Strangest thing you've seen

Coming back from my run today I passed a man on the trail wearing green hospital scrubs and blue hospital socks with no shoes on. Considering I was only a few blocks from the hospital I had to assume he had escaped and was just out wandering around.

Also, one time a fella passed a friend and I on his bike on the trail. We didn't think much of it until we looked up and realized that he had his bicycle lock shoved into the back of his pants and it had settled very far into his butt crack. :sick:

What is the strangest thing you have seen when you were out and about?

    While running on a trail, I found a stolen go cart that had been hidden(but not well hidden) in the woods.

    While finishing up a run & headed back to my house, I was approaching a guy on his driveway. He was swinging his arms, stretching, it looked like he was getting ready for quite a run. As I passed him, he hopped on his motorcycle and drove off. Strange bird.

    I saw a man get hit by a car and die my first 10 minutes of touring Turkey. That was fun...

    I lived in Mumbai India for almost 2 years - one day while riding an auto rickshaw to work, I saw a stark naked man walking along the street. Yep, saw everything ... :noway:

    I was riding my bike through a state park and three naked men walked out of the bushes. I was 11 or 12 and somewhat traumatized.

    I really don't find many things strange. Not anymore. :tongue:
    However, I'm sure someone could put something here they've seen me do.

    About two months ago,I was running down a rural road and two Mormons were riding toward me on thier bikes. The first tried to stop me and asked me if I had a moment to talk about God. I said "dude, I'm running right now" and kept going. The second held out his hand and said "maybe you'd like our pamphlet then?"

    I'm a theater person--there's very little I consider strange anymore. Some of my favorites include:
    *Naked Cuddling (wasn't truly naked, but very close!)
    *Fully grown, capable adults wearing bibs so that they don't spill on their clothes.
    *A drag queen (one of my friends) sharing makeup tips with a SUPER conservative girl.
    *Theater newbies when they first see how unencumbered theater veterans are when doing quick changes...backstage...in front of a full cast...
    *The most hyper masculine man you can imagine putting on mascara and lipstick

    I love my crazy, weird, wonderful friends! :)

    One day I was driving through Martinsville, Indiana and I saw a rather large man on one of those moped things. He was wearing a stained tank top that had rolled up over his belly, really short shorts, and was holding a beer in one hand. There was also a large 'Confederate' flag flying from the back of his moped. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    It must be an Indiana thing. I'm about 20 minutes south of there and really, considering it was Martinsville, I'm not surprised. :laugh:

    When I was going to Cal State Fullerton I had an apartment in a fourplex in a rather interesting neighborhood not to far from school.

    Had a some interesting things happen there.

    I was in the living room and I could hear a guy yelling repeatedly "Shut the F'ing car off ... Shut the F'ing car off..." I look out the window and there's this chick driving down the street with this guy on the hood of her car and he's pounding on the windshield... "Shut the F'ing car off..."

    On Saturday morning after a night of heavy partying, I'm awoken from a deep sleep (passed out) by some very persistent knocking at the front door. I stumble to the front door and throw it open to find a towering (I should mention that I'm 6ft tall) transvestite dressed to the "9s."
    Her: "Is Joey here?"
    Me: "Boy, do you have the wrong place!"
    Slammed the door and went back to bed.

    One afternoon we were sitting in the front room wasted and watching TV. Knock at the front door. It the neighbor. He wants to install a ceiling fan in his unit and our unit has the only attic access for the fourplex. He wants to be able to go into the attic for the installation. No problem. We show him where the access is. He brings in his ladder and starts working and we go back to watching TV and partying. After several minutes, a foot comes crashing through our ceiling.

    And then there was the group of men singing "Volare" at the top of their lungs across the street...

    A guy with a large scar on his skull when I used to life guard. He would do a lap slowly then talk to me for about 20 minutes. During this time he would suddenly stop talking and go comatose for 30 seconds. Then pick back up mid sentence. I used to time him.

    A man at the YMCA that always wore a powder blue cowboy shirt, 10 gallon white hat, snack skin boots and 2 plastic 6 shooters... always.

    A UFO fly over my house when I was small.

    1. I was jogging on a trail and saw a group of 6 or so guys marching in full civil war regalia, that was pretty cool practice makes perfect.
    2. a rastafarian pissing in the middle of the street in amsterdam (maybe not that unusual)
    3.a girl pissing in the parking lot of a blockbuster in virginia (lots of peeing stories here)
    4. I have been at a house in Hampton Va that was very old and used in the civil war as a makeshift hospital, It was night time and my friend was babysitting, the F-ing doorbell rang and I swear it we were in the middle of nowhere and noone could have done it. I also kept feeling cold drafts and seeing the cats stare at stuff. Really freaked me out. She said the house was haunted.......I got the hell out of there.

    UFO.... Really? Fascinating. My grandparents claim to have seen one several years ago, too. That alone makes me a believer.

    Just last week, three guys dressed in military bdu's, walking up our street, one of whom was walking a blood hound. The dog was sniffing the ground. It was hard to tell if the men were armed; they certainly had big, black belts with something holstered. And they were coming from the dead end part of our street that leads to hunting grounds.

    :huh:
