To ask you to tell me your wtf moments from this week...?

[bwentinquake]

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?

Purplealienpuke Well that certainly qualifies as a WTF. What was she thinking?

At a local carnival today, with dd in arms showing her the petting zoo.

Another mum starts cooing st her, and we make baby small talk. Then a kid screechs, and the woman goes "*KIDS NAME!, you've walked into my ciggy again!" . Again?!

Another one who got told to "shave that baby's head and he'll grow some hair". You're alright thanks random person with an opinion on my beautiful baldy bean!

Sammienic He sounds like a bully.

In supermarket with my DSis who is 2 years older than me. Woman DSis knows walks up and gestures to me and asks DSis "Is this your mum?" I was around 30 years old and was devastated. DSis obviously felt for me and haughtily put the woman right. The woman was not at all embarrassed or even interested and just turned her back on me. Mean odd bod

A man left his handbrake off his mini and it ran down a hill into my dd's car. Her partner was fixing the bike rack at the time and just managed to dive out of the way in time. The car owner strolled out of a shop and accused them of backing into his car. It was all caught on cctv but their insurance company says there is not enough evidence!

For good measure, the car owner then tried to hit them both.

Man in furniture shop to dh: "hi Sam, how's it going? It's been so long. Great to see you"
Dh: " oh er hi.... er... (desperately trying to figure out how he knows him) I'm so sorry I've gone blank, I'm not sure where you know me from."
Man: (rather huffily) well we went to school together all through primary and secondary in the same class!"
Dh: "oh you went to (insert boys school in Kent)?.... can't have been primary as I was in a village school with 4 classes. There were only 6 boys in my class."
Man: "no we went to (insert local West Country school)!"
Dh; "oh no I only moved here in my mid 20s."
Man: "no you went to West Country school" man seemed to be trying to convince me dh was lying.

Er, I think dh remembers his school and pil still live in Kent - in fact dh was in the same year and school and my brother! Weird.

It happened 2 yrs ago, but reading earlier about a tube barrier reminded me of it- woman going through a normal barrier in the tube before me, was holding her walking stick/metal crutch ( which I didn't notice she had) under her arm, so the end of it was sticking up in the air and she swung it up behind her hitting me in the mouth 😳 Caused a red mark all day and I worried about my tooth for a while after. She just mumbled an apology and went on her way. Guard saw it and asked how I was.
WTF was she doing with it, holding it up in the air, going through a normal barrier? Still makes me see red! 👿

Motherofdragons, that reminded me of one from years ago.
Man came up to me and said "that dog is an x, that dog is a y and that dog is a z"
" no, they're mother and two sons. She's half S but otherwise all mongrels"
"No" he replies "that one is x, that one is y, that one is z..."

This went on for some time.

I had to look after a work experience girl for the day. She was very quiet and shy so I thought I'd chat about a few inoffensive topics and ask a question or two just to break the silence. I am not much of a talker either so I didn't go overboard by any means. Halfway through our (one-sided) conversation put her headphones in and started laughing out loud at random intervals. Okaaay...

An old woman slapped my husband's arse at the cinema yesterday so that was definitely a WT ever living F moment.
(He does have a nice arse tho )

PP also reminded me of when someone set my dad's car on fire in our driveway when I was tiny.
3yo me was the first person to notice and decided it'd be a great idea to just watch it out the living room window rather than telling anyone. Luckily my DM came down two minutes later and noticed ...

I am at Sammienic's dh.

Making up a song about your wife being injured and potential infection.

Definitely a twat.

Me and dh went out for lunch the other day.
Baby ds with us so dh finished before me and I was holding baby and eating.
Dh went to get me a coffee, bloke comes over and asks if he can take dh plate yes that's fine. As I'm sat leaning over my plate still eating he asked if he could take mine too

This morning.
My husband and I were on a weekend away, staying in a hotel.
This morning I was stood outside having my morning cuppa and a cigarette when a woman who I have never seen in my life before, but who was also staying in the hotel came out and struck up a conversation with me that went like this.....

Her. Hello how are you?
Me. I'm fine thank you, and you?
Her. I'm fed up
Me. Oh dear why?
Her. Because my husband can't get it up and he knows I'm gagging.

I almost swallowed my cigarette whole!

When they appeared at breakfast some minutes later, I could barely stifle my giggles when I looked at him and then the sausage on my plate.

Silly, inattentive woman nearly getting herself run over. Busy road, dual carriageway. Supermarket on one side. She exits supermarket after getting a late lunch for the office while taking a phone call. Multitasking at its best you might think...No! She totally misjudges the traffic and meanders slowly across thinking she is going much faster but is too absorbed in her call to notice the cars that have had to stop in both directions while she slow jogs across the road.

The woman who used to live in our house just knocked on. She asked very politely if she could have the flower pots in the garden she left behind. They were very special to her.

She moved out three and a half years ago.

I was too shocked to say anything so just stared at her for a bit. (This isn't the first time she's popped round to get things she's left behind but we thought she'd stopped now. Plus she still gets some important mail delivered to our address and I'm tired of ringing utility and mobile companies to say they aren't here!)

Yesterday driving back from the cinema sae woman walking 2 gogs. One stopped for a crap, fair enough, after it had finished woman proceeded to kick the dogshit into the road - tapping it with her foot to roll it into the road 😠

My DM was horrified that I told my 4 yr old where a baby comes out of mum's tummy....she told me this might turn him into a paedophile! WTAF!!!! do you think she meant pediatrician?

I was at work in the office and called my DM on speakerphone (she looks after DD whilst I work) to see if she'd be ok for an extra 30 minutes so I could go and get my moustache waxed. She seemed a bit weary but agreed anyway.
'No problem, but why would you wax your gash?'
I was very as we don't use that word ever. No idea where it came from.
Fellow elder colleagues found it hilarious

minionsrule That's disgusting! I know gogshit is HUGE compared to dogshit, but they're HER gogs! She should have been prepared and be carrying black dustbin liners for precisely that eventuality, plus a wheelbarrow to transport them in. Shocking.

Driving down a long street, with room for only 1 vehicle as there were loads of cars parked and lots of bollards and road works at the other side (power cables being laid). Saw passenger coach looming in the distance so decided to pull in, flash him forward as there was nowhere safer for me to drive to and pull in to let him through. Fair enough, it was a generous wait but I drive a large T5 so it was a sensible option.

Cue taxi driver ramming his breaks on and blaring his horn and waving his arms around in frustration behind me. I check my mirrors regularly so he must have been going at some pace. He swerved out and past me, yelling an obscenity through his window only to have to ram on his breaks as the oncoming bus was driving through. He tried to cut up the passenger coach but ended up swerving again into a free but very tight spot, mounting the kerb and clipping a load of roadwork bollards in the process. I sat there in disbelief until I saw the coach driver pointing and laughing at the irrate taxi man before looking at me, giving me a thumbs up and mouthing 'twat' whilst pointing at irrate taxi driver.

I started laughing which must have enraged taxi twat more as he screeched off, knocking bollards as he went.

I also took great satisfaction in reporting him to my neighbour.....who owns the cab-firm.

Finding out that somebody I have worked with and been friendly with for over a year is a compulsive liar, pretty much everything she has "been through" (There has been a lot including a miscarriage and a cancer scare) never actually happened.

I'm shocked

Frankie that happened to me a while back. Used to live with a housemate before OH moved in. Similar lies, some were just unreal. Didn't like it when she got rumbled though!

This is a while ago. Stbxh had a rare afternoon off work so came with me to pick DCs up from school. One of the other mums who'd not met Stbxh before says 'God, its true what they say, that people choose partners who look like them self!' I smiled politely, then she added, ' yeah, you've both got really big noses!'

I'm a new GoT convert and I quite fancy the character Bronn. I only bloody googled him and found out he's only Jerome Flynn. Yup. From Robson and Jerome fame!! wtf!?! He's still fit though and plays a great character!
