I was at Dd's house recently, she opened her freezer and a I could see was lots of little pink mouse tails.
She has a pet snake so they are for him.
I also once sat eating my lunch in Indonesia whilst watching some guys shoving a cow into the back of a bemo (minibus type thing but with no back doors)

Anyone else?

On a bus in India slowing down to pass through a village and two young boys were trying to milk a dog. Dog didn't seem bothered.

I met a friend in St James Park and we sat down to eat a sandwich. A chap sitting close by smiled at us then removed his top to reveal a heavy duty beige bra. We looked the other way, he then got his top back on and walked past us with his leg through the leg hole of a huge pair of white knickers....so they were being dragged along beyond his foot as he walked past.
Bizarre 🙂

A man walking a dog and a sheep.
A man walking with a rat on his shoulder.
A whole family (at least 2 adults and 4 children) on a small motorbike in India!

My one year old jorkie puppy and 4 year old rabbit arguing over a peice of celery they both wanted. Puppy took it and took a bite but as she dropped it Rabbit snatched it from her and walked away munching it. She went over and took it out if his mouth literally and walked away trying to eat it. Rabbit followed and it resulted in the pair of them eating it together one from each end. In a mad rush to get the most. They are best friends but Puppy has to have the same veg as rabbit gets and rabbit has to be let out to play in garden when dog is out and they share toys. They ended the contest by licking each others nose as the final bit snapped into little bits and they tried to taste the residue off each other. They are proper comical, love them to bits

When I was growing up, my parents had a static caravan in wales. There was a local riding stables who let the horses graze out the front of the campsite at night. They used to come onto the campsite - over the very wide cattle grid. To get across the cattle grid, the horses would lay down and roll across! Strangest sight ever! The sheep did it too!

Poorlykitten · 04/04/2021 18:27

Are chickens crossing the road unusual? I live in a village and it’s very common here...😂

@GlumyGloomer - a giant mechanical elephant in Trafalgar Square.

Was that the Sultan's Elephant? We saw that too. Did you see the huge puppet of a little girl that disappeared inside a rocket too? Absolutley amazing.

On holiday we nearly got run over by an obese old man, with what I assumed to be his grandchild (possibly 4 years old) sitting on his knee and she was driving the mobility scooter on the narrow pavement. What I found stranger (after we leapt from the pavement to save ourselves) was what he shouted as the scooter moved off at speed. He yelled, "I'm so sorry but it's her fault (meaning the child)." Also seen an elderly couple wearing matching home made bra cups as face masks last April.

Longingforatikihut · 04/04/2021 18:33

I used to walk my ferrets on leads. I also worked for a fella who's pet barn owl used to sit on his shoulder like a pirates parrot. Despite this I still found it odd to see a chameleon in someone's hair as I went round Asda. Apparently he liked the adventure. Lol

IloveZoflora · 04/04/2021 18:33

A dung beetle in Woolwhich square
A random old chap naked in his mobility scooter it was very hot outside & I was concerned he might get sun burnt! 😳

Lincslady53 · 04/04/2021 18:34

On the bus from Malaga to Nerja. What looked like a grandma and grandson got on and sat on the two seats in front of us. We heard some odd squarky noises, and when we looked over the chairs they had, what looked like, a small parrot, but with not many feathers in the gms hand. No cage. Just sat on a bus with a bald parrot perched on the gms hand.

In New Orleans I saw the Voodoo Priest from the Voodoo museum chasing his iguana down the street. I'd had a reading with him, whilst holding the iguana an hour before, which is how I knew who he was etc.

This isn't exactly weird, more coincidental, but in Amsterdam there were Buddhist Monks giving out free curry and just around the corner was a melted portaloo.

Years ago, when I was working in a quite big office where I didn’t know that many people, I was sat in the office cafe / restaurant. A middle aged chap sitting in my line of sight, proceeded to take out a couple of satsumas, peel and segment them, neatly arrange them into a line, then place his newspaper (the Telegraph, I think) on top of his head and eat the first segment. He then took the paper down, read it a bit, then folded it back up, put it back on his head, and ate another segment of satsuma. He continued the sequence until the satsuma was fully consumed, folded his paper up, and left the cafe.

I was, needless to say, tranfixed.

I lived in York a few years ago. As l was walking into town, there were two young men walking towards me. One was dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt, the other was in full Roman Centurion costume.

PrincessSD · 04/04/2021 19:01

Somebody sanding a shelf on a train. It wasn’t a long journey - it was a busy commuter train.

Driving out of Rotorua ( New Zealand ) past cows in a field that had thermal steam floating up in several places.

Woman with a cat perched on her shoulder at Waterloo station, London.

WW1 tank, covered with tarpaulin, on a small trailer being driven through a rural location.

A surgeons 1960's operating table in a small town auction house, later that day I saw the same operating table being put into the back of a vehicle. Apparently the person who purchased it hunted wild boar and the surgeons operating table was useful for butchery.

Two sheep walking up the lane where we were having a self catering holiday in Wales. It was late afternoon and they were going back home to their field, just like we were walking back to our cottage.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 04/04/2021 19:17

Bloke in Greggs. He had tomato soup. He would eat a bit. Then flick a bit across the top of the table. Repeat. When he finished and left the shop, the Greggs shop assistant had to wipe up the mess.

A guy in a, 'morph' suit after midnight in Wellington, NZ. Walked past me and said, 'psyche' and carried on walking.

A guy dressed as a sci fi hero. I didn't realise it was that year's ComicCon in Birmingham. It was semi-professional his outfit and make up was put together. So why dress like that then glare at people who notice you ?

I saw a guy in Scotland, naked with what looked like blood running down his body. On closer inspection, it was jam and cream all over his body. Apparently, it's a thing.

nopuppiesallowed · 04/04/2021 19:22

A children's doctor dressed as a carrot. He'd been on duty on Christmas day and we'd invited him for dinner. Thankkfully he didn't change out of his costume before he came. The loveliest doctor you could ever hope to meet!

Mummyyyyyyyyyy · 04/04/2021 19:30

I so want to know what was in the bag!

queenofthenorthwest · 04/04/2021 19:30

Many years ago in a club in Liverpool (the aquarium) loads of people dressed as bunny's and characters from Alice in wonderland just appeared and were on the dance floor.

Half one in the morning. ShockConfused

FrazzlesMum67 · 04/04/2021 19:34

I live near Todmorden and there is a chap who often dresses up as a gladiator, or alien or priest...
