QOTD 5/23
What is the strangest/funniest thing that you have heard a strange say?
my read shelf:
Re: QOTD 5/23
I have 2.
1. I was in the grocery store checking out. I was putting my stuff on the conveyer belt and the lady behind me puts her stuff up too. Well obviously it starts moving and her stuff is in the way of me putting my stuff up. She finally looks over as says, "Wow these things move?!" I really didn't know what to say to that.
2. DH and I were walking down the street to lunch the other day. There was this older lady with a cane yelling at someone on her cell phone. At first I heard things like "I mean everything that I say." Next thing you know she says, "I am going to punch you so hard in the mouth, you won't be able to suck d**k for a month." Wow...just wow...
I can only think of one right now. Usually when I hear something hilarious from a stranger it's a kid.
This is more pervy than weird or funny. My girlfriends and I were about 19 walking around down town Chicago. Anyway, it was summer and I was wearing a pretty low cut tank top. This guy walking the other direction just leaned down as he walked by said, "Nice bounce." and kept walking like it never happened. We all stopped walking and busted out laughing right there.
Wow, those two are pretty crazy! Especially the old lady with the cane! I would have laughed so hard at that!!
When I was 16, I was a hostess at a local restaurant. I, unfortunately, have a large chest and some douchbag 40+ year old man came up to me and said "Everyone at our table has been wondering this since we've been here. We just have to know - are those real?" I just looked at him shocked for a about a minute before I blurted out "I'm 16 a*shole!"
They got thrown out of the restaurant after telling my manager.
It was maybe 3 years ago on my birthday. I was sort of "dressed up" because it was my bday and it was also the first day of the semester. I was walking to my apartment after class and a guy pulled up and rolled down his window. I was sort of embarrassed because I thought he was going to hit on me but then he was like:
"have you ever considered selling your hair? I could give you $300 for it."
I was so caught off guard. Ummmm, what?! I was just like "umm, it's not for sale." my H (FI at the time, obviously) was like "what?! you should have sold/cut it!" ummm. no. sketchy.
(btw, I have super long, thiiick, curly hair. guess it's a hot commodity in the wig world or something, hahaha)
2 things:
1) In high school and college, I worked in a pharmacy as a tech. One day, I answered the phone and it was this guy talking really quickly and breathless. He wanted a refill on his Viagara...just 1 pill. Next thing I know, the phone is saying "please insert x amount to continue this call". It turns out that this guy was calling from a pay phone somewhere LOL. I guess he was pretty desperate for his Viagara!
2) I was in the grocery store and since it was Fall in Upstate NY, there were big bins of apples everywhere. Some of the apples were HUGE, like way more than you could eat for a snack. So, I was picking through the apple bin to find ones that were more of a reasonable portion and the lady next to me said "yeah, I'm looking for the small ones too. There's so much fat in the big ones and that's not good for you." I told her that apples don't really contain fat. The look on her face was priceless, like I had just told her some revolutionary fact! It was really funny, but it's so sad when people have no clue on nutrition.
I was at the mall once and I saw this little boy staring a giant display image in a bathing suit store window. The model in the picture was literally spilling out of her bikini top. The boy stared for a while until his mom told him to come along...then she saw what he was looking at and said "That lady is wearing a bathing suit" to which he replied very slowly "but...she's naked"
The tone of his voice was fascination but confusion and my H and I found it soooo funny. The kid was maybe 2 or 3. I know it's not as funny as some other stories but we thought it was hilarious.
Oh, and this one time I ordered a Pepsi at a restaurant and the server said "a Pepsi for Poopsi"...not sure why!
Scene: chinese restaurant in college
the next table over some guy in a suit yells at one of his companions (who was obviously pregnant) " I DO NOT WANT YOUR BABY DISEASE!!!"...then the table laughed...so we did too. the guy literally STOOD UP and threw his napkin to yell this! so funny/weird
I also work in a high school...so I hear ridiculous things and half conversations all the time.. pretty amusing.
I had a hard time coming up with this one! Let me preface this story by saying I met my best friend in middle school, the name of which is Head Middle school.
In 8th grade i was walking around the mall with my BFF and another girl we'd met in 7th grade (our HS is 7-12). My BFF and I got to taking about 6th grade when the other girl screams at the top of her lungs "I'm never coming with you guys again, all you ever talk about is Head!!!" she didn't realize what she'd said, so she got uber pissed when my BFF and I cracked up.
I went to the dmv and the 2 guys behind me were talking really loud about this one guys relationship. It started off ok where was saying he was there to be responsible about his tickets and taking care of his kids and he loves his baby mama, but then went on to say he was running around on her and how she is full of drama and nags him all the time, trapped him with the kids and they wouldn't be together if they didn't have them.
Then he said he just wants her to let him be him aka let him cheat. Then he went in to say he is going to continue to do the right thing and take care of his children and child support but one day he is going to get sick of his baby mama drama and is just going to leave her high and dry.
One grown man to another, in the parking lot of a grocery store: "You've got ten minutes to pee, George."
On a public beach at about 10 pm, somewhere off in the distance: "I'M NAKED!" to which my best friend decides to holler back in response, "GOOD FOR YOU!"
