Today a stranger walked up to me in the street, gestured to my 2yo, and said "She's Downs Syndrome, yeah?".

Dd does not have Downs Syndrome. Nor does her appearance in any way suggest she might do.

So. Weird.

Can anyone beat that?

When a school run Mum with her precious in the front passenger seat turned right across my path when I was driving straight on.

How I stopped before her side door is a miracle.

I witnessed my dad blowing on my sisters dogs dinner that he had heated up in the micro to take the chill off it was totally WTAF the dinner was chicken n gravy that mum cooked especially another WTAF. My sister doesn't cook her dogs dinner and wonders why it turns it's nose at dog food Grin

I was once asked "how long I had left" when I wasn't pregnant. Now if it happened today, I'd understand it - but I was like a rake back then. Weird person.

Along the lines of the WHSmith queue, I have had my wheelchair moved as apparently I was in someone's way Shock

RedStripeIassie · 07/07/2017 15:00

fuucckkk I've got another one. Currently being driven at 80mph down a motorway and he's simultaneously rolling a fag and driving with his knees! WFAF! Shock

I got my completion statement from my solicitor today for my remortgage, expecting to have around £2K to pay to complete. The completion statement suggests it's over £32K, quite possibly because someone has randomly added about £30K to the redemption figure of my current mortgage. I'm hoping it's a typo......

Not really funny although I find it darkly amusing. Ex bf exposed as a lying cheating Cunt a few months ago, and has spent 3 months showing me how he's changing and how he's being responsible and growing up. Got a message yesterday from his fiance asking why I was sleeping with her husband to be and to get my own man Hmm

NoFucksImAQueen · 07/07/2017 15:08

Sat in a & e with DD after she managed to grab a hot drink and had scalded herself. Mil had come to wait with me. I was obviously already distressed.
Mil starts asking me what the boys want for their birthdays so I said they were still into a lot of the same stuff as I suggested at Christmas that she totally fucking ignored and didn't buy, as always
She replies
"Yeah but it gets a bit boring after a while"

Ummm so sorry that THEIR interests are a bit fucking boring for YOU. I forgot that actually their presents should be something you find exciting Hmm

I've been mistaken for a French person again this week. I get it when we are overseas, but now it's happening here too. I'd be interested to know what's so French- looking about me.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 07/07/2017 15:22

Boogle, I get that too but apparently I look Polish?

Red, who the hell is doing that?! Shock

knowwhereyourheadis · 07/07/2017 15:30

Beerwench that's almost Jeremy Kyle material!
I wonder if it's your ExBF that messaged me on a networking site earlier to tell me my tits look like they need sucking? Seriously WTF?
I don't actually know who this man is.....

Sitting on a train platform yesterday. Some random guy comes up to me and asks if I'm American. When I say no, he asks if I am Canadian.

Shagged my boss when both extremely drunk (actually my bosses boss)... what the hell do I do now?? ShockBlush

SongforSal · 07/07/2017 15:44

My WTF moment happened when I bumped into a lady I know, and honestly I barely recognized her as she had lost several stone. I said ''Wow, you look fantastic. I honestly didn't recognized you as you have lost so much weight''......she then replied haughtily ''You've seen me since losing weight''....(I hadn't).......I felt really uncomfortable as other people were around and there was a stony silence. She then went home and blocked me on FB. ............Because I complimented her. What the actual fuck.

AntiHop · 07/07/2017 15:45

This one was from a few months ago. In a cafe with several members of my family. I reached a table at the same time as another woman. She was there alone with a man. There was another, smaller, table free and I politely asked her if we could have the bigger table as there were 6 of us. The man then loudly swore and said he wouldn't be told where to sit, and immediately left the cafe in a huge huff.

Mulledwine1 · 07/07/2017 15:46

The Workzilla threads did it for me I think. I don't think I have EVER heard of ANYTHING so entitled. But I may have lived a sheltered life in terms of entitled people!

Driving through a town I grew up in. A peacock was wandering down the road.

BEAT THAT!

ExConstance · 07/07/2017 15:55

We are downsizing soon and went to loo at some new 3 storey town houses last weekend. DH is super fit and teaches at the sport centre in his spare time, I'm constantly told I look about 10 years younger than I am. The sales man at the houses asked us if we could manage the stairs!!!!!!! He had a tummy that hung over his trousers.

After swimming lessons, a billion children trying to shower in 5 available showers, one boy is taking forever. Not really washing, just standing under the water, no parent in sight. Loads of children queuing up for their turn. Eventually a mum comes along and says 'hurry up darling, there are lots of children waiting.' Brat boy replies 'No go away!' Mum says 'Ok I will' and wanders off to look on her phone! Myself and several other parents were ShockShockShockShockConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedHmmHmmHmmHmm

Someone just told me I "have the build of an opera singer"... Wtf?
We were talking about opera singers,but surely that just means FAT ?!
So if that's what she meant it was rude... And I'm not slim but only a 12-14... And in reality all the opera singers I've met have been stunning!

Nah that guy is upfront about being a weasel - the guy in my life would lead you to believe what a wonderful upstanding guy he is and then months later you find out he's a lying serial cheating toad. Who wants to change, apparently..... Confused
And yes, I do feel like I'm trapped in an episode of Jeremy Kyle.... I don't know how to get out of. Ah well keep on blocking and deleting......!

MrsXx4 · 07/07/2017 16:17

My next door neighbour stole our Chinese take-away! DH and I ordered and had the cash to pay on arrival, delivery pulls up on our drive, neighbour runs out collects it from our driveway, we were watching from the window and thought nothing of it, just thought she must have also ordered a take-away!

40 mins later ours hadn't arrived so we phoned up and asked when we could expect it to be told they had already delivered it but were told (by our neighbour) that it was hers and we had just ordered it for her?!!?

We were like 'eerrrrr no?! we want our food!' they re-cooked our order and delivered it, DH ran out to greet him this time and both discussed that it was the strangest thing!! she even had to pay cash for it?! an order of food that she didn't even know what it was?!

We ate in stunned silence and didn't even know whether to confront her?!

Name changed for this as it's a bit "outing"...

Yesterday evening, I found a drunk man in a suit hiding in a bush in our garden. Asked him if he was ok and he said he just needed somewhere to sit to have a can and a fag. I said that was fair enough, but could he do it somewhere that wasn't my garden. He agreed and declined my offer of him leaving through our main gate.

He decided to hop over the rusty old gate that no longer opens. He did a total Alan Partridge on the spikes of the gate. Right through his shoe. He then heaved his foot off my gate and went on his way.

I logged it with 101 as I was quite concerned he said he was going to walk the 6 miles to the nearest town with his damaged foot.

You dirty sods! You should've gone before you left home!

Driving through a town I grew up in. A peacock was wandering down the road

BEAT THAT!

I once phoned the police because someone (I thought) was outside my house hooting on some sort of horn at 4 in the morning and had been doing it for a couple of hours.

They drove up and I went out to speak to them - telling them that I had looked for who was doing it but couldn't see anyone. The policeman said "Are you sure it's not the peacock on your garage roof?" Shock Shock

I have no idea where it came from (or where it went) and I didn't even know they made that noise - I thought they made a sort of screech. Blush wasting police time, hope they didn't log it
