The strangest thing just happened

How Soon Is Now · 18-06-2015 01:30PM #1

Was on my way into work on the luas *as ususl*
Sitting there playing a game on my phone. A big African lady gets on sits beside me. So she starts talking to me telling me about Chinese dragons and the devil asking me am I Christian etc......

I couldn't really understand all of what she was saying cause of her accent but she carried on for a while then said thank you for your time sir and got off at the very next stop Hueston station.

So couple seconds later we where still at the stop I looked out the window and she was no where to be seen anywhere around whole area!

All kinds of mad **** happens on that luas but I taught this was one of the most random things yet for me!

I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale, Walking in Memphis but do I really feel the way I feel?"

Always fun to out-crazy the crazies...

Did she have some type of bipedal device attached to her torso for generating terrestrial locomotion perchance?

I was on the bus some time ago, going out to a town near the city and this elderly chap gets on the bus and starts chuntering away to the group, particularly to myself and my partner who happened to be sitting across from him. Very chatty. Very VERY chatty. And then he started talking about how he was still very active for a man in his sixties and started doing gymnastics on the bus.

That sounds crazy. It IS crazy.

When I say gymnastics, it was rather geriatric gymnastics. He stood up in the aisle and was bending over to get his head to his knees. It was actually rather impressive. I couldn't do that and never could! The entire bus was watching, mostly in fear of the bus jolting as it stopped and started between bus-stops and sending him flying. He must have done it three times or so, and wasn't entirely careful where he put his arse, so we got a rather unfortunate view every so often. His balance was remarkably good though, and no disasters ensued.

We were still all rather relieved when he got off the bus though.

Sister Act must be on in the Bord Gais again.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The strangest thing just happend...

Do you remember Matt?
I've known him forever ok
I couldn't believe we ended up in the same office
And then one day at work I just felt there was something , More
And then out of the blue he asked me go with him to this charity ball thing

And just for the laugh I texted back '' Is this a date ?''
He said
''I dunno, is it ?''

is that Luas stop anywhere near a psychiatric hospital OP?

This used to happen to me a lot in Toronto, there was a tram stop beside a day clinic where psychiatric patients were administered medication.

There was always one or two people would get on at that stop, and talk non stop about the most random of subjects.. some of the rants were actually interesting.

I believe you may be haunted by a demonic presence, did you experience any of the following;

Smell of burning toast (demonic flames)
Drooping of side of your face or numbness in the side of your body (possession)

And of course the good old regular - head spinning around and spewing green pea soup.

It's a subtle one that, but it's a good indicator.

Did you actually step onto the LUAS or some other parallel dimension perhaps?

Why, sitting on the bus I don't see any reason not to use your phone

It has actually made my day now that I've annoyed a complete stranger with just a few heartfelt lines ðŸ˜‚

Crazy people love public transport. There's a gene in my family that makes us irresistible to them too. My cousin was getting the bus from Cork to Limerick one time, saw the crazy man getting on and put his head down to try avoid him. Crazy man stared wildly around and then sat beside my cousin even though there were empty seats.

Cousin kept on keeping his head down, pretending to read or something, crazy man just staring at him. Then the engine started and yer man just goes "HELLO SIR I SEE YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL BY BUS" and there went the next two hours of my cousin's life.

Now there's a word you don't hear too often!

Do you know what's worse? When strange people never sit beside you on public transport.

Not like he missed the stops to pop into Petra and Giza on the way
