I had a neighbour once who would put out a tin of beans in a bowl on her backstep then fetch it in every evening... NO IDEA why!!

Also there was a flat in city centre of Leeds where the residents would display a Barbie and Ken in full view in the window in a different sex position every day Grin

Anyone wanna entertain me with some stories?? Grin

There's a lady I know who dyes her hair a different colour on the 15th of every month. Always the 15th.

I knew a man who would only have his hair cut on midsummer day.

There's a woman who lives near me who has two pairs of the same style shoes - one pink pair and one blue pair. But she wears a pink one on one foot and a blue one on the other foot. Did it originate with her putting on the different colours by mistake and she carried on doing it, or is she as eccentric as I think she might be? Grin

OP was she putting the tin of beans unopened in the bowl?

Sorry, just seen the added posts. No, the beans were open, if that makes it any less weird Grin

"No, the beans were open, if that makes it any less weird" Maybe she's one of those idiots who thinks it's a 'good thing' to feed urban foxes? (That's assuming you live in an urban area.)

I wondered if the beans were opened as I thought she might be trying to feed the local wildlife!

Wanderlust1984 · 03/01/2018 21:12

Ohh... is that a thing? Do foxes like baked beans?? Grin

PanPanPanPing · 04/01/2018 08:22

No idea! But given that urban foxes will scavenge from dustbins and bin bags, I guess they wouldn't turn up the opportunity of helping themselves from an open invitation of a bowl of baked beans Grin

Some of these sound like OCD

spangles1963 · 04/01/2018 17:05

I think foxes will eat practically anything!
