I’ve probably seen weirder, but this one was pretty funny:
I rode my bike along a huge river in a big city in Germany. It was already dark and my light was broken. In front of me I saw something blinking brightly coming at me. As it came closer I realized it was a guy on a bike that had lots of lights and reflectors attached to both the bike and the guy. He wore a light on his helmet, on his arms and his thigh. As he passed by me he looked at me super grumpy and said:
“How about some light?!”

I’m from the Detroit area and spend a lot of time in the city. In the late 90s and early 2000’s, I seen’t some shit.

-Guy in a wheelchair with no legs having sex with a prostitute in the street. -A guy pulled a tooth out of his mouth and threw it at my car. -I saw a guy get shot in the stomach at a gas station over some sort of argument, -Countless people pooping in public. -A guy dressed up as a power ranger walking the streets. -A really fat guy slip on ice and his pants fell down and his entire giant ass crack was exposed. -A guy who lived in a school bus who had a pet goat. He was called goat boy. The goat was stolen and murdered.

The CEO of a medical insurance company got assassinated. The weirdest thing about it? I didn’t see shit.

Probably not the weirdest but it’s one I never understood: there was this guy who parked on the side of a path in the field, had his window open (during winter), sat in the car and watched Instagram reels of women (maybe only one specific I don’t know) and he connected his phone to the car speakers so he could turn the volume up to 11 for everyone passing by to hear. Ok, whatever, I thought. But he kept turning up almost every day and did the same thing. Sometimes he stood outside his car and leaned on the roof with his phone. At some point he even got a large tripod for his phone so he didn’t need to hold it anymore and just stood there, watching it for hours. I used to walk past him many times with my dog so I had a good feeling of how often and how long he was there.

I still wonder what his obsession was with these Insta reels and why he needed to blast it into everyone’s ears in the cold instead of watching this stuff at home. The guy clearly had mental issues which is sad of course. I’m not the type to just ask a stranger what he’s doing so I never found out.

Heading to work one morning in the car after a heavy snowfall. I started at 9 so it was a bright sunny morning. Before hitting the main road I see a woman in the distance on the side of the road wearing a long blue dress. As I get closer I see her not even wearing a jacket, holding her dress up awkwardly out of the snow and taking huge steps through the foot deep snow. It was Emilia Clark (or someone who looked exactly like her) in her full ass Daenerys blue dress trudging through snow running for a bus stop and laughing her ass off at people like me gawking at her.

It was probably a year or two before they filmed the last season and I’m certain they didn’t film it here (they do film a lot of other series here though), so I’m assuming they were doing photoshoots nearby and she had car trouble due to the snow.

Walking on Dartmoor one cold, gray and rainy winter’s morning.

A young man in a sodden T-shirt and shorts emerged out of the mist on the same moorland path I was on. He was carrying a tesco carrier bag with a ram’s skull sticking out and what looked to be the spine stuffed into it.

Sheep die out there all the time so it was probably a chance find - but walking in what were difficult conditions so poorly dressed, but with a carrier bag…? I still wonder what he was going to do with his prize.

Oh, and that time when I drove around a corner to find five pirates pushing a horse and carriage up a hill. (It was a themed wedding and the horse was slipping on the way to the reception so the followers got out of their cars and helped push - but it earned a second glance)

Just by random chance, I saw a Toynbee tile in the street in St. Louis. I’d heard about the mystery on the Internet, and was quite excited to see one in person.

Oh, I also saw Thong Cape Scooter Man several times.

I once saw a car make a slow left turn, and both its right-side hubcaps kept going straight.

On a late night train ride a man sat down and was looking at himself in the reflection of the glass. He just says “You judging me?” The three of us just fucking glued ourselves to our phones. It’s a fun story now because it was so bizarre, but it was very worrying at the time. In the moment I think we weren’t certain if he was talking to us or not.

Junkie sleeping on a street on his face and chest, legs hanging over him in an arc having his shoe heals next to his ears.

In 2008 at about 22:30 waiting for some people after a meal in a deserted South African shopping centre, a man on a Segway rounds the corner towards me then disappears in to the distance.

I saw a man walking down the street walking a parrot on a leash. I guess he didn’t want it flying away.

Walking through a cemetry at night, with 8 friends.

A tree ahead starts violently shaking its top branch then stops.

We all continue walking past the tree, which is around 6m high. All examine the top of it to see no person or animal up there.

Agree it was weird.

It was shaking too much to be a cat or bird. No wind at the time.

A dude sun bathing naked in a public park. I live in ABQ if you know you know.

During lockdown I was jogging my usual route and passed someone walking in full plague doctor getup. Thinking “that’s kinda odd” I turned the corner and almost ran into a lady rollerskating backward entirely in the nude. I live in Florida and see weird shit somewhat frequently but that particular run stands out in my mind.
