So I was just randomly thinking about something that I was told when in high school, and it just made me realize "man that was really fucked up. I'm pretty sure this dude was full of shit". So I thought I'd share a few examples of things that people have said to me, or around me, that made me go "what the fuck?"
Example 1: I was in high school, in art class, and we had a substitute teacher that day. And she decided to play a VHS of some guy who was a friend of hers, who was giving an art lecture at another class. The idea, was that he had traveled abroad (don't recall where, but it was somewhere in the middle east I think, this was back in the 90s), and he was telling us what it was like. And I kid you not, he told us a story of some place (don't remember where), where a local dish was...shit-bread. Yep, you read that right. Shit....bread. He said, that they would take their shit, throw it on a wall, and let it bake in the sun, and then they would work it into bread.
Example 2: Same school, different class, they played us a video of some religious dude, basically preaching to us about how we shouldn't have pre-marital sex, because it was an afront to god, as we would be "rutting in the fields like animals".
Example 3&4: Same dude, said both things, which these days I find even more disturbing than I did back then. We were at a Waffle House, late at night, just talking, me and several friends, and this guy, who was a friend of a friend. I had only really met him that night, and they started talking about guns and violence. And this guy, a fairly overweight, sweaty, greasy haired white dude that just screams the poster child of school shooter said "Yeah I hate physical violence..." which at first got my attention, as I thought he was about to talk about being a pacifist or something, but then he followed it with '...that's too much effort." He then made a gun gesture with his fingers, and said "i'd rather just apply 2 pounds of pressure to pull a trigger and shoot you." Which made me just sort of do a double take and blink in bafflement. To so casually discuss killing someone to save them physical exertion. Later, this same guy, talked about how he and his dad, had been mapping out their house, to try and find out just how many guns they would need to have, and where they would need to be, so that no matter where in the house you were standing, there was a gun within arms reach of you.
.....so yeah that was a really messed up dude.
Example 5: Same night, same situation as examples 3&4, another guy at a nearby table, overheard us talking, specifically that guy, and as we were getting up to leave, he called me over. Now I'm a fairly friendly guy, and I'm comfortable talking to just about anyone that comes up to me or talks to me, so I stopped and listened to him. He proceeded to tell me, that he was a Vietnam veteran (it would check out, based on his age at that time, but no way to confirm it then), and he was fairly troubled by the way that we were casually talking about guns and killing. Now I didn't point out that I had said nothing of the sort, as I am pretty much a pacifist, and despise guns of any kind in real life, but he clearly needed to get something off his chest, so I let him talk. He then proceeded to tell me stuff like how when they were in their choppers flying over a hostile zone, the standard procedure was to take your helmet off and sit on it, as you were more likely to take a bullet up the ass, than in the head when flying overhead. I think said basically "Sorry to hear that, I wish there was something I could do to help you. " To which he said "If you want to help me, you can go with me out to my car, take the gun I have in the truck, and shoot me in the head, because I'm too scared to do it myself."
So that was a fun night.
So what about you? What weird and fucked up shit have people said to you
