Was taking a final exam in college which counted for most of our grade. About halfway through the time, disheveled man in a tatty suit comes in, stands at the podium, and proceeds to give a rambling speech for about 5 minutes. Nothing to do with the class just ramblings about how messed up our society was. Then without another word he leaves. Little hard to concentrate on the exam after that but I did OK.

The one that scarred me for life was seeing a man at the top of some outdoor stairs blow his nose into his hand, try to shake off said hand and then proceed to hold the railing all the way down those stairs. To this day, I can't hold any stair railings in a public place.

On March 17th 2015 I saw a man painted green from head to toe streaking naked in Key West carrying a blow up doll.

Saw a teen boy beat up his mother because she talked to another man. People just watched, like it was his right to dicipline her.

I once walked into the production of an amateur adult video on a train during one night. The carriage was empty, except for the 4 actors and the camera guy, but still very risky.

There is a guy who wears a kool-aid man costume and stands on the corner of the street to yell at traffic about aliens. I see him almost everyday on my drive home. Apparently he's housed, gainfully employed, and this is just his "hobby".

Growing up in the southern U.S., I was always amazed by "street preachers" telling everyone in a loud voice they were going to hell.

Not my personal experience, but a friend's. They were in Washington DC, I think they said they were waiting for a bus, when they saw some dude in an Elmo costume yelling at strangers on the sidewalk. Wish I could've seen it lol

excreting in public is very common in Africa, I have seen it dozens of times. More odd things I've seen in public: (a) people going at it in a club. (b) people with mental illnesses pushing trolleys and talking to themselves. (c). A performance artist rinsing his a*s out with a hose and then drinking the water (Steven Cohen).

I saw two things that made me wonder about people.
1: When I was walking with my brother late at night one day, a random group of women drove down the street closest to us, and rolled down a window. One of them, clearly intoxicated, yells "You guys want a waffle!?", and she proceeds to throw an Eggo waffle at my brother.
2: My mom and I were driving home after groceries, and we saw this guy run up to a guy a potted tree. My mom says "Either a drug deal, or an assault is going to happen." Sure enough, the guy who ran up threw three punches at the guy holding the tree, and ran away.

In high school AP English, a girl was crocheting before class. She stuck her crochet hook up her nose, pulled it out, and slurped it like a lollipop.

Saw a guy pee on the driver door of a Subaru wagon, then stand up on the front bumper of the wagon, squat, and drop a deuce on the hood. This was about 2pm in the afternoon in a busy city. The guy looked perfectly normal otherwise, and once he finished he just walked away as if nothing had happened. Had to have been revenge of some kind.
Just wanted to add yet another poop story to the others. If I could post pics I'd put some of the non-poop things I've seen on Fremont St. in Vegas.

The weirdest thing I've ever seen was walking into a public bathroom and seeing a guy just sitting on the sink eating a plastic bag of boiled eggs like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Back in 2017, we took our car to get new tires. While we were in the little waiting room, one of the mechanics came out a side door kitted out in what looked to be some kind of makeshift HASMAT suit with long rubber gloves, a big bucket, etc. and they went into the men's single stall bathroom.
I thought it was just cleaning time, but awhile later, one of the men waiting with us was called up to pay because his car was ready. The HASMAT guy immediately came over to thoroughly wash down the chair that guy had been sitting in.
Turns out, the guy waiting had totally DESTROYED the men's bathroom. S**t was everywhere - on the toilet, the floor, the walls, all over the sink with his abandoned s****y underwear in the basin, etc.
