Everyday Oddities, things that make you look twice

Today, when I got on the bus to school I saw a man wearing a sombrero, a poncho, and a Barack Obama mask. I would have talked to him but he was pretty big and scary looking

The other day, I saw an old man with a stark white beard dressed in an orange jumpsuit playing the piccolo. It appears that he frequents that street and is known to locals as 'Piccolo Pete'


Share your stories~

Today I saw a black man drink out of the white water fountain. Why he wasn't lynched immediately by all in the vicinity is beyond me

Edit: this is more weird, lol.

Few weeks ago I saw a person taking a shit on the sidewalk. She didn't look homeless.

Did she look hammered?

A couple of years ago when my hair was really short, I went to the grocery store in a winter coat and a prostitute that was standing outside thought I was a little boy and vigorously tried to proposition me.

prostitute: "What do you mean you don't know what condoms I'm talking about!? Wait- ...you a lady"

The weirdest part was that she was wearing the the grocery store's uniform... and looked about my mom's age.

Nope.

Did you hit it?

This one time I noticed that I'm Unemployed had a custom title from "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne. Oh wait.



Although He'll probably claim its from the cover of the song that he shared that one time~

About twelve years ago I was in Phoenix, AZ. Nine hundred miles from home and with only a few bucks to my name, I'd bought a hot dog from a cart vendor and was eating it while I watched construction workers load a pallet with sacks of concrete across the street from the park I was at. They secured it to a crane, and wrapped a sheet of plastic around the sides to prevent slippage. the crane hoisted the pallet up. Near the top, the plastic ripped, and one of the bags fell about sixteen stories. it hit a passerby (I'm fairly certain it was a guy) and sheared his leg off at the hip. it also shattered the sidewalk in a crater.

Why do you think I'd try to brush off having an Avril Lavigne lyric in my title? I'm fucking proud of this shit.

This one time, I saw a newbie with only 8 posts to her name make a thread that didn't suck

Guy sparking a *huge* like half a meter tall, bong on the back seat of a crowded bus, blowing smoke out the window.

Drunk marine smash a completely full bottle of Jack Daniel's on his face. Blood and booze everywhere but he didn't even seem to notice and just carried on with his business.

Waste of perfectly good Jack.

I saw a SUPER stereotypical yaoi kiddie (hyper gay, obsese, gothed out beyond all hope, and prone to KAWAIIII outbursts) harrass a 6 year old kid who was "sitting in my spot, you cunt"...

said spot being where this asshole plants himself EVERY WEEKEND for the ENTIRE duration of mall hours and reads EVERY yaoi title we have (which includes ripping them out of the shrinkwrap we have them in if they're too racy).

and i couldn't throw him out because the manager held me back since district was there and he didn't want an incident.




personally, i wanted to kick them BOTH out... i am so sick of aisle squatters, no matter the age... but that little jerkoff made me wanna smash his face in.

Marry me.

I once witnessed a cane fight between two old Asian ladies. They were upset at each other because one pushed the other to get on the street car.

The best part of it all was that the old ladies had their own posse. Their respective posse stood behind them, pointing at the other group, and yelling threats in Chinese. It was the greatest way to start the day.

heh heh that reminds me of going to the Asian market the other day....

I saw a fight break out between what seemed to be an elderly mother and middle-aged daughter over who would pay for the groceries. It was kinda awkward. I was the only other customer in the store and they were in front of me in line to check out. Both screamed loudly in Cantonese while each tried to shove the other's fist full of cash back into their respective purses. The granny eventually won.

I once saw a grown man skipping around in a grocery store as if he were Little Red Riding Hood... although in that same day I saw a 4-year old girl glare at my friend's ass as if it had killed her family and wanted revenge.

Everytime I go out of my house, I meet 3D people. 3D people! That weirds me out every single time. I mean, gah, people, 3 laincursed D people!

technically, they're 4d since they're moving in time.

Protip: Don't look in the mirror OLF!

I think the strangest thing I ever saw was a 40ish overweight man wearing tween clothes (hot pink shorts ) shopping in the Girl's section of the store I used to work in. I saw him like once a month.

You know you lose credibility with this stuff when you go this over the top with it. It really looks like you're just putting on a routine.
