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

A busker with a ginger cat in NYC. The cat was sitting quietly on the pavement wearing a green polo neck.
I wish I’d taken a photo as I still think wtf did I really see that?

The man driving a bed was probably Edd China.

I ised to live inna flat in London, with a view over a small park. One morning about 5am i was getting ready for work and saw lights outside, went to the window and in the middle of the green (maybe 20m from the house) there was a circular stage with a band on in and cameras circiling them, lights were flashing and the band was rocking out in COMPLETE SILENCE!
I figured afterwards they must have been filming a music video.

Overtaken on the motorway (we were doing 70mph) by a man drinking red wine straight out of the bottle. My husband (he was driving, just did a cartoon WTF? look at each other.

A man walking a goose and a Jack Russell in my local park - in a large city, not bear any farms. The goose was called Boris. I didn’t ask the name of the dog.

In the park with my D.C, a middle aged woman comes in, very smartly dressed, nice skirt suit, briefcase, heels etc. Gets on the swing and swings away for about 10 minutes, then gets off and leaves the park. :)

I was a passenger in a car stopped at traffic lights and was just idly gazing out the window as you do when I saw this woman push her (presumably)husbands wheelchair towards the edge of the pavement.She then proceeded to roll up his trouser leg and emptied his catheter bag onto the pavement.It wasn't even as if she emptied it into a drain at the side of the road.

This isn't my moment. It belongs to two elderly people that I have never met. I don't know their names although their house has been pointed out to me.

It was in the early 70's and my uncle, a very quiet and diffident man, was working late in his office. The office was in an old town house in an area of similar buildings, mostly residential with the odd one converted into offices.

My uncle finished off his work, went downstairs and found that the cleaner had locked the door from the outside and he had no key to open it. Wanting to cause the least amount of awkwardness he didn't want to phone anyone to get the cleaner to come back (long before the days of mobile phones) so he went upstairs to the top floor and decided to climb out of the sky light.

He climbed out of the sky light and dropped down on to the flat roof of a neighbouring property with an open skylight. He climbed in through the skylight, finding himself in a scullery.

So being the shy type he is he walked through the house, through the kitchen where the elderly couple were sitting at the table eating tea, nodded and said good evening and let himself out of the front door never seeing them again.

We have teased him so much over the years about what he did and imagine the old couple sitting there saying "Did you see what I saw?"

Surely 2/3 of the fittings on soft play are made up of bodily fluids.
Nothing compared to the average paddling pool, obviously.

There used to be a driving experience called something like Wacky Races and I'm sure one of these was driving a bed!

My cat had killed a bat, which had a baby (still naked) hanging on to her. I took the baby, got advice, and raised it (on goats milk on a paintbrush, fed every four hours). I had to get a special Bat Handling licence in order to keep him! Once he had his fur, he used to hang up against my skin inside my clothes to keep warm.

He went to a bat sactuary in the end because obviously he never learned to hunt. He was adorable.[/quote]
This is an AMAZING story. I love it!

I accidentally followed a police chase last year on my way back from collecting DS from preschool.

Massive 4x4 being tailed by two police cars, sirens wailing, me thinking 'ooh this is a bit exciting isn't it?!'. It quickly went from exciting to outright WTF when the driver pulled in to my street, stopped the car in the middle of the road and was tackled (and pepper sprayed) by officers ON MY DRIVEWAY! I then had to sit awkwardly in my car at the end of the road watching as they cuffed him, carted him off and removed the stolen vehicle, all while DS was pressing his face against the window shrieking 'police car mummyyyyyy!'.

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.

Sorry havent RTFT but the naked lady has made me lol harder than I ever have on MN.

My neighbour downstairs came out as I went into the front door of our apartment block. He was wearing an anorak and nothing else. He said, very blase, "Oh its you"....I said, "X, you forgot your pants..." I think he has some issues as we get police/ambo attendance fairly regularly but is harmless.

I saw a woman in broad daylight in my street stand over the drain in the road pull her knickers to one side and wee, straighten herself up and carry on walking by.

Driving down the M26 one Monday, around 6pm (it’s a very rural road) and a butt naked man emerges from a bush near the hard shoulder and waves at me.
I half think I dreamt it. But no, he was definitely there!

Have loved reading this thread. Perfect end to a tiring day, really laughed!

@oohyoudevilyou @MrsCattywampus @ravenmum @IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere all get special mentions - yours are just brilliant 💫

Sat on a coach going through Vietnam with my boyfriend and the blinds were shut as some people were sleeping. Tucked the corner of mine open to look at the beautiful country we were travelling through.

Saw a dog being roasted on a BBQ. Not being racist, it was a dog, fully and clearly a dog. I closed the curtain again after that. I know it's cultural in some places but it broke my heart.

I think most emergency workers will agree:there's very little you haven't seen or heard.
Once attended an attempted male suicide in his bath at home.There was blood everywhere and I ended up in a fight with his partner who was screaming I'd attended just to look at the poor man's willy rather than try to save his life.she was determined I wasn't "going to get a look".luckily managed to lock her out of the bathroom whilst we looked after him.
He did survive.
Another lady was very drunk and refused to let me anywhere near her as she insisted that I looked gay and demanded my female colleague dealt with her so she did.then she might have let it slip ...

Our cats were about six months old and had only recently been allowed out into the garden. One was very cautious and never went beyond the parameters of the fence, but the other was bolder and would leave the garden for maybe half an hour at a time. On his fourth proper say outside he did this and disappeared for ages. Starting to worry I was wandering around shaking the cat biscuits and calling his name. Suddenly he jumped over the fence and onto the roof of the shed- this a still quite small, six month old kitten- with a whole, raw chicken in his mouth. As he jumps off the shed and down onto the fence and onto the lawn, four perfectly round stuffing balls fell out of he chicken.....

..... The cats are old now, but I still often think of that stolen dinner and how there’s someone nearby who tells the story of how they turned around to get the potato peeler out of the drawer and the next thing that they knew, their chicken had disappeared!

Attended a scene recently (ambulance) where during a brawl;

Lad 1 had managed to stab himself with the knife he was brandishing at Lad 2.
Lad 2 had broken his own leg attempting to kick Lad 1.
Their joint girlfriend (!) Was stood between the two of them trying to comfort both 😂

I was in a busy shopping centre last year, and apologised to a mum for nearly bumping into her and her pram, in which there was a newborn baby.

As I moved & glanced down, I had to stifle a scream, as the 'baby' was grey & lifeless. I realised quickly it was one of those 'reborn' dolls and that the poor lady wasn't quite right.

I'd seen them in TV programmes but never in a setting like this & this obviously was a bit worse for wear.

The lady had the pram kitted out with everything you'd need for a baby, nappy bag, bottles, blankets. It was 💔

She was tenderly checking on the baby every so often - but then would get distracted & walk away and just leave the 'baby' resulting in lots of concerned shoppers looking around, checking 'baby' and reacting like me.

It stayed with me for a while, what her situation was & just the sadness of it I suppose.
