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

Walking by my local college and seeing firemen chasing a white peacock around the grounds of a sheltered accommodation building.
Several years later and accompanying my daughter to school seeing a peacock strolling down the middle of the road (not the same area)

Just saw a man cycling down a very steep hill on a mega busy road, merrily texting and wearing headphones?!

A goat on a trampoline ! Yesterday , in the middle of a deserted Norfolk fen!

Love that diagram.

Too many WTF moments to count, most are work related.

An elderly man came in to A&E one night with a whole bulb of garlic up his bum. He'd been down the pub all day and had a stinking cold: his friend told him if he stuck a bulb of garlic up his rear end it would cure his flu so he did it.

All I could think was "how did he get here like that? Taxi? Drove? Walked? Cycled?".

Hilarious.

Love the diagram! Did the tigers eat his body?

We were at Tintagel in Cornwall & they were recreating the costumes & activity’s from King Arthur’s time. One “peasant” was doing a bow & arrow demonstration - LOADS of kids fascinated. So he lets off the arrow & it instantly kills a pigeon in mid flight! Drops dead out of the sky! Lots of explaining to small children required 😂

@ravenmum

The man driving a bed was probably Edd China.

Ooh - thank you for that - I've just googled him. What an interesting man.

Just added his autobiography to my Wishlist

no i never got to see bob was way before

Eating our burgers in the car outside a drive thru burger king in Gloucester...

Someone drives through on a motorised sofa... had to ask my sister if we really had just seen that. We had, and in fact ended up following them for a way back out of gloucester!

I have caused others some WTF moments... the lady in the local shop was most perturbed when my rat, who I had forgotten was asleep in the front pocket of my shirt, stuck her head out as I got to the tills..

So surprised was she, she shouted 'WE DON'T ALLOW DOGS IN THE SHOP'...

'I said 'oh good, but this is a rat so...' and went on my way.

On the way home from a school theatre trip aged about 14. We were in a coach so height compared to cars means you could see right into the cars driving past. A man overtook the coach whilst ‘pleasuring’ himself in view of the whole coach.

I was a bit wtf to actually see that, but also that someone would do that whilst driving at 70mph on a motorway.

I once saw a man walking a full grown sheep on a lead down the pavement in a very urban street just outside of a city centre

I’ve had a lady hit my car (while I was stationary engine off) and she said I hit her when she was reversing

what happened @Zoejj77 did yu get her details

A 6ft transvestite walking around London with a rabbit in his arms, a woman on the bus with a bag of poo with poo smeared on the bag and her arm 🤯 a elderly Somalian man wearing a toy pirate hat and a car upside down in the middle of the road with no one in or around it and a tin man, cowardly Lion, scarecrow and Dorothy walking down the road with fags on the go.

notlostjustexploring This reminds me of the time me and my then sis-in-law heard noises in a nightclub toilet.... thought someone might be in trouble so got the bouncer.... one woman decided to play with herself while her friend filmed it.... just as the bouncer poked his head over the partition the friend decided to join in .... we were completely 😮

to be fair the first time I went through the eurotunnel I thought it would be like being at the aquarium when you have the fish swimming over the clear perspex (or whatever it is) walls.

I was about 20.

@MrsCattywampus

So many old men hitting things with sticks! I was once at an outdoor table at a cafe in the Yorkshire dales, very lovely and bucolic. The garden had a drystone wall around it and at one point a random duck from the stream nearby hopped up and stood on the wall. Not a problem! But a raging old man with a walking stick got up spluttering and went over and brandished the stick at the duck, attempting to twat it one until it quickly flew away, shouting "Gerraway with yer! Gerroff!" as if it was a dangerous dog attacking us or something.

My granddad used to go for a walk every day and angrily hit nettles with his stick in a completely pointless way.

I wonder if it's just a need some old men have!

Great story!!!

Also reminds me that I always think 'bucolic' seems like a word that should describe something awful, not idyllic!

@HereForTheTinsel

Your mum 😂😂😂😂😂😂

On a WhatsApp PTA group last Christmas, after discussing ways of reducing the amount of plastic waste we generate, including throwing glitter all over the garden at Christmas (reindeer food), one of the mums said...

"Cave men believe fire was a hazard ... turns out in evolution it’s a great thing.

Only a personal perspective but I don’t buy into the plastics issues - evolution is earth - stone - fire and maybe plastic / metal ... how will we conquerspace if we don’t evolve 🙄
* Humans are scared of things they don’t actually know about

BUT VERY HAPPY TO GO WITH THE FLOW !
Ultimately if the earth halts because of plastics it will evolve without us anyway ! WIN WIN EARTH 🌍 ! X"

WTAF? Needless to say there were a few faces and comments along the lines of 'the plastic waste problem is an actual proven thing, not something that you choose to believe in or not'.

@GabsAlot

what happened *@Zoejj77* did yu get her details

Yes @GabsAlot no issues but it was more the WTF I’m parked up

My SIL was a primary school teacher; and one very windy day she looked out of the classroom window and saw a seagull going by-backwards!

In Thailand .. witnessed going around 'Anu Sawali Chai ' .. the war memorial.. Think Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park Corner ... Motorcycle.. on board a man with a toddler on his lap. A woman behind with a baby in a papoose .. another woman (sister ? Maid ?) carrying a sheet of plate glass with ANOTHER baby strapped to her back in a sarong..

I was used to parents and a kid on the front .. but this took the biscuit..

I have one and I'm so excited as I have a picture and a diagram in one!

Visiting the Natural History museum in Oxford they have big stone staircase one of which has a ledge with a massive drop down to the ground floor. As we are going up the stairs I spot a toddler crawling on this ledge, luckily they didn't get close to the edge and I did say to the parents have you seen the drop. They obviously hadn't and we completely oblivious to it 😱 just shrugged and took the toddler down.

It was one of those moments you think did that just happen and they were so relaxed about it.

I was once walking through a very wide street in town, it was early morning so not that busy (relevant). There was plenty of space for everyone.
Out of nowhere, I felt my feet being what I thought was being grabbed strongly, it really hurt and I started to panic. I turned around to see what was happening and someone who was pushing another person in a wheelchair had decided to run me over! My feet were dragged under the wheelchair and I ended up on the ground like a worm. They both just carried on like nothing had happened.
If weren't for my relatives almost wetting themselves with laughter witnessing this bizarre incident, I might have thought it was imaginary.

I used to live in a small seaside town. We were going out one morning and needed cash so I went down to the local cashpoint, it was about 8.30am. I looked up from my car and there was a young-ish (30s maybe?) man strolling down the high street stark bollock naked. Literally could not believe my eyes.

@yolio the stuff that happens at Irish funerals 😂 my father 85 died with a full head of hair, one fella gave dad's fringe a tug in the funeral home to see if it was a wig, my mother, one of my brothers and myself were the only family to see it happen. Brother and I were stunned and didn't know how to react, then mam started laughing uncontrollably and we erupted too. Everyone else was getting angry with us for laughing.

Then at mams funeral a few months later, a guy came in after queuing for hours, realised he didn't recognise any of us or my mam in the coffin, turned and walked out the entry door of the funeral home. Turns out a woman of the same surname died in the neighbouring county, and its a rare surname. Poor guy went to the wrong funeral.
