62 People Share The Absolute Weirdest Things They’ve Caught A Stranger Doing In Public

A guy on the subway once took a handful of loose nuts out of his pocket and offered me some...I declined.

One time I was at Wal-Mart and this is by far the strangest thing I’ve seen at one.

I’m behind a lady at the check out. The last item was one zucchini but with a big bite taken out of it.

Cashier: Did you....bite this zucchini?

Stranger: (with a serious look on her face) No

Cashier: .....well do you still want it?

Stranger: Yeah just put it in the bag!

From where I was, I could still see the glimmer of saliva from the bite. But even if she was telling the truth, why the hell would you buy a zucchini someone else bit into?!

I still think about it today.

Edit: I can’t believe my most upvoted comment is about a bitten zucchini. Anyways, thanks Reddit for all your possible gonad related theories on why this lady did what she did. I wouldn’t expect less.

Close tie between seeing a group of Europeans on top of a small mountain in an old castle in CT taking family photos holding a watermelon like a child, and seeing an older Asian man touch tongues with his 5/6 year old daughter. The world is a strange place.

I was at college once and me and another student were sitting in the lunch area outside and this trench coat weirdo with a huge milspec backpack walked into the middle on his own, opened up a fresh bottle of diet coke and then just necked it in one, without burping. He then repeated this with another bottle, got up and left. I haven't been the same since.

All the asian people who snack on whole heads of lettuce they somehow sneak into disney? Its happened more than once and always asian tourists else i would think it was one weird group but its happened multiple times...

Saw a guy in NY with a perfectly good yankee hat on, go into lids and buy the same exact hat. He then put the new one on and just threw away the one he was wearing. Might’ve been the most New York thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

I was once at a hotel in Greece. At the breakfast buffet one morning, I saw an incredibly overweight man enter, go to the continental section and take 12 bread rolls, 12 slices of ham and 12 slices of cheese.

He went and sat at a table, took a knife, and started cutting each roll open and buttering them. Then, one by one, he took a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, folded them up, and placed them inside the rolls. Each roll would then be wrapped up in a napkin and placed inside his bag.

Once he was finished, he went and got his breakfast.

I came back from a library all nighter at uni, to find my neighbour in her pj's starting a bbq at 6am. She then proceeded to cook about 20 sausages.
Was that odd I sort of stood blankly watching her do it, whilst wondering if I was sleep deprived tripping or if this was actually real.
Took a photo and went to sleep, was still equally bizarre once I had slept.

Theirs a guy in my town that goes swimming and walks home in flip flops and trunks. Which is alright in the summer but I’ve seen him in straight up blizzards before.

This man came downstairs from his apartment over a shop with a box of macaroni and cheese. He then put the mac and cheese on top of a parking meter and proceded to dance with it. After he was done his dance, he kind of bowed to it and went back upstairs leaving it on the meter. An offering to the gods?

I worked at a radio station & was doing a remote at a car dealership. A woman walked up to us wearing a shirt, an apron type skirt (no back) and men’s boots...and nothing else. She had spray paint all around her mouth and kept asking to buy the ‘special car’. It freaked me out.

Someone going through TSA security with two roombas and nothing else. One Roomba per bin of course.

I saw a girl typing on her phone using her nose.

A woman dual wielding two gallons of milk in a public library. She was actively drinking from one at the time I saw this and it bewildered me.

Used to work in Camden, there's a local lady who will walk down the high street with her plastic stool, and set it up in the middle of the pavement; sit on it and knit. She wears all her own knitted clothing, and if she catches anyone's eye that walks past she'll shout at them.

Saw someone watering the tree in their front lawn with a watering can at midnight. There was a massive storm about 20 minutes later.

You could see it coming while he was watering the tree.

My office has huge windows out to the public patio and we are on the first floor. It's a mirrored finish on the outside and for some reason people think nobody can see them. I once saw a lady on the phone walking around admiring the planter bed, then she puts her purse down on the planter, looks around and picks up a large river rock and put it in her purse and walk away.

A man sat on my front door step about a year ago and was banging his head against the door whilst scratching at the wood with his nails. I had no idea who he was or why he chose my door to have an episode at. He moaned occasionally. He stayed there for about two hours. I was understandably a little unnerved by his behaviour.

Then he got up and wandered off. Never saw him again.

Was walking up Buchanan Street in Glasgow and I walked by this guy who was walking as slow as a snail, like almost slow motion. Might have been for an arty thing but it was pretty weird in a fast busy crowd.

A guy in a bar asked if I wanted an oyster, I said yes.

He then reached down to a backpack that was full of oysters on ice, shucked a few, pulled out hot sauce from a side pocket. We tapped our shells together and ate some oysters.
