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!'

6am returning from dropping a friend off for an early morning train to go on holiday.

Drove past a guy running towards me followed by 6 men in balaclavas with steel bars, they circled him & proceeded to beat the daylights out of him as he was running.
I drove past slowly thinking WTF ...& WTF do I do ....beeped the horn really hard..thought fucking silly mare draw attention to yourself why don't you.
They disappeared, I drove fast to the nearby police station & the office wasn't open yet, I knew there were staff in I could hear them laughing through the open window of the upstairs canteen-screaming was ignored, so I had to dial 999 sitting in the car park. I drove home shaking, & had to stop at the place I last saw him when I saw an ambulance to check he was OK...he wasn't & I drove off it was only 6.15 at that point, all happened so quickly.

Within an hour CID were on the phone asking for a statement as he wasn't expected to live -apparently it was some local thugs trying to persuade the man to change his mind about some dispute

Thankfully the poor chap did & bravely gave evidence that made sure they all got their just deserts.

I don't live in an inner city area, just a sleepy market town-honest!!

A man walking down a busy London street at lunchtime. With a parrot on each shoulder.

[WitchWay]

MissMarple that's just awful

[Wossname]

But but but that woman in the vid looks normal! Wtf!

[YellowDahlias]

This only sticks out as I was young but on my way to my new job, I was walking to work and passed by a large, rather grim looking man driving a low slung sports car. He was busy whacking off while driving his car.

[PipkinsPal]

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this madam, but that is a guillemot"

Last year at a car boot sale, I overhead a lady complaining to her husband how disgusting it was that she had to walk around to look at everything.

She had a face like a dog chewing a wasp. Really grumpy looking.

10 minutes later, I was stood next to another lady looking at something, when the whinger pretty much stood right up against her. As the lady turned, she bumped into the grump, said sorry and tried to move to the side.

Old grumpy then verbally laid into her saying she should have been looking where she was going. Everyone was looking. Poor woman was stunned until I jumped to her defense.

I mean, it's a car boot sale FFS.

She expected the cars to drive to her so she could look at stuff, and was outraged someone might have the cheek to bump into her even if she was stood up against them.

I once saw a woman breast-feeding a tiny baby in the driver's seat of a car while driving. I glanced over while overtaking her on the A1M

[notjustamummythankyou]

saskia - my dh is a bit of a military geek. Just mentioned your story to him, and he said the airliner may have been a fuel tanker. Apparently, they use dc10s and tristars, just like the old airliners. Doesn't explain it travelling so low though!

[shakinstevenslovechild]

I once witnessed a huge limo pulling up outside a travel agents, 2 women got out, dressed in what can only be described as swimsuits, high heels on, champagne in hand, giggling
in like mad. Then a massive bloke in dark glasses and a dark suit got out, both women took his arms and they walked into the travel agents.

It was utterly bizarre, like something out of a film.

[GarlicMarchHare]

Wow, Krevlorn, it must be :(

Going out with uni friends, they took a girl who had obviously taken something - I'm pretty sure e, plus a couple of joints and probably something else, along with too much alcohol. We tried to sober her, got her a pizza and some coffee and she seemed a bit better in herself. Ten minutes later, she's howling hysterically. So what does my friend do? Bought her a bottle of whisky..

Never mind, let's go on the bus, we decided. She runs to the back of the bus, spreads her legs and asks if I can see her 'vagina'.. She then starts crying again, this time about a miscarriage she'd had.

'Drink your whisky', says my bloody friend, 'You'll forget once you're good and pissed'

Get off the bus, head to nice pub. She whips hee dress off in the street, says she has a sore nipple and can I help her? Nipple was sore due to a botched piercing. It had been dressed and the dressing had slipped. I had her semi nude in the street, 8pm in mid July, with lots of people staring. I was standing thinking, wtf am I doing here?

I'm ashamed to say I was a very naive 18 year old, first year of uni and I'd never dealt with anything like this. I am tee total and I knew I'd be 'mummy' all night as everyone else was leaving her to me. I saw her into a naice pub with older punters, plus twenty odd friends that were just tipsy, and walked out to get the first bus home.

Her father was a GP and she'd been in a private school. I often wonder if her parents really knew what she was doing away from home.

I was sunbathing in Green Park one afternoon - just me, not many other people around, completely absorbed in my book. Suddenly, I hear a noise, and these guys all park up... I was a little surprised!

[LottieJenkins]

When DS2 was six (pre autism diagnosis) he was having a meltdown in the supermarket when an old lady came marching and announced VERY loudly "That young man needs a good smack on the backside!!!"
I replied equally loudly "And you lady need to learn to mind your own business!!!" I picked up DS2 and left the lady mouthing like a goldfish!!!

It was my cousins 18th birthday party a fair few years ago. Her family had ordered her a kiss o gram for a bit of fun. So there was cousin sitting on a chair in the middle of the room with the kiss o gram doing his, emm, job. Next thing we knew my cousins brother dives over the tables and smacks the poor bloke right in the face .

He then proceeded to chase him around the function room, staggering about clearly drunk, shouting "get away from my sister!" There was blood everywhere, I felt so bad for the poor man. The woman who worked behind the bar called the police and got bouncers to come in and restrain my cousins brother.

We were all so shocked and still to this day have no idea why he lunged for the kiss o gram

[GripNeededFastPlease]

On holiday, visiting a French zoo. We were admiring a tiny little capuchin monkey clinging to the wire at the front of his cage when the man next to me lit a cigarette and started to push it through the wire for the monkey to take, grinning all the while as if it was great sport.

I was able to grab his arm and wrench it away in time, and some fairly choice phrases from schoolgirl French found a use once again.

[Merefin]

Saw a man fall backwards off some scaffolding from first floor height, landing on his back. He got up, dusted himself down, and walked entirely normally down the road, as if this was a totally usual way to exit a building.

I had to sit down on the kerb as I felt dizzy and sick just having seen it.

[PsammeadPaintedTheLion]

I remembered a very surreal moment...

I was about 16 or 17 and my friends and I borrowed a narrow boat from the friend of one of their dad's.

4 16 year olds on a narrow boat. With no clue about how to actually drive it.

We tried to turn around after day one of our little weekend trip but the lever thingy which made it go forward and back snapped off. We just sort of drifted about for a while, trying to stick it back on with plasters so we could steer again.

We became aware that a very pretty looking river boat was coming our way. It was white and all decorated with bunting and was the sort of boat you might hire out for a few hours for tea and cake with a party of people.

We were sideways across the canal and the boat started hooting at us. Somehow we managed to go to one side of the canal so they could move past, and as they did, their passengers, about 20 long haired, bearded heavy metal fans, sporting AC/DC and Metallica t-shirts, all stood on deck, flipping us the bird and yelling obscenities at us.

It was so confusing. Wtf were a bunch of Hell's Angels types doing on a pretty little river boat? It was so funny, and weird.

[TrexWithReachSticks]

Armadale You should have grassed them up.

When at edinburgh zoo my kids were playing at the park next to the penguins, a wee boy pushed past them, shat on the path and went back up the ladder. Parents saw and laughed.

[NurseyWursey]

When a man dropped his trousers and danced around me in a circle. I was 14/15 at the time and it was dark, I was in a secluded area. I was shocked!


The other day 2 homeless men were fighting outside the Home Bargains because one was on the others 'patch'

[Lj8893]

I have another poo one.

My dp works in a pub, he opened up one day and cleaned the pub including the toilets. Nobody had been in the pub all morning until this one woman came in, she seemed very respectable, quite posh, well dressed etc. she had a drink and went to the toilet, she came back and said to my dp "someone's made a bit of a mess in the toilet", finished her drink and left.

Dp went to inspect and clean the mess, and there was shit everywhere, smeared into the toilet seat, all over the walls, the door, toilet roll holder.
It could only have been the woman that alerted him to the mess!

As a police officer , have had some surreal moments , but the oddest happened a few years ago when I was on night duty in West London . We're driving down the A40 , when we see a little black Mr Bean type mini join the road from the slip road in front of us . It joins a bit erratically , slowing down , then suddenly speeding up , changes lanes unneccesarily slowly , then jerks to a halt at the traffic lights , before kangarooing away when they turn green . 'Aha! ' we think , possible drink drive , so we stop the vehicle , and it pulls over into a layby . I hop out of the car and go over to the driver's side , to get them out onto the pavement . At which point , the mini door opens , and the longest pair of legs in fishnets and heels , I've ever seen unfold themselves from the car , followed by the rest of this most gorgeous dark haired beautifully dressed person in full evening cocktail dress , who is literally seven feet tall . And male . So I say ' look I'm sorry , but we've pulled you because of your driving . Have you had anything to drink this evening? ' and he replies 'no I'm just shit at driving in heels '

He then goes to the boot , changes the heels for trainers , and drives off with a grin. Bless .
