Random things you've witnessed

This morning I was looking through timehop on my facebook and was reminded of a completely bizzare incident on my way to work one morning.

This cat ran straight across the road in front of my car, and running after it was this big absolutely massive rat.

Got me wondering though. What's the oddest thing you've ever seen?

I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain.

Turtyturd

Random sampling.

Santa Cruz

I saw a dog with three eyes. Two in front and one in the back. At leadt I think it was an aye

I see paper unicorns in my dreams and nothing else

I once seen a politician answer the very question they'd been asked, just out straight. Couldn't believe my eyes.

I saw a magpie with a smaller bird held under it's claws and it was pecking it to death.

I found half a rat in my garden once. The back half...

A rat's arse!!

Also saw a guy stopped on the motorway having a piss under an overpass without a care in the world this morning...

In Bangladesh I saw a youngfella of about 15 galloping down the side of a dual carriageway in Dhaka on the back of a massive elephant. He managed to stop it at one stage, took a few minutes to get off and then took a massive sh*te on the side of the road in front of thousands of passing cars.

I thought he was a bit of a legend myself.

Operation Free Flow

Saw a young fellow throw himself into a river once. Pretty shocking. Near a psych hospital, jumped out of the back of a car stopped at a bridge and just hopped over the wall of a bridge, presume it was his parents collecting him. In fairness, the reaction was amazing, people diving in, Garda cars pulling up within minutes, net strung across a bridge lower down. Was back in the day so never knew if he made it.

We live in easte and when I was younger 13 r 14, a car speeded into the neighbours garden,they ran up for the back wall into our back garden and over the wall in our garden into a field .. I always remember the passenger fella say to me "shh ya didn't see noting" the car was robbed... few weeks later the neighbours moved they wore terrified :L...

razorblunt

Walking to work one day last summer through a park. Two swans in a lake turned to face me, staring at me as if I was eavesdropping on their conversation. They then launched themselves across the lake heading in my direction.

When they got to about 10 feet, I bolted, leaving a comical dust outline behind me, I was moving so quick!

Once saw a man dressed as a clown directing traffic around a crash!

Micky Dolenz

I've seen a queer looking beast. it's as big as four cats, and it's got a retractable leg so as it can leap up at you better, it lights up at night, and it's got four ears. Two of them are for listening and the other two are kind of back-up ears, and it's claws are as big as cups and for some reason it's got a tremendous fear of stamps. it's got magnets on it's tail so's if you're made out of metal it can attach itself to you, and instead of a mouth it's got four arses.

smurgen

Id hazard a guess and say the two gentlemen you observed were conducting a drugs transaction or somesuch,a fairly common occurrence in shopping centre car parks across the city,omni being no exception.

The elephant or the young fella?

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

Saw a bloke doing a striptease for a hen party in the pub before. The stripper had his back turned towards another fella carrying an armload of pints. I heard the pint carrier say "excuse me... Here.... Lemme past before you start" but the stripper ignored him, winking at the hen party.

Next thing the bloke dropped the pints on the floor and swung a punch at the stripper. One almost naked man and one clothed one, drenched in beer, trading thumps whilst surrounded by screaming hens all shouting at them to stop.

The young lad. Not a bother on him. Then back up on the elephant and off he went.

They'd have had to treat it as a new roundabout if it had been the elephant!

Not the most random thing I've ever seen but this reminded me of a friend's 21st years ago. The girlos hired out a male stripper to come to the party for the laugh. When he got down to business he was only wearing a pair of tiny white briefs with a massive sh!t-stain on the arse.

Rubberlegs

I don't know how random this is, but I'd never seen anything like it before. I was walking home from the shop, and a black car pulled up across the road. Two men in suits got out and proceeded to take out a trolley and slide a body in a body bag onto it. You could properly see the shape of the person inside the bag. I've seen this before on a hospital ward when someone is being wheeled to the morgue , but not on the street. It left me wondering where was the coffin? There's probably a logical explanation for it but it was so weird. The car wasn't even a hearse.

shroom007

saw a bloke dressed as a bear on the tube going to work on day,he had a laptop and was reading a newspaper

Found a housemate in college hanging from the attic of our house when I was 19. Landlord evicted us the day after, gave some bullshít reason, so it was an illegal eviction.. contacted PRTB, mediation was held to get money back and clain expenses of the eviction. Mediator asked me explain how we broke our contracte and were evicted.. I told him what happened (he didn't know).. he went to town on your man calling him a disgrace etc etc. Lets just say I won.

There is some utter scum in the world.

Accidentally drove into St.Michael's House in Inchicore one Sunday about 7AM and saw a 10 year old boy whipping a dead swan's corpse with a large window-wiper from a van or lorry.

The Cool

One day when I was a teenager sitting in the car with my mum driving from Bridgend into Derry. Looked into the field to my left and there was an elephant in it. On a long tether, munching away. Of course there was a circus setting up another mile down the road, but it was a funny "wait - is that a...?!" kind of moment.


Also saw a hipster walking down Capel street eating beans and toast off a blue china plate.

foxy farmer

I had a cow give birth to a dead calf here a while back. Normal in every way except It had 2 heads , one facing forward as normal and a second looking backwards. Joined just behind the ears. Weird and shocking at the same time.

How very ironic in a post-modern sort of way. Or should that be modern in a post-ironic sort of way?? :pac:

Well I seen a horse fly
I seen a dragon fly
I seen a house fly

I seen all that too
I seen a peanut stand
And heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked its eye

But I've been, done, seen about everything
When I see a elephant fly

I saw a rather flamobyant dominican parade going past a laundrette I was in , which was in a relatively quite suburb on a Sunday afternoon. Certainly a surprise to me at the time.

Oh and a man walking a cat on a leash. As you do.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Two Korean lads dressed as cowboys riding horses along a busy street in Daegu shouting abuse at passers-by.

TheOtherBloke

A bearded man taking a ****e on a public footpath in the town center.. Got a tissue out of his pocket and placed it gently over the log. Got up and walked off without a care in the world :pac:.

Btw some of the stories here :pac::pac:

Was in Prague on a school tour when I was 16 back in the 90s.

Walking along some side street semi-lost with some friends and we passed by the end of a perpendicular lane.

There were three or four swanky new Mercedes' parked outside this nondescript doorway. So I paused for a second to check them out. Only to have about half a dozen James Bond baddie style hired goons appear from the doorway (black leather jackets, meatheads, looked like they'd seen/done bad things).

One of them told us in his best broken English in no uncertain terms to put our heads down and keep walking. Needless to say we promptly shat ourselves and got out of there.

By far the dodgiest thing I've ever seen, wouldn't have been surprised if one of the car boots had a body in it.

blastman

I was walking along the seafront in Brighton one stormy afternoon a few years ago when I met an oompa-loompa (green hair, orange skin, white dungarees...the whole bit!) walking the other direction trying to light a cigarette.

Lollipops23

Driving home from work with my best mate in the middle of rush hour traffic past Holles St hospital- we're forced to pull in when a Garda escort screeches to a halt outside the hospital and literally right next to us. Gardai and nurses flock to the car being escorted and try to help a very pregnant lady out. Poor thing was obviously in agony, and she'd pulled up her top (probably too hot) so with every contraction we could see everything.

They got her into the hospital eventually, and we drove off in stunned silence.

ArnoldJRimmer

About 20 years ago, saw a guy on a bike clip the side of a Mercedes stopped at traffic lights and then took a dive Ronaldo would be proud of. A very obvious attempt to claim some compo. However, the driver, a large man in his late 60's, got out and proceeded to beat the sh!t of the cyclist, throw his bike over to the side of the street, got into his car and drove off.
