Someone sprayed ME with a bottle of water. I was on my phone, and when i looked up this old lady was spraying water over her shoulder without looking and hit me directly in the face! When i asked what she was doing she walked over to me saying someone had cursed her, and her reflection in the window was facing the wrong way so she decided to spray “holy water” over her shoulder.
Thankfully after getting a COVID test done (this was in 2021 mind you) it was in fact just water.
reflection in the window was facing the wrong way so she decided to spray “holy water”
And this kind of thing happens often enough that she carries holy water on her all the time? 'K ‘mam we’re gonna need you to take your meds’
I’m just glad there wasn’t anything mixed into the water, and I wasn’t being sprayed with some unknown virus 🦠
Seeing your reflection facing the wrong way would be actually terrifying… I think it would take more than holy water to fix that, though.
Possibly, but is also a random curse to have if that was the only symptom 🤔
Random… Until your reflection grabs you from behind and pulls you into the mirror realm…
Oh shit!!
Not just water, but holy water. At least now u know ur not a vampire either!
Always good to see a silver lining 😉
An entire international high-speed train was delayed for almost 2 hours because Karen got the police called over having too much foam in her beer.
OMG
You want to hear the story?
yup
I was seated near the restaurant wagon on an international train. I had my headphones on and wasn’t aware of what was going on, but suddenly there was a ruckus that got my attention.
A lady has gotten into an argument with a train employee about the beer to foam ratio in her cup. Apparently there was some name calling involved before I got to listen into the conversation, but she literally called for the manager. Eventually the police was called (which already meant delays for the train) and since it was basically the “border station”, the police told Karen that she had to get off the train if she wants to press charges. And then the strangest thing happened:
She just said no. She paid for her ticket, she’s not getting off … and the fucking police caved. They held the train and interviewed her on it. Why, I do not know. It seems so insane.
I was so lucky that I could get out of the train at the station we stopped and get home at a reasonable time … but I never wanted to throw beer at someone’s face that much. Fuck this lady in particularity …
Nuts
Baltimore Maryland train, some man thought I was so pretty(?) he handed me a $5 bill on his way out of the train. I looked at him like , “WTF?!” wordlessly declined his offering, he looked offended, and he left. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve personally experienced or seen on public transportation but I’ve seen a lot weirder things online. Like a couple months ago that man who fucking STABBED some young lady in the neck & MURDERED her 🤦🏼♀️
The one that stands out is someone on a call in a packed bus who started shouting “I didn’t tell no one you got raped in prison!” into the phone repeatedly.
They made themselves a liar. Felt bad for whoever was on the other side of the line.
He was probably pretending to talk to someone on the phone. But there was no one on the phone. He was senile. Because that’s the demographic we’re dealing with here.
It was a woman in her 20s who had been having a much more minor argument on the phone up to that point. I’ve seen the scenario you’re talking about too, but this one seemed like an actual phone call.
Then again, who knows?
Would have been 2003/04, waiting for the bus to college. Dude who looked like a farmer with a huge beard asked “is this the stop for town.” I said yes, sat down, didn’t think anything of it. Few minutes later I noticed his bag was moving. No idea what the hell was in it.
I’ve been on a bus that drove into an active flood.
That was pretty exciting watching everyone jump on their seat to avoid the water.
Someone planing out a snuff and CNC porno shoot with some woman threw the phone that is being shot in a former ww2 bunker with nazi uniforms and BD dildos
Snuff? Someone’s just casually planning out their own or somebody else’s murder over the phone?
YES! IT WAS SOOO STRANGE!!
This is fascinating. Do you remember any details? Was it the guy or the woman who was going to be killed? Was there anyone else involved?
It was a guy late 20s or early 30s calling a woman. The woman he called from what i heard would have been the victim of the rape snuff and another guy plus the guy Filming
Wow. What country was this in?
Germany
I jooed.on at my.stop and then get.off at my stop and that was it…weird shit huh!
c/aneurysmposting
Idk if this counts as crazy but one day a guy went up to me and said “hey I’m about to smoke meth. Its probably going to smell so you can change seats if you want to.” And then I did and that was basically it.
Very polite methhead.
Around here they don’t ask they just fucking light up. So I would actually appreciate that. Sounds like a decent person.
Nothing that crazy I guess, but two events I remember:
-
A small fire broke out next to the tracks and the train driver actually stopped the train and got out to extinguish it
-
A train busker played so loudly and terribly that a group of random passengers got together to shove him out of the train at the next station.
Someone playing an instrument inside of a train, Jesus that’s obnoxious
Indeed. Busking on the street is fine, as you can just walk somewhere else if you don’t like it, but on a train you’re trapped with them. Pretty sure it’s illegal here as well.
Yeah, you haven’t lived until you’ve had to ride the express A going downtown with a mariachi band at full-tilt.
There are places where this is common. They hope to get paid (I assume to get them to leave). Sometimes they’re accompanied by pick-pockets who pray on the distracted.
Assholes, they’re basically extorting people to stop the annoying shit and to get them to fuck off
Yeah, I hadn’t heard any buskers on the Stockholm metro for years until a few weeks ago when a guy I had seen earlier busking, came onboard again with his weird wooden box with metal strings that is played with two hooked sticks and started playing.
Not proper public transport, but my dad is an active member of a heritage railroad.
This railroad rund both steam and diesel trains.
When it is dry outside they will run a fire watch train after the steam train, basically a tank car with water and a petrol pump, pulled by a diesel locomotive.
But this day they didn’t run the fire watch train, and I was tagging along with dad as he drove the classic DMU trains.
We come around a corner and see smoke comming from a farmer’s field, it had caught on fire/smolder from the steam train…
We stop, obviously, bring our large water can and start working the fire, after a few min the fire department came and we could hand it over to them

On the NYC subway a guy was taking up two seats, he pulls out a notebook and starts (screaming) reading from it. It was all about some conspiracy that got him kicked out of Columbia University. People started moving away from him. At the next stop a guy gets on the train and says to “hey psycho you really need two seats” the crazy guy slides over freeing up one of the seats and then goes back to yelling.
“hey psycho you really need two seats” Read this in the TF2 Scout character’s voice
If you were from, where I was from, you’d be
fuckingdead.It is entirely within Scouts character to just… “yo, knucklehead, scoot over”, and then just put on his headset when the screaming resumes.
Though, being from Boston, and being exceptionally prideful… that may cause some issues on the NYC subway.
Newbie strap-hanger new to The City, a train rolled-up empty and it was cold or hot as fuck, and in my naivety was like, “these idiots aren’t hittin up all the free space!!!”… Yeah, dude taking a shit.
A very intoxicated man explained at length to my friend and me that we should stay in school instead of dropping out to join the military like he did. He wasn’t wrong.
I was sat opposite a woman who had a grocery bag filled to the brim with crisps packets, or so it seemed. She started out just munching on crisps, mouth fully open, shoving her hands in there. She emptied two packs in between two stops (metro). Efficient.
When she had enough she started rumaging frantically through her bag for a solid 20 seconds, and then triumphantly dug out a can of whipped cream (squirty cream format for my UK friends), opened it, and just emptied the whole thing in her mouth in one go!
It was in France, of all fucking places.
Continental breakfast of champions
Maybe she was pregante
Pregante? What is that? Is that how babby formed?
No that’s pragnent
Gregnant.
- perginat
- pargent
- bregant
- prengan
- pergert
Those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head
Or just really hungry for trash
No she did not seem interested in me.
pregananant
Breakfast of champions.
Bulking up on carbs before robbing the Louve maybe? Need a lot of calories for that much running
i had a dude walk up to me and say “never just take unsolicited advice”
possibly the best advice i ever got. total mindfuck though
A group of us in NYC and dude rolled up with a rope and declared, “Never leave the house without some rope” and then went on his way.
Could’ve been a firefighter. They’ll tear your ass apart in the fire academy if you don’t have your rope on you, at all times. Now that I think about it, you wouldn’t believe the stuff I keep in my car at all times now.
BDSM enthusiast is another possibility. Never know when you’ll run into someone who wants to be tied up.
I NEED MY TOOLS!
They must have felt so vindicated by Boondock Saints.
Probably just another Big Rope stunt.
Thats fucking amazing.
That’s the IRL / performance art equivalent of “ceci n’est pas une pipe.”
I had forgotten about that painting. Lol thanks for reminding me, that’s a great comparison.
Uh, this is not a reminder to stare at art.
Please do not stare at art.
Art get very nervous when you stare at them.
Welp, that was unintentional, but… apparently our shadow person here… yep, meet Arthur everyone.
Don’t be shy.
… he would not like that, if you were shy…
EDIT: Wow, I thought this comment was in another thread.
… I’m leaving this here for additional absurdity.
EDIT 2:
I found Arthur
Lmao, love it.
Hi Arthur.
I thought I was was responding to an entirely different thread in an art comm.
The piece is titled “Happy Person Having A Pleasant Conversation In Public”, by Randy Ortiz.
… But now, he is Art, Arthur.
So do you follow his unsolicited advice of not following his advice? Or do you not follow it, by following it?
I watched a lady bring a small dead bird in a ziploc onto the Metro in Montreal and then proceed to pluck its feathers onto the floor.
and we aren’t talking about your game hen or a quail here or something. I’m lalking about a fucking sparrow or something like that.
What the fuck? Craziest thing I’ve seen in the montréal metro was like, a rat.
Tough life if you got to prep dinner on the metro.
Wile walking to the bus my dog picked up a dead bird off the ground and was just carrying it like the good little 'triever she was until I noticed and removed it.
