Something unexpected that made you go "wtf??"

[FuckingFabulous]

I want to hear examples from your experiences. Like when someone drops the facade for a second and you see something a bit scary about them, or when someone reasonable comes out with something utterly ludicrous and you've no idea how to react. I want to hear them! Because earlier today, I found out that my neighbours daughter doesn't have identical twins called Ronnie and Jensen, which was my assumption. She has one boy called Jensen, but my neighbour hates the name and will only call him Ronnie. The boy is six. His middle name isn't even Ronnie. His grandma just prefers that name and calls him that.

Took my DS4 on holiday to a holiday cottage in Cornwall. He was playing in his bedroom upstairs shortly after we arrived when he came downstairs and said he was chatting to two people in his bedroom called Simon and Maria. They told him they used to live in the cottage a long time ago but are dead now. Apparently they said the cottage was messy then and they didn't want us here. DS said very matter of factly they were father and daughter, nice people and his friends. Scared me and my husband shitless!

A decesed neighbour of mines son walks humans about on leads I saw his name in the paper he had been arrested shock

Do you live in Central Scotland ?

I certainly do and it's the same weirdo!

Love this thread! Marking my place for reading later

I was bought a voucher for a facial, massage and mani/pedi between lockdowns. Ummmed and aaaaahed about safety but decided to go for it thinking they’d surely be taking precautions. Settled down face down for my massage so didn’t notice anything unusual. Turned over for my facial and thought it was a bit odd that the beautician wasn’t wearing a mask but felt a bit awkward and vulnerable as I was naked under a towel so didn’t say anything. She then went on the rant, with her face centimetres from mine about the ‘plandemic’ that it’s all a ploy for Satan to microchip us all and track us. Ran the full gamut of conspiracy theories; Chemtrails, the Illuminati, QAnon, flat earth etc etc. The most bonkers thing she said was that the Kardashians are actually holograms. She told me that that she knew she could trust me not to report her as god had sent me to her so that I could learn the truth. As soon as I was dressed I told her I’d changed my mind about the manicure and pedicure after all and got the hell out of there. Went home and reported her to the council straight away and spent the next fortnight fully expecting to get Covid! WTAF!

@FanFckingTastic, that's funny about your cat, a friends dog used to do the same to their raspberries, friend described it as a very delicate plucking with its doggy lips, and only the ripe ones

🤣

that remind me of the story of a very old lady who would sleep in a coffin instead of a bed just to be practical in case she died in the night

When my Grannie was in hospital (with marbles in tact) well into her 90s she’d say to the nurses ‘oh you’ve been wonderful, you must come to the funeral’ 😆

Years ago, I was teaching 6-8 year olds in a school in a village on top of a very steep hill in Buckinghamshire. It began snowing heavily in the morning and by mid afternoon the roads in and out of the village were impassable. The secretary had rung every parent and asked them to collect their children (most were local) and every child had gone home but the parent of one of my children refused to come out. I walked the little girl a mile down the steep hill in driving snow and a couple of miles along a main road to her house. We were both freezing cold and I was trying to keep her as happy as possible. When we got to her house, the mother opened the door, pulled her daughter in and banged the door shut in my face. There was no "Thank you ". No offer of a cup of tea to warm me up. Then I had a three mile walk back to my house!

When I worked in a bar in London about 15 years ago this couple would come in (separately) every week and play a game where they pretended not to know each other, then they would have sex in the ladies toilet. I found it a bit gross tbh.

You mean like me reading a whatsapp chat yesterday where my DD and her friends were discussing killing me and feeding me to the pigs? That kind of WTF moment? Yeah.

I had a bit of a crush on a colleague. We had lots of long chats over the five years we worked together and as we got to know each other I was most drawn to his fantastic sense of humour. I also loved how laid back he was; nothing ever got him riled or upset. He laughed everything off and I used to wish I were more like him. Things did not go further as I was already dating another colleague and in any case he didn't seem interested in me other than as a friend.

About a year after I resigned I was absolutely gobsmacked to see his face in the paper. He'd started a relationship with another woman at work and had killed her in a jealous rage. He was known as the "Weakest Link" murderer.

@viques

A woman was telling me that when her children were born it was customary to be given a dose of castor oil and an enema. I asked her why and she said in all seriousness “ Well the castor oil is to grease the baby’s head to help it out” she was also of the opinion that vitamin supplements were of little value during pregnancy since she had never taken them and had had easy births, whereas her sister, who had taken vitamins through her pregnancy , had a much harder labour.

As a midwife I heard this several times about the castor oil (usually taken mixed in orange juice 🤢). Some of my pregnant mums weren’t the brightest.... including one who I met the first time in the Family Planning clinic after her 5th child. When I carefully asked had she not liked taking the Pill she replied that her husband refused to take them. Ooops!

At my hen do, my maid of honour told me she was gutted I met my husband before she did.

We no longer speak.

@CallMeCleo just googled the ‘weakest link’ murderer and he killed his wife.

If it’s the same guy he def looks like a murderer to be fair.

This has literally just happened during the bedtime routine. With no prior instances or anything I can think of that would have inspired it, my DD6 has walked straight past her bed and spit on the carpet in the corner of her room! Twice! The first time I was so WTF I couldn’t say a word.. I went absolutely batshit the second time 😄

@Oneeata

Used to work in A&E (receptionist) and a quite well dressed - well to do looking lady came to be booked in and quite openly told me without lowering her voice so quite obviously people queuing would hear too that she had a hi-ball glass stuck inside her vag. She went on to explain she was using it as contraceptive and didn't like the feel of her partner's penis touching her insides. 🤯 God only knows how big his dick must have been to get any friction. 🤣🤣🤨

😂🤣😂 I have just spluttered my red wine absolutely everywhere!

Believe me, we heard just about everything imaginable in A&E, including the most unlikely explanations!

One of our dogs loved picking and eating blackberries, bless her.

@ACPC

I read a story about a man and his mother who migrated here from somewhere in Africa and lived on the same park bench for years. It was wtf because they had lots of offers of help but refused.

They're still there - on the bench outside Tooting Library!

Last summer I saw a man sitting on a park bench feeding a heron prawns with chopsticks.

@CrazyCatsAndKittens

I know a woman whose cat only eats Dreamies. She said she tried to make him eat other cat food but he bullies her, so every month, she buys a massive box of Dreamies on Amazon and the cat had a pack morning, noon and night. I said it must cost a fortune but she played it down and said it wasn’t that much. I just thought it was utterly bonkers!

Dreamies are like crack for cats. My mum’s cat used to bite her if she didn’t give her her regular “fix” of them. We had to wean her off them.

Similar thing with my torty cat, she would only eat Dreamies until we got wise to her addiction. Being a gentle soul she didn’t bite, just sat by her bowl looking forlorn.

I resigned from a job recently and sighted my wages being incorrect continuously as one of the reasons and I was fed up of chasing money I was owed. Response from HR accepting my resignation was to tell me to ensure my manger sent the correct information so my last pay is correct. My response back was it has never been in my job description to do this and it’s not my responsibility to chase my manager to ensure they are doing their job properly. Who on earth has to stand over their manager to make sure they are putting your hours in correctly?

A year or so ago I was talking to a patient at work (in the North East of England) and we discovered we had lived on the same street in London at the same time in the mid 90s!!

PuddyMuddles4 Omigod, you poor thing, I feel for you

Years ago, worked in Merton. The head of the cleaning team was a troubled soul and if I was there if an evening would tell me about her family.

She had fallen out with her daughter, said she’d told her daughter that she wished she’d died when she caught meningitis aged two. I was gobsmacked, with a mother like that, who needs enemies? I don’t recall if their relationship was bad through the daughter’s childhood or if she just came out with this because they’d fallen out.

FindYourPorpoise "Last summer I saw a man sitting on a park bench feeding a heron prawns with chopsticks."

I guess he was just being careful, Find, that's a long beak!!

My great nan was in a care home. She was 98 and I had gone in to see her, as I was leaving I said to I'll see you tomorrow nana” “Don’t bother love, my mother is coming tonight, I won’t be here tomorrow, she came yesterday but I had to tell her to go away because you were coming in to see me today”. I just thought she had dreamed it.... she died that night.
