Whats the weirdest thing that ever happened to you?

Me and my mate Ben were trying to hitch a lift to a festival in the Scottish Highlands at 10.00pm along the road that follows Loch Ness (where monsters live).We saw no traffic for an hour.It was dark.Then,from nowhere came a pick up truck towing a boat.He stopped.We slung our rucksacks in the back and got in the cab.The driver was drinking whisky and only had one arm,long hair and a companion called 'Nan' who had a green Mohican.He put the whisky down and slammed down hard on the accelarator.Soon,a police car was tearing after us.Nan was screaming at one-arm to stop.He drove faster.The police drove round and headed us off the mountain pass,very nearly down the side of the cliff.They arrested him - he'd stolen the truck,and left us in the middle of nowhere with Nan.She had a lump of dope as big as a fist.We had two bottles of wine.We carried on walking,drinking and smoking till eventually we realised it would take us 3 days to get to the festival,by which time it would've finished.So we drunkenly set the tent up and the 3 of us got in.In the morning I stuck my head out of the tent and found I was looking down an 80 foot precipice.Lucky we didn't sleepwalk! A month later we saw the whole thing on TV - the car chase had been filmed by a helicopter! Thats pretty weird but bet you could beat it..?​

oh gosh.. just one thing?


maybe the time i was at my friends house and his roommate came in totally naked and asked for his bible..

that was pretty damn weird

 

Which was the weirdest part - him being naked,or asking for a bible?

 

him asking for the bible i guess.. we all knew he was a nudist.. but never had seen it for ourselves

 

I seen a small tornato twice when I was in the car. There's probobly weirder, but I can't think too much right now.

 

That story is pretty damn weird. I can't beat it but there was one occassion where my next door neighbour and I were sitting on his roof and drinking beer and I spotted two guys about my age standing right out the front of my house staring straight at it and just waiting, I didn't get a good look at them as it was dark but I called to them and asked them what they were doing and they said "nothing" so i said "well fuck off then" and they walked away. Then after we went back inside and I walked out to go home and I saw the same two guys standing just a few metres away from me. Both of them were japanese looking and one had a mask like sub-zero from mortal kombat. They were holding samurai swords. I froze and asked them why they had samurai swords and they replied "Stay there and you won't get hurt. Now, just go back inside and mind your own business" so I did and that was that and i never saw them again.

 

In the 70s, I caight a ride through the desert into California. I was thirsty, and the man offered me the tallest beer I had ever seen. Then he set me off in the middle of nowhere, beer in hand. I set down my bag and turned back to the highway ( took half a moment). The ride was gone, and in his place sat the Highway Patrol. He peered through dark glasses at the beer in my hand, then waggled his finger back and forth. I understood completely. I tossed the beer over my shoulder and the man drove away. I turned to see where the beer had landed. It had landed upright in thick vegetation, and I was able to finish the beer.

 

Is it illegal to drink beer in the desert then?
It was amazing it landed upright though - how many times would you have to try that before it happened.

Reminds me of a mate,called Simon - whose dad had come over from Holland to visit.Without telling Simon,his dad had sold a box of old junk from the back of his car to a second-hand shop before leaving back to Holland.Couple of months later Simon got a job doing light shows in rave clubs and bought an old projector with some reel to reel tapes.He was really stoned and couldn't believe his eyes when he played one of these reels on his 'new' projector - only to discover it was footage of himself at the age of 6 in the garden of his parent's house in Holland!!! Ha Ha - He thought the world had gone completely mad!

 

Ive never seen a tornado - that would be pretty amazing.Saw the northern lights though once - aurora borealis.Was quite amazed cos your'e not supposed to see then in Britain especially down south.

Lyinginafield - I wonder what they were up to? And why were they staring at your house? The only dealings I ever had with a samurai sword is the first night I ever got drunk and my mom was so angry I locked myself in my bedroom by sitting against the door.In a rage,my mom took a sword that was hanging on a wall for decoration and thrust it through the crack in the door,narrowly missing my ear.Wer'e best of friends now though.

 

Ha ha, that would have freaked me out if my mum did that!

And daniel herring, i thought littering was illegal, what a bent cop.

 

...

 

why hell, i'd sell my soul for movie tickets in a second!

this didnt happen to me, but my sister.
when she was like 2 or something, her, mum and dad ( i wasnt born yet) went to africa. and they were just touring around, and stopped at this place where this witch doctor lived. anyway, me and my sister have red hair, and when she was young it was like strawberry blonde, and the witch doctor thought it was, like, magic or something, and stole my sister. fortunatly they got her back, haha.
but like, a day later, they were having dinner in this place, and the chef came out and stole my sister and took her into the kitchen to show everyone. haha
i reckon that would have been creepy to be stolen by a witch doctor

 

Yeah I've heard other stories of those african witch doctors.Met a girl who was a white S.African farmer but locals believed there was gold buried on her farm from the Boar Wars,and a witch doctor claimed he could see ghosts of english soldiers guarding the gold.

Hey your'e 14 and play the guitar!! Nows the time to get your mates together and start a band!

 

haha yeah, except only one of my friends plays an instrument which is the drums, and she just started..and well, we tried playing together except...didnt quite work

 

Sitting on top of a mountain...in bad weather...with a thunderstorm going on below me....that just fucking blew my brain

 

Bet that was fantastic - where was the mountain? Last summer in B'ham,uk I was hammering a post into the ground - in some weird field when the 2nd biggest storm I've ever seen suddenly stopped right overhead.Its never bothered me before but a kid had been killed the day before in his garden,struck by lightning.I ran through a load of marshes and by lucky chance found a pub.

bet you had fun though - thats wot its all about.I was in a band at 14 and was a right laugh.Still got the tapes.Try somethin easy - thats the best bet.

 

RG Paddler, your posts are cool, sounds like you've had some adventures.

 

THAT REMINDS ME!!


was walking down the middle of the street with my sister-in-law and friend when all my hair suddenly stood on end. not even 2 seconds later lightening crashed close by, and all my hair went back down.

I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY LIGHTENING and didn't even know it until i was watching a nature program on TV some years later and it described the exact thing and said "if this happens you're about to be struck"
