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.

Mine only suffer each other when they have caught something and are guarding it. Currently a mouse that's sensibly hidden behind some draws.

A family friend,who I known all my life, died a few years ago. Seeing her identical twin at the funeral was a bit of a shock. Lots of us knew she had a sister, but she never talked about being a twin. They were identical down to styling, hair style and voice. You could see people arriving and doing a double take.

I saw a young teenager run into a moving car and just bounce off the bonnet. He got up, yelled wanker at the driver and ran off. It must have hurt as there was a big dent in the bonnet.

Mine happened a couple of weeks back, and funnily enough I nearly started a thread about it as I was WTF!

On the back of the idea everyone in the world has a doppleganger, I was scrolling through an article online, and there was a stock photograph of some secondary school kids from the 90's, and in the middle of the picture was me. Except it wasn't me. The next day I am on the same website and a pop up video plays regarding covid, and the young woman in the video is my daughter, again-except it wasn't. I send DD the link and she couldn't believe it either.

It was pretty coincidental and gave me a massive WTF that I saw both our doubles, a day apart AND on the same website.

Friend of mine was a vicar. About 10.00pm one Halloween he was walking through his churchyard (to get home) dressed in cassock and black cloak. Saw a couple “expressing their affections” on a bench, and politely said good evening. The looks on their faces were priceless!

Visiting my sister, I drove past a chap in shorts and an vest walking along. Perfectly normal...except he was hula hooping the whole way along the pavement! I mentioned it to my sister who said, “Oh, you mean xxxxx, he lives in the village and often walks around hula hooping”. He was about 3 miles away from the village when I saw him, so presumably had hula hooped that distance! I see him most times I visit her now.

On a bus in Dublin on the top deck. Stopped at traffic lights,looked down in to a car. And a woman wanking a man off.

Ohhh I just remembered one! On a school skiing trip in Bulgaria, we had stopped for a break and were resting on the snow. And a man skied past us wearing nothing but his skies/boots, thick socks, thick gloves, speedos and wooly bobble hat.

A couple of random ones.

Years ago on a weekend trip to Paris with family (I was an early teen at the time). Our coach was trying to get back to our hotel along a narrow-ish street, with cafes and bars either side. Someone had parked away from the kerb, making it impassable. Driver honked the horn a few times. A bunch of guys ran out of one of the cafe's, took a corner of the car each, and lifted it onto the pavement so we could pass, then put it back.

On holiday, visiting various sights and ended up at an abbey. Walking around and aware of some faint chant-type music going on and assumed it was for creating an ambient atmosphere. I sat down on a pew to take a look around as there was a lot of interest. From behind me the singing got louder and I was then passed by a transvestite in a beautiful woman's skirt suit, pussy bow blouse, carrying a toy sheep and singing some kind of monastic music.

My ice cream man jumping out of the window of his van and engaging in road rage outside my house. Dragged the bloke out of his car and they had a proper punch up. The police were called.

Staying in Spain at fiesta time as a 10 year old and waking up in the early hours as the sun was coming up needing the loo. Glanced to the window that looked out to the front lawn to see a couple fully naked having sex on the garden bench.

The other one happened when my friend and I clocked a bloke with a sweet looking sandy coloured terrier type dog outside our local pub. We commented on how cute the dog was and took a seat inside. About 10 minutes later the same bloke walked in to buy another pint with the same sized dog but it was black and white. He went back to sit in the same spot outside and it was definitely the same guy. It doesn’t sound like much, but my friend and I were ‘WTF?’ Maybe a ‘you had to be there’ wtf. 😂

Was at an airport in America 25 years ago, my (now) husband and I were standing in the escalator going up (we had checked in hours before) and this very, very tall and serious man behind us were trying to walk past us. My husband moved his bag and said ’Sorry, mate!’ and the man kindly replied ’Well thank you, Matthew.’ (my husband’s name) and quickly walked away. We had never seen the man before, no names on the suitcases etc. Wtf. 😂

The man hadn’t been standing behind us in the escalator either, we were nearly at the top and he was walking past everyone.

I have the exact opposite. For FOUR YEARS, I thought that two of my husband's home friends were one man I could never remember the name of

The shock when I realised there were actually two of them! I still think there might be a triplet out there.

I was on the Cork-Dublin train on an August afternoon many decades ago, heading to Dublin. In the carriage was a couple with a sleepy toddler, clearly heading back to Dublin after a holiday. Toddler a little sunburnt, sand visible on the bucket and spade in their bags, parents looking a little tired, and the mother was heavily pregnant.

She took her sandals off and put her feet up on the seat facing her, where her partner was sitting. He looked deeply into her eyes and started to massage her feet, which was nice as far as it went. I looked out the window when he started kissing her belly and lovingly called her 'My little Kerry cow'.

@mathanxiety that's actually quite sweet.

Mine is more pleasant than most, but it really was a WTF. At a friends 16th a gang of us had spent the day eating, doing make up, dancing, etc. Finally we sat down to watch a movie (Werewolves of London). I end up sitting next to her twin brother in the dark, we moved a bit closer, engrossed in the movie. At some point he moved his hands down inside the front of my jeans, I was surprised but I didn't say anything at watched the movie, he started moving his fingers a bit outside, a bit more, after a few mins I had my WTF moment (silently). I was inexperienced, never had done that myself, never thought something like that could happen without full sex, etc.

Funny thing is I don't think he knew what he did. And our parents came to collect us before the movie finished!!

This is brilliant!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

🤣

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’ 😆[/quote]
My grandmother who I never got the chance to meet, apparently was bought 2 coffins as wedding present by her parents. They were stored in the attic of the house, in her later years she would periodically go and lie down in the coffin to check it "still fitted"

Yes it was, but everyone in the carriage could hear him. I wasn't the only passenger looking out the window admiring the Tipperary countryside.

@NotanotherboxofFrogs

Two coffins? Amazing!

@Elderflower14 right? Like why go to the trouble of wearing nice thick gloves and hat but nothing else? 😂

@CustardySergeant

"once I left my pushchair on the pavement; strapped kids in car, walked on the road side of the car, got in and walked off."

You got in the car and walked off? Had you bought Fred Flintstones old car?

I was once driving north on the M6 and overtook Fred Flintstone’s car being towed on a trailer!

When I was about 6-7 my friends dog gave birth to puppies and I went to see them. Her dad sat on the floor with us and picked up one of the pups to hand to us for a cuddle and it wee'd on him. He threw it at a wall. I still remember sitting there cross legged in complete silence and shock at what I saw. The situation changed so quickly I couldn't even comprehend what had happened. I'm almost certain he just handed us another puppy to hold. Didn't visit her after that and they moved away not long after, I do wonder some days if he was ever abusive to my friend or her mother as he obviously had anger problems and an extremely short temper.

I was part of someone else’s wtf moment years ago. With my daughters and some friends from our sports club we were taking part in the London Moonwalk. We’d decorated our bras in the club colours and with 1000s of other women were walking across London through the night.
It was past 2am, we’d just crossed one of the bridges over the Thames and this, beautifully dressed, very elegant man came out of a night club, looked at all these women of every size, shape, age and colour and utters the immortal words - ‘what the fuck are you all doing?’
I couldn’t blame him, it was quite surreal.

I hope I can post this story. The poor cleaner must have been very WTF!
