Post some of the weirdest shit you see on a daily basis here.

I was prompted to start this thread due to a double feature of weirdness I saw at a gas station just now.

I was filling up, and watching a fellow parked in front of the store that was seated indian-style by his tire. the tires appeared to be brand new.
He had nail clippers, and was snipping off those little rubber threads that stick out of the side of the tires one by one, and carefully placing them on a napkin.
He finished the tire he was working on, stood up, dumped the little rubber bits in to his hand, placed them in his pocket, and sat down at the back tire and began snipping that one.

I watched him as I walked in, opened the door, and was going to have a little laugh about it with the cashier if I saw the cashier watching the process.
However, I looked behind the counter, nobody there. Over by the soda fountain was the cashier, shoe and sock on the floor, his foot up in the sink on the counter and he had it all sudsy with soap and was rinsing.

I was not going to exchange money with a guy that had wet, foot infected hands... so I turned around and walked right back out.

I think I was at a twilight zone gas station.

I am in downtown LA often for work. If you don't know, downtown LA is for the most part a shit hole, with homeless and mentally ill people all over the place. A few years ago, I saw a guy with long black hair, wearing all black leather. He had his arm around a woman dressed similarly. As he was walking down the street, I noticed that everyone was staring at him, and he was snapping at everyone. As I drove by, I noticed that the woman he had his arm around had no legs. Then, I discover that the woman was not a woman at all, but was in fact a mannequin. He dressed the mannequin up, but the disturbing part was that he applied a bunch of make up to it, and it was way overdone and made it look soooo creepy. I can't imagine what he does to that mannequin behind closed doors.

Also saw a woman the other day walking down the sidewalk and holding a can of soda. She then proceeded to put the can in her cleavage, so that her cleavage was a drink holder, and just kept on walking.

The creepy part was the make up? :lmao:

Nice!

I am absolutely certain that the big city people have some great tales of insanity.

I was in downtown paris once, and there was some dude wearing jeans that had more holes than fabric. the bare spots were patched with plastic grocery bags.
He was drunk,stoned, or a combination of both.
He was standing by a raiing doing a weird mix of karate-dancing, and he was falling over repeatedly.
I called him "plasti-pants" and gave him my change, he thanked me with a series of energetic and poorly executed dance moves, ending in an attempt at a backspin on concrete.


Also, in vegas, one of my favorite things to do is buy beer for beggars and give them the beer and 5 dollars to tell their tale.
I had a cop tell me once "you shouldnt do that.... you are contributing to the delinquency of vagrants!".
he was cool about it though- said it wasnt against the law, just a bad idea, because if I did it enough I "would become the pied piper of the homeless, and nobody wants that."

Who would be the foolish one when you have your own personal army of homeless people?

A couple of years ago my wife and I were at Powell's Books in downtown Portland. Someone was carrying around a 6'-0" Gumby...for no reason.

At least it's better than the countryside, where people in Enumclaw, WA will pay top dollar to be ramrodded by a horse.

When I was in the 'Nam there was this really strange dude - I mean, off the rocker - who kept on talking about his marijuana being laced with cocaine, heroin, and other shit. Dude didn't understand the 70s drug culture.

This is only mildly crazy but one time my cousin and I were headed outside of Chicago to some random golf course in the burbs for our tee time. I refuse to use the I-pass for my own reasons so when we arrived at a toll I pull over to the cash lanes as one normally would. Normally tolls have signage somewhere showing how much the toll is but for some reason or another this one did not so when I pulled up to the only operating toll booth I asked the old man how much the toll was and his response was "Don't be scared." I literally brushed it off as some random shit so I asked again "so how much is the toll?" and he responded with "just don't be scared." At this point my cousin and I literally looked at each other in disbelief then I pulled out a $20 and just let him give me the change. To this day we still use that line at random when trying to say shit that has no meaning to the topic being discussed. If nothing it gave us a lifelong inside joke.
