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

Many years ago, sitting in class and everyone is supposed to be reading a text ready to do a practice exam question.

Teenage Male is fidgety.

Teacher walks from back of classroom and slaps desk with ruler, really suddenly and very loud.

Teenage male makes a mess up his jumper as it turns out he's been having a wank under the desk.

I always say I have something happen to me everytime I go abroad... In Paris a WW2 air raid siren went off on the other side of the city when I was at the top of the Eiffel Tower..
In Amsterdam I ended up accidentally in a Gay Bar while looking for a loo..
In Rome I had two men arguing about which way I should go on the bus.. Lots of shouting and arm waving...
In Vienna this year I thought I'd manage to avoid my WTF until the last morning.. I came across this man wearing a papier mache horses head playing the accordion!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

When I was a teenager, my mother was driving me to town. On the side of the (busy) road, a man was walking. He was carrying a huge wooden cross on his back, it must have been nearly 10ft tall. There was a little wheel at the bottom of the cross, so that he didn't have to drag it.

I think I remember seeing him on the news?

she asked if she could borrow my lip gloss

Definitely a WTF! .

In the churchyard of St Martin-in-the-Fields I saw a homeless man calmly grab a pigeon, snap its neck, and put it in his coat pocket. One fluid movement.

Not me, But DH once drove up the A1 to see me in Edinburgh one snowy NYE. It was late and snowing so hard that the police were basically shutting the road behind him and he was concerned he was going to get turned back. Anyhoo somewhere very bleak and rural in Northumberland he passed a 4x4 parked in a layby and rolling round on the ground engaging in fistycuffs were two blokes. We still wonder WTF that was all about!

I saw someone driving a double bed down the a303 once. I don't know how the man was steering it, he was just laid down on the duvet/pillows wearing goggles with a massive grin on his face

I think I was responsible for some poor lady's WTF moment.

I had a bat hanging down the inside of my shirt collar (long story, don't ask). I went into a deli and asked for two slices of ham and, whilst the woman was service me, the bat wandered his way out from my collar across the open neck of my shirt, stretched his wings, then tucked himself back down inside the other side of my collar.

The lady serving me's eyes went very wide, but she didn't say anything and so neither did I. I just took my ham, paid and left. I can only imagine the conversation she had with her co-workers after I'd gone.

This is a great thread, I've laughed out loud at many!
I have lots but my favorite was my mum on holiday in Switzerland. She went out for a ride on the bus and spotted a "castle" entered it, enjoyed some lunch and singing to then realise she'd wandered in to an old people's home!!

Thank you to all you wonderful people.
I have just had the best laugh in a long time with tears running down my face!!!

I was on a bus is Las Vegas and a man had a bunch of puppies in his hoody pocket. Made me think about all the stranger danger campaigns of my childhood.

In Berlin. A giant BBQ drove by. I mean forget the Trabis, the steam cars, the beer bikes and so on - this was a giant BBQ - self-powered on tiny wheels.

One morning while on holiday on the Isle of Skye we were driving along very early in the morning to catch a boat trip to St Kilda. Went round a bend and there was a sheep lying in the middle of the road. We thought it must be dead and there was no room to drive round it. We were just about to get out to move it when it lifted its head, looked at us, got up and ambled to the side of the road. Stupid place to sleep!

Zaphod - that is sooooo cool! I want a bat to hang from my collar!!

The Warhorse walking stick incident reminds me of a trip to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, ages ago before risk assessments had been invented watching a sword fight on stage, which resulted in one fighter catching the other's sword at such an angle that it flew from his hand, point first, into the stalls. It bedded itself in between two chairs, and stayed there, slowly bobbing up and down, whilst the actors rushed to the edge of the stage, apologising furiously and checking to see if anyone had been impaled! Fortunately they hadn't but the person on either side of the stall were looking very pleased to still be alive!

@Comvit

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

If you were in Sussex, it could have been Bonfire!

And in Paris we saw a restaurant bus pass by. People having dinner served to them while seeing the sights. I just hoped the driver never had to brake suddenly.

@IncludeWomenInTheSequel

I used to live next to a homeless shelter.

Woke up to a racket one night, looked out the window and half a dozen guys from the shelter were sitting and singing the Club biscuits advert jingle in really loud operatic voices, harmonising and everything.

If you LIIIIIIKE a lot of chocolate on your biscuit

im sitting here giggling my dh asked me whats up i told hm hs just staring at me

brilliant

@RoyalChocolat Is this your man?

i have to ask sorry

Office admin bollocked me in an open plan office for doing exactly what she'd told me to do. How I stayed polite and not say, "Fuck off, you told me to do X so I did it" I have no idea.

I may have told this story on here before but a few years ago I was at a big, posh party and my feet in heels were killing me. I went to the loo and came up with the genius idea to pick my feet up and rest the soles against the cool toilet door while I sat on the loo. I was sat there for a few mins when someone I knew, but not very well, came into the toilet and went into the cubicle next to me.

They then phoned a friend. Not wanting to interupt I kept quiet, thinking they'd have a quick chat and leave.

They then proceded to have phone sex, complete with noises and showing the other party various bits of themselves over facetime (or whatever).

Sitting in the cubicle next to them trying not to make a noise, trying not to listen and realising I had been there too long to brazen it out and leave - it was like a sitcom.

Mine was when I was driving along a fairly fast main road near where I live. It was a weekday, so it was quite busy.

There was a white van in front of me driving very slowly and erratically because the driver was walking his dog at the same time as driving. The dog (a little white westie) was walking / trotting along the crown of the road and was on a flexi-lead that the driver was holding through his window as he drove. Madness, and I felt I could hardly dare to overtake because I had no idea what the poor dog would do and I didn't want it to end up under my wheels!!

On the same stretch of road I also once came across two horses and riders who were doing the same thing. Riding along the road as they are entitled to do, so I slowed right down and was waiting until I could go past very slowly and with plenty of space, as you should. I very quickly realised though that one of them had a dog with them (a golden retriever, I think). The rider was holding it on a flexi-lead as they rode along and it was wandering about all over the road!! I didn't know what to do but decided that I had no option other than to stay put and trundle along behind until they turned off, which they thankfully did a few minutes later. Again, I didn't want to hit the dog, and was worried about any effects on the horses and riders if anything happened.

Watched in slow motion as our huge rotty ran behind dh as he bent over fastening his shoe...
A 20 stone man rolling down a hill is a sight to see...

@ladycarlotta

Not quite wtf, just very pleasing - once in Naples I saw a man in a string vest riding a moped down an old bumpy street with a little boy hanging on behind. They saw a dog, and stopped to feed it a load of sausages they had. It felt like a film from the 50s.

We saw two lads and a moped on a moped in Naples. Seeing Mum, Dad, three kids and a baby all on one moped was a familiar sight as well.

The exact same happened to us but with a dog in Ireland. We were all beside ourselves that this poor dog had been hit by a car and left in the middle of the road. As soon as we got out to move the "poor thing" it lifted it's head, laid back down, huffed!!! and then got up and walked off 😂
