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

He was a very skinny ned type.

I read this thread up to p4, then went for a walk to pick blackberries with DH and DCs. Walking along by a very fast flowing and, in places, deep stream. Heard a very odd sploshing noise and saw a large bird, in the water hurtling downstream and going in and out of the water in a dolphin-likw sort of way. It eventually took off and flew downstream towards the beach, about a mile away.

It was a cormorant.

My face is still in mode.

(Will now read rest of thread.)

One from back in the days of landlines - I answered the phone and was asked "can I speak to Rachel, please?" Rachel was my little sister, so I went and got her. The person wanted to wish her happy birthday, but her birthday was months away. She was trying to explain this, and it took a few minutes before the two of them realised that the caller had the wrong number and it was just a weird coincidence that the name happened to be right! I'm guessing they didn't speak to their Rachel very often so didn't realise the voice was wrong. It was very odd.

A few weeks ago, i went into my kitchen at about 11pm to get a cuppa and there was a hedgehog in the middle of the floor....

Something was wrong with the kitchen sink in a family member's house some time ago. Needed a washing up bowl to be put in the cupboard beneath the pipes to catch dripping water, so we left the under the sink cupboard door open to keep an eye on it.

Relative noticed that the bowl had got pretty full. So picked it up and quickly emptied it down the sink above....

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

Comvit - maybe they were ghosts 😱😱😱

(Or a dream!!!)

Going back to the German (or German-dwelling) poster who saw a group of naked men. Come to Teufelssee in Berlin, nude lake but unspoken dress code is that cockrings shall be worn!

I have a lake round the corner from where I live and yes, they glint in the sunlight here too . The episode with my mum was just so perfect as she'd literally just got off the plane, fresh from the UK, and the timing (and their tans) so perfect!

I love Germany.

Teufelssee is where this happened, too:

Only in the east

Omg that's vile. That makes me heave when I see people doing that. I'd of been physically sick.

I was in the car with my mum and sister when I was a teenager, going probably 30mph ish and a seagull started flying along right beside the car, staring right in at my mum in the drivers seat. It kept pace with us for several minutes just staring at my mum as it flew right next to her head the other side of her window, she was freaking out completely and trying to keep driving safely until it eventually dropped off and left us. It was seriously the weirdest thing that’s ever happened and we still talk about it 25 years later.

@labazsisgoingmad

actually would be very cool walking round with a bat ive done it with baby birds and hedgehogs we have rescued tucked in your cleavage is the best place to keep them

Heaven help the poor little things if I was raising them. I'm as flat as a board!

he bent down, grabbed a pigeon, wrung it's neck, put it under his jacket and then turned to me, winked and said 'pigeon pie for tea'..... I was HORRIFIED!

So would I be - those things are riddles with vermin dn internal parasites. Eating a rat would be less injurious to health.

So it's well called the "Devil's Lake" is it?

I once went to a well known fast food chain for a quick lunch with a toddler I was looking after that day. I asked the staff member why they never had any vegetarian food suitable for children as all they had available was a spicy bean burger and obviously too spicy for a little one. I’ll never forget her response. She very calmly said “I didn’t know babies could be born vegetarian”. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The funniest thing I’ve seen (few years ago) was at the gym. Total twatwaffle trying to take a selfie whilst he was running full pelt in the treadmill.... mistimed and shot off the back of said treadmill landing in a heap against the back wall of the gym. Oh it did make me chortle.

Another theatrical one. I had a cyst on my wrist for years until I went to a play at the Edinburgh Festival and an actor jumped into my lap, where my hand and wrist were resting. He was so heavy he flattened the cyst which never came back. But he nearly squashed me as well.

This reminded me of an incident on a local country road between Chathill and the A1 (in the north east).

A MAHOOSIVE BULL - ring through its nose and everything was being taken down the road (either to service the herd, or back home to have a rest after a few weeks with the Lay-Deez. It was just lumbering towards us, completely untethered, at its own pace, followed by the farmer in his 4x4.

Cars were building up behind them (nobody was going to try to pass that, and the ones going towards (including us) them slowed to a snail's pace and stopped while it passed (there was nowhere to even get off the road or pull in to the side).

As it approached it stared directly into the car, and continued to stare through the side window - and it stopped as it passed us. It just looked straight at me with it's tiny little mad bull eyes . . . I was terrified!

The farmer just pipped the horn and it started off again at a leisurely pace. I was nearly sobbing with sheer terror! DH thought it was hilarious.

I'm pretty sure it was a Limousin - they are a popular breed round these parts.

@latheritup

I am so happy you all like my diagram!

I have thoroughly enjoyed everyone's WTF moments.. hope to read some more!

Actually that was probably the best diagram I've seen on here! 🥇

@rainwaterflow tell me more about this lake! Why the cock rings? Is it a shagging lake?

I seen this too in Wales.

Watching out of the living room window the local elderly vicar attempt to parallel park and hitting our car parked next to him. Confronting him only to get repeated denials he'd touched our car!

My H used to keep pet snakes. One had a problem with it's eyes, so in order to keep it warm, I put it in a pillowcase and put it down my top to visit the vets who had a snake specialist from the local zoo working there. As I was sitting in the waiting room with jiggling boobs the man sitting next to me kept staring so I told him I had a snake in there and he asked if he could see it. Not realising that by now I must have drawn some attention to myself, I got the snake out of the pillowcase to show him, only for the woman sitting opposite to give out a loud scream. I'm probably someone's WTF moment.

dentydown oh god, imagine if you did fall off
