Strangest thing you've seen on your road.

I was driving down my road just there on my way home from work.

I was stopped at a set of traffic light on the road when I looked to my left and seen some chap in a blue Lacoste tracksuit cycling along the path.

I looked closer and seen that in his hand was an electric beard trimmer thingy.

He was trimming his knacker-tache while cycling to what I can presume was the nearby pub.

Yesterday on my local road I actually saw a driver in a Dublin registered car keep in and show some respect to other road users!

When I lived in Melbourne, I used to see this dude a lot around Chapel street.

On rollerskates, his dogs pulling him down the road. He used to wear a mad hat.

Clearly it was second hand, and had a sensible person at the wheel.

Probably the time someones horse got out and wiped it's arse on my neighbours window. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

Motoring wise, I once saw a female drive competently.

The sign at the top of the road where I grew up says (to this day)

CAUTION
CHILDREN LAYING

Show Time

A section of the road with no potholes.

Saw a fella dressesd up as luigi from super mario, was a costume, not make up. With what seemed like his missus and kids in the car. Very funny.

Really, really wish I had seen this guy, but no such luck:

Years ago I passed road works where they were fitting cats' eyes to the road and saw a "Caution: Stud Laying Ahead" warning sign. I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it anyway...

A green top and dungarees? You sure that wasn't just a normal outfit?

Found a cattle skull on my road when I was a kid, 'twas kind of weird because we lived in the city. It made a great racket when the council guy ran over it with a ride-on lawnmower.

This happened a few years back when I was learning to drive. I was out on a lesson one summers day with the driving instructor and was driving on a country raod between Greystones and Kilmacanogue. It was only my second or third lesson so I was very nervous and concentrating really hard on all the instructions being given. Next thing as I drive around a bend, I see a cyclist on the opposite side of the road cycling along wearing a scream mask and what appeard to be a full length black cape! I tried hard to keep concentrating on the driving and not let this unanticipated sighting put me off. As I mentioned above, it was summer time so it definetly was nothing to do with Halloween and it was during the day, like about 3pm so I ruled out a fancy dress party! It was so random and the fact that the cyclist was cycling with a mask restricting his/her visibilty made it even more weird. But the strangest thing of all was the fact that my driving instructor didn't even comment on the scream character cyclist,almost as if it was anormal sighting on the roads!

up for anything

I had just reached the house my flat was in and there was a chap coming towards me holding his side awkwardly and I just knew he was going to say something to me. "Excuse me, Miss. Have you got a bandage I've just been stabbed". He kept going and by the time I registered what he'd said and caught sight of the blood all along the pavement he was gone. Polite chap though.

About six years ago when we lived on a housing estate we woke up one morning to see blood all up neighbours wall beside their front door and the blood trail led all the way through town about two miles. The couple had a new born and none of us knew them well so hesitated to knock. One of the neighbours did in the end and got short shrift so she rang the guards fearing something untoward had happened. They investigated and said he worked some place with sharp knives and had cut himself in work and cycled home. I still find that a bit odd.

Last Hallowe'en my scumbag neighbours had a fancy dress party and really late that night it all kicked off outside my house.!

Fists flying, tshirts being ripped off when all of a sudden out of nowhere running towards the fight was a 20 stone woman in a FRENCH MAIDS outfit!!!!

Since viewing that i haven't been right since but I swore I will never look out my window again unless i have a video cam in hand!

One Christmas Eve coming out of the town with my Mum and Nephew in the car saw some guy in full Santa outfit carrying a sack of toys walking along the street..... guess he was dropping pressies off and getting totally in the spirit, but as it was just gone dark it my 5 year old nephew was totally convinced it was HIM.

Would love to know who the guy was as he made Christmas that year for the kids in our family due the official sighting!

I once saw a guy driving the road while reading a novel. Not a road map, a novel.

Fizgig Bandicoot

While living in Phibsboro, saw a clown cycling down the road balancing a box of oranges on the handlebars.

Live in Wexford now and regularly see a really old guy with long white hair and long beard bringing a goat for a walk (lead and all) on the Enniscorthy/New Ross Road. He's often topless.

easyeason3

Anyone know the Diesel Queen?
Heavy set woman that kinda looks like a messed up goth & isn't fond of wearing underwear, or much at all really.
She could be regularly found wandering the main Dublin-Cork road hitch hiking from truckers mainly.

It could be pissing rain or minus 10 & she still would be wearing the skimpiest clothes possible.

Anyone know if she's still around or what happened to her?

Darkginger

Strangest thing I ever saw was a huge fúck off caterpillar - massive thing crawling across the lane, all hairy-like.

Well, you asked.

Tom Joad

Seen a car trundling down my road with a fully inflated bouncy castle on the roof - fairly big one too!! no ropes or anything just being held by the passengers and the driver with their arms out the windows!! No idea how far they had travelled with it!!

pappyodaniel

I was driving past the playground on my road with a friend of mine in the passenger seat. As we drove past the playground my mate shouts ~
"f*cking HELL! did you see that?"
"no..."
"there's 2 kids back there in the playground and they are standing over another kid lying flat on the ground.."
"Ya so what?"
"well the kid on the ground has his pants down by his ankles and one of the kids standing over him was sticking a hurley up his arse!!!"

Now I should have drove back and helped the kid as my mate was convinced of what he saw.... but I didn't, I was hungry and heading for Supermacs

peterk675

Was going to Knock one night with my brother, it was around half two in the morning or so and out of what seemed like no where this old woman dressed in complete white on a bike and she just stared at us while we drove back .
Was a freaky drive :P

Last week I was standing outside my house when a girl drives past in a peugeot 206 with a 2 seater couch on the roof, It wasn't tied down instead she had her hand out the window holding it.

Ah you just reminded me of one, I saw a micra earlier with a racecar bed attached to it's roof

cackhanded

When I lived in Hackney a regular sight was a local fellow on a horse who used to dress in full cowboy gear - stetson, boots & spurs, chaps, the full works.
Walking beside the horse on the footpath would be his missus dressed in full cowgirl gear.

years ago, was going somewhere with my mother on the bus, it was about 6.30am. Saw an old man walking on the main road totally naked, poor fella was either sleep walking or had some type of illness like dementia.
Often wondered did someone find him

The last part sounds very menacing?

I stayed in Frankfurt for a while last summer and there was this guy in my area who would go about his daily business completely naked! Turns out he was quite well known

thehamo

3 things that will always stick in my memory are a van blowing up outside my house, a lad being shot dead through the window of his house and full on swat kicking down the neighbours door!! And it wasn't even that bad an area!

Naked George! My friend introduced me to him when I was there in January. Nippy weather, and all he did was put on a scarf.

Seen two dogs riding each other on the side of the road and they got stuck, Eventually a large crowd gathered including the cops but couldn't do much. A local vet was called and separated the two muts and they ran off with their tails between their legs.

A basin of cold water always solves that, I had the same problem with my dogs a while back.
