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 Shock

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

I had been babysitting, and I had to walk home along some cobbled streets. It was about midnight and February and it had got suddenly colder. It had judst started raining lightly, and the rain was immediately freezing on the cobbles because of the ground being so cold. This made it quite difficult to walk because you couldn't get a grip on anything.

I was stumbling along slowly, clinging onto random cars and walls. Other people on the street were having the same experience and every so often we would catch each other's eye and laugh because it felt so ridiculous.

I then got around the corner to a small music venue which was just closing and out came a stream of drunk people dressed like clowns. Each one of them in turn was leaving the bar, would immediately slip over on the icy cobbles and the rest of the group would laugh. There were about 12 of them! It was the most bizarre and hilarious thing. I wish I'd had my phone camera but I'd tucked it in my bag so I had both hands to balance.

Driving to work about 7am on a country road. There was a small farm shop and standing near there was a naked man wearing a rabbit head.

A man in nothing but a reindeer thong running along the road
Two elderly women both dressed in sumo costumes and carrying handbags, walking along the road chatting Confused

I forgot the frightening one. Locking up a shop, I'm outside the door and colleague is stood just inside the door setting the alarm. I pushed her back in the shop and slammed the door while she did WTF face. A man was walking past (5pm in a busy town centre) holding a machete

Gone on a Dutch hotel short break, cane downstairs for breakfast and as we sat there, others came in. They were all men. All sporting the most magnificent of moustaches - curly, handlebars, you name it, it was there! Apparently, there was a convention.

It was 1993 so before WTF was a thing...but Dearest Boyfriend now Husband and I decided to go to Alton Towers. We were just leaving Burton upon Trent and were still on a normal urban road when we had to stop for a herd of cows to cross the road. It took a few minutes and we just looked at each other. They crossed to the next field and we drove on. Didn't put us off though, I now live in a village 6 miles from Burton Smile

A 40 something professional looking woman getting out a little toy seal and put him opposite her on her table at Carluccios then talked to it throughout her meal (she was alone). My friend and I in our twenties ignored this then she starting crying. God felt so sorry for her dread to think of her back story 🙁
