After a solid 40+ hours without seeing a glitch (aside from two crashes to desktop), I fell through the floor of a cave and after about 10 seconds of falling, was teleported back to the entrance.
Alright, lets swap Skyrim glitch stories.

Watched a horse I stole levitate backwards, fly part-way up a cliff, then warp down the road a couple hundred feet.
One strange glitch I saw yesterday. I was exploring the plains and I came across a solitary deer. As I came closer the deer didn't run it just looked at me and I looked at it. It was a beautiful moment of connection between a lonely adventurer and a lonely animal, and then I buried my axe in its skull, skinned its corpse and went on my merry way. Any animal stupid enough not to run away from a man wearing furs and wielding an axe doesnt deserve to live.
I've never been invited by giants to see Skyrim from above because I've let them milk their mammoths (or whatever it is they do) in peace.
However, as my computer isn't really up to date, I have a slight lag which has the weirdest effect upon gravity; whenever I ride downhill, it doesn't quite catch up and my horse will ride straight forward into thin air before sloooowly falling to the ground (sometimes 30 meters down) and die.
Same applies for my fellow Stormcloaks (two of which fell in stairs and died while we were looking for that crown) and Imperial Guards, who stepped off towers 20 meters tall and fell to their death in their haste to fight me.

That has happened to me as well, but if I wait a little bit, it always fixes itself.Domehammer said:
o.t. I ran into the backwards dragon over the weekend. Weird, he managed to kill a couple bandits, but never landed and I just gave up on killing him.
In a town I saw a small river have a texture glich as it would change its structure to a what looks like a beta test river grafic
I was in the gloombound mine near windhelm getting Ebony when I bumped a cart with some ebony ore in it. An Ebony ore fel reight out of the ceiling. i did it again, and another ore appeared out of the ceiling. i did this for a few minutes, went outside, smelted it down, went and made daedric weapons and armor, and the stuff i made read 'Stolen' even though the Ebony ore and the ingots did not. then i fell out of the map and respawned in falkreath with my armor. I couldn't love this game more.
About half the times I try to lockpick, it sticks. Without touching the controller, the lock tries to unlock itself and breaks the pick. This repeats until I exit out. Sometimes, this will happen with multiple attempts. I'll exit out and try again, but it keeps doing it. If I wait a couple seconds, it's fine usually.
I also can't drop or store Finn's Lute or Pantaea's Flute. And the Wolf Queen quest refuses to start properly.

Right now, I'm currently having a freezing problem, where the game is freezing every time I try to load up my character. It's worrying me.
A group of the Imperial Legion Dance Group was moonwalking down the road with a Stormcloak Prisoner. After they pass me, the one at the rear stops and looks into my eyes. "Keep out of this" he says, before promptly levitating into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.
I will never forget Levitator and his Moonwalking Army.

once i found a horse who had buried his front half in the ground with just the arse sticking up from the ground somewhere outside the dark brotherhood sanctuary. i swear i am not making this up
This just happened to me a few minutes ago. I exist the Palace of Kings in Windhelm, having gotten permission to investigate the local murder. I take a step or two, when suddenly a dragon drops from the sky, lands back-first into the palace's courtyard, and disintegrates before my eyes. Um... 'kay... not that I'm complaining about the free soul and bodily remains, but that was... odd...
Recently, I was fighting a group of Forsworn, and whenever my character would do that special power attack that severs the opponent's head, the body would turn invisible as it fell to the ground. I'd still be able to loot it and move it around with the "grab" function, I just couldn't see it.
There was also that time I was fighting a dragon, who landed, as dragons often do, and spontaneously died even though he had plenty of health. I ended up being murdered by Forsworn soon after and having to reload a few times, and each time the same dragon would die the exact same way.

I've found two minor ones and a game-breaking one.
I got subtitles stuck when Karliah grunts. I just wandered around forever with "Unnghhhh" on my screen until somebody else spoke.
I killed a Khajit in Riften (not going to specify to avoid spoilers), and his tail wouldn't stop moving. It kept flopping around. I even took his body and moved it around, and his tail still kept flopping back and forth like it had a mind of it's own.
The game-breaking one happened in Helgen in the beginning of the game. I was rushing through it and I ran ahead of Ralof going instead the tower. The dragon busted through, and breathed fire like he was suppose to, then just stayed there. He wouldn't move out of the way so I could jump down. I climbed on top of the dragon but couldn't reach the inn below (I think his wings were in the way). Ralof was stuck in sneak mode on the stairs and wouldn't move. He kept just repeating his normal lines.
I gotta say, that bug scared the crap out of me when I turned on the stairs and had a dragon head just staring at me.

I got three weird ones, haven't heard of them before so they might be unique or whatnot.
The first is that I was in Riften, grabbing a bounty from a dragonslaying job, and as I approach Mistveil keep something most curious catches my eye. The castle walls are all gone. The doors are still there, just none of the walls. So, being the very serious person I am I saved my game... and ran through the un-walls... and fell out of Riften, I then spent the next hour running and shouting around a near-featureless Skyrim. Curiously, Odaving still came when called and I could still create a storm (no lightning strikes though). So after a while I grew bored, and infinitely lost, and reloaded my Riften save to find that the walls had been rebuilt.
The second, I found riotously hilarious. Alright, so my character already finished the companions, and got rid of werewolf status (I'm high level and I need the resting bonuses to get anywhere at this point). Anyways, I go to darkwater crossing to finish up the last bit of delivery sidequests for the npc residents. So, I walk out of the cordunum mine and what do I see but Skjor! Yes, good old dead Skjor... traveling slowly over the ground with invisible greatsword in hand and everything from his waist down merged into the land. So, I, out of intense curiosity, decide to follow him as he makes his painfully slow trip across Skyrim. Needless to say, it was an interesting trip, turns out that bandits are unable to attack handicapped zombies but the feeling isn't mutual when I watched him butcher a fort full of bandits without one of them raising a hand (invisibility potions for observation purposes). After a few hours of this (I found myself enthralled by him) I decided to test my luck and proceeded to murder him, as a vampire with a torch, at which point he vanished into nothingness.
One of my sub-characters joined up with the legion and ended up killing a fort full of stormcloaks, finding in the process the best invention ever. An alchemy table built into a workbench!
Short version:
1. Fell out of Riften and traveled the world of shapeless polygons.
2. Watched half of a dead nord werewolf ghost butcher bandits before killing him.
3. Alchemic workbench win.

My favorite glitch in Skyrim that I have encountered thus far has to be this:
So I was walking around the forest killing wolves to get leather for light armor because I was doing my stealth play through, when I discovered a peculiar table in the middle of no where. A bandit was sitting on one chair. The other chair? A dragon. Sitting up right. I don't know how, maybe the skin coding for bandit and dragon got switched, but I swear to christ I saw that, and it was amazing.
