To think they were strange?

[Ripeberry]

This afternoon as it was tipping down with rain, I just thought that I would take DD1 and DD2 with me to the pre-school that I clean on a weekend and during weekday evenings.
Normaly it is very quiet up there, no houses nearby and surrounded by fields.
At around 2pm, about 6 cars pull up at the gates (locked) and about 15 people get out and just stand on the other side of the gate looking towards the pre-school, where we were.
They were just standing there in the pouring rain, to be honest they were freaking me out a bit, could not recognise any of them.
I took my time finishing the cleaning, taking 2 hours instead of the usual 1hr and they were still there.
We had to leave so I got to the gate with DDs, put the rubbish in the bin and got in the car.
I then looked at all the cars and wrote down the reg numbers just in case anything happened.
They were just staring at me as I was not supposed to be there , well hello I'm the one who's got the electronic pass.
Don't know what they wanted, but it sure freaked me out and I was too nervous to ask them outright.

Bet it's something really boring . If they were up to anything odd, they wouldn't all gather in one place so openly! Where was it? Ring the local paper and see if they know. Or post a message on a local forum.

very weird - they were there for 2 hours, just staring? Talking between themselves?
Just out of curiosity, what was the link between the rain and you taking the DDs with you? What would they normally do?

Maybe they were cleaners in training and had been sent to see it done properly

ooh has anyone heard of that flash- thing? can't remember the name, it's when a load of internet sprites agree to get together at a particular place...

Dogging aliens?

"I hear the planet earth is good for dogging"

Could any of them have been Keanu Reeves?

Was Elvis there?

Masons

how very odd. were they in suits? maybe theres' something goingon re the site that your bosses don't know about or can't tell you?

v odd on a sunday tho. how bizarre

Did any of them look like they were trying to phone home?

nanu nanu

pag - just spat on the keyboard!

can someone please tell me what I'm trying to think of?

in my last post I mean, not expecting psychics

flashmobbing. Where people all arrive in one location and do something a bit strange in the name of fun/art.

I don't think what ripeberry saw could have been flashmobbing. Firstly, most flashmobs involve at least a hundred people, and secondly, those people aren't generally middle aged men

thank you
I got flash, but couldn't remember the rest!

flashmobbing at a new level
next it'll be only people who are 80yrs+

80yr+ flashmob: Silver Surfer's meet

Ocean's 8?

Resevoir dogs? Were they wearing shades?

No shades but one of them had a silver porshe! I don't usually clean on a Sunday either..but our building is interesting, maybe they want to get one.
It's not a village hall or a brick and mortar building.
And NO it's not a teepee

Cocoon?

They are property developers and probably want to buy the place. They were envisaging some lovely apartments and lots of cash and forgot the time.

In the rain? Definitely Invasion of Body Snatchers...
