Strange Things You've Seen

[Flashjeff]

While riding on a bus yesterday, I saw something that gave me some serious pause. I was seated near a guy standing next to the rear door who held in what I thought was a small rubber snake that was wrapped around his hand and looked awfully damn realistic, right down to the pattern on its skin. A lady sitting next to me saw it too and gave me a puzzled expression. Then, a tongue flicked out of the snake's mouth! Yes, the bloody thing was ALIVE!!! The eyes of the lady next to me widened like saucers as she was as surprised as I was. A couple of minutes later, the guy got off the bus, tye lady shook her head, chuckled and said to me, "The things you see when you don't have a camera phone." All I could do was nod and say, "You ain't kidding." So, what sort of strange things have you seen in your travels?

WOW, so many things I've seen !

The first weird thing that comes to mind hapen 15 years ago and I still see it in my head, LOL. We were in down town New York. There was a bag lady about 90 years old with no teeth in front of us on the sidewalk talking away to herself and pushing the standard grocery cart full of junk. All of a sudden , she yanked up her dress and squated down to pee on the sidewalk. What really stuck in my head was she was wearing blaze orange thong underwear that would make you go blind, they were so bright. The look on our faces must have been great, she laughed and laughed so long and loud as we jumped over her puddle and kept walking. Only in New York.

Following FlashJeff's theme, I once came across a guy with a marmoset on his arm, nonchalantly browsing through a store. It's amazing what animals people keep as pets these days...

Let's see, well in San Francisco I once saw a 'lady of the night' 'treating' a gentleman dang near on the sidewalk (they were right at the mouth of the alley way).

Also, there was this very lady-like homeless man yelling at people by the street car turn-around. After he really got going the cops put him in handcuffs. He yelled at the top of his lungs "You can't do this to me! I'm the holy ghost! I'm f-ing Jesus!" Don't think I'll ever see anything to top that!

Gross one !

Have you ever seen the science experiment where you drop a lit match into a bottle and put the hard boiled egg on top? The egg gets sucked down into the bottle all whole, even though it went through a small hole. Well......as a cop I went to a suicide call where the man shot himself in the head. He used a 44 Magnum Ruger handgun(very powerful!). Where the bullet went in(on 1 side of his head) was a small size hole , and big surprise, where the bullet came out(the other side of his head) was a half inch hole(very small, should have been much bigger). Anyway, on the kitchen table next to him set a perfectly whole brain( a bit bloody) in a perfectly whole shape, just like it was surgically removed? I guess the high velocity of the bullet created tremendous suction, which removed the brain from his skull (like the hard boiled egg experiment) and landed it neatly on the table? Go figure? I must have about 20 more stories like these of the STRANGE things you see working as a police officer.

hahah, me too, i saw also crazy things:

okey im a busy man (student at day,teppanyaki chef+barman in the evening and voice percussionist of a japanese group) i saw some crazy things.

one time i think it was around 05.00-06.00am i was behind the bar because the night before it was very croud and i was very busy so i decided to stay a bit longer, and i was busy with tapping some beer and some sake for friends, and then a couple came in, went to a table in front of the bar started to take their clothes off and starting to **** in public and believe it or not the people who sat stared at the couple and they look deeply in their wallets, and bought more drinks, now me as bartender i was wondering what i should do? Chase them away or let them stay because i never got that immense tip in my whole life! so what i decide? I went to them and i asked polite: You enjoy to **** here? could i bring you a drink? (as in a sarcastic way) and the couple anwsered (in a polite way,while they were ...)yes please, a bottle of your best wine. i never saw such a weird moment in my whole life!

What a lovely thread!

One thing I can recall is that in the small, conservative town I lived in in Saitama, there was a six foot tall*, mini-skirted transvestite (of foreign Asian appearance) who used to cycle round all day long - hair in pigtails, and hairy legs all-a-kimber on his little bike.

Another thing that used to make me laugh was seeing the lower-ranked (perhaps apprentice?) sumo wrestlers in my local combini buying pornography with their bentos in their pyjamas - and then watching their precarious frames cycle off through the narrow streets - saucy magazines in one hand intricately balancing the delicious grub in the other. (Perhaps that's the only reason they bought those publications??! )

Strange thing I have seen in a bus:

The bus was very crowded, and a lady was sitting on one of the seats while ( I guess her BF/man) was standing next to her. On the first look it was nothing special but later on I saw the she actually had her hands in his pants and was moving it ....

That sure was a weird thing to see.... i'll think of more stuff, but I haven't seen that many weird things... yet.

Another police call.

We had a call for an apartment with a bad smell and no one had seen the ower for a few days. Usually that means a dead body, and in the hot summer can be awful to go to. This turned out to be a man in his late sixties who had accidentally electrocuted himself in a very weird way. He had one of the old style electric train power boxes where it adjusted the speed of the electric train by how much you turned the knob, up(fast/more juice), or down(low juice/slow). He had hooked some small battery terminal clamps to the electric train power supply and then clamped them on his body(won't say where , but you can guess). He was sitting there (dead) in a woman's pink bra and panties with a bunch of porno magazines scattered about his feet. I guess in his over excited state, he turned the power up a little too high and caused a heart attack. I often wish these memories would go away, but 30 years later, things like this thread bring them back, UGH!

Funny or accident?

i was in Japan and i was in the metro.

and i was standing next to some girlfriends i met earlier in the metro.

then suddenly a keitai went off, it had the same tune as one of those girl i know.

and suddenly Asuka(the girl) took out a vibrator out her purse and she said: Moshi moshi?

Everybody was shocked and the other girls too.
Suddenly i started to laugh and some other people (who were still awake, because most people were asleep) laughed also.

suddenly Asuka was so red as a tomato.

my god thats a small moment i also won't forget quickly.

I remember once going along the M6 motorway through Birmingham when I saw a police car had pulled over a car on the hard shoulder. Not weird at all you say to youreself, except the car driver had stripped down to his underpants and was lying on the hard shoulder with a very bemused looking policewman looking anywhere, but at him.

A couple of years ago I was out and about in Azabu Juban which is a pretty respectable area when I turn to see a very young well dressed guy ( maybe 20) with his you know what out and really going to town on himself right out on the street in front of everyone! I poked one of my friends and and said " check THAT out!!!" she turned and had a look....He saw us and this just made more excited....we didnt want to see the rest!

A small one, but in Florida I went to a bar, and obviously it was full of drunk people. A spanish/portugese guy basically had had a lot to eat, and threw it all up over the bar. Bad enough? He then continued to scoop all of the vomit into a glass and proceeded by drinking it. It wasn't very nice. The things people do when they are drink...
