What's the Weirdest Thing You've Ever Seen, Heard, or Read?

we were at a bar in Myrtle beach many a year ago and there was a jumper in the 2nd floor window and everybody outside and inside was chanting jump jump jump

I was at at party and keep seeing this red light running across a stump and it was making a zzzzzzzzzt sound and i wasn't able to get away from it :)

Way back when, I was working at a Kroger bagging groceries on a slow afternoon and a lady came through the checkout lane with a great big rubber tree plant in her cart. Nothing else to bag, so I pulled her cart through to the end of the checkout lane and just stood around waiting for something else to do.

While the lady was starting to write a check, these two happy stoner looking guys came walking along the end of the checkout lanes empty handed and headed for the exit. One of them glanced over, then veered toward me and the big rubber tree plant.

He walked right up, smiled at me and said, "Watch this," then took one of the big leaves in both hands and bit into it. Didn't bite any off, just bit into it and then looked at me again, smiled really big and turned and walked out the door.

I was as completely dumbfounded as I've ever been. I watched him walk out, then looked back at the lady who was still writing her check, completely oblivious, then looked at the plant. That one leaf had a crescent cut in it that was starting to ooze out some milky looking stuff. That's when I about lost it.

I tried really hard not to laugh out loud while the lady was still there and was reasonably successful at holding it in. She finished paying, gave me a disapproving look like she knew something wasn't right with me, grabbed hold of her cart and wheeled her bitten rubber tree plant out the door. I was then free to laugh myself to tears and pretty much kept laughing the rest of the day.

Still do get a good laugh out of it whenever I remember it, because I always wonder what would make a person, upon seeing a big rubber tree plant in any circumstance, take the notion to bite it, of all things. I'm pretty sure that in an entire lifetime, that would never once occur to me as something to do. But I sure am glad it occurred to that one guy.

Heard: a diverted space shuttle dropped a sonic boom across Florida in the middle of the night coming in for a landing. It basically shut down the 911 system.

The shuttle was probably the weirdest thing I heard as well. It was like someone shot a shotgun right by my face while I was sleeping.

what is more amazing is that you didn't tell the check writer :)

It was never an option. I could not have spoken without doubling over with howling laughter. I just needed her to leave before I wet myself.

And it's too bad because, besides being the right thing to do, telling her about it would have added another funny element to the story. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'm afraid one of our other patrons has bitten your plant. Would you like to exchange it?"

That's pretty weird! In some ways, it's worse because it was at home. Was it a one time occurrence? I'm sure you were just as glad as I was to have someone there to see it and give the same account as what you saw. In my case, the silence was what made it seem unreal. I think if it had made a noise, my dad and I would've both immediately said something about it.

Yes, it was a one time occurrence, and I'm sure it sounds much worse than it really was. Yours sounds far more disturbing.

I never saw it personally, but, when I was at UT, word was that one of the second floor male librarians in Hodges would do this.

That's either incredible confidence, especially considering that he was doing it in front of students who would be asking him for help out in the library two minutes later, or it is incredible cognitive disconnect from one and his surroundings.

Working in a grocery store back when I was in college. Manager sees a guy shooting up in the bathroom and calls the law. Cops show up find the guy and start to arrest him, guy breaks free and starts running around the grocery store. He heads for the door and another manager who is ex military is waiting to block him so he turns and runs down past our cash registers. The guy beside me who was the bag boy tries to push a cart into his path. Misses him and completely takes out one of the cops, I lost it at this point. Other cop shoots him with a taser but he's high on meth and only one of the needles stick into him so he just keeps running. He gets to the other door but they are automatic and didn't open fast enough and he just plows into them. Then the cops proceeded to beat the crap out of him. Funniest thing I've ever seen.

Yikes.

My dad told of a story where they showed up to an attempted suicide which had failed. The guy put a shotgun to his chin in an attempt to kill himself but he must have had the angle all wrong. Blew his jaw, mouth, and nose clean off. Said his tongue was hanging about halfway down his chest because there was nothing to hold it up. He said the guy breathing sounded like somebody sitting there gurgling water and gasping for air.

Also, his wife/girlfriend had turned the light off in the room before they got there because "she couldn't stand to look at him like that"

Crazy, he's got some weird stories like that.

I have to take my wife to Emory a couple times a year. Last year while there, I had went to the bathroom to blow my nose. I was in the stall and heard someone come in real fast, then heard the "explosion ", followed by a cussing rant. When I came out this guy was standing there with his pants and drawers to the ground, and filled with, well you know. It was a weird moment. I felt bad for him.

Craziest things I have done: I am a heavy dreamer, and almost always remember my dreams a couple hours after waking up, and I dream every night. But starting around 5th grade I started having dreams about real life future events. They are always a little different, and very much "realer" and always have some weird thing that triggers then when the time comes. I have started righting them down and so far 12 have true. some from years ago others recently. For instance, I "saw" that I was at work looking at my computer screens (the ones I am looking at now) and seeing across to a coworker. I see a red box on my right screen upper corner and then afterward my boss walks from my left to right and says "You are never going to believe this". I "saw" this back in high school, 9 years before I ever worked at this firm or had been to the office, or met any of these people. The more scenes I come across in real life the faster I am able to recall what is going to happen (5-10 secs of time at most). In the scene above when it happened I recalled the future before it happened when I saw the red box. I had enough time to say to my coworker "You are never going to believe this." and pointed towards my boss starting his walk, and he then says that exact phrase.

its never anything of any consequence, and I have had people say its just deja vu, which is why I write them down, date them. as I said about 12 of them have happened and i have another 50 or so waiting. but even reading the scenes I can't visualize it (I am a very visual person) until after they happen again. a few times it freaks me out, but for most its just another day in the life of LouderVol.

weirdest thing I have heard was a splash while I was swimming in a relatively small pond I could see the whole thing of. the splash happened behind me, and when I turned to see what it was there was nothing. no ripples, no movement, nothing. and this was a large, human sized splash. no other bodies of water around.

I saw a guy shoot up a half gram of meth, and then he went to his car to change because he **** his pants. And there was another guy carrying a tractor tire all over the place and his eyes looked like they were spinning around. Strange things happen at the dope man's place..

Weirdest thing Ive ever heard is generally just that phenomenon where songs sound different when you're half asleep half awake. I can't remember which song it was, but once, the song I was hearing was so much better than the actual song it blew my mind.

Almost everything I read is weird, so I dunno.

I have a feeling that you and I could take this thread to a very strange place.
