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!'

I saw a car flip over right in front of me once, while I was walking on the pavement.

Like when the twin towers were hit, I bizarrely remember not believing it, like it was a joke or a stunt.

I am fascinated by the Christmas turkey.

Which one? The gobbling racer or the frozen one known as Joanne?

Turkeys everywhere ...

Both!!!

I knew this would be a great idea for a thread... Everyone's got a story!

But so many sad stories as well as funny ones.

Driving back home over the moors a couple of years ago on Bonfire night, pitch dark,weather was awful, it was foggy and we were going really slowly. Out of the fog on the side of the road appeared a dozen or so Druids. Long white robes, the guy in front had a long staff and frankly looked like Gandalf. They appeared to be making their way to a pub on the tops for a nice pint but I almost wet meself...

I was once part of someone else's OMG moment when I helped carry part of a 15 ft giant paper mâché man through a busy city centre. A foot to be precise. We got a few funny looks...

Choosenone, I worked in that bar in that Bowling Alley and she was a regular! Along with Birdman....

Twas always a night to remember!

Was this the turkey man?

Not funny at all but I saw something I was pretty shocked at yesterday.
A woman with a baby in a sling at the front kangaroo style smoking a fag!
She was turning her face slightly to the side to exhale to be fair.
Definitely judgey pants moment .

No it wasn't but imagine a turkey man doing a frozen turkey in tescos!

In a zoo in Paris: lion and lioness in an enclosure, which was raised about three feet off the ground, with a sort of moat in front.

The lion decided he was fed up with being watched, so he turned his back on the crowd... and shot a long jet of urine straight at everybody! People pulled their pushchairs back in horror.

Letsgo- this may out me but as a small child I was urinated on by a tiger at the zoo in a similar fashion.
The journey home in the car with me wasn't too pleasant I am told, and it took days to get rid of the smell!

Another poo one, (who'd have thought there were so many public poo-ers around?)

Spotted chap with his trews around his knees sort of half stood but bent at the waist doing an enormous shit just outside Ping Pong restaurant on the South Bank in London. Put me right off my steamed dumplings that did....

Oh, and a man walking his chameleon in Alton. Only spotted him when it tried to run away from him and he pegged it after it. Have you ever seen a chameleon run? Funniest thing I've ever seen! Just needed the Benny Hill theme....

Ach, I meant Iguana! Not chameleon....

I did see someone driving down the dual carriageway while straightening her hair with a cordless straightening iron.
I nearly crashed as I did a double take!

I used to vaguely know a lad who walked around with a dead fox on his head.

Oh god I remember one, I was quite young at the time.

Went to monkey world with my mum and we were looking at the capuchin (sp?) monkeys, one of them was transfixed on my mum, and came right up to the window and kept sticking his tongue out at her. She was laughing at him and talking to him when we suddenly realised he was rather aroused!

I've never let my mum forget that she turned a monkey on.

Think I posted this here at the time, can't remember for sure.

Gone out for a walk in winter (think it was last year). Walking along the coastal path, very wide concrete path, steps lead down all the way along the path to the beach, maybe 20 feet down. (google Cleveleys, Lancashire).

Ahead of us saw a couple, a pram and a little boy. Boy had fallen over so theyd stopped to see to him. The strong wind caught the pram and it started rolling toward steps. From the distance we were away I couldnt tell if the boy had been in the pram or if it was a baby pram IYSWIM. Started to shout to the parents but it was so windy they couldn't hear. Started to run and as I got closer I saw it was a tiny babys pram with car seat thing. The pram must have been just a few seconds from going down the steps, literally wheels inches away, before the dad saw/heard me running and screaming and he FLEW to grab pram. Few week old baby girl inside.

Not sure if it compares to some of these but we slowly approached and subsequently pulled up at a junction today and saw a woman from the houses opposite run back off the embankment with a big handful of daffodils she had pinched from it. The flowers were planted along the perimeter of a house on a bank . Clearly some Mother got a lovely bunch of Mothers Day flowers from the biggest thieving cheapskate of a daughter going...

On a family outing to the beach...spring day everyone walking along all lovely. A man approaches...from a distance he looks like a very big built chap, as he gets closer we can see he's actually very slightly built but has no top on and a massive python wrapped around him! Round his middle and up around his neck.

He walks past like this is entirely normal. Snake looks out to sea, all philosophical like. Bizarre.

Gosh, Glitter! I was holding my breath there. Glad he caught it!

Omg bighairy ...she did it regularly ?? I wondered why most people didn't seem as shocked as me !!! Do tell usabout bjrdman ?

It was like something out of a film. The mum was in floods and I wasn't far off.

certainly didn't feel funny at the time but the only time I have ever actually wet myself with fear.
went out for a drink with friend who was a bit of a slapper.
she was dating 2 men at the same time as she couldn't make her mind up.
she had been engagement ring shopping with both of them

so the friday night we went out and they accidentaly met each other was fucking horrid. instead of coming to the conclusion that she was a slapper they decided to fight each other for her.
Proper punching seven bells out of each other in the middle of the street with my friend screeching at them like something out of a soap opera.

I was SO frightened for each of the men who IMO had done nothing wrong aside from having a relationship with my friend.

I was driving down our local dual carriageway, (main access to quite a large sea port) as a passenger in DPs car. I was fiddling with the radio when dp says "you'll be wanting me to stop then?"...
I looked up in confusion to see a horse in full tack galloping full pelt towards us, into the oncoming traffic.
He did stop, I got out and stopped several large trucks then leapt into the car of a complete stranger who skidded to a halt and shouted "GET IN, WE'LL FOLLOW IT!"
The horse survived and was returned home safely. It took me some time to recover!

From working in London for the BTP, I vividly remember the man with a phone fetish (before mobiles) who had a 'thing' for sexing up the phones at Kings Cross! He was a sneaky fucker, it was the crowd that gave him away
