Do you know the difference between good sitcoms and second-rate ones? Due to the fact that there is not always enough money for screenwriters, not-so-original scenarios and jokes are often used in the second kind of shows. As a result, we understand that this or that plot twist is completely unnatural, and of course, this never happens in real life.
We honestly don't know who writes the scripts for our lives, but it seems that this guy also sometimes uses hackneyed plot moves. We can all agree, each of us has had some moments in our lives when things happened that no one would have believed if told.
There is a recent popular thread in the AskReddit community whose topic starter asked the question: "What's a funny memory you have that if you told someone, they'd think you're lying?" The result was almost 33K upvotes and nearly 10.7K different comments, which prove that our life is sometimes very much like a sitcom.
Bored Panda made a list of some of the most amusing, incredible and sometimes bizarre stories from this thread for you. These tales are simply unbelievable, but at the same time, they are completely true. So feel free to scroll to the very end and be sure to write what you liked the most.

When I was ditching first period in HS a cop was in front of me at 7/11. The cashier couldn’t break his $50 so I paid for his coffee with my stuff. He thanked me, we jabbed about me being “late”
To school and I noticed the tattoo on his neck and we joked about bad decisions.
Two weeks later I get caught in a speed trap and who sticks his head in my window. And he went, “coffee girl!” And I went “tat neck!” And got let off with a finger shake.

Kind of the opposite happened to me. An officer gave me a ticket for something stupid. I then ran into him at my dad's work and when he saw me he said oh if I knew you were Rick's daughter I would never have given you a ticket. This after I paid it.

I was once pulled over and the cop walks up the car ands says "you b****!" I was so confused, and just handed him my license. He then realized I was not the friend of his he thought I was. Turns out he thought I was a girl that I graduated with from HS that people always said we looked alike. I did not get that ticket.

I got saved during a blizzard in the Alps by a big purple cow...
I was skiing in the Alps with some friends and we were off piste doing some jumps and stuff. I was at the back of the group and fell and twisted my knee (not quite) landing a jump. Managed to get myself a bit lost as a blizzard set in and I couldn't see s**t. Carefully scrabbled around on my dodgy knee for a bit and thought I was about to end up in a fair amount of trouble.
Then, out of the snow appeared my purple angel. A purple shape coming out of the blizzard, which as it got closer appeared to be an upright purple cow on skis.
Turns out, it was the Milka chocolate mascot, a guy dressed in a purple cow costume on skiing about the hills dishing out chocolate.
He skied right up to me and said "Hey man, you ok? You want some chocolate?"
He then skied back to the piste with me and took me to the nearest bar to get a beer.
Guess who else is in the bar! My friends who were getting increasingly concerned that they'd lost me! Milka man dished out some more chocolate to everyone and skied off never to be seen again.
Thank you purple cow angel, you saved me that day and gave me chocolate!

A friend once called the wrong number, got the wrong house, and had the right person pick up.
So, I was at work, replacing a modem for my boss. I'd removed the modem and connected a telephone to test that it had dial-tone.
Soon after, the phone rang. It didn't make much sense, because that phone line had only been used for outgoing calls from the computer.
When I picked up, the person on the other line just said 'Hey man, you want to see a movie later?'. I recognized the voice, too. It was a friend of mine. I was really confused for a second and said something like 'Josh? How did you get this number?'. He said he called my home phone number.
He must have misdialed my number, and accidentally dialed the number for my bosses modem line, at work.
He called the wrong number, got the wrong house, and the right person picked up, on a phone that had only been connected for 2 minutes in the past 2 years. The odds must be astronomical.
It's just a weird coincidence that I'll always remember.
James G. Currie 3 years ago
Have one that is even more astronomical... Back in grade school, a friend and I literally called each other at the exact same moment. The exact second the pulse tone ended, both calls connected instantly. We were both shocked! lol Talked about some c**p that a couple grade 5 students would talk about, and that was it.

The strangest coincidence that happened to me, was in a photo booth. We were asked for an id pic from school for our pupil public transportation discount card, so before going to school, I tried to get a picture in a photo booth, in the nearest metro station. Problem was, that the photos printed, instead of having my face, had the face of my sister (we look alike too). It was 7 o'clock in the morning, so it took me two minutes to realize that this familiar face in the picture, is actually not me, it's my dear sister. For a minute, I thought somebody was messing with me. It turns out, my sis also wanted to take a picture to school and tried to take a picture in the same photo booth the previous night. But instead of her own pictures, she got the pictures of someone else before her. There are no metro station workers late at night, so she didn't report the defective machine, and nobody had put it out of order until the time I arrived. At least she got her photos afterall.

I was working a call center for a company with three offices across the US. I took a warm transfer from another group from a trainee in that group. The trainee had the wrong group, but happen to be a friend of mine from the other side of the country I hadn't spoken to in years. I recognized her voice somehow. Very odd.

I'll never forget going to a haunted house on Halloween and the guy running at us with the chainsaw was all bummed we didn't run, then he said, " Hey guys, this is the part where you run and scream" and my friend recognized his voice.

So I worked for the IRS collecting taxes several years ago. I had seized someone's car and the IRS sales people were in the process of selling it. IRS procedures around some of this stuff are ancient. One of the procedures are to post a notice of sale in three public locations.
So I go to the library to post a notice of sale. The person on the ground floor says that I'll have to talk to Steve on the second floor to see if it's ok for me to post the notice of sale on the bulletin board. I walk up the stairs and see a guy sitting at the desk.
Me: "Are you Steve"
Steve: "Who's asking? The IRS?" (In a playful manner)
Me: <long pause> "Yes, in fact. My name is XXXXXX....."
Steve: <just about falls out of his chair> "Jesus Christ! I've been using that joke for 20 years! I never thought anyone would ever say yes!"

When I was in college, I worked for the IRS, and was also a Deadhead. I became friends with a couple of band members, and one day before a show, we were hanging out in the hotel room of one of them. In walked Owsley Stanley, who was at one time a sound engineer for the band, and very well known for his potent lsd. I mentioned that I needed to call work, and he asked me who I worked for. I replied "the IRS", and he turned ghostly white and exited the room. Turns out, the Feds had attempted to arrest him on drug charges, but he dodged them on numerous occasions. However, he ended up doing time anyway because they decided to nail him on tax evasion. Oops.

https://youtu.be/zwsmqZLCKPE Ok, so when I was a kid I used to love Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street, and I must have been 3 but remember all their skits to this day, so Im working at my comic store on a Saturday, which was great because it was always super busy, but I had extra people to answer the phone, but it was usually for me anyway so they'd always hand me the phone, but would buy me a minute with the customer I was helping. So my buddy had just given blood and he had a banana and gave it to the guy that works for me to give to me. I'm behind the counter turned around backwards looking for something. He leans over the counter and says " Here" handing me a banana, I'm all confused, he says " It's for you"! I just instinctively put it to my ear and said " Hello? Sorry, I can't hear you right now I have a banana in my ear". They all cracked up! I waited 40 years to tell that joke! 😂😂😂 🍌🍌🍌🍌

Started college. Saw my brother's best friend on campus, from a distance. Hard to miss: Nate's 6'6", skinny, long brown hair. Fitting of our childish friendship, I straight up open-field tackle the guy. From behind. Blindsided.
It's not Nate. I apologize, and sheepishly run away. Three hours later, a girl friend from high school introduces her new boyfriend to a group of us. It's the guy I tackled. Danny. Super nice (and forgiving) guy.

When my husband and I were dating, we played pool with his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend/now wife. One night, I was digging around in the other girl's purse for something she asked me to grab, and the roommate walked up behind me, grabbed my hips, and then smacked my a*s. I jumped and spun around, and Brent had this look of absolute horror on his face. His girlfriend was standing less than 5' away, lining up a shot, and saw everything. We all thought it was hilarious, but I wasn't allowed to have my hair the same shade as any of the other girlfriends after that.

If you've ever seen Alien Resurrection (not a great movie), there's a scene where Ripley throws a basketball in the sock over her shoulder from something like 3 point line. The funny thing is that the scene is real. Sigourney Weaver did a effin lightning in a bottle throw, but in the movie it looks cut, because the cameras weren't placed to capture the whole arc of the ball.

Sigourney Weaver made the behind-the-back half-court basketball shot successfully after 3 weeks of basketball practice, tutored by a basketball coach. Her conversion rate during this time was 1 of over 6 shots, but the distance was much lower than it would be in the actual scene.

I went to see some London fireworks around ten years ago - not NYE, it was the Mayor’s parade or something - and we’re all on the bridge waiting quietly for the show to bedazzle us.
A tipsy fella and some tipsy ladies were singing *Be Our Guest* from *Beauty and the Beast* but got stuck on a certain bit and couldn’t remember the line…
Flash back to 10yo me sitting in front of the telly watching a VHS of *Beauty and the Beast*, scribbling the lyrics for that very same song onto some paper.
See, my class in school were putting on a BatB play but we didn’t have lyrics. I can’t sing for s**t but I’d valiantly offered to transcribe them, not realising the Herculean task ahead, trying to decipher some of the words.
The play never happened - a shame because I’d been cast as Gaston - but the lyrics for *Be Our Guest* would forever be seared into my brain, waiting for their opportunity. One day.
And fan my brow, opportunity had finally come knocking!
But I was so nervous. I was sweating. Maybe even shaking.
Somehow the stars aligned and the universe bestowed upon me the courage to help these these inebriated revellers who were clearly in over their heads.
I waited for someone, anyone, to join in.
No takers.
It was now or never. Well, it was *then* or never.
I prepped my dodgy French accent and started singing:
*“Life is so unnerving,
For a servant who’s not serving.
He’s not whole without a soul to wait upon…”*
It was like a film. People turned around and made way as I started shakily walking towards them.
*“Ten years we have been rusting, Needing so much more than dusting!
Needing exercise! A chance to use our skills!
Most days we just lay around the castle…”*
They turned around beaming, the dude put his arm around my shoulder and we sang the rest of that bit together:
*“Flabby, fat and lazy,
You walked in and oopsie-daisy!”*
We high-fived, onlookers clapped, and I shakily walked back to join my mates. Once I’d come to my senses, I asked why none of them had filmed it!
I’m not sure if anyone else filmed it. I remembered seeing cameras pointing at us so I hunted around YouTube for a while after that but eventually gave up.
Regardless, such an opportunity may never appear again and I’m so glad I temporarily had the guts to just go for it.

When I did ballet (for one year, in 1997) our end of year concert was Beauty and the Beast. My class' main song was Be our Guest and we were all dressed as plates.

What a talent! His story telling had me so gipped. I loved his story, even though where I live singing in public and forgetting the lyrics will almost certainly result in someone joining in. A supermarket I usually avoid because it often plays 90's rave music, and trying to select veg with an acid flash back is not fun, was playing dolly parton a few days ago. Me and 3 other women in the clothes area, very mixed ages, stopped to belt out the chorus of 'Jolean' very loudly. I so wish I had the writing talent of this guy though.

Had a similar moment. A bunch of guys were kicked out of the bar for singing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' too loud, long, and wrong. When my friends and I got out of the bar, the lads were still singing... I told them, 'You got the words wrong...' And started singing it. Best performance of my life. My friends tried to record it. When I finished, I had an audience that clapped and cried out for more but I was...like... 'I need a smoke...' And hurried away.

I tell everyone this, I dunno if someone would think I'm lying about it though. But it's just too funny for it to be real, in my opinion.
Roommate walked in and said "did you hear about Steve?"
I said "unless he's dead, I don't want to hear about it."
There was a moment of silence. Followed by
"...Tiffany.... "
Sure enough. He's dead.
Edit: My name is Tiffany. And me and the guy ended on bad terms but I did grieve his death and he is still in my thoughts every so often.

Last conversation with an US relative of mine was a fight about Trump (a month or two before the Biden was elected, he was here in the EU for his brother's funeral). A week later I find out he died - even before he was scheduled to go back to the US. After his funeral his other brother came to visit us and we started discussing politics. Before the conversation went any further I asked him if he voted for Trump (answer: yes) and then if he's going to vote for Trump again (answer: yes) so I stopped the conversation and explained why and that I don't want to make the same mistake again and we talked about something else. Fun fact: they both immigrated into the US sometime in late 80s/early 90s

I had a pet humming bird as a kid. My mom found it injured on a sidewalk and nursed it back to health. It only had one eye and no depth perception so we kept it inside. We'd let it buzz around the room, land on us, and all that jazz. My brother told his teacher about it (in 3rd grade) and the teacher actually called my mom and was like "your son has made up a crazy story and insists its real". Reality was we had a pet humming bird and that seemed crazy enough people didn't believe it.

I once got a humming bird to land on my finger. It was in our sun room. flying back and forth between 2 perches. After a while and i remebered some thought about how they need to feed very very often when flying to support their metabolisim so i got worried and decided to help. I stood very still and put my finger next to one of the perches it was landing on repeatedly (a strung chain and cord that was holding a light fixture). after a few min, like only 5-10 mins, it landed on my finger. I tried to walk it out the door but first attempt it got scared and flew back to its perches. So i did it again and this time when it landed i slowly brought him and my finger back bellow my head and was able to cup him against my chest with my other hand. I brought him outside and opened my hands to look at him before releasing him. I half expected he would dart out and get me in the eye, but when i opened my hands he just stood there. So i helped him into the air with a light toss upwards into sky.

Even if it was a lie, what kind of teacher would call a parent over that?
Wondering Alice 3 years ago
I know what you mean, I was a very very honest child, but had no filter - I got called a lier a lot. One parents evening my maths teacher told my parents he was concerned at the level of lies I told at my age (maybe 15) his example being that my mum had been a boy scout and my dad had been in the girl guides. My embarrassed mum explained that her father had been a scout master and she had tagged along with her brothers, my dad had a lot of sisters and had just joined in - not really uncommon in the 50's for post war kids. The teacher apparently sent a message to my head of house, worried that my parents went to great lengths to cover my lies. I still laugh about this. The experience helps me a lot as a teacher. It is useful to share with parents if the children are dishonest (I didn't do it types) or story tellers - there might be underlying issues and it's good to work together. But my approach with parents is more on the lines - hey, your kid told me.... What's the story there?

I had forgotten how young I was when I began disliking birds, but now I remember freaking out regularly because my family had a pet cockatiel which my mum would let out of the cage to fly around. I know this was a good thing for the bird, but I hated the unpredictable nature of birds flying, never knowing where they will land, including on people. This cockatiel basically invited himself to be our pet- he turned up in our driveway one day, just hanging out, clearly tame, and we couldn't find his owners so we kept him. Poor bird, many years later we put him in an aviary (I'm not sure why, maybe because my brother's health wasn't so good so couldn't have a bird flying around the house anymore) where he had more room than his cage. He became less social and one day when the door of the aviary was opened he flew away. We never managed to track him down, but I hope he found a new family that could keep him inside and talk to him regularly.

So true, Many years ago, the ATM in the collage commons was loaded incorrectly and would spit out a $20 bill instead of a $5 bill. The line grew very long. One guy kept getting back in line withdrawing $5 but getting $20 until the machine ran out. The whole campus new about it and so did the bank. He spent the money on stuff very quickly and took about a week or so before received the formal letters from the bank demanding the money back. He didn't have it and had to arrange a payment plan until the bank got their money. He was bummed, but he should have known better.

Happens all the time and no, the bank won't track you. They'd have to see you on camera counting out the amount with the bills in hand and be able to prove it. My husband refilled and worked on ATMs for Loomis Armored. You're more likely to get an accidental amount the days leading up to maintenance. Most have scheduled check ins by armed guards and that's what my husband did. The bills get old and crumpled and then the machine can't count them.

If an ATM makes a dispensing error, the bank isn't going to track you and press charges like some commenters think. Most bank transactions can be tracked and corrected, but an ATM dispensing more than requested is not one of them. I am very familiar with how banks and ATMs work, at least in the US.

Had something similar happen. Early 2000’s, was broke af. Checked my account. There was more money than there should be by a few dollars. Checked again later. There was a few more dollars. Hmm. Waited another hr or so. It was up to over $50 dollars more. I took it all out and closed the account. Have no idea what shady business was going on, but I had $50 more than when the day started lol

I was down to my last not knowing how I was going to get through to pay day. I didn't need much but I really needed it, especially for bus fare to the daycare and work. My 3yo wanted to play so we go out to the park down the hill from my apartment. I take a seat at the picnic table to watch him play. I drop my head as thoughts of what to do come rushing back. Lo and behold there's $20 partially covered by dirt right by my feet! I pick it up, lift my head and say thank you to the sky. It was exactly what I needed.

I once pulled up at a red light where a cat was sat by the side of the road. When the green man came on, the cat got up and crossed the road!

My friend's cat saw his litter mate get hit by a car and every time he wanted to cross the road after that, he would sit at the zebra crossing until a car stopped to let him cross. Animals are so much smarter than we give them credit for.

I once showed up to a mates house with a bacon and egg roll from maccas. He jokingly asked "did you get me one?" I did, and without saying a word I pulled it out of the bag and threw it to him, the wrapping dropped off in mid air, he caught the burger one handed, we both looked at each other in amazement, and bit straight in.

Well not so unbelievable as we’ve been married 5 years now but when I first met my wife I was in Vancouver for a student program for the summer. She was a model and crazy beautiful, I was some dirty farm kid from Saskatchewan who couldn’t flirt to save his life and had never kissed a girl or taken one on a date. So when I came back to my hometown, the way I told people about my girlfriend was: “yeah I have a girlfriend but she’s a model in Vancouver and no one here has ever met her yet. Maybe one day!” Took more than 2 years for anyone to believe me
Edit: WOW this blew up, I won a scholarship to a improv camp (yes I was also a theatre kid) and she was in my group for the week, just to be clear her name is Fiona and I sang “All Star” by smash mouth to win her over. If you have any other questions please send me a message because I love bragging about her!
Edit 2: yes in my case shrek literally is love.

Ha ha. Here in the U.S. it's a running joke about a "nerdy" guy who has a girlfriend in Canada. They have an elusive girlfriend in Canada, usually a model, but of course usually it's just a lie. There was a play off Broadway, Avenue Q, that has a song "My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada" 🤣 🎶her name is Alberta, she lives in Vancouver, she cooks like my mother, and sucks like a hoover🎶

This is not to brag but when I was younger I had a boyfriend that was so gorgeous men and women used to tell me how lucky I was. He was asked to model all the time but sometimes he was asked to do dirty things as well. One time at Disney world he came running out of the bathroom because three guys had propositioned him. Relationship didn't last long but he was definitely gorgeous.

I'll try to make it short, but it's very convoluted. Florist in my hometown received an order for my sister's funeral. She called my dad's neighbor to ask if my sister had died. Neighbor says no, and goes to talk to my dad, who freaks out. He couldn't reach her, so he called me, and I couldn't reach her either, so as I am walking out the door for a 4 hour drive to her house, she calls. Many other bizarre twists and turns, but a woman with the exact first, middle and last name had been killed in a wreck. AND she had the same exact birthday to add to the confusion, and lived 15 miles apart. It was nuts!!

Names changed due to HIPAA regs: I used to process Medicare claims, and came across one that doctor was protesting-we denied the claim because the member was deceased but the doctor swore he wasn't. I finally found an obituary in a small town Tennessee newspaper showing it was a different John Q. Public who had died, (middle name was Quincy instead of Quentin) though they were born on the same day in the same tiny town that they lived in all their lives. The kicker is we only know someone is deceased if Social Security tells us, so even the government had it wrong!

I was driving a friend home to Indianapoilis from Holy Cross in South Bend. We got pulled over for speeding and the cop asked me "Son do you know how fast you were going?" to which I replied with a straight face and no sarcasm "Well my cruise control was set at 88 so I'm guessing somewhere in the vicinity of 88?" I've never seen such a confused look on a person's face. He proceeds to ask if I can step out of my vehicle and into his so he can talk to me while he writes me a ticket. I comply and as he's writing me up he's explaining to me how he had to do his Sherrif training in Indianapolis. He said thatt the one thing that amazed him was how fast locals drive esp on I465 and he understands why I'm conditioned to do so. Soon as he's done with the ticket he turns to me and says "So here's the deal, you're the first motorist to ever admit to me you knew you were speeding so I'm gonna cut you a break. If you can make it back to Indy without getting another ticket I won't turn this one in, but if you do you're getting 2'" I slowed down for the rest of the drive.

I don't purposefully speed, while driving, but I did get caught in a speed trap twice. The thing is, by the time the officers get to my door, my brain is absolutely blank. I probably wouldn't be able to tell you where I was going, let alone the speed I was going. So if someone asks, "do you know how fast you were going?" I'd say, "No." Because I really, honestly, wouldn't remember.

The trooper lectured my Mom in the passenger seat and my Grandmother in the backseat about my speeding and not obeying the speed limit. When asked why I was speeding, I shrugged and said that's how everyone drives. I was grounded for 6 weeks and no driving for the 6 months by my parents. My mom got the ticket .

Years ago I'm was in the passenger seat of a sports car, the driver was total d**k - we had been friends since childhood, and this was towards the end of our friendship, he had landed a fair bit of money and his normal entitled arrogance had gone through the roof - he was really really pissed I refused to date him, like having money ment he could get what he wanted. So I don't know if he was trying to scare or impress me but he took a slip road on to the moter way at a ridiculous speed, cutting up a police car. I gave you all that back ground to explain why as we sat on the hard shoulder with the police man standing by the window I continued to scream at the guy for at least 5 minutes, I don't remember most of what I was screaming but I did yell he was lucky it was a police car, because he could have killed an inexperienced driver. The police officer then asked where we were going, and nodded saying that's a 4 hour journey right? He looked at me and said 'punishment enough then, enjoy

I peed on a bear once at 12 or 13. Some background I lived in a mountain cabin with some family aunts and cousins and stuff. The cabin was small but we had several acres so we had about 4 RV trailers for the rest of the family. 2 were my aunts 1 was for weed and the last and closest smallest was for children which was just my brother and I at the time.
Anyhow it was a cold wintery day with fresh snow as I wake up having to p**s so bad I'm surprised I didn't wet the bed. Im groggy as hell and my eyes are barely open as I head to the trailer door and open it start my morning leak. I did not notice the bear less than 2 feet away so close I could've pet him if I leaned a bit forward with its head in the garbage can until I was halfway done when it moved. So of course I turned my whole body in my half asleep state in to see what moved and I finally notice a giant brown furry thing and I'm pissing all over its hind left thigh and leg as I'm wondering what it is, as the bear lifts its head and looks at me. We stare at each other for a moment as I my actions begin to dawn on me. A moment later I finish. The bear and I stared at each for several moments until I took a step back, shut our flimsy door and locked our deadbolt that would've been useless had the bear decided I insulted his honor. And I went back to bed listening and waiting until I eventually went back to sleep.

This was a couple years ago but I pulled up to a stop light, and another vehicle in the next lane also comes to a stop. The car is filled with what looks like high school kids. The kid in the passenger seat notices me, taps on his window and starts doing the universal sign for rock, paper, scissors. I look at the light (which is still red) and immediately think f**k it and play along so we start. 1..2..3..shoot and we tie.1..2..3..shoot, we tie again. This keeps happening. All the young kids in the other car are involved and are screaming like "WOOOOOAAH" everytime we tie. We literally got off like 15 rounds of rock, paper, scissors and tied every single time until the light turned green. I'm still high from that and hope all those guys are doing well.

Lol this same thing happened to me and a former employer. I used to work at a Panago Pizza and my boss and I became really good friends. One particularly slow evening, we were talking about random stuff, don't recall what exactly but it lead to us playing rock-paper-scissors. Each round out of maybe 20-30 we tied. After about 10, the rest of the staff on shift were watching in disbelief. We only stopped because a customer walked in so it was back to work. I loved working with him, he was the kind of person who didn't care how quickly you got your work done, as long as you got it done and you followed proper food safety procedures all the time.

In college I was walking to class and a thunderstorm hit, but I had just gotten a girlfriend and I was in the best mood of my life so I was just getting soaked and smiling from ear to ear.
A guy walked by with an umbrella, I smiled at him and said hi. He took down his umbrella and got soaked with me and we proceeded to talk about how moments like these are what makes life magical, if only we let ourselves experience them. 20 minute conversation later, the storm stopped and we went our separate ways.
My new girlfriend, a cognitive science major, saw me and ran over to me. She said, “why didn’t you call me??? You know Oliver Sacks is one of my heroes!”
Me: “that was Oliver Sacks?”
Apparently he was a speaker that night for a neuroscience conference. He also has prosopagnosia (face blindness) so it’s possible that he thought we knew each other when I said hi.

The rain let up a little and I just said screw it, took off my shoes and just walked right down the middle of the mall with a big sh!teating grin on my face. There were people taking refuge all over the place when these two girls walked right up to me and said hi and continued to walk, getting soaked with big ole smiles. I think we had about 15 people by the end of the mall. Everyone said have a great one and parted ways.

We had to get three or four guys to lift my brother in his wheelchair high enough so his head was above the water level. It is still one of my best memories, just the joy I took in the day.

Unless they have something unique about them I can memorize, like Julie Eaton has spikey hair and a slightly lazy eye,. I am much better with voices, and can often recognize people that way rather than by recognizing their face. And there are some people, whom I swear look different every time I meet them.

Short one, yet true nonetheless. Having a hectic day once, running errands I didn’t enjoy. Grocery shopping, quick Home Depot visit, going to bank etc etc. I forgot an item I needed at home for bank teller so I drive back irritated, driving fast, trying to make it back to bank before closing time. As I turn into my apartment’s parking lot there I notice ahead of me a squirrel. I hit my breaks to let the squirrel run by, but he’s just sitting there, nibbling on something. As I slowly drive closer I notice this squirrel is not only nibbling on fries, but he’s imitating dipping a single fry into a crushed and empty ketchup packet. I looked around to see if anyone was seeing what I was seeing. I couldn’t believe it. This m**o was dipping a fry in ketchup. A squirrel. I didn’t take a picture because my phone was dead. PrOoF Or It DiDn’T hApPeN — I know, I know. But, I think about this memory once a month or so and it’s been two years. No one ever believes me. A Big foot sighting would have been more plausible.

Background: my parents live in an old house, and my brother moved into one that's a bit of a fixer-upper. My dad knows how to do carpentry, electrical, and plumbing, and passed this knowledge on to us through home renovations. I am forbidden from using the phrase, "hey guys wouldn't it be hilarious if...." because every time I do, that thing happens in the worst way possible - even if it's something wild and implausible. "Would it be hilarious if the old porch was solid concrete?" - it was, with 1-inch thick rebar holding it together. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if that wire was still live?" - it was, and power to the entire house was shut off. Someone wired this outlet in before the circuit breakers. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if that old pipe was full of water still?" - Brother cut into it, water began gushing out. "Wouldn't it be hilarious if this trellis was holding up the entire wall?" - Wall began rapidly sagging down because the damn trellis was structurally integral.

My mom was similar, she wasn't allowed to say "wouldn't it be funny if..." And also if she started laughing hysterically stop what your doing. That meant she had already imagined the look on your face when something bad was going to happen. For example before I was born she ran a bath for my dad. She had ran the hot water first and hadn't turned the cold water on. Well dad started to get in the bath and she starts laughing. He ignores her and steps into bath. Immediately pulls foot back out of the water and the funny part she pictured happened so she continues rolling around laughing. He was fine jt was just a quick in and out not any actual burn.

EDIT2: this man is not a stalker, him and my mum would recognise eachother because she was with me each time, yes he fell trying to catch me but it was funny so its okay, and no this was not the underground train type of subway i mean the sandwich shop, he did not work there and no he isn't homeless.

It took my children to finally explain that joke to me. I just thought it was an unfunny joke, with an obvious unfunny answer.

I never got that in forty years of living and learning until two nine-year olds explained it to me

Lol don't know if you guys remember back in the day there was a device called The clapper. If you clapped twice it would turn your light on or off. I was breeding lovebirds at the time that are not known for talking but they learned the exact frequency to chirp at to turn my light on. So sometimes at 2:00 in the morning I would hear peep peep my light would go on. Peep peep my light would go off. I eventually had to disconnect it because my birds thought it was funny to do it all night.

I was playing basketball in the park with my mom. Neither of us were very athletic, we were just having fun. There was some kid hanging around us and we weren’t trying to be rude so we let him. After a few minutes of some of the worst questions I’ve ever heard, he asked me if I could throw the ball at the basket backwards. I said sure. See, had he asked if I could make it backwards I woulda said no, but he only asked if I could throw it backwards, which I could. My mom knew what I was doing, hell I picked up so much from her growing up it was probably her idea before I said anything. I took a half hearted peak at the basket, turned around, no warm up, just let that ball fly. I turned back around to watch the obvious miss. I started to say, “See, I threw it at the basket,” but all I gout outta my mouth was, “See-“ And then the ball went in. Swish. Nothing but net. Backboard? That thing never even hit the rim. I don’t have the Will to keep a straight face if I looked at the kid. I looked my mom and said “just like that.” She was almost as surprised as I was
That kid told me he didn’t think I could do it again. Mamma beat me to it this time and said, “ I think it’s your turn”
He left us alone soon after

I went to see Mitch Hedberg do stand up. We stayed around awhile hoping to see him leaving. He never materialized though, so my husband and I walked towards our car. As we were walking we heard a woman yell from an ally “Hey! Mitch Hedberg is back here signing autographs!” We walked around the corner behind a scary old building. It was like 1am and pretty dark. There was Mitch Hedberg and no other fans. Just him and his wife, who had been the one to yell about autographs. He was very high and super lovey. He hugged my husband and me and told us what his fans mean to him. HE took pictures of US for his scrapbook page online. He was also hilarious. We were just there behind a building at 1am with Mitch Hedberg and his wife laughing and hugging deep into the wee hours… When I tell people this they go silent and I’m not sure why. I figure they don’t believe it.

It’s only funny now because so much time has passed but I had just flown in to visit a buddy and he picked me up from the airport. His house was a bit away from the airport so I ended up passing out. Anyways, I woke up to some commotion outside. He had stopped at a gas station. I stumbled out of the car and found a gun pointed at my head. He had gotten into an altercation with a couple of dudes and I guess I startled the second guy because the windows were tinted and they assumed he was alone. Probably because I was half asleep and couldn’t really grasp what was going on, I muttered - “Well? Either pull the f*****g trigger or get out of my way cuz I really need to take a p**s.” I guess all of that was enough to dead whatever the f**k was going on and they dispersed. Texas in case anyone was wondering or shocked. And no, I cannot confirm that is how I would handle situations like that wide awake lol

One of my roommates in college was goofing around, throwing stuff at another roommate. I was sitting there watching television, not paying attention, as things flew around the room. One of my brilliant friends decided to take the game a bit further by chucking an orange. He threw it so fast, it didn't quite go where he thought it would and instead was headed for me. I didn't see the throw but at the last second, my arm whipped straight up and I caught it without even looking. There was silence for a few seconds then a chorus of "what the fuuck?". I have really, really good reflexes but even I was a little shocked. Still don't know how I did it.

I moved to a new city and figured I would go for a drive, get the lay of the land. At a stop sign trying to turn right, lookong left at traffic. See my chance and turn right without looking. A pedestrian was crossing in front of me and I hit him, not super hard but hard enough for him to kind of roll up on my hood.
He got off and stood up. I rolled my window down and apologized but he was kind of like Eric Idle in National Lampoon's European Vacation. He kept apologizing, saying it was his fault, just a flesh wound, etc.
I decided my sightseeing tour should come to an end after running someone down in the street. I got a little turned around before finding my bearings. I was headed up a hill toward my new place and didn't realize my lane was ending. I didn't see the car in my blind spot and totally cut them off and our cars very lightly bumped. Immediately stopped next to the car I hit at a red light.
The driver was the pedestrian I ran over 20 minutes ago 5 miles away. Again he was disturbingly polite, apologized to me, and did not want to exchange insurance info (there was no damage).
TL;DR: I hit a pedestrian with my car then later hit a car in a different area. The pedestrian and driver were the same person.

It apparently took quite the convincing to get the state cop to unlock the handcuffs and let them about their business and all three were very fond of retelling the story.

Once in high school someone threw a pencil towards my general side of the room and it was heading directly towards my head, but without knowing it, I was stretching my arms and I blocked the pencil no-look. People saw and told me I have superpowers

I don't know if it's hard to believe or not, but I got to swim with a sea turtle, once. She swam right up to me, and I paddled around her for a while. I started petting her, and noticed she wasn't acting right. It turned out she was sick and trying to reach the shore. I helped pull her in and called our local sea turtle rescue people to come get her. They took her to a rehab facility. I found out later she had a uterine infection.

A few of my friends were going to another friends house and I picked them up to drive over together. I stepped up all the way to stand on the very lip of the door, so close my nose was literally touching the door itself. When Steve answered the door he obviously wasn't expecting to see me that close so his brain must have just told him no one was there. I continued to stay perfectly still and he asked where I was peering around the yard for me. That's when I moved and he jumped like three feet backwards and was like 'your a freeking ninja! How did you get there!'

I used to sell tool books over the phone years ago. One time I rang a mechanic's office to sell them some books at the very moment my father walked into their office to sell them some tools! We were living across the country from one another. The people I called handed the phone over to my dad. Coolest sales call ever!

I had a guy come up to me in a gas station asking if I owned the Mazda outside. I was like "oh c**p," thinking he had hit me. He hadn't. He's like "come look at this!" We walk out and there's an identical car next to mine. Same color and everything. He tells me to look at the plates. They were sequential. Like mine was 405 KLD (not real) and his was 406 KLD. He was really excited about it.

I dropped a glass ornament and instinctively stuck my foot out to try and catch it for some reason. It bounced gently off my slipper and landed on the bed, unharmed. I still can't believe it.

I went to high school in a tiny, middle-of-nowhere town. One day as I was walking home I heard hoofbeats behind me. I turned just in time to catch a glimpse of 3-4 deer crossing the road. I turned back around just in time to see a large raptor (vulture, hawk, maybe even an eagle) take flight off the next telephone pole.
