30 Times Strangers Passing By Said The Weirdest Things Many years ago while waiting outside a restaurant in New York City with my husband, his sister, and her husband, this lady came up to me and said "I love your coat, where'd you get it?"

After I told her I got it from a thrift store, she started excitedly saying stuff like "I think that coat is designer, you could probably sell it for a lot of money, I'd love a coat like this" etc., and the whole time she was grabbing different parts of the coat and examining them like she was appraising it or whatever, and then she suddenly just quit and walked off without saying another word.

I'm pretty sure she was just trying to distract me while she looked for my purse or searched my pockets or something but the joke was on her because I wasn't carrying a purse and my husband had everything in his pockets so there was nothing to take lol.

This happened to me many years ago. And on a side note, I'm a natural red head. Right after I turned 18 I moved to Flagstaff, AZ. The very next day I was standing in my open garage with a few friends when an older Navajo man (heavily intoxicated) wandered across the parking lot towards us. He grabbed my arm and started pulling me away. Then he said very seriously, "I am going to take you. I'm going to braid your hair and I'm going to scalp you". My friends had to step in to get him to let go of me and leave. Fun times in Flag.

"Hey, little girl, wanna see some maggots?" I was doing an ER rotation at a level I trauma center. Stepped away from the trauma bays to go to the regular rooms. A homeless, repeat visitor had severe gangrene in both legs and he was advised several times he'd need his legs amputated. He'd come in, get the maggots pulled out, get his legs cleaned up as much as possible, then take off. Everytime the nurse who was chosen to clean his legs pulled out a maggot, you'd hear her scream behind the closed door.

Those maggots were doing good work cleaning up all the dead and diseased tissue. You just have to get them before they burrow in and pupate. We didn't use them for debridement often, but man were they good at it (and gross). Hospitals use the tiny ones and you have to count them one-by-one when you're removing them. Trust me, you haven't questioned your life choices until you've chased a tiny off-white wiggler around a white sheet with a pair of cheap plastic tweezers.

I was excited to be able to finally be able to purchase an R rated movie ticket on my own. Took my sister to watch Nightmare on Elm Street IV. There was hardly anyone else in the theater, but the guy a few rows back suddenly exclaimed "I told you not to talk to me in public because nobody else can see you and it makes me look crazy". It was obviously a mentally ill homeless guy, so we did our best to ignore it as he continued to converse with what seemed like an invisible alien. But afterwards he seemed to keep trying to follow us to my car. So we pretended we forgot something back at the theater and needed to go ask about lost-and-found. The manager distracted him long enough for us to leave unfollowed.

A woman in the subway scared me (and others) by freaking out and shrieking at me, “YOU HAVE A BLACK AURA! LOOK! SHE HAS A BLACK AURA!” It was that day that I realized that not everyone who speaks to you is okay and that we didn’t necessarily inspire them to say what they say; some people have mental illnesses causing them to say things, and there’s not actually anything wrong with you!

Going for my train home after a comic con in Glasgow, I'm wearing a Star Trek uniform, I've got a Star Trek teddy bear in my arms, and some random lady grabs my sleeve and asks if I work in the station.

To those of you who are literate in non-English languages, can you tell me if other languages are devolving in the same way English is; i.e. are correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and structure fading away?

Yes, same, but I suppose it's always been like this, language evolves/devolves very quickly.

I got off the bus with my daughter, along with a few other people, and proceeded to an intersection. Some guy ran up to me, shouting "Hey, hello." Then, took a better look at me and said "Whoa. Sorry, I thought you were someone else. But they're not THAT ugly. Geez." and walked away in the opposite direction. I was having a good day, but that was so random and unnecessary.

Working as a stock person at Target in the 80s, a Middle Eastern or Indian man (I couldn't tell back then) came up to me. He was wearing a very expensive, out of style suit. He walked up to me and with no preliminaries said, "You will marry me," exactly that way. I replied, "No, I will not." And I turned around and kept working. He had a very large guy with him that struck me as being a bodyguard. They both just walked off.

Oh, I also had a rather large homeless man, known in the area as "Big Mike", tell me that I would look good with two black eyes.

I was in West Hollywood on my lunch break when this street-walker sat across from me, took a cigarette out of my pack, looked me in the eyes, and asked, "So, what happened to you, Vicky?" He switched between several personae as we talked, including a Southern preacher character. At one point, he claimed the ring I was wearing was his. It was the first of several strange encounters with this boy who called himself, "Madonna."

When I was living in Philly and walking around one night with a friend, this homeless dude in an overcoat comes up to us and says to my friend, "hey, you wanna buy some rock?! How 'bout some roofies for your girlfriend?" My friend almost punched him, but the dude was pretty spry and he ran off.

Some woman came up to me and asked me what HER phone number was. I said I didn't know. She said "YES YOU DO, TELL ME!". 20 minutes of unwanted arguing ensued.

I was in high school getting in my class when a girl who was leaving it stopped walking, looked at me head to toes, and screamed : "Oh my god you are so ugly !" and walked away. I've never been more confused ever since.

We have a guy who has mental health issues who wanders past work regularly. One day he stopped by the fence tell me wee oo wee oo, I'm a fire engine. The next day he was a radio station. The kids think he's fantastic.

Ever since I read about the serial killer that had a handcuff set up in his console, I’ve given major second thoughts to ever getting in a car with a stranger.

A probably unstable woman on the subway said she had a message for me from God. He says I need to rest more. I agree.
