Strange things you have seen today

AIBU to find it a bit odd that there was a pushchair parked under an extremely skinny tree (so providing no protection whatsoever from the absolutely bucketing rain) outside our office yesterday morning?

No baby or mother (or whoever) in sight.

I watched it all morning.

Mysteriously disappeared around 3 pm, no-one saw it go.

WTF?

Bloody hell.

What haven't I seen today.

Bit of sun and the most bizarre clothes combos emerge.

Some truly frightening sights.

I saw a monkey trying to do, what looked like, CPR on a very obviously dead fellow primate :( poor thing kept rubbing the others chest then leaning its ear to the other monkeys face :(

Nigella's mother, sister and husband died of cancer. Maybe that's why she's totally covered up.

DollyTwat · 19/04/2011 19:32

Went past me too quickly to see. I had to do a double take as it was. Should have followed her shouldn't I!

ShinyMoonInAPurpleSky · 19/04/2011 19:36

I saw a toddler at a park who was followed around by his mum who stopped him playing on any of the things then told him off for crying constantly. FFS why did you bring him to a park if you aren't going to allow him to play on anything?

hardhat awww :(

foundwanting · 19/04/2011 19:37

I saw a woman get crapped on by a whole flock of birds.

She was sitting under a tree at the park. Something startled the birds and they took flight unleashing a deluge of poo.

I know her from school and offered some tissues, but she was covered in crap so not much use really.

SiameseIfYouPlease · 19/04/2011 19:39

I saw a man shaving on the train, with foam! Using the window as a mirror!

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets · 19/04/2011 19:42

I saw a big, very posh middle aged man walking up the high street saying "Oh for Fucks sake!" Over and over again really loud.

It came out as "Oh for facks sake""

There was no apparent reason for all this facking.

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets · 19/04/2011 19:43

Shock Hardhat How sad!

heliumballoons · 19/04/2011 19:46

Saw a mum letting her child paddle in the sea and declare quite loudly " don't get wet" Hmm

Poor mite didn't stand a chance with 100's of other DC's running around the sand in the shallows . Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 19/04/2011 19:47

I saw what I thought was a bright blue caterpillar. Shock It was on the kitchen floor and I watched it for ages. It didn't move and I thought it must have been dead. :( ... then I plucked up the courage to get bit of paper, load the caterpillar on and take it outside... and then I realised it was a bit of plastic from one of the dogs' beds that my husband had drilled a hole into... Blush

RunAwayWife · 19/04/2011 19:48

Not today but last wekk when I was on holiday in Turkey....

A woman on a sun bed next to the pool got a disposable razor out of her bag and proceeded to shave her lady garden right there and then by the pool in front of everyone Shock Grin

Vallhala · 19/04/2011 19:48
