Weirdest Random Stranger Moment?

[Aedwynn]

I was stopped by a raving lunatic on the high street who pointed at something I was holding (a shopping bag) and said;

"Six six six is the number of the Beast!"

I replied that "0.666 is the number of the millibeast."

That turned out to be a mistake, on my part. I think he saw me as a challenge, then...

And then?

Oh, he started ranting to me about his particular idea of the Christian afterlife.

He even had little cartoon pictures of both Heaven and Hell drawn up to show me and everything. The picture of Hell was particularly dire - it was like a cartoon of a kid with a Home Alone *gasp* expression being surrounded by free-floating word balloons containing words like "Anxiety", "Worry", "Anger", etc. The pic of Heaven was the same kid on a desert island in a hammock, I think.

I made a few more silly jokes because I was a complete moron back then, apparently, but eventually my snarky attitude was replaced by fear - this guy was completely cuckoo (not to mention, heavily scarred and bigger than me). I think I eventually ducked inside the nearby Games Workshop to escape. He was out there for quite a while waiting for me, too.

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?".

And your reply was...

Completely unimportant. If you must know (lol) I just said , "Oh... kay", but in my head I was thinking, "Bitches be crazy"

Opportunity lost...

My thoughts exactly. Girl wanted you, man

I was walking at a creepy part of town, alone, lost, and at night. All I could see to my left was a train. On the right of me, was a couple of abandoned-looking buildings with wire fences around them. The road in front of me led to who knows where.

So anywho, a lone car pulls up to me, and the window goes down to reveal a balding, probably late 30's man with glasses. The following conversation ensues...

"Are you bisexual?"
"No."
"Oh. Sorry. (*drives off*)"

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.

Too many times ive hidden in a Games Workshop, works everytime though.

I was walking past Buckingham Palace (as you do), and a familly (clearly tourists) walked up to me and asked when it would be possible to meet the Queen. As you would expect, that one caught me a little bit off guard.

I also once watched a bloke walk up to a group of girls out shopping and ask:
"Excuse me, are you lesbians?". I almost choked on my sandwich when I heard that.

I was working at Target, near the end of my shift at about 10 pm and a guy comes in line. I don't say anything to him because I just want to leave and he gets all pissed and goes on for about five minutes about how I should be more talkative. The enitre time i was thinkig "If I kill you, I wouldn't need to talk to you."

I've occasionally gotten random texts from people, but nothing i remember.

I was in daytona with a friend of mine. we had just woken up (like 9 am) and walked out of the beach entrance of our hotel to have our morning cigarette. A really old and prostitute looking lady walks up to us from the beach and asks us for a smoke. we oblige her and walk a few steps away and my friend says to me as a JOKE "what no flash?" she over hears him and says "oh sorry" then proceeds to show us the most gnar set of tits i have ever seen, one looked straight while the other pointed ninety degrees left. she then told me that being indian like i am, i knew nothing about getting a sunburn as bad as hers (i'm 100% german). the indian comment was funny because as i walked back to my room it felt like the trail of tears.

After shuffling through the store and getting what I needed, I got in line to be rung up. Somebody got behind me in line, and didn't seem to notice me until I started sniffing his arm.

...I'm lucky I didn't get punched.

You get so many cookies it's almost unbelievable.

Yay! I like cookies! The sad thing is, while I was shuffling around the store I kept having flashbacks to the ZP Left 4 Dead review where Yahtzee starts off talking about nerds who dress up like zombies and harass pedestrians. Yeah, that was me.

 

[ayuri]

this is just the best today i found a picture of me at an event at my school posted with a bunch of other people on the school post board or whatever. ok so it didint look bad untill i saw my pic with love you and a little heart made out of stapels on top of my it. the creepiest part was i never have had a girlfriend or even been approached by a girl (not avoided just no signs of evn a crush) scince grade one and she does not go to my school.

 

[Helimocopter]

I was going to a football game in the TCF bank stadium in Minnesota, i was wearing my Run DMC t-shirt and three completely separate people were like "run dmc brother" and gave me a high five or knuckles

 

[Elesar]

Well I was fighting these Talon Company mercs and this guy in a trench coat showed up and gunned them down with a...
Annnnnd, I'm done milking that joke.

 

[Punisher A.J.]

F*** spider man I took a picture with a Universal Employee.

(guess that makes the weird stranger, heh anyway dudes name was chuck)

I was waiting at the bus stop fairly late at night. This sketchy looking guy comes up to me and he said "Hey, buddy! You wanna cash this check for me?" I obviously said no and moved away from him. 5 minutes later he comes back over and says "Hey, what time is it man?"(He said this while moving uncomfortably close to me.) So I just look at him and realize he is wearing a watch...so I start getting really freaked out and just tell him the time. Then he ask me if I wanted to cash the check again...and I said no again...then I just caught the first bus that came to the stop...it wasn't even the one I needed haha.

I was jogging around the track with my friend when some homeless dude came riding up beside us on a bike. Out of no where he says "Nice weather if you're a duck". He kept riding beside us for a few more seconds, then, when it became obvious we weren't going to respond he rode off.

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.

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.

 

[Low Key]

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."
