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.

I was stuck in a traffic jam when a man stumbled out of a pub. He staggered drunkenly along the pavement for a few metres and then fell and didn't get up.

I got out of my car to help, as did a man from another car. Just as we got to him, the "drunk" man got up, shouted "fuck you" at us and sprinted down the road, no longer seeming drunk at all.

I think there's some truth in that! When we were getting married I read about the option for a cloud blaster (cost £10,000!!!) to make sure there were no rain clouds in your area.

The Child of Prague did us nicely...(only the Irish will get that one).

@RosaLuxemburgwasright me too, I thought they were brothers! My oh will never let me forget it!

DH and I had a Church marriage (wedding was months later) and were looking for a restaurant to celebrate. Back and forth with suggestions until my boss recommended one which we picked. Went there for a meal with DMIL and DBF as they were witnesses. Fast forward to wedding later in the year when all the families are present. I'd taken my bridesmaids for dinner the night before wedding at same restaurant as marriage day. DMIL chats to bridesmaids including DBF and says she's glad I took them to the restaurant she introduced DH and I to. She'd never been before we took her!!!!

I worked in a Steiner School. Bonkers and Just general wtf? Every. Single. Day. 🤦‍♀️

@Fruityfriday

@ Colouringaddict That made me cry, I really do hope your Nana’s mum came to take her home

I believe that is exactly what happened. She adored her mother above any other, even her own husband and children

Pregnant woman arguing with her partner as they left the supermarket. He was carrying the groceries, say three bags on each hand. Suddenly stops, lifts up bags to shoulder height and drops them to the ground and walks off without saying a word or looking back. Security guard helped her and took her back into the shop.

Different busy supermarket, family at checkout. Mum runs back to grab something and cashier is waiting as she'd scanned everything else. Her partner shouts at top of his voice "where's that blo*dy stupid woman gone now, this is why I shop alone" and everyone is stunned into silence. Woman gets back, he berates her for keeping him and everyone waiting and she doesn't say a word. Meanwhile their two toddlers are happily playing whilst waiting, they pay and leave.

Sad beyond words.

DS was diagnosed with ASD (we suspected for years but he masks around others. Family members said i was lying and doing it for attention!! I have avoided them ever since and thats been as the pandemic started. If one of them asks for proof or to read the report they will be told to p&ss off

Went for coffee with a new‐ish friend. We met and walked about a mile to a coffee shop, got coffees and sat on a bench outside the cafe chatting away.
Guy with a dog comes by and asks if we can hold it for him whilst he nips in as he doesn't like tying it up. I agree and take the dog's lead whilst guy goes into the cafe.
Friend: Do you know him?.....
Me: Who, that guy? No! He just asked us to look after his dog.
Friend: Is it your dog?
WTH!!!!! 🤯

Sat having my hair cut, chatting away to the hairdresser who had always seemed pleasant.

Suddenly she went into great detail about “the Asians” and why she hated them. She wouldn’t cut their hair but say she was leaving early and lock the shop up.

She realised I’d stopped speaking and said, “you don’t like them, do you?” and I had to blurt out something feeble as she was holding a pair of very sharp scissors.

Supacuts in Worcestershire (now closed) in case she still works for that company.

@Pals812 are you in South West Scotland? The first one may have been my exBIL and his (now ex) girlfriend. They did exactly that a few years ago!

If it was, in her defence he was an emotionally abusive POS and she acted in the only way she could without either breaking down or thumping him. He'd been berating her at the checkout for the 'extravagant' things she bought - bubble bath and dark chocolate - and called her an ableist name that I won't repeat on here. She reached breaking point.

Of course he told everyone the story of what a 'psycho' she was in the supermarket, leaving out the bit where he pushed a vulnerable and heavily pregnant woman who'd just recovered from HG to the edge with his nastiness.

@RosaLuxemburgwasright

This is not so much a wtf as a "you're an idiot" and related to the suspected identical twins.

I spent a long time thinking that identical twins, Freddie and Andrew Flintoff played for the England cricket team.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love this!

This didn't happen to me but I was standing next to the person to whom it did. Back in the early 80's I worked as a Saturday girl in a well-known high street chemists (UK) - a man came in asking for ribbed condoms, colleague pointed them out, he bought them and went away. 30 minutes or so later he's back claiming they weren't ribbed. They were marked as such but the customer is always right so, apologies - packet exchanged - man goes away again.

10 minutes later (he must have lived nearby and been a very fast worker!) he's back, very irate, these weren't ribbed either. They were, just clearly not enough for his tastes, so he was given his money back and the condoms taken off him. My colleague opened the packet to check how many were left as you had to fill in some paper work for returned items... and found a used condom shoved in with the others...

And by 'used' I don't just mean put on and then taken off again...

Stood outside Liverpool Street station and a guy walked past with an eagle sat on his arm - wasn’t a sight I expected to see.

Obviously found out after that they’re employed to disperse the pigeons in the station - what a cool job!

On my way home from work, I stopped at our the little Tesco Express in our village for a couple of bits.

I mainly pay by card everywhere, hardly ever draw money out, but needed some cash so used the cash machine outside to withdraw a tenner. When the note was issued, I picked it up and it had my name written on it in capital letters. Took a photo of it as it was such a random coincidence.

First time I realised my ex had an Oedipus complex was when he casually mentioned, post shag, that we were in his mother's bed,

Pigeons and Tenby seem to be a theme.

I was once in a car in Tenby, hot day, no AC so the windows were open. We stopped at a traffic light and about a dozen people threw chicken bones in to the car.

Sat in the Garden last summer having a drink with my carer and a pigeon just dropped out of the sky dead. Or it dropped out of the sky and was killed by the impact.

The cat was most impressed, she seemed to think if she stared at other birds they would drop down dead for her.

In the late 90s, I was living in America. One evening I left work late, got on the train and noticed a woman sitting near me, wearing pyjamas and curlers in her hair. Slippers on her feet. I got the impression that she wasn’t well and I sat and tried to think of how I could approach her to ask if she needed assistance. Just as I was standing I saw several people board the train. All wearing fancy dress. It was Halloween. 😊

Looked in the mirror and thought WTF

Please elaborate, dying to hear what they're actually like

I was in my car, just an ordinary day driving - the name of of an old school friend- not even friend came into my mind and it wouldn’t leave. I looked to my left and she was there... still freaks me out now, like wtf!

I was working at night as a delivery driver for an Indian takeway. I had to pop to the supermarket to buy some stuff for them. It was late and there were very few people there. I went to the till and for some reason decided to go to a till at the far end instead. Turned around and behind me was an old school friend. Not that strange 'till you hear that we went to school together in a country literally on the opposite side of the planet. We hadn't seen each other in 20 years, and there she was, right behind me at the shop. Not really a WTF, but more like a WOW!

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 have a 16 year old girl... doesn’t surprise me

@RosaLuxemburgwasright

OMG! Just had to Google this...... I honestly thought they were twins 😊
