People are really bizarre creatures. Although we usually blame cats for being the world’s biggest weirdos, honestly, we don’t fall far behind.

You see, we all have small rituals and odd quirks we do when feeling comfortable enough that nobody is watching, and if anyone asked why, we would probably be short of words.

So when a Redditor asked “What's the strangest thing you've ever been caught doing?” on AskReddit, the thread was destined to become a source of entertainment. And more. You know how people can’t stop cringing when watching 50 Day Fiance or The Bachelor? You are likely to feel similarly when reading through the most interesting responses we selected right below.

"What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) My ex-girlfriend once caught me playing her cat like a banjo. I had the cat's front paws in my hand, and I strummed his tummy. The cat was purring so loud that it made her come in to see what was going on.

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) I was called in to assist my wife with putting together a friend's baby shower when her helper bailed at the last minute. My job was to prep the "dirty diaper game" which, if you've not heard of it, is played like this: an assortment of name brand candy bars and chocolates are unwrapped and then mushed into a diaper so as to resemble a baby's dirty diaper. The game participants then assess the contents of each "dirty" diaper and have a guess at what candy bar might be lurking within. Whoever has the most correct answers wins.

    Because I was called in at the last minute, I had to complete the task while at work...

    So there I was, in my office, fifteen or so diapers laying open on my desk, sleeves rolled up, hurriedly rolling what appeared to be a gooey, nutty turd in my hands...when my boss walks in.

    We make eye contact.

    He glances at my work, looks at me as though I am dangerously unstable, then slowly steps back out of the office without saying a word.

    We've never spoken of it.

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) I picked up a pizza and was super excited to eat it. I put it in the passenger seat of my car and said something along the lines of, 'I'm gonna take you home and [mess] you up!' I then realized that my window was open, and so was the window of the car next to me. The driver had watched and heard me talk dirty to a pizza.

    If you’re a fan of popular reality shows, I don’t need to tell you how secondhand embarrassment feels. This phenomenon is often followed by uncontrollable cringe, an immediate tense in the body as if you were ready to evacuate it, aka “get outta here.” Reading these stories may too give you this feeling, and if they did, the chances are you’re far from the only one.

    So you may wonder what exactly happens to us and our brains when we feel embarrassed for someone else. Emma Azzopardi, a psychotherapist and developing clinical psych, argues that our experience of secondhand embarrassment tells us much more about ourselves than we’d think. Turns out, it is related to our ability to empathize with the embarrassment or shame that another might feel, she told Refinery29.

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) When I bought my first pair of night vision goggles, I had them delivered to the TV station I worked at (not trusting my neighbors to leave my [stuff] alone).

    So, I took a break and tried them out in the only truly dark room I could find. The mens room.

    A coworker came in, flicked on the lights, and was startled to find me in the middle of the room, blinded by the sudden flash of normal light, brushing my teeth in the pitch dark with night vision goggles.

    I had to go talk to HR about it. He was freaked out.

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) Me, newlywed to my then-husband. Had to leave our apartment and move in with his somewhat disabled mother. Two weeks in, he and I are having sexy times in our bedroom. Specifically, hes going downtown and eating at the Y. MIL knocks and immediately opens the door, saying "dinners on the table!". Awkward pause. Everyone freezes. His face is buried in my crotch. She stands shock still, then huffs, and says "Well, I see you've already eaten," slams the door and goes away.

    We giggle, recoup, and go to eat. Most awkward meal of my life.

    Fang_Jolima , Jonathan Petersson Report

    "As social animals, empathy is a key trait that evolved to help us to be part of a community and to live harmoniously within it. We recognize embarrassing situations for others through neural pathways activated in the anterior cingulate cortex and the left anterior insula regions of the brain. These are regions implicated in the experiencing of 'social pain' related to the situations that others, rather than us, find themselves in. It is these same cortical structures that are involved in the mental responses we would have if we witness the physical pain of another person."

    Driving my car through traffic. Have little trial sized hand lotion in my center console and my hands are dry-ish so I dispense the recommended amount and start rubbing it in. Traffic moves and I have to steer, accidentally get some lotion on my steering wheel. Which is leather. Now the part I touched is shiny and the rest isn't. Don't like the way that looks so I dispense more lotion and start working it into the leather. Now, this makes the rest of the leather bits look dull and pretty soon I am all in with this, lotioning whatever I can reach. Casually glance to my left left and there is a car full of people staring directly at me, eyes wide, as i thoroughly massage the interior of my vehicle like some sort of Buffalo Bill esqe auto enthusiast.

    Late to the party but here goes.

    When I was ten or eleven I snuck a certain magazine I was fairly interested in into the bathroom. I spent way too long in there with it. On my way out I heard a lot of noise outside the bathroom. So I decided to hide the mag under my shirt in front of my chest. Exiting the bathroom I had to pass by the living room in which my father and all his siblings were siting in. Three aunt’s and an uncle. He shouted for me as I passed by, “Hey get back here! What’s under your shirt?”

    I walked back slowly, head held low. He reached into my shirt in front of everyone and grabbed the magazine. The look of confusion on his and everyone else’s faces when he produced the Nintendo Power was priceless.

Realizing that I was not circling in the right direction for the 'wing' I had and reversing to circle oppositewise. Saying "Flying in circles the wrong way."

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) It was 3am and 15 year old me was taking a [poop] and got a blood nose. Now for context, I get real bad nose bleeds and usually just keep my head up and it goes away. Well I was bored. So I thought, “what if I just keep my head down and let it drip?” I know... very stupid. Blood was all over the floor. I had every intent to just clean it up with tissues and flush it, no evidence of my little experiment. What I didnt know was that my mum was actually awake and was waiting for me to finish in the toilet for her turn. I didnt lock the door because it was 3am and I didnt think I needed to. Well... she opens the door... “SemenDemon16 why are you taking so l-“ She sees the blood, starts freaking tf out. Thinks I’m either dead or dying. I start yelling trying to explain myself. Mum starts crying thinking shes gonna lose her son. My sister walks out her room from the crying and the yelling. Sees the blood. Freaks tf out as well. After a bit of panic I eventually explained my stupid experiment. I cleaned it up and we all went to bed. But I dont think anybody slept after that traumatic experience.

Made awkward eye contact and I scurried out and did not return until he was gone. Thankfully, he never brought it up.

    "What's The Strangest Thing You've Ever Been Caught Doing?" (35 Answers) One time my girlfriend and I had just left the house. She then remembered she needed something and went back in. Now, our house (Golders Green, London), was semi-detached with the neighbours house.

    The neighbours motorbike was kind of in our shared front yard. Since I was waiting for my girlfriend, I decided to sit on the motorbike.

    I heard the front door of the house close behind me, so, trying to be funny for my girlfriend, I leaned over the tank of the motorbike and started pretending to rev the throttle and making Vrrooom, Vroom motorbike noises. Like, really getting into it. I didn't hear any laughing, so I turned around and it was actually my neighbour standing there with this wtf look on his face.

    As a pet sitter, sometimes you get lonely when the majority of your interactions are with animals. Sooo, to combat this I sometimes pretend to be the inner voice of whatever dog I'm walking, responding out loud to whatever they're sniffing or whatever grabs their attention. Each dog has his/her own weird voice as well. More than once people have walked around a corner to hear me doing this.

    Found a stray cat hanging out in my apartment complex. Decided it would be a great idea to sit on the ground next to him and meow to him. He meowed back each time, so he and I just sat on the sidewalk together having a "conversation" for quite some time. Eventually I even picked him up and carried him around with me on my way to the complex laundry room. Passed by several people who either gave me a "this dude is definitely high" look or just kinda giggle at me. Nothing embarassing about this situation really, I just know me in my PJ's talking to a very dirty, dusty stray cat may have looked... weird.

    I think he and I had a great conversation, though.

    I stopped at a store to buy a baby-shower gift and coffee supplies. Without thinking, I bought just three items: (1) a bag of sugar, (2) a bag of coffee beans, and (3) a breast pump.

    At a 7-Eleven, about 2am, several years ago, I was buying a pack of cigarettes, a pack of condoms and a candy bar. I didn't have enough money and had to get my lady friend to give me a dollar.

    One time my (then) girlfriend's mom caught me pissing in her kitchen sink when I was bombed out on Ambien. I had no recollection of it the next morning.

    Oh yeah, Ambien can be really obnoxious! It’s not uncommon for me to wake up in the morning and wonder, “What the heck is wrong with my stomach?” And then I walk out to the living room, and find evidence that I’d eaten something really weird. The weirdest so far was the morning I woke up to a bowl half-filled with tuna (liberally salted and peppered), goldfish crackers, Raisin Bran, and milk. I didn’t eat much that day. 🙄

    I once was walking to a store while smoking a cigarette. It was only about half gone, but not wanting to litter I scraped it across the ground and tossed it in a half empty trash can. As it goes in I catch a glimpse of it still smoking and go to check it so I'm not responsible for a potential fire.



    People walked by right after I waited for a moment and smelled directly in the trash can for any signs of burning. Yes, I did quit smoking after.

    After I graduated highschool my parents took me to a fancy Brazilian barbecue place. You had these little wooden dowels that were green on one side and red on the other. Now they would come bearing very well cooked meat. Obviously I ate way too much.

    So much in fact I woke up sweating at almost three in the morning. Now having too much meat in your stomach is like having a heavy solid weight stuck in your stomach. Now my sleep addled brain decided the best idea to get rid of this heavy meat ball in my stomach was to move. And that is the story of how my mother found me dancing very seriously at 3 in the morning.

    Rewiring a microwave to go past its automatic shutoff temperatures to make neat rocks and glass out of rocks I found in the backyard.

    It wasn’t my family’s microwave, and my friend wasn’t home at the time. His father just stared at me, as I and his kitchen were covered in clay and pumice dust. And in his microwave. His only microwave.

    My friend was due back from the hardware store in five minutes. Those were some very uncomfortable minutes.

    When we were in our twenties, a good song came on the radio and I was trying to make my brother dance to it. I put my hands on his shoulders and was moving him back and forth. My parents saw this and had a strange look on their faces. I asked what was wrong and they said 'we thought you were choking him'. Guess I should learn better dance moves.

    My friends and I did some questionably gay pranks back in the day as pubescent boys. Moon infront of the tv screen, stuff like that.

    One day I snuck into my friends room (he had glass doors to the front yard) and got ready. I got naked and put on a sombrero, and equipped my pecker in the wide end of a vuvuzela. Laid in his bed in wait...

    Few minutes later his mom walks in during a family function. I was mortified, she either didn’t notice or just ignored it and walked out. Was I caught? Too afraid to ask.

    I forget which one it was, I believe it was Foster Dad John, he'd foster litters of kittens and had a live stream going. So obviously being kittens, 18+ hours a day it was just a steady video of them sleeping, but it was entertaining as hell when they actually were active.

    I'd be in my basement typical college room programming, and have this live stream of kitties on my other monitor and my roommates would come in to ask me about dinner or heading to later classes or something like that, I'm there with code pulled up on one side, text books all over, and then a random live feed of some dude's living room on the other side. A decade later every time I talk to them they don't let me live it down. It was soothing, doing math and programming homework I needed some random kitties to keep me company but couldn't adopt one of my own so I'd bring that up.

    I had a coworker who looked a lot like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. I mentioned it to him once, and he said he gets that a lot.

    I got to talking to him about Beef Jerky, and how I had recently tried it for the first time. I explained that I wanted to try it because it’s probably the closest human equivalent to dog treats.

    “Of course I never will, but I’ve always been curious about eating dog treats...”

    ...and just as I finish that sentence, the general manager walks by and catches the end of what I had just said. I preceded to laugh and walk away because I love when people walk-in on conversations at the most confusing possible moment.

    I was working nights at this liquor store. I step outside and hit my pipe and get high AF... then I go back in and I get to stocking shelves.

    Well, high ass me, for a reason I still do not understand, got Jewel's "You were meant for me" stuck in my head. I have no idea why... this was in like 2004 long after Jewel's career had peeked and faded...

    Anyway, I'm all stoned and singing Jewel... loudly... while stocking the cooler when I decide to have fun with it and sing it almost as though it was a Youtube apology video.

    So now I'm cry-singing Jewel's "You were meant for me" at the top of my lungs, when a customer pops their head around the corner and says, "Um... are you open... and are... are you OK?"

    Apparently our door beeper had gone on the fritz...

    I tried to explain I was just stoned and effing around... but they were having none of it and continued to look at me as though I'd lost my damn mind, not just for the remainder of that transaction, but since they were a regular for years after.

    Rummaging through my (then-boyfriend) ex's laundry basket looking for his ID card and getting caught by his roommate. Iirc, I was caught holding his pants with a "I-can-explain" expression.

    I had a spare hour between classes and he didn't have his ID card, meaning he'd have to walk home after work instead of riding the bus. So I rode the bus to his house, got his ID, then got back in time for class.

    It's funny that I can laugh about this and feel nothing for him now. I'm healing and I'm happy.

    I hopped out the shower one day and was inexplicably overcome with the desire to see if I could balance upside down on my head. I use to do it all the time growing up. Guess I wanted to know if I still had it.

    The thing is, this desire had to be sated immediately. Even before I threw on some clothes. So I drop my towel, flip on top of my head and start balancing like the good old days. Even held my arms out by my side to try it hands free.

    Out of no where my mother and ex gf burst into my room (without knocking with their rude asses) and get a face full of me upside down, naked in what can only be described as a reverse T stance. They screamed, I laughed and I think I clipped through the ground a bit due to s**t collision

    During summer camp, I was caught in the girls lavatory.

    There were only 2 toilets in each facility, and two camp counselors endlessly monopolized the men's (I waited at least 20 minutes, and they were still in there).

    Since I was desperate to go, I used the girl's because there was no one around - that is, until I came out, and got caught.

    I wash my booty hole every day and I dry it with the pair of underwear from the previous day after I get out of the shower. That way none of my towels are [butt]-towels where someone's face might go someday. Call me weird. One time my ex walked in on me in the middle of standing Captain Morgan'd on the side of the tub, wiping my [butt] with my underwear and immediately accused me of "cleaning" my [butt] with my underwear. Took a month to convince her that wasn't the case and get her to stop making fun of me for it.

    Gross. If you wash well enough then it won’t matter if you use the same towel but if this is a quirk if yours, get dedicated butt towels. You just showered. Don’t rub dirty underwear anywhere on your freshly cleaned body.

    My oldest son does impressions in the mirror ALL the time. He also likes to pace and have conversations with himself. It started when he was six and he is sixteen now, and still does this. He calls them his imagination talks. It bothers my husband, but not me. He explained to me that he puts himself in a movie or show he just watched, but not as any of the characters. He creates his own character, and then proceeds to come up with his own lines. I swear, between the impressions he does (and they've gotten REALLY good) he'll either be a screen writer or an actor who is really good at improv.
