Weirdest Random Stranger Moment?

[rhyno435]

This happened JUST the other day! I was coming out of the bathroom at my school, and this girl Sonja is standing there, just literally standing there doing nothing (This is during class btw I had a bathroom pass), and then she says, "Oh...Hi KC! What would you do if I took off my pants right now?".

Why can't I be you?

My friend crashed his bike and a guy on a unicycle came along and said;

"See! That's why one wheel is better." and he cycled away.

That was funny. I had a hearty chuckle.

I was walking downtown with a friend after a concert, and we decided to go to the movies afterwards. Outside, a group was sitting on the benches. A man in a fedora stands up, looks at us and asks "Hey! Free hugs?"

Idaho, downtown, past midnight, "free hugs".
SOMETHING IS WRONG.

We stand, scared, not sure what to think. He gets up, saying "You hesitated! That means yes." and proceeds to give us a bear hug each.

We were rather speechless.

Something like that happened to a friend of mine.

It was about 3 or 4 years ago during my grade 8 graduation trip. We were in Montreal and while we were walking around a plaza, a guy was giving "free hugs". All the girls were hugging him. Eventually my friend walks up and asks for a hug. He goes to hug him, then proceeds to yell "PSYCHE!" and runs away laughing. The hugging guy looked like he wanted to cry. It was the funniest thing I ever saw.

I once had a guy ask me for the time and after I told him he went on to basically tell me his entire life story. He then gave me his number, which I didn't ask for, and told me to call him but that he was only going to be in town for a month so I needed to call fast.

Another time I was on a street corner waiting to cross when a guy right behind me started yelling "hey thanks! Thanks for shooting me!" I turn around and he had his shirt pulled up with a bad looking scar on his chest and stomach. Turns out he was yelling at a cop car parked at the red light, but it still scared the crap out of me for a second when I thought he was yelling at me.

Last winter, when I was walking to class, a guy walking by told me to be careful of the ice, but that if I started to fall he would fly over and catch me and we could fly away together. All I could think to tell him was that I was scared of heights.

I was once sitting at the bus stop and a security guard came up to me and started talking to me about how his black american father had ten wives and that he himself had about sixty brothers and sisters.

My weirdest stranger moments have to do with bums that have come up to me while I was walking down the street minding my own business. One asked me for a dollar after he told me he broke into a car to steal a pair of gloves. Then another one approached me while I was in Florida on vacation and started telling me about how cabbies are assholes while he drooled all over himself.

Ah, memories.

Edit: Oh yes, another time after I just moved out of my parents' house into a not so upscale apartment, some guy came up to me telling me he had some Percocet for sale. I wasn't about to buy anything from him, let alone unmarked pills, but he was determined to prove to me they were real and I had some time to spare, so I let lead me around the hood to other random people so they could tell me the pills were real. He sold a few of them to a couple crackheads, he gave me his number, then I dropped him off at some other apartment like 20 miles away from where we started. All in all, an interesting experience. And no, I never called him.

Well, I'm currently employed as a bartender/waiter in a resturant. One day I was taking an older couple's order (Probably late 40s early 50s). They tell me everything they want, I repeat it to them and tell them that it will be ready shortly. The man turned to me and, without so much as cracking a smile, said "I love you." His wife laughed, I stammered a bit and said "Well, sir, I have strong feelings for you aswell."

Here's the scenario. I was surfing and got knocked off my board. This was Northern California during the autumn, so if you dont want to get hypothermia you had to wear a wetsuit. Coincidentally, a diver was near the area and had a camera. He called to his dive buddy "Hey there' an otter here!" and snapped a pic of me from the side. What's bizzare was that he was about 10 feet away. I didn't say anything, and he just swam away, probably going to try to get the photo published in National Geographic of Sierra.

I had one just an hour ago.

As I was walking home at about midnight, I walked past a kid who asked me to pick him up some smokes from the store. no stores were open at the hour that sell smokes in the neighborhood.

I told him this and he went off on a tirade, throwing words like "douchebag" around pretty freely. I attempt to walk home, and he follows me, asking me what I was doing out at midnight, and where I was going, and where I was coming from, and where I worked.

I humored him, as I didn't feel like killing some spazzed out little kid with a vulcan neck pinch, and told him I work at the video store down the street. He goes on to say "Have you seen that movie? It's a VCR movie, that 2012 or some shit? that shits awesome, I watch that shit all the time" and I say "no, I haven't seen it yet" he says "What? You haven't seen it? That's crazy shit"

I then proceed to keep walking and he says "What's your problem man, you seem all pissed off and shit" I just say I need to get home, and then He has another spazz attack and runs across the street.

I was a little freaked out until about 10 minutes ago that I'd hear banging on the door and some crack addled little kid was going to try and break in and I'd have to beat him up.

Some friends and I were in Kansas City for a concert. We were in line and I was having a very involving conversation when a homeless man, making his way down the line, taps me on the shoulder and asks, "Can you spare any change?" I immediately replied, with out thinking or pause, "No thank you." It took me a little while to realize what I had just said, but by that time the guy was well down the line.

I still like it when I sit down in a restaurant and get called 'ma'am or miss' by the waiter. I suppose that's not really a stranger moment, but...eh, it is to me.
