Most of the memories that stick with us are of pivotal moments in our lives, perhaps getting that job that kickstarted your career or the day you met your soulmate. However, memories are a fickle thing and some people have the unfortunate experience of meeting a stranger so horrible that they still carry the story with them.
An internet user, out of morbid curiosity no doubt, wanted to hear other’s worst experiences with total strangers. And people delivered, with stories ranging from bizarre to downright terrifying. So be warned, some potential unpleasantness ahead. If you do stay, be sure to upvote your favorite (however you choose to interpret that) and share your own stories in the comments.

Put "something" in both my gf and my drinks. Probably GHB.
Something kicked in and I managed to get us home. Don't remember how.
We are actually lucky to still be alive after that. Put me off concerts for a long time.
Was even weirder that it happened at a metal gig.

I was walking home pretty late one night and noticed one of my new neighbors walking up towards me from the opposite end of the street. As we were passing each other I said a friendly hello- in response this grown man silently turned his a*s towards me and let out the most repulsive, bombastic fart I’ve ever heard. I was too shocked to speak, to move, to defend myself. He didn’t even say anything, just calmly walked into his house afterwards. As far as I’m aware he still lives there, and I’ve never gotten an explanation lmao

Got a phone call from my wife’s number, it was a random dude telling me my wife ran a red light and got t-boned. Kept saying “yeah she really f****d up man.”
It was the guy that t-boned her. He ran the red light. He was inebriated. I rushed over to the address he gave me, cops and ambulance and everything. They let the guy drive off in his smashed up truck. No insurance. F*****g prick.

Pulled her pants halfway down her butt and asked me to check the size on her underwear.
I hated being a cashier.

Stopped at a red light one time. Someone from a building adjacent to the light threw a bag of ice and water on my car, from a few stories up. Dented the roof and shattered the windshield.
Wasn't even a nice car, I was driving a Dodge neon shitbox

I was walking in a mall with my sister and this really huge guy walked past me and as he walked past he basically groped me down there. I'm a female for reference. I asked wtf really loudly and looked back and he just kept walking on and didn't look back. I wasn't sure what to make of that situation.

First day of senior year I held the door open for someone. As he walks in he goes, “thanks. Your hair’s gay btw” and I’ve never forgotten that.

Walking home from school when I was a kid.
Two boys I never met before were behind me and threw a rock straight into the middle of my back for no reason. All I remember is them laughing about it and approaching me telling to try something so they could beat me and impress the girl who was with them.
The other thing was being randomly shot.
I'm not sure which is worse but those aren't the worst things to ever happen to me, just the worst things done by strangers.

Tapped me on the shoulder in a club and when I turned around, he headbutted me with all his might. Before I could even process what had happened, two bouncers had a hold of him, dragging him outside.
I was just stood there, dazed and confused with my nose pissing blood everywhere - then I was lead into a room by one of the bouncers and given tissues to stop my nose bleeding. He said to me that the guy had struck one of their guys on the way out and the police were going to arrest him if I wanted to talk to them. Automatically said no, not wanting to be a grass (snitch).
I never left my feet and my nose wasn't broken, so it wasn't really *that* big a deal - but it lives rent free in my head because I don't know who it was or why he did it.
I seen his face momentarily and didn't recognise him, and as such wouldn't be able to pick him out a crowd now. I wasn't dancing with any girls as I was already with my now Fiancé and very happy, so I didn't make moves on his girlfriend or love interest. Me and my friends keep ourselves to ourselves and aren't involved in any beefs or anything. I wasn't stumbling drunk, so couldn't have barged into him or spilled his drink or anything.
My best theory is mistaken identity. I look like my Brother and he and his crowd are a bit more nefarious. Either that or he just thought I was someone else completely.
Why did you headbutt me Mr Stranger!?

Stole a piece of chicken from my plate as I was eating at the counter of a restaurant in NYC. Seems funny now 😃
