Their answers covered everything from slipping on a banana peel to watching a person walk their pet pig on a leash, and so much more, so we put them on this list for you to enjoy.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Sat down on the tube and this bloke takes one look at me, whips out an HB and a sketchpad and starts scribbling away, glancing in my direction every few seconds. Whenever I look over he angles it away from me and avoids eye contact. Every time I look away again he's back on the sketchpad.

At Camden Town he stands up and gets off the train. By now I'm just staring at him. He steps onto the platform, turns around so that he's looking square into my eyes with this look of absolute seriousness. Just as the doors are about to close, without breaking eye contact, he raises the sketchpad. It's me, stark naked, under a palm tree, with an absolutely massive c**k.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Down in England for a friend's wedding, all the big hotels were super expensive so I booked into a b&b. From around dawn, I could hear a quiet voice outside cycling repeatedly through every swear word in the dictionary. I spent the next few hours in and out of sleep trying to make sense of it, when I got packed up and ready to leave I noticed an apiary. Inside was a parrot who looked me straight in the eye and said 'you f*****g bastard'. Mystery solved!

I love those birds! My very proper great aunt had 2 talking birds and they always swore, which made my mother blush and my father laugh - it was his aunt and he was used to the birds.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I saw a pelican scoop up a chihuahua in Australia and swallow it. The lead was handing out of it's mouth, whilst a little old , very Australian lady tried to beat it with her purse.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I legit slipped on banana peel.

When my kid was around 1yo, we went to my parents house. My wife and mom were giving him banana. Peel was on table and he was waving his arms when he saw me and somehow he threw banana peel on ground from table. I didn't saw it. I was walking past the table to get into kitchen and slipped on the peel. I fell down exactly how it happens in cartoons.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Was in Asda doing some shopping when some lad dressed as a clown zooms past riding one of them tiny little motorbikes, being chased by about 10 members of staff. He tries to go around a corner and down an aisle but because he’s absolutely caning it, he skids and crashes into a shelf. Then he gets up and runs out, leaving the bike behind. What was nearly as surreal was that most of the other shoppers didn’t even seem to notice or care what had happened, people were just stepping through the wreckage casually taking items off the shelf.

Another time I was on a pub crawl, about 7 or 8 pubs in we get to a really rough pub. Bloke comes in wearing a pirate hat with a parrot on his shoulder and orders a drink as the parrot repeatedly shouts ‘c**t’. Nobody says anything. Must be a regular because nobody even batted an eyelid. Bought my drink, went into the beer garden, spot my mates at a table and there’s a Shetland pony stood next to them.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I think it was during lockdown, I was feeling rather glum about the whole thing, when suddenly some bloke on a bicycle with about 20 mirrors on it rode past my window with the theme tune from Airwolf cranking out of a speaker and I just died laughing.

He came past every day after that, then just as quickly as he appeared, when lockdown ended I never saw him again.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Cycling along last week, I saw a vicar park his car, get out and trip over the kerb, falling flat onto his face into the grass verge. He didn't put his arms out, or even register that he was falling, just smoothly transition himself from vertical to horizontal in a perfect arc. It was hilarious.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted During COVID lockdown in the UK, you were only allowed to go out for a short amount of exercise per day to try and curb the infection rates. That is, unless you had a pet that needed walking, in which case you were allowed more time out of your house.

This lead to some interesting interpretations of the word 'pet', and in my town there was a dude who used to walk a fully grown pig. With a collar and a lead.

To be fair, a pig can be a nice house pet and it does need walkies. However, regarding the lockdown the funniest pet I saw being walked was a ball python.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I once saw a dude trying to carry a comically big piece of mdf into the church he was fixing up. I don't know why he thought he could carry it on his own. He was staggering about and trying not to fall over or drop the board. He finally managed to get through the gate and his trousers fell down. It was like a scene from a cheesy '70s sitcom or something.

My partner and I got a lil fluffy Pomeranian in lockdown, and she had an uncanny ability to find bread when we took her for a walk.

One week she’s finding a full slice of bread every time we take her out, she’s tiny so a slice of bread is massive compared to her body. And every time we have to yank it from her mouth and carry on.

On the last day of the week she’s found her slice of bread as usual, so we snatch it from her and turn back around, then turn to look at her a few seconds later and she has a tortilla in her mouth.

"Excuse me, can you tell me about your parrot?"

Parrot man just looked at him and said,

"What parrot?" And then walked off.

Us and the bloke just stared at each other, all making sure we'd just witnessed the same thing.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I came across a guy who was unconscious on the pavement at 2am. While I was poking him a man comes along with a bottle of wine in his hand. Looked like a young professional. He just asks in the calmest voice "Is he dead?". I said no, he said "that's a shame". I was like "do you know him?" and he said "no". So I asked him why he wanted him dead and he responded in the same calm voice "because it would be interesting".

Then he started saying "let's rob him". I was like wtf no and he insisted saying "there's no cameras", I'll split the money 50:50 with you. Honestly felt like I was in an episode of Peep Show.

The conclusion of the story is that he claimed it was the wine talking (didn't fully believe him but ok) but to his credit he did wait for an ambulance with me.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted In a similar vain, I can remember visiting a small, and rather dull village with my family. For whatever reason, I chose to sit outside a shop while the rest of my family went in. As I was sitting around I watched a Batmobile speed through this rural town followed by two police cars. I had a hard time convincing them it ever happened.

He was driven to the crem on the back of a pick up truck, people in the street couldn't believe (neither could I). One woman was staring so much while still walking she walked straight into a lamp post. We couldn't contain our laughter in the cars.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted At the end of October 2000 there was torrential rain and floods. Driving slowly through Purley I saw a woman at a slightly lower level than the road pushing a buggy through floodwaters that were so deep the child in the buggy only just had his/her head and upper chest above the water. Neither seemed perturbed by this; they were just nonchalantly gliding along as if it was a summer stroll, creating a small wake in the water behind them.

I love Americans, but they are some of the weirdest people in the world. My dad worked for an American company, so we used to go over to the US a lot for these 'corporate getaways.' One time, we were at a restaurant eating dinner, and a father and son just came and sat down with us. Just joined us at our table like we were best friends. The son was maybe six or eight. I was confused, so I said something like, 'Can I help you?' The dad then said, 'Yeah, my son wanted to sit with the Europeans for dinner!' It was so strange, but I wasn't even mad, because the dad had balls as big as melons to just brazenly join a random family for a meal to make his son happy.

One summer at a music festival I was sitting with a group of friends, all laughing and having a good time. Rather animatedly my friend stands up to add emphasis to his story and gets hit on the head by a low flying toy drone. This knocks his stride for story telling off and as we all fall about laughing at the moment a dog does a wee on his trouser leg.

I still laugh to myself randomly when I remember that day. All too funny.

A man walked past my shop, placed his backpack down on the window ledge and threw up into it. Right into the bag. Zipped it up, put it back on his shoulder and walked off.

He did this three times that I saw, my colleagues saw him doing it a couple of times too.

Late at night on the streets of Norwich there was some domestic argument happening with a drunk couple and a young police officer trying to calm the wife down, the husband was across the street with I presume his mates.

The husband suddenly screams and comes running across to the wife only for the tiny copper to spin round and put him on his a**e in two seconds flat by wrapping her arm around his head and spinning him to the ground, the wife decided to stick a cheeky boot in his stomach for good measure whilst shouting “you d******d”, the wife and the police officer (both women) keep talking while the crippled husband gets dragged off by her colleagues.

I was eating Donna meat with chips and witnessed the whole thing, hilarious what you see outside of the clubs late at night, can’t say I miss it much.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Came across a totally naked man dancing cheerfully up the middle of a tiny residential street in a nice area at about 4pm one weekday afternoon. That was a bit strange!

As far as totally surreal goes, I once went to the local leisure centre, for a nice dip in the swimming pool. A woman I'd never seen before decided to stop next to me and tell me her boyfriend licked her shingles, and before I could decide if that was some kind of new euphemism, whipped half her swimming cozzy off and showed me the rash.

I was just like... WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F**K???

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted Many years ago I used to work night shifts at a data center in a town in Nottinghamshire, it faces a medium sized car park surrounded by houses.

It's Wednesday in August and about 4 ish in the morning and out of the office window I see loads of car lights come around the corner and a group of largish SUV type cars roll round I immediately think have I missed an appointment in the calendar as its not totally out of the ordinary to have customers come fit large amounts of kit at stupid hours.

However these 4 big cars pull into the car park opposite and some lads get out and pop the boots open and start hooking wires up between the cars. color me intrigued at the point so I sit and watch as it looks like they are connecting some AV kit together speakers and amps etc, this takes a couple minutes then boom!

Music starts there are disco lights I s**t you not and suddenly there is a mini rave with 20 ish people dancing away, all the surrounding house lights start coming on and curtains start twitching understandable as its a Wednesday at 4am, as suddenly as it starts it ends they switch everything off yank the cables and jump in and drive off.

I just sort of sat there for a bit and then went to make a strong as f**k coffee and splash cold water in my face to make sure I hadn't dreamt it.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I once had a man come up to me looking all menacing with a small group of other menacing men behind him and say to me "Ya seen ma bird?" I had just arrived into the pub and had three pints in my hand. I replied "no, sorry" to which he pulled a dead bird out of his pocket and said "well ye have noo" and he and his mates were there pissing themselves laughing whilst I felt like a right twat thinking I was about to get my head kicked in.

Another time I was walking to work and a topless woman ran outside of (what I assume was her house) threw a man's shoe full of what I think was talcum powder at a passing work van and ran back in.

Pre-covid, I worked in the busiest part of CBD. I went out for a coffee, and as I was waiting at the intersection, a man on rollerskates suddenly appears in front of a huge line of cars. He proceeds to gracefully attempt what looked like an ice skating routine, backwards, whilst holding up 4 lanes of traffic.

A married couple joined a society I'm in, came along to a few events then vanished. A few months later they were back and the husband seemed to have this renewed interest in the club and hobby. I was completely oblivious to the whole situation so asked him "hey Adam, how's that project going?" Welp... it wasn't Adam. His wife had left Adam after a DV incident and started seeing his IDENTICAL TWIN BROTHER and brought him along to the club instead. No joke, it all got a bit Coronation Street.

Also there was the time I was driving into a housing estate and just over the rooves of the houses in front of me I saw a load of vans go wizzing past at high speed, backwards. Freight train going past on an embankment.

I'm from near Leeds and now live in Hamburg. We have regular May Day riots here, especially in the socialist part of town where I used to live, and when they kicked off one year (molotov cocktail flew right over my head!) we decided to move away to a bar we knew away from the action. It was a bit much for a friend who was visiting and she was a little tearful. While we were sitting outside with our beers and she started to feel a bit calmer, a gaggle of riot police in their Ninja Turtle gear came jogging past towards the scene. She said "Hallo" to them and one of them stopped, waved at her and smiled and said "Hallo! Viel Spaß in Hamburg!" (Have fun in Hamburg!) - he must have overheard us speaking English so knew she was an out-of-towner. She said she felt calmer after that. We also got locked in until the water cannons had moved on at about 2 a.m.

35 People Share The Most Bizarre Situations They've Witnessed That Felt Like They Were Scripted I was once in a Starbucks, early 2000s, sitting by the front window, enjoying my drink while reading and people-watching.

After some time, it having been a quiet afternoon, my attention was suddenly drawn to a peculiar-looking figure coming down the street.

As he approached, his face looked oddly disfigured, and he was wearing a very unusual 80s-style red leather outfit.

I was utterly shocked when he went by fully, and I saw he was wearing a*s-less chaps.

I chalked it up to one of those days and thought no more about it.

Maybe a year goes by, and I’m watching channel four, back when it was cool. It’s a tv show I’ve never seen, and lo and behold, I recognise the location. Then I remember that day, the guy, the face, the rear end.

It was Bo Selecta, specifically a Michael Jackson bit.

Suddenly it all made sense.

I was out walking with my parents on a Sunday night through our town centre after being out for something to eat.

Flock of geese were flying overhead, one of them somehow flew into a lamppost at top speed and went plummeting down to the ground.

We all looked at eachother and went to see what state the goose was at.

It was pretty sad seeing how injured it was, it survived for a minute (looked like it's neck was broken and was paralyzed) before it died, the lamppost was rattling away for ages. My dad turnt and said 'Anyone know a good butcher?'

We had no idea what to do so he picked it up and used a local help button on a information board. Ended up leaving it underneath for someone to come and collect

Dad jokes aren't ever great with their timing, but this one hits hard. Not as hard as a goose, but still hard
