Tell me about the most jaw dropping OMG moment you've ever witnessed...

[AlpacaPicnic]

Because everyone's got a story! And here is mine...

I was on a bus recently, quite a full bus. A wheelchair in the wheelchair space, one lady with a pram (unfoldable I think) in the buggy space. Bus pulled up at a bus stop, where two ladies are waiting with pushchairs, chatting to each other.

One lady gets on, parks her pushchair into the remaining buggy space. The second lady tries to get on, but the bus driver won't let her as the buggy space is now full. She asks the lady with the pram to get off the bus so she can travel with her friend. 'Pram lady' looks at her askance, and says sorry, but she needs to get home. Both pushchair ladies then proceed to loudly and verbally abuse the pram lady for being selfish and not getting off the bus, so they can travel together.

Everyone else on the bus was stunned into silence, the bus driver throws both pushchair ladies off the bus and drives off. Pushchair ladies stand at bus stop yelling and shaking fists at the receding bus!

I've never known so many bus passengers strike up conversation all at once, making sure the 'pram lady' was ok, and generally saying 'what a pair!'

Birdman mentioned above is still around, often see him in the barbican pubs.
my story is on a train with a colleague sat opposite a pleasant enough young man, half way into the journey 4 girls get on, one sits in the seat next to him, they strike up a brief conversation then about 10 mins later her hand goes under the table and the bag on his lap starts moving up and down. I was but being terribly british pretended nothing was going on, colleague looked oblivious too. she got off a few stops later and he moved seats and colleague turned to me and said' bloody hell did that just happen we were

Or living next door to the rented flat....a variety of different people coming & going. A group moved in that we laughingly called "the Russian spys" as we never saw them- just heard them go through the entire history of western pop music. Didn't think much of it until one day the police knocked on the door. They were trying to get in to next door but couldn't as they had installed steel shuttering & inner doors apparently. They went through ours & over the wall & managed to pry a way in through the back. Apparently if they hadn't they were going to go through our sitting room walll....

Moved to the sticks now & nothing much happpens here apart from a bit of wife swapping & the swingers hotel...

More Camberwell fun - There was a black lady I used to see on the top of a bus. However she always dressed in white and powdered her face and hair white too. Two black ladies on the bus were saying to another that she wanted to be white. I assume (though perhaps I shouldn't) that she was not quite 100% if you see what I mean. It is a very black area and some of them used to take offence looking at her - low rumblings but hopefully no violence. As another poster said, lots of weird things happening there but of course not far from Maudsley psychiatric hospital so not surprising really*.

I have fond memories of Camberwell Green -the whole families of alchoholics that gathered there each day.

The one and only time I went to Maccy D's. This is before I heard they thickened the milkshakes with ...chicken fat (don't know, don't care if they still do, won't be going back). Any how they were a bit slow to serve. The two beligerant fat irish women were not keen on waiting. They were in front of me. There was one queue and two possible server points. They served a black guy ahead of the irish women and automatically it kicked off. They even accused him of having aids (wtf??). I should have left a long time ago and should not really have been surprised when they chucked a milkshake -which landed on me. Nice!

After all that I did not bother with a milkshake!

• Nearly forgot! I was looking for a flat/room in the area. Bloke on phone said look out for a white house. It turned out to be a big block of flats near the Maudsley (should have been a red flag right there). He was obviously not quite right. He told me all his male tenants were jealous of him having a girlfriend and some pissed on the mattress. The mattress I would have been sleeping on if I stayed there. Apart from him being strange, was the fact that the bedroom door was reeded glass and no lock. It was the darkest and dingyest pace I had ever seen

I remember the black lady covered in white. She was very striking and disconcerting. I used to see her in 1996/7/8. I've often wondered about what happened to her.

Forgot another! Not in Camberwell this time. It was on the tube. Either District or Central - doesn't matter.

A bloke got in and sat opposite me and a friend. Thought nothing of it but he had sunglasses on and was staring . I looked over and realised that although he was wearing shorts, they were very baggy and you could see everything. The reason for the sunglasses so he could see our reaction but we could not see his. I managed to ignore but my stupid freind whispered (bit of a delilah decibel no I am surprised the whole carriage did not hear) "Oh poor man, he doesn't realise you can see everything" Duh! Course he could, which is why when he got off, his bag was placed in front to hide it!!!!!!

Honestly my friend is dopey at times!

My mums friend was once on a train sat opposite 3 teenager girls. The one in the middle was staring at her and none of them were talking to each other and she was starting to get a bit freaked out but being a typical Brit she didn't want to seem rude by moving!

Eventually the train guard came down and politely asked her if she wouldn't mind following him, she asked him why and he wouldn't tell her, just kept saying she had to go with him to another carriage. Eventually she did as he said. At the next stop several policeman got on the train and everyone had to evacuate the train.

It turned out that the staring girl in the middle was actually dead and had been killed by the other 2!!

You win!!

I was only about 14 when it happened, and it's stayed with me ever since, scary story!!

Sorry Lj I'm not 100% I believe yours. I've seen that exact story circulated so many times on facebook (If you don't like/comment/share within the next hour the dead girl will haunt you etc etc).

Similar thing on snopes.

Lj8893 FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen similar things on Facebook all the time.

Honestly though, she's not one to make it up, she's an ex nurse and now a sure start volunteer, she was our neighbour at the time and came straight to ours to talk to my mum as she was in such a state about it!

Holey Moley!!

Many years ago I was watching my then boyfriend playing Sunday morning football. Half way through the first half a police van dew up, four burly policeman ran out and arrested the centre forward for the opposing team. They put a sub on and the game continued as if nothing had happened.

Working in 5* hospitality while at uni. Guest staying in a suite wakes up in the middle of the night due to an unfamiliar sound. Gets up, walks into the lounge, finds other guest, stark naked, in his room pissing against the credenza.

We never did figure out how he obtained the key.

Next most jaw-dropping moment after that: how relaxed suite guy was about the whole thing. I thought I'd seen it all by that time and I would have screamed into the receptionist's face over that.

Lj8893 that's an urban myth!

Oops I see CunnyFunt beat me to it. This story happened to my aunt's friend....!

I'm pretty certain it happened, I would be extremely shocked for her to make it up, she's one of the most sensible women I know!

A couple of years ago, DH found the guy from the council who sweeps up the leaves etc on our drive, pissing up against the garage door - the drive is at the bottom of our back garden, but even so! The CCTV across the road didn't seem to bother him...

And on Friday, I was at Sainsburys with DS2, putting my shopping in the car. There was a small Kia parked directly opposite me, being washed by one of those carpark car wash blokes. He jumped out of the way very swiftly as a bloke driving a Merc attempted to park in the empty space next to it, by bouncing his car off the back corner of the Kia. He got it all parked up, got out, and denied having hit any car - there were 4 witnesses! I took a photo on my phone and went to have a chat with the security guard in the shop, they found both him and the lady whose car he hit and it all appeared sorted out by the time I left. But, how can you not notice you've hit another car?!

The pelvic thrusting one is wonderful.

DP and I had a nice meal in a local Chinese restaurant.

Was a set menu and we had rice wrapped in leaves (not something we'd ordered before). I commented about the leaves and wondered where they'd come from/what kind they were.

We jokingly agreed that they were probably from the park. Not that we were bothered, we're greedy and eat anything!

About a week later we were wandering past a different restaurant and we saw a waiter in his full smart-waiter gets up run outside to a grassy area with a tree, scoop up a loads of leaves and run back inside.

So, fancy rice wrapped in leaves? Don't order it!

I was on new recruits’ training in the Territorial Army, in an MOD owned training area. We were learning to fire and manoeuvre, so we were about 100 people in a large flat field, lying on the grass, jumping up and running forward and throwing ourselves to the ground again, firing blank rounds, whilst the sergeants let off thunder flashes and smoke grenades. When a shout came over the field “STOP THE WAR, HORSE RIDER” So we all stopped firing and politely waited for the horse rider to go away. But no! She rode her horse into our field and started practicing dressage amongst us. When she first entered the field she trotted her horse directly over someone who was very lucky not to get kicked!

As she practiced her transitions, and flying leg changes round the field, steering her horse towards all the people on the ground, making them jump up and scatter out of the way of her advancing hooves our sergeants chased her round the field trying to remember their polite vocabulary, and asking if she could please go away. She disdainfully ignored them. The horse grew increasingly wound up, by all the smoke, cordite smells, and people in green leaping up from the ground to get out of his way, so the rider whipped the horse, and made him do his transitions again.

It was an amazing display of arrogance I shall never forget.

Jerk with a merc...

What a shocking thread and no more poi pleeease
