  • Weird?

    A full on ceremonial magic ritual. Weird because they just rolled up in a van, started unpacking things, did it, then packed back up and left. It was obviously well planned and organized. When I asked one of them what was going on, and the initial response was nervous, I explained that I have no problem with it, just curious, and another one said that just didn't have the time to explain, but I'd thank them for it if they did.

    A small orgy. Weird because you don't expect it in public.

    A line of young men marching in clown shoes, and nothing else. Frat initiation. Dong was flapping. I don't think it needs explaining why it's weird.

    Three drunk rednecks who lost a bet pulling up to a leather and cowboy gay bar and asking if there was anyone that would spank them. I volunteered gladly. I then spanked them and told them if they ever tried to start trouble anywhere I worked, I'd fucking curb stomp them. One of the most entertaining events in my entire time bouncing that particular bar.

    Weird but disturbing, a bunch of people hovering over someone trying to figure out if she was dead or not. Not trying to help, not doing anything at all other than debating if she was breathing. Weird because wtf, you assholes. Also why it was disturbing. Woman was drunk off her ass, passed out, and was likely damn close to death because she was hypothermic. Cold to the touch, and the EMTs said she was in rough shape overall. And yes, I had to make the call to 911, none of the assholes could be bothered, and cell phones were present.

    I can keep going, I'm 50, and spent a lot of my years in jobs that had me out in public a good bit lol. You live long enough, you accrue a book worth of weird shit people do in public (and private).

    • How many people do you need before you hit “small orgy”? Like 3 people is obviously a threesome, is 4 people a small orgy?

      And how many before it is no longer a small orgy?

      • Well, the way I've seen it explained is that anything over 4 can be an orgy, as long as nobody is just watching. Otherwise, it's just group sex.

        However, I've also seen the argument made that 4 can be an orgy so long as everyone is involved with at least two other people at once.

        Me, I say it's a small orgy when it's over 4 but under a dozen.

        In this case, it was nine people. 4 dongs present. But they were all putting things into each other (if you count tongues, and I do) and mostly with more than one person, so it wasn't just group sex with enough people to count as an orgy.

        And yes, I did watch for a while. It was. . . interesting. It was too weird to be arousing, what with the suddenness of it, and the location, and the utter lack of aggressive exhibitionism. Like, obviously they wanted to be seen, it was public. But it wasn't like they were paying attention to being seen, they weren't just watching people watch them. It was almost performance art tbh, just performance art with jizz.

    • saw a man lying on the street
      someone's chopped off his head
      and I'm the only one who stops
      to see if he's dead....

  • The DC Metro system has no public bathrooms. This causes problems, if you can imagine. I was starting my first week of work in Silver Spring, and as I was exiting the station, there was a woman in leather spandex stirrup pants yelling at the station manager she needed to use the bathroom. The station manager told her "we don't have bathrooms, lady." Back and forth as I passed them. Then the woman just said, "A-IIGHT!" backed up, pulled down the spandex, pulled aside her thong, squatted, and dropped a huge, coiling log right in front of the turnstiles.

    We had a homeless (?) guy named "Gandalf." he was named that because he wore a stadium jacket with a broken zipper, tied at the waist with a rope, big floppy hat, and a cane. Used to rant in tongues. Near where I worked was the (now former) Discovery Building, and during "Shark Week," they put a HUGE inflatable shark "through" the building (head on one side, tail on the other. This thing was stories high). Gandalf used to spend time across the street, shouting biblical phrases at it like he was banishing some demon. Thanks for keeping us safe, Gandalf.

    Before they build the STSS, there were "gangster types" that would hang around, gun handles poking from their waistbands. That stopped the DAY after football player Plaxico Burress nearly shot his dick off in a nightclub by having his gun stored in a similar way. Never saw guys flashing their gun like that since.

    • I feel bad for laughing at Gandalf yelling in tongues at a building sized inflatable shark, but damn that got me. Hope the guy is doing well now.

  • Two things really stand out to me.

    I saw a unicyclist swerve and nearly wipe out avoiding a lamp post that he didn't notice because he was looking at his phone.

    I saw a goth dwarf scramble for safety in a service station forecourt because an oblivious woman was driving straight at him.

  • On a late night train ride a man sat down and was looking at himself in the reflection of the glass. He just says "You judging me?" The three of us just fucking glued ourselves to our phones. It's a fun story now because it was so bizarre, but it was very worrying at the time. In the moment I think we weren't certain if he was talking to us or not.

  • My friend on acid walking into a building and then making the absolute loudest most evil sounding laugh imaginable that echoed throughout the entire area

  • Junkie sleeping on a street on his face and chest, legs hanging over him in an arc having his shoe heals next to his ears.

  • Walking through a cemetry at night, with 8 friends.

    A tree ahead starts violently shaking its top branch then stops.

    We all continue walking past the tree, which is around 6m high. All examine the top of it to see no person or animal up there.

    Agree it was weird.

    It was shaking too much to be a cat or bird. No wind at the time.

  • In 2008 at about 22:30 waiting for some people after a meal in a deserted South African shopping centre, a man on a Segway rounds the corner towards me then disappears in to the distance.
