Saw a homeless midget with hair as long as he was riding on the back of a Great Dane. He was legitimately patrolling traffic at a reasonably busy intersection for at least a week for no apparent reason. Maybe the actual thing that is weirder is how everybody seemed to follow suit as if it was normal protocol.

Saw a group of Spaniards on the subway in NYC who’d bought some m&m’s from a kid who was selling them and then they proceed to have a ball tossing them up into the air and catching them with their mouths. We arrive at their stop and they don’t realize it until the doors are about to close so they jump up and run to the door but one of them was just about to make a toss. He missed, it bounced off his face, fell to the floor, and rolled about ten feet away so on his way to the door, he quickly picked it up and popped it into his mouth and exited.
I then turned to the woman sitting next to me who’d been putting on her elaborate eye makeup for the whole ride and said “did you see that?” And right as she was saying “yeah, so gross” I noticed that the underside of her fingernails were so covered in black grime it looked like she might have been homeless.
Edit: I see people cutting their toenails often enough that I’m desensitized to it.
