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.

    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.

    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.

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...

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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! :D

    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.

    I once seen a politician answer the very question they'd been asked, just out straight. Couldn't believe my eyes.
    Let me guess the answer "a pint of Bass please Joe." ;)

    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.
