That happened 55 years ago, and it still boggles my mind."
WhenBuzzFeed Communitymembers started sharing theinexplicably strange momentsthey’ve witnessed or experienced, I was truly invested.
How could I not be startled by that?!"
“My most unexplainable story takes place in a theater bathroom.
Curious, I went over to the next stall to investigate.
Lo and behold, completely shattered on the floor was a glass jar with salsa oozing out.

I had no idea what was happening.”
“When I was younger, I used to bartend in Philadelphia.
One evening, a tall and unkempt gentleman wearing a long overcoat walked into the bar.
He looked at me, reached inside his coat pocket, and produced a business card.
He handed it to me in a very James Bond way and said, ‘My card.’
He then turned and walked out of the bar, never to be seen again.”

“One day, I was chilling on my porch reading.
All of a sudden, I heard all sorts of commotion.
Turns out, two squirrels were fighting with two magpies over a slice of pizza.”
“It was a few days before Christmas, and I was working in a suburban hospital.
When I went to get on the elevator, there was a woman dressed like an elf.
People get dressed up for Christmas all the time.
I told my coworkers, ‘You’ve GOT to come see this!’
But we looked around and couldn’t find the elf woman anymore.
We even asked around, and nobody had seen her.
It was so strange.”

“One day, my husband and I were walking on the path near our home.
Then this guy wearing nothing but tiny shorts quickly walked past us.
About half a mile down the path, we spotted the same guy standing on a bridge.
Suddenly, he lifted this huge ram horn and started blowing into it.
He kept it up for about five minutes, turned around, and walked back toward us.
As he passed, he just casually nodded at us and continued on his merry way.”
“I was riding the subway in London one day when a woman got on.
It was so odd.”

I squinted and saw that the chipmunk was wearing a pair of tiny, baggy red shorts.
We stared at each other for a long minute before it ran off into the woods.
I tried telling people about this encounter, but after seeing their reactions, I quit talking about it.
That happened 55 years ago, and it still boggles my mind."
“I was skateboarding in Lincoln Park in Chicago on a nice, sunny Saturday afternoon.
The parakeet seriously looked as if it just had parakeet errands to do.

We heard them walk up the stairs.
When the song ended, we heard a big burst of laughter.
Then the group came back downstairs and left the apartment building.
“I used to go to school in this wealthy residential neighborhood in LA.
Said pet happened to be a pig it had a leash and everything.

“I was working at Target when a woman approached me asking for vitamin E oil.
It’s for my hand, see?'
I could see the bone and everything.
“I’m an American woman who taught English in Japan for three years.
I was alone until a man came in.
He put his clothes in the washing machine and left wearing only his underpants.
I sat there bemused, wondering what on earth was happening.”

My mom was inside, but I wanted to stay and read in the car.
It was a beautiful sunny day with a cloudless sky.
For context, we lived in Southern California, so the weather was fairly predictable.
I’d been reading for quite a while until I heard water plopping on the windshield.
Sure enough, despite a perfectly blue sky, it was raining.
I was perplexed and looked around at the other cars, but they weren’t getting wet.
I got out of the car to investigate, thinking there was a sprinkler somewhere nearby.
It looked as if I was in a cartoon!
The car was wet, though!”
“One day, I was driving to work for a night shift.
Mind you, this was all happening right in front of me; I was frozen in shock.
The van parked in the middle of the street, and the driver got out.
I laughed my way to work that night.
“I was stopped at a red light at a very busy intersection.
I then saw a man riding a unicycle across the street in front of me.
He used one hand to push a baby stroller and another to talk on his cellphone.
Talk about multitasking.”
Why, you ask?
Because there, in the middle of the road, were two dogs ‘doing it.’

It was sprinkling rain.
She wasn’t peeing or doing anything lewd, either.
She literally leaned on the car and let the rain splash onto her naked bum for a few minutes.
Once she had her fill, she pulled her pants back up and got in the car.
To this day, I have no idea what she was doing.”

I’m fairly certain it was already dead, though.
I ‘watched’ the mouse for a few minutes until the lady finally came back for it and left.
Disney’sFantasiawas playing in the theater, so we decided to watch it.
My husband nearly swallowed the joint because he didn’t know what to do!
It turns out it was an orca being transported to SeaWorld!
We could not believe what we were seeing.
Over forty-four years later, we still laugh when we recall the story.
That was the last time we ever smoked a joint.”
