfilms- you don’t live in Yorkshire, do you?!

I once witnessed the least successful robbery ever. Two guys walk into the shop, balaclavas on, and threaten the guy behind the counter with a knife. He pulls a hurley out and chases them out of the shop.
They run past us to their getaway car which they had locked. Driver gets in, doesn't unlock the door for the other guy and drives off. Robber 2 tries to jump a wall and injures himself. The reason he had to jump the wall is that they had parked in a cul de sac and robber 1 had to then drive past the shop and all of us. He had taken off balaclava and we all got a good look at him as he got caught in traffic and the shop owner bashed the shit out of his windscreen with the hurley.

I saw a man with a loose pet rat on the tube.

And a man with a loose pet ferret on the train. He was asked to leave. He was dressed in a suit and looked most put out. Like it was the most normal thing in the world to have a loose ferret on a train.

A nearby house almost always has washing on the line in the front yard, usually the same things left out for days at a time, rain or shine (often rain). DH and I amuse ourselves when driving past saying things like 'perfect day for drying!' (when it's bucketing down) or, on a nice day, 'no washing out today' - 'don't be silly, you'd never get it dry in this weather!'

my neighbour used to mow his lawn (fine), then tidy it up with nail scissors 🤔

I live next to a canal, I tend to sit on my balcony most nights for my before bed fag (naughty), last night a woman was walking along and jumped in the canal. Okay odd, but she was narrating the entire experience despite being on her own. Thankfully a drunk walked by and helped her out so I didn’t need to go down and investigate.

ThePurpleMoose OMG we do the same, there's a house round the corner from us that perpetually has rows of washing out in all weathers! She must be the Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe because there is always about 80 school uniforms hanging up there, swaying in the wind and torrential rain.

A young man coming out of a Greggs, vomiting by a street bin and going back inside. The city centre pigeons and seagulls had a field day.

We used to have a lady near where I worked who had a breakdown when her husband died.. She took to wearing eccentric outfits.
One night my then DP (pre marriage) picked me up at 11.30pm(he didn't know about the lady Mary) He was driving me home, I fell asleep. The next thing I heard was a blood curdling scream and my DP had slammed on the car brakes..... I woke with a start and turned on the interior light. DP was sheet white... "I've just seen the ghost of a Russian Hussar...." I had to explain it was Mary in one of her outfits..... (For the record she also wore a boy scouts uniform and another outfit was a long white waterproof coat and a sailors hat!!!) 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯 🤯

@hoteltango and @BlankTimes
I thought that could possibly be the case and had googled it thoroughly at the time (was several years ago) and could find no indication that anyone else had ever witnessed it or that it was a "thing" on the Santander to Portsmouth Brittany Ferry! I really was beginning to think I had imagined the whole episode in some kind of James Bond/Captain Birdseye mash up dream sequence . What a cool job that guy has and bloody hell I wouldn't want to have to transfer myself between a gigantic moving ferry and a bouncy little speedboat in the middle of open water with no life jacket

@GlamGiraffe he restrains himself to just once a week

Sat in a lecture room at a uni open day behind a couple. Initially thought they were just a bit loved up until she started brushing his dandruff out and eating it!!!! couldn’t watch but also couldn’t look away.

Imagine cutting your nails in public so often that you have clippers on your keys!! Disgusting
I always carry nail clippers-you never know when a nail is going to break, or a hangnail appear. I do wonder if she was allowed to take them through security though.

@Elderflower14

LOL at this. I'll be smiling all day thinking of your dp seeing a ghost of a Russian Hussar.

Did see a lady with a big red parrot in a motorway services once. She'd carefully torn down a cola cup and put some water in so it could have a drink.

My aunt was the oddity once. She and my uncle were going to a costume party dressed as clowns. In the car they took off the silly wigs, but we're wearing white makeup with black crosses on their eyes and big red mouths.
A police car pulled alongside them on the motorway and the passenger was craning round to get a look at them.
They both pretended not to notice.

A lady wearing a Rab c Nesbit style string vest, her hair in bunches and pants striding purposely up the high street on a december morning during rush hour.

A woman came and sat outside a bar, pulled down her skirt and tights and pissed like a racehorse. On a Monday night. A chap called over to her and said "they do have toilets in there you know‽" and she replied "couldn't find them". Wandered off with her tights at half mast.

A monkey passenger holding on to the driver of a motorbike in Thailand.

A kid in my six form turned up driving his dads tractor, parked it next to all the old Saxos and Corsas. It was massive.

Went on one of those wheels that have in city centres. Saw a dramatic police chase across roofs of the shops from our vantage point.

My neighbour pushes her dog around in a pram.

I'm sure there's more!

Man riding a unicycle on a 60 mph road where I had just moved to - was wondering what sort of place it was tbh!!

Oh god, I do a lot of stuff that would be seen as crazy

I’m known to hoover my patio, in the summer I tend to do it fairly often and I think it looks amazing afterwards

Up until I was nearly 20 I used to smell every single piece of cutlery or mug I used, if it didn’t smell right couldn’t use it.

I clean my whole house top to bottom every single day.. I work and have kids to juggle it round, but I can’t relax until it’s been done.

Enough of mine before I embarrass myself anymore I regularly see a group of people walking ferrets. I’ve also seen a man at midday cycling completely naked but wearing a top hat..

Forgot to add, I'm obsessed with sniffing cleaning products and often spend a good half hour smelling stuff in the cleaning section of a shop

There’s a guy near us who drives his mobility scooter with a chicken on his head. Seen him a few times.

A live chicken, just to clarify.

I work in an open plan office and the guy opposite me would eat paper from his a4 pad. I was pregnant and had morning sickness and the thought of it made me want to vomit. I would wince every time I heard him tearing another page out.

Would I be unreasonable to ask dp to start putting bleach in the toilet each time he goes? I actually think it's a genius idea 😁

I sometimes sniff stuff in shops but one time I squeezed a bottle of conditioner to get more of the smell and a load of it shot up my nose. Everyone was in stitches.
