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!'

Why can't you post the stuff from the maternity hospital, Harder?

Just really inappropriate and potentially upsetting for people reading, Bertie. If I was in a site full of midwives or obstetricians, I would, but not a site full of laypeople, a good proportion of whom are pregnant.

Yes, Rushere is quite a way west. Fairly close to Rwanda I guess. I never went east of Kampala. I've heard of Iganga though. I used to chat to someone years ago on a midwifery forum who worked there. I sent her a big parcel of clothes for the orphanage.

Probably the same forum I was on viva, that's how we arranged it!

It would have been. She used to arrange electives, etc.

Taking a prospective tenant around our rental house we realised the current tenants had installed a pole dancing kit in the master bedroom.

Neil (2sheikhs) - You do seem a tad accident-prone and, er, hot tempered?
"My boss hated me though. A couple of months before that, I delivered some stuff to his house in Wilmslow and went tear-arseing into his drive and ripped one of his £5000 gates of it's hinges and twisted his fence. He turned up on site one day and caught me asleep in his truck. And, just as a joke, I told him I'd love to lick his wifes flange."

I think you came off pretty well out of all that! Very glad the elderly lady hobbled away safely, and managed to rescue her valuable walking stick

Nigella she's an awful cunt for the cocaine.

Heston he's an awful cunt for dry ice

Ramsey he's an awful cunt for the cunts.

So versatile

Clemence shiiting hell. I shall be sending that link to my sister posthaste. I am shit with dates, but the GPO encounter would have been I reckon 2004ish. It is a much repeated family tale, now catchphrase. You have set me hunting. Is it possible to track an urban legend in the making. I will report back. This is so much bettef than family fucking trees.

Ha, it's totally understandable how that would get to urban legend status, it's amazing BUT I'm now worried about all the other urban legends- could this mean they all have a basis of truth. Off to have slender man nightmares.

"Suddenly he emasculated" ha ha ha ha :o

Neil I remember that! I live very close to it! The pics in the local paper of the lady sat in her car smiling and waving like she was on a boat, very glad it didnt sink!

As a student I worked in a cafe to help fund my was through University.

One busy weekend afternoon a very heavily pregnant woman came in with her husband. Part way through their visit she got up to use the ladies room and her waters broke. A colleague actually asked them to clean up the liquids before they left as leaving them for a staff member to clean up was a breach of health and safety. She even went and got a mop an bucket!!!

I was like, what the actual F!!! Then proceeded to clean them up myself!

Crying at an awful cunt for....!!!

Another bus one, dark winter night about 8pm, put my hand out for the bus and clothesline a man on a bike with no lights dressed all in black!!

Health and safety breach my arse!
I never heard that line when I had to clean up customers' vomit when waitressing as a teenager.
I remember one bloke stepping over me as I was on my knees cleaning the carpet and the bastard never left a tip!

sauvignon I know. I'm still OH MY GOD 9 years later when I think about it x

Years ago I was waiting to use a public loo; three cubicles and two of us waiting. A very smartly dressed middle aged woman came in, saw the queue and instead of waiting walked to the end of the wash area, pulled down her pants, squatted and pissed on the floor!

Afterwards she washed her hands, checked her make-up, gave me one of those dirty up-and-down looks and walked out.

Even now I just thinking about it.

Today I've been an awful cunt for the BBQ beef Hula Hoops.

Loving that 'awful cunt for' is appearing to become a meme!

I'm an awful cunt for toast today

I'm an awful cunt for tonight.

What did she even mean by 'she's an awful cunt for the butter'...?

Elderly lady on a mobility scooter was pootling down the road. Coming in the other direction was a snappily dressed chap in his 50's, so intent on his mobile phone that he didn't see her until she had pretty much performed an emergency stop within inches of him - it was busy enough that she couldn't really have maneuvered her scooter round him.

He then proceeded to let loose a torrent of abuse at her (including swearing), before striding off, nose in his phone again! Rude, arrogant prick.

Great, great thread BTW - think my favourite so far is the man who tipped honey/oil (sorry can't remember which!) over the rude lady with the obnoxious child in the supermarket.

Dh and I were on the M25, driving back to London from Cambridge, about 13 years ago.
Suddenly we went past 4 young boys (10-12 ish) riding bikes on the hard shoulder in the opposite direction.
I was driving and went 'that's stupid' ( I'm not from the UK) but DH was horrified and called the police.

Frikadellen I think syrup sounds like a way better way to make a scene than jam notalwaysright.com/when-customers-actually-give-a-jam/23895

During one of the windy storms a couple of years back I was taking the DDs swimming, but a few miles from home I turned a corner and found a tree had fallen right across the road so had to stop. It must only just have happened because I was the first car there and it's a fairly main road. A car approached from the other direction and also stopped. We sat there for a little while looking puzzled at each other, and I was just about to get out and ask the driver to see if we could move the tree off the road together when a white van came screaming up from behind and screeched to a halt next to me. The doors opened, about four men with chainsaws leaped out, chopped the tree into bits, moved it off the road, jumped back into the van and drove off, all in about 30 seconds flat. The other driver and I were , but it certainly solved the problem!!

I guess they were a tree clearing crew who were out and about due to the weather and came across this tree by chance, but it was certainly handy for me!
