To ask your most WTF moments

[latheritup]

We went to the zoo recently and was walking down to the tiger enclosure. We saw a man had jumped over the fence into the greenery to retrieve his glasses that 'fell off' and subsequently the tigers all came to the front of their enclosure.

I can't think why he wouldn't ask a zookeeper to safely get them or was he just trying to get the tigers closer for a better pic?! Either way my face was

I've attached a wonderful diagram. Very proud of it

Everyone looks very happy in your diagram op, no signs of concern at all 🤣

I have a few WTF moments.

A woman standing perfectly still looking at the flower garden at the National Trust in Devon as the wind repeatedly lifted her thin cotton dress gently into the air revealing her to be completely nude beneath. She stood stock still for several minutes enjoying that breeze!

From the school bus, watching a driver exit their van on the town market place car park before it gently rolled down the hill and into oncoming traffic.

Several more, but the one that left be completely in awe was during an almost storm-force winter Sunday morning a few years ago. I watched as a small private helicopter emerged from the horizon, completely out of control as it was being taken by the winds. From my elevated position, firstly it was blown sideways up the hill and over me, then as the pilot tried to head it north-east it was blown westwards and in the opposite direction, almost down to the valley below, tumbling before emerging again having done a 360 degree loop and turn all uncontrolled and at the mercy of the wind. It eventually headed in a north-easterly direction, while several times being blown in all directions and almost, but by luck rather than design, never quite hitting the ground.

Wow. Are you all sure you didn't dream these scenarios. What madness.

That diagram is hilarious 😆

The tigers are behind another fence though, so not that dangerous as he didn't actually go over to them.

Standing on my sister in laws front steps one sunny evening about 10 years ago. Her house faces the main England to Scotland train line and the trains usually whizz past really fast & loud.

As we stood there, an old fashioned hand pumped train cart went past really slowly with 2 people working it. We were both transfixed watching it and then turned to each other with mouths open in a “did we just dream that” moment.

Never seen a hand cart on that line before or since. Bizarre.

Are you kidding me?

There have been time’s where an idiot has jumped the barrier fence to get closer to the actual fence and have been attacked.

I’m sure one lost their arm

Hearing a couple quite loudly shagging in a nightclub toilet cubicle.

I managed to keep a straight face when she came out to wash her hands and proceeded to make small talk with me, and when she asked if she could borrow my lip gloss.

I was once driving a convertible and going down a really narrow road very slowly, an elderly man hit me on the head with his walking stick. To this day I still laugh and think WTF. Was he thinking!!

"Christmas decorations on sale in a HomeBargains shop" - nothing wtf about that I'm afraid. They are in several shops now - and probably a bit late than usual this year!

@weneedboujiecocktails that made me laugh so hard 😂
The most WTF moment I’ve had was I took my dc to a play park in the middle of a little town, fields all around the park and pretty quiet. Supervising my youngest on a climbing toy and there was a grandmother watching her grandson from a bench at the side of me. She all of a sudden let out the biggest, loudest fart from the bench I’d ever heard. There were quite a few children and parents in the park and she didn’t bat an eyelid 😂😂😆

Maybe about 8 years ago now, I went to a performance of the play 'Warhorse' in London. The seats were arranged some that I was sat up on a bit of a walkway for the actors to move around the audience.

I was sat with my legs crossed, and my hands on my knee, when - mid-show - one of the characters comes out, waving a walking stick around, and crosses the walkway where I'm sitting... As he does so, he clonks me, pretty hard, right across the knuckles with his stick!

The woman next to me looks at me in surprise, "did he just HIT YOU?!" I'm nursing my hand, "Yeah!"

I was on the London Eye a few years ago and a lady made the following comments to her boyfriend/ husband (in all seriousness):

• when do you think we'll go upside down?
• oh look, the Eiffel Tower is over there

Excellent diagram OP.

Like BluebellCockleshell123 I have also seen a hand cart thing on a railway and was similarly bemused.

I like your diagram. Carries a certain irony that all the people have just heads and no bodies, whilst being watched by hungry tigers!

Love this

A family in a food court allowing their toddler to stand up on a table and walk around, next to a balcony rail(the table was just about level with it) with a 50 foot drop below. They weren't paying the slightest attention to her until I said something.

My neighbour putting out the bins in bright orange boxer shorts getting caught by a freak storm and getting drenched in seconds. I've never seen someone scramble over a wall so fast. How I laughed

@weneedboujiecocktails I laughed out loud reading yours 😂

Following the walking stick theme... I saw an old man at a bus stop in Weymouth playing air guitar on his walking stick as we drove past!!

I woke up at about 3am and couldn't get back to sleep. I went and had a look out of my window to see whether there were lights on in any other houses and two men walked down the street dressed in Henry VIII type clothes sharing a pizza.

We're miles from any nightclubs or student areas and it was a Sunday in November so not really prime fancy dress time/location.

Men look pretty fucking hot dressed as Henry VIII it turns out

Been working in a job for over 6 months and a massive spreadsheet hadn't been maintained, I had asked about it but manager said we don't need to do it. Hadn't been done for well over a year. Should've been done most days.

Last day before Christmas break she tells me I have to update the whole thing ready for new year, by end of the day. Sat with someone helping me and after an hour or so we both pause for about 3 seconds to think about how to fix the next bit. She totally lays in to me in front of everyone, saying that I am not paying attention to the person helping me. I need to focus and concentrate etc. Totally scolding me.

Don't know why I didn't tell her to fuck off to be honest. But the wtf moment...

As I was leaving many many hours later. She tells me to have great Christmas and she will get someone to drop off a Christmas present to my house???? WTAF.

It was fudge and my cat stole and ate it on new years eve and spent the night crying and shitting in the garden.
