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?

I heard a strange thing at about 9am. I was still in bed and I heard what sounded like the dishwasher being emptied and filled again. The strangest thing was, it was DD (15) doing it, without being told first! Grin

Strange thing also happened with DD, just over half an hour ago. She was told to be home by 8pm. She was in at 7.45! ShockGrin

I saw a whole load of people going into the swimming pool with socks on!

Silverlace · 19/04/2011 20:33

I saw a large man riding a bike and his trousers were so low you could see all of his bum. Made me feel quite queasy.

TethersEnd · 19/04/2011 20:39

I saw a middle aged man shouting and clinging onto the railings outside our house whilst being (physically) coaxed off them by a random passer by woman.

I'm so lazy I didn't even go outside.

beanlet · 19/04/2011 20:42

Woman on the train - I swear to god this is true - wearing her underpants over her jeggings. She was no sylph either.

Silverlace - I once saw a man cycling by the canal in Bethal Green completely naked from the waist down. It was a hot day and he looked a bit hot, but he'd kept his top on for some reason.

TethersEnd · 19/04/2011 20:53

I live in Bethnal Green... do you think it was the same man as the railing hanger?

Probably not. There are many.

blackeyedsusan · 19/04/2011 20:55

ds and dd sitting within 1 foot of each other not fighting

QuickLookBusy · 19/04/2011 20:55

Oh dear.

TethersEnd · 19/04/2011 20:57

It's really lovely at this time of year. Really.

happybubblebrain · 19/04/2011 20:58

Unlikely it was the same one, was he really red with a small willy?

theresapotatoundermysink · 19/04/2011 20:59

A woman watching her cat do a crap, then clapping and congratulating it.

QuickLookBusy · 19/04/2011 21:00

happy aslong as he wasn't really small with a red willy.

the strangest thing I have seen has just been on Britain's next big thing, the woman who pitched 'Jam Sponge' the womens alternative tampon! to the Boots buying panel.
Pitching the idea to 2 women and bloke and sharing her experience of rinsing her sponge out in a public loo after it was obviously 'jammy'

Tommy · 19/04/2011 21:02

I saw a friend who I haven't seen for a while - he has give up shaving for Lent and, therefore, looks like an old tramp..... Hmm

An oldish rotund man in a wheelchair wheeling himself backwards (at speed) down the platform of our local station shouting "Brian!" over his shoulder.

The local eccentric in his high-vis jacket and farmers trousers tied up with string getting off his push-bike to sniff some freshly cut grass and put it in his pocket.

A man on a motorised scooter covered with beanie babies.

If anyone from my area is reading this you will know exactly who I am talking about as the above are common occurences here!
