Join the Fun!

When I started 3rd grade, I transferred to a new school. The school I went to prior was an abnormally small private catholic school. I think they only had about 5 teachers and under 30 students total. This school was so small, the cafeteria doubled as an art classroom. With the size of the school, it was also very protected. Everyone in the school was friends with each other. There were no such things as bullies, because everyone's parents were friends, and those parents were also great friends of the teachers. Aside from the occasional pre-pubescent children nagging and whining amongst ourselves and outbursts that young kids have, it was pretty great of an atmosphere.

When I got to my new school on the first day, which was a public school in Pittsburgh. I was so out of my element it was insane. I couldn't comprehend why everyone wore different clothes, why there were so many people, why the teachers were so brash and somewhat aggressive. Nobody seemed friendly, nothing made sense. It was a total culture shock.

Fast forward to lunch, they announced they had a salad bar. This was the most normal part of the day for me, because at my old school we usually had lunches like salad bars. I made a few acquaintances prior to lunch which gave me tremendous relief as the biggest worry I had that day was wondering if i'd have to eat lunch by myself or with a table of people i dont know. Me and the two other kids at the time made it through the lunch line and got to the salad bar. I started to fix up my tray with the most wonderful salad a kid could ask for - lettuce, ranch, croutons, bacon bits. As soon as i turned away from the salad bar, a very tall and lanky girl with zany pigtails in braids just stood in front of me and practically made sure i would "accidentally" walk right into her. The obvious outcome; My tray collided with her tray, which sent the salad flying, covering her mostly in ranch dressing. I lost all of my salad, and everyone was f*****g chuckling about it. She decided to start crying and it went from bad to even worse, because i had the teachers rush over to me and grab me by my arm and drag me to the principles office.

I got yelled at for about 10 minutes and was told that my first impression was certainly not a good one, and the girl had to have her parents come in and bring her a change of clothes. Nobody would listen to my side of the story, and this idiot told everyone that i threw my salad at her so she would "get out of my way". I never met this girl in my life, i didnt even know she existed prior to her sabotaging me and making me go hungry. When i explained that it was an accident, they would retort with "how? You saw her standing there".

I sat in the office, starving, crying, and scared that my mom would beat my a*s. She came down to the school shortly after, and this was the light at the end of the tunnel. The principle takes her into her office, and i start to hear yelling. I start crying harder, because now momma is in trouble... but then i realized the yelling wasnt from the principle, it was my mom. My mom went the f**k off on the principle. I heard things such as "It's his first day, do you really think he would throw his f*****g salad in her face?" and "How dare you not let my son eat?!"

My mom took me home, got me mcdonalds, and i lived in total fear for the rest of 3rd grade. Mom cant always be there to save me, but goddamnit mom... you f*****g killed it.

Happy mothers day.

Bad blind date because the woman found out you were a psychopath?

225points

Unfortunately, there are people out there who are somehow entirely blind to social norms and will flagrantly break them without a thought. In a few cases, this could be simple ignorance or lack of ability to read social cues. Everyone knows someone who is probably well-meaning but ends up being downright annoying to be around.

But many of the cases listed here go much further than, say, a loud belch at a dinner table or an awkward question about one’s love life. These encounters veer into downright antisocial behavior, which at “best” are a nuisance and at worst, could be seen as a crime. Traditionally, this is seen as part of a personality disorder, but more contemporary psychologists believe it could, instead, be a result of certain issues in upbringing.

30 Unbelievably Strange Encounters With Random Strangers That These People Still Can't Believe Back in the '70s, I was riding in a car that my best friend's mother was driving on a highway. There was me, my friend, her brother, and a couple of other kids in the car. The age range for the kids was about 7 to 9 years old. It was a warm day, and my friend's mother had her window rolled down (no air conditioning). A car full of teenagers pulled alongside of her, and someone threw a full cup of ice water through the window at her. I got hit by it, too, because I was sitting in the front seat next to her. She managed not to lose control of the car. In retrospect, it was incredibly fucked up to try and cause a lady with a car full of kids to crash.

The generally accepted cause of antisocial behavior is upbringing or a lack thereof. This is a sort of double-edged sword, as it lets us pinpoint how to prevent it, but unfortunately, it offers little hope for people who are already adults. The upside is the policymakers, social workers and just people who live in a community can all do their part to help, but it also means they generally have to suffer at the hands of existing, antisocial adults.

I was in London on business and my hotel was hosting a Christmas party for a bunch of Russians also there on business. I was sitting at the bar by myself and one of the Russian women invited me to sit with her and her friends. Her table had her, three other women and two men. I don’t speak Russian but they were all very nice and welcoming to me. The woman sitting across from me was passed out drunk with her head on the table. No one paid any attention to her. After 30 minutes me and the woman who invited me were flirting pretty good. Suddenly the drunk woman sits up straight, points at me, scowls and begins yelling what obviously were Russian swear words. She does this for about a minute while the rest of us just stare at her and say nothing. Then she plops her head back down on the table and goes to sleep. I asked everyone collectively “what was that all about?” One of the guys replied “she doesn’t know why you are sitting with us, she hates you and she called your mother some very bad names. But don’t pay her any attention, she’s a crazy Russian. We’re happy to party with an American.

Complimented my penis. I was at a camp shower at a campground. I was around 12 some random guy walked in and just stared at me and watched me take a shower making weird small talk. This was the late 70's, early 80's. Kids werent special yet and we basically were raised you just be polite to adults so I was "yes sir" and "no sir" the creep. The Adam Walsh TV movie changed all of that and parents were like, hey, maybe we should watch our kids a little bit? He didn't rape me so I guess that's a plus.

NickelAntonius , Muhammad-taha Ibrahim Report

The rapid social changes brought on by technology have made it hard to track exactly what stimulus ends up causing kids to start behaving poorly. In the age of regular TV consumption, some studies found that for every additional hour of TV a teen watched, the risk of them exhibiting some antisocial behavior rose by roughly 30%. However, as most parents now know, young people aren’t really watching hours and hours of TV, but it’s unclear if, say, video games or streaming has the same effect as TV used to.

It’s not fair, however, to pin all the blame on media. Media only raise a child if the parents are absent in some form, which might be a more significant trigger than, say, Cartoon Network or Minecraft. Even more significantly, parental abuse is pretty closely tied with the victim “passing on” the abuse to another, creating a spiraling cycle of violence and bad behavior. Even smaller things, like poor nutrition and poverty, can cause an environment where normal social behavior is not learned, leading to the sorts of adults we see in these stories.

I was waiting for my girlfriend at the bus terminal in order to go to her home to meet her parents for the 1st time. This one random old dude aproaches me, askes me about the boat schedules (it's a boat and bus terminal), and I'm happy to help him out. Since it's still a while for the next boat and it takes a while for my girlfriend to arrive, the dude keeps talking to me and I didn't mind about it and was having a conversation with him. He asks me for a cigarette (I don't smoke) and offers me a beer (I don't drink). Out of the blue he asks me "Do you want to go to my house while you wait for your girlfriend?". I'm like "Is this dude hitting on me or something? wtf..." and try my best to be polite and shut down and move away from him because it was getting a bit unconfortable. Not long after, the bus is arriving and I use it as an excuse to gtfo of the conversation. By my face my GF can tell that something happened and I tell her wtf just happened and when I look back to tell her who the dude was, the dude just vanished like a ghost. I'm even more confused by this. Next thing I know, she's describing me the old dude "Is the man you talked to like this and that, and wearing this and that?" and I'm like "Yeah, how do you know?" and she blank stares at me "That's my dad and he's right there". Not a bad f****d up thing, but f****d up to do to an unsuspecting person in a stressing situation like meeting your SOs parents for the 1st time. In his defense tho, he did make a joke when we "officially" met and said "Well, we're going to my house after all!"

I had just recently got my driver's license. I was driving down a back road going the speed limit (55) and I was the only car on the road. When I checked my mirror a few seconds later, a red car was directly on my a*s, so close I couldn't see his front plate. He began slowing down and speeding towards the back end of my car repeatedly. After a few minutes, he sped past me in a no passing zone and started brake checking me (speeding up and slamming his brakes to try getting me to hit him). After a minute or so of that, he slammed his brakes and we both came to a full stop. He got out of his vehicle and started pounding on the driver's side window screaming and cursing me out before getting back in his car and speeding off. I pulled over and stayed there for a few minutes to insure he was long gone before proceeding...

I'm gay and my husband and I married in the rotunda of the courthouse. As we said I do and kissed a group of Mennonite kids started spitballing us and throwing stuff down at us. Hit the judge too. It was a really crappy way to remember our wedding. No witnesses, just us which is how we wanted - but then what was essentially a hate crime. The children's parents were amused.

My husband chased down security and they had it on video. Security stopped the family and then asked my husband if he wanted to prosecute. I was turning in our marriage certificate at that moment so I wasn't there to threaten 'yes'. My husband said no of course. I didn't want to really prosecute, but I wanted to put some fear in them.

There are also some genetic factors that ultimately might lead to people behaving in ways that others find annoying or downright horrible. The bottom line is that antisocial behavior, ultimately, needs to be cut off at the source. This means that all of us have to look for ways to help dysfunctional families, to make sure children can live in a safe environment and that psychological help like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is available to those in need.

I work at a hotel as a housekeeper. Yesterday we had a baseball team checking out and I had a bunch of their rooms on my list. The rooms were reasonably messy, nothing too bad. But the last room…they trashed the place. Trash thrown everywhere and hidden in some places, food ground into the carpet, p**s on the bathroom floor, greasy hand prints on the windows and mirrors. The whole shebang. This was s****y, sure, but what made it f****d up was how they tipped me. They dragged a chair into the middle of the room, faced it towards the door, and left a stack of fake hundred dollar bills in the seat in plain sight.

30 Unbelievably Strange Encounters With Random Strangers That These People Still Can't Believe Tapped me on the shoulder in a club and when I turned around, he headbutted me with all his might. Before I could even process what had happened, two bouncers had a hold of him, dragging him outside.

I was just stood there, dazed and confused with my nose pissing blood everywhere - then I was lead into a room by one of the bouncers and given tissues to stop my nose bleeding. He said to me that the guy had struck one of their guys on the way out and the police were going to arrest him if I wanted to talk to them. Automatically said no, not wanting to be a grass (snitch).

I never left my feet and my nose wasn't broken, so it wasn't really *that* big a deal - but it lives rent free in my head because I don't know who it was or why he did it.

I seen his face momentarily and didn't recognise him, and as such wouldn't be able to pick him out a crowd now. I wasn't dancing with any girls as I was already with my now Fiancé and very happy, so I didn't make moves on his girlfriend or love interest. Me and my friends keep ourselves to ourselves and aren't involved in any beefs or anything. I wasn't stumbling drunk, so couldn't have barged into him or spilled his drink or anything.

My best theory is mistaken identity. I look like my Brother and he and his crowd are a bit more nefarious. Either that or he just thought I was someone else completely.

I parked completely WITHIN the lines of a parking space. Did nothing wrong. Received a note on my car: “Learn to park, A*****E!”.

He told me to crumble the note up and forget about it, I parked completely fine. Hope whoever wrote that note got some nice karma coming to them.

Meanwhile, one of my biggest pet peeves is when people park straddling the parking lines. And yet I am the one who received a note. Cool.

Edit. Now I’ve read a few of the replies on here and maybe I should just delete mine. I didn’t get punched in the face or hurt. Just felt the inconsideration and unjust rudeness from a stranger.

30 Unbelievably Strange Encounters With Random Strangers That These People Still Can't Believe Out at a bar in my mid 20s, my friend started talking to this girl. I let him do his thing for a while until he finally included me in the conversation and introduced me. The girl took one look at me at said “if you’re going to have any chance with a girl like me, you have to lose a few pounds and shave that goatee”. I was completely stunned. I had some very unkind words for her and eventually told my buddy to take her home and screw out what little brains he had left before I left the bar.

That was over ten years ago and unfortunately, that moment has stuck with me for a long time and probably contributes to why I have trouble meeting girls while out, even to introduce myself. I’ve dealt with rejection before and it hurts, but that comment hit me to my core.

Here's the thing. That comment had nothing to do with you. It FELT like it did, because she said it to you. But, that was just her idiotic and cruel way of validating herself and making her feel confident. It's what stupid people do. Truly. They have nothing else and certainly have no empathy. It's lizard brain all the way. So what you really need to ask yourself is, "why should I care at all what someone who I have no respect for thinks about me?" It hurt, because you are human and that was f******g lame, but truly, I promise you, it was for her to hear, not for you. Let it go and don't be afraid, just be kind and genuine and you will find your person. That was NOT your defining moment. That was a defining moment with a totally gross specimen that you just need to laugh off and move on and be glad it was only one interaction 😄

Guy Divorced 3 Years Ago Drops Off 3 Y.O. With His Ex-Wife Completely Out Of The Blue

Drove with a blood alcohol level of .1 and then rear ended me at a stop light going about 50 mph. Totaled my car when I was 21, living on my own and struggling financially. He had no insurance or license because he got drunk and caused a car accident 3 months prior. Then he died of alcohol poisoning. I got $157.63 from his estate 2 years later for the damages.

But, it was that event that taught me to drive a standard transmission car.

Not me, but some years ago my (middle-aged bordering on elderly) mother came off the bus one day when a guy straight-up punched her in the eye and left. She didn't know him, hadn't done anything to set him off to her knowledge and he was never caught. (edit: scrolled down and realized there's another person with a similar story)

EDIT: When it comes to me personally then the worst that comes to mind is some blokes with a car trying to steal my newspaper cart during a summer job once upon a time. When I was doing the rounds at around 4-5 am. It wasn't too scary at the time, I was mainly angry at them, but thinking back I can imagine how the situation might've escalated if they hadn't been clearly high off their asses and scared of me calling the cops.

When I was ten or so a man started to scream at me and hit me with a newspaper. Afterwards I think I managed to figure out what happened. He angrily said that I was "smelling" being a bullied kid I assumed he meant that I was dirty, I was in actuality suffering from hay fever and he assumed my sniffling was me mocking him. He was an immigrant and it was "normal" for racist people to say that immigrants were smelly.

Several adults intervened and helped me run out from the subway train.

Someone stopped their car, got out, helped me back onto my bike and asked me if I wanted him to call 911 for me. So I met the opposite of who you did. Btw, I was a bit bruised, but mostly fine and was able to get home.

I was in highschool and an older student I didn't know found me sitting by myself under a tree reading a book at lunchtime. He creepily sat close by and asked what I was reading and when I asked who he was he said "your friend" with an equally creepy smile. A few days later under that same tree he suddenly came up behind me, grabbed me by the shoulders and forcibly dry-humped me while his friends watched and laughed. I still remember how violated I felt - I tried to brush it off like it was no big deal, but I kept obsessively rubbing my back like there was something dirty on it, and then my inner voice said "if it's 'no big deal' then why can't you stop thinking about it?" So I told my parents, and then the Deputy Principal. I was never explicitly told so, but I'm 99.9% sure the f****r was expelled. I certainly never saw him again, but I hate to think what he might have gone on to do to others. :(

I was a brand new freshman, 1st month of school and learning my way around. Walking up a stairwell, this boy I've never seen is walking down. Just before we pass each, he reaches out and grabs me between the legs.I was only 13, but I have an older sister. Without thinking, I swung my notebook & the 2 books I was carrying right into his privates. He proceeded to fall down the metal stairs, hurting himself. He lied to the teacher who came over, his assistant principal and his parents. Luckily, I had a witness who backed me up. Turns out he was a 17yo senior. My age meant he could have been charged with pedophilia (age of consent was 16). He was suspended for several weeks and sent to a different school.

In January of this year in Charles County, MD my husband and daughter were at Target. A man walked by and made really intense eye contact with My 10 yr old. She says "daddy that man is SCARY I want to go home" He was in front of them at guest services cause they had to return a birthday present. My husband notices the man has a huge gun down his pants so he steps forward to protect my daughter as the man was trying to pull it out. He tripped and was trying to tell the very pretty girl behind the counter to come with him like a hostage but he tripped and couldn't get out the gun so he ran out the door. Cops were everywhere they got held up for 2 hours being questioned but he got away. I couldn't figure out what kind of idiot would rob guest services at the end of the night since they return money nor take it in. Then a few days later the same guy kidnapped a woman at a gas station up the street, carjacking her with her in the car and took her to the next county over and raped her. He was looking for a woman to take not money that night at Target. Very terrifying

I was in Sephora with one of my best friends and wearing a dark purple sweater. This man comes up to us with the wildest hat I've ever seen (hard to describe, but I remember bright pinks, blues, and greens) and says my sweater reminds him of Prince and death. He wasn't all there so I think he was trying to say the purple reminded him of Prince and it was a shame Prince was dead. I took it as a compliment and I have no idea where that man is now but I hope he's well and has expanded his collection of zany hats.

Silly interaction number two is a little bittersweet, but the punchline's worth it. Just a couple of months ago, I had spent the day at my guy, George's, hospital bedside, basically watching him die, there was nothing more we could do. After a long day, I was physically and mentally exhausted, catching my breath on an outdoor bench, my Chicken Purse on my lap (a purse that looks like a black furry rooster, but I call it a chicken 'cause it's funnier). This man walks out of the building and, without breaking his stride, points at me and shouts, "That's a mighty big c**k you've got there!", and I just exploded in much needed laughter. If you believe in "that stuff", I like to think that was my goodbye from George. He jokingly hated the purse, but loved the reactions people had to it, mostly kids. The comment just fit his humour perfectly.

I used to live in a town where every summer we had a little festival. During one week, street artists would perform for free in several places and people could come and watch and give some money if they felt like it. My sisters and friends would often go with my bf and me to this festival. One night, my boyfriend and I accompanied my younger sister back to her car. On the parking lot we came across a woman who seemed tired and scared. She was in her car and she said that her son (who was apparently sleeping in his bed in a building not far from where we were standing) had to get up and get into the car with her because they had to go to France (I live in Switzerland). But he was not in the mood and he was a big bloke and she could not convince him/move him alone. So she wanted us to come with her, to her place and help her wake her son up and convince him to go to the car with her. We explained her that we would not be able to do that but that we could call the police if she needed us to.

When I was 19, I stopped at a convenience store late at night. Being female, I always have extra caution by myself, especially at night. I didn't even have a chance to get out of my car yet when I man knocked on my window. I cracked the window and said, "Yes?" He asked me if I could give him a ride to the mall down the street. I said no and he responded, "Why not? I'm not a serial killer or nothing." I looked him in the eyes and said, "How do you know I'm not?" The look on his face was priceless and he just backed away slowly from my window and scurried away.

Nothing violent or scary, but I do have two humourous interactions with strangers. Talked my guy, George, into going to this downtown bar after we'd been to the movies. He was more of a pub dude and we usually stuck to our locals. So, we settle in at a table near the door, drinks arrive, and I head to the washroom. Come back to my guy looking flabbergasted and talking to the waitress in an agitated state. People around him are laughing and shaking their heads. Turns out some guy came running in the door, grabbed George's pint of beer and ran out again! Gone in a flash with my man's beer, how rude! I'll share the other in another comment.

I was in 6th grade. I stepped off the school bus one day and a kid who got off just in front of me turns around and hits me in the face. With a broken broomstick. It put a hole in my cheek that turned into an off-center "dimple", but that s**t bled like crazy and hurt like a MFr. He was a 2nd grader, the little brother to one of my little brother's friends, but I didn't know him. I never did find out why he did it, either, other than being a little psychopath.

I was hit-and-run from behind on bicycles twice. One was while I was riding to work on a 4-lane highway, in the dark, while it was snowing. The shoulder was wide and clear and there was no reason for a car to come onto it. I ended up in a snow bank. My bike was mangled and I couldn't walk right for about a month. The other time was in broad daylight, on a bike path. I had noticed another bike gaining on me for a couple of minutes. As he got up to me, I moved to the side, but he ran into me anyway and knocked me way off the path, and kept going

I've only ever had this bizarre behaviour when travelling in EU/UK. I've never been treated badly in Africa. People here are generally respecful or polite. Even my mugger shook hands with me and had a conversation with me before demanding my phone. I have had abusive treatment at school but it was ALWAYS white kids. Sorry to say. I think when you are in a privileged class you assume you can get away with anything. Simple example, a few years ago a former colleague came to our office and robbed it. Laptops etc. Video footage, clear as day. Cops declined to get involved. Why? White male. Similarly at clubs etc. Whenever I am with female friends at clubs, it's ALWAYS a male causing trouble and ONLY black males get bounced. White males are only bounced if they ACTUALLY fight. Sexual harassment does not get them bounced. Black guy touches a white girl will definitely get bounced, no questions asked.

I assume the overt racism is part of the fun apartheid legacy. But I assure you this happens outside of the EU/ UK. I've been sexually harassed by a drunk man on the bus for example but the lovely bus conductor threw his a*s out. Middle aged Slavic women are tough.
