So my car refused to start after I had stopped on the side of the road in some little town whose name I couldn't remember, and things were looking kind of grim. Dark streets, no open stores, and not a single human being in sight. And my cellphone wasn't giving me a signal.
Great.
After about a half-hour of fidgeting, whispered prayers, and nervously trying to figure out what was wrong under the hood, I managed to get my car to start. That was when out of nowhere (literally, like stepping out of the damn darkness) there came a young man wearing a red hockey Jersey, limping along with a cane. This guy had all kinds of scars on his face and his head, which were easily visible due to his crewcut.
As he hobbled towards me, I just sort of stood there, trying my best to look calm, despite the unusual circumstances. When he was in talking distance, he asked me if I had any smokes. In Spanish.
I said that I don't smoke. He then asked me if I was "selling", which I took to mean pushing. I said that I did not, in fact, sell anything. He seemed kind of surprised by this, so I wondered if I wasn't stranded on some kind of well-known drug corner, looking for all the world like a local dealer.
At this point he came closer, and asked me if I could buy him some cigarettes from the nearest gas station, which was actually visible from where we were. Before I could tell him that I was in a rush to get going, he shoved a ten dollar bill and an ID into my hand that told me that he was an Army veteran. I wasn't sure what the ID was for, but then he said "Please, if you could get me some Newports..." in perfect English.
I nodded dumbly, got in my car, and drove up to the gas station to buy his cigarettes. I wasn't even sure why I was doing it. But I did make sure to leave the car running so that it wouldn't quit on me again.

That was a rather odd night in general. |

So one day, sitting there, an elderly African American man gets on, and as we ride, I notice a patch on his shoulder of his jacket, it's the Vietnam POW/MIA logo. So I ask him if he had a relative get lost. He replies that no, he was the one who was captured, and proceeded to tell me about how he had been tortured and just how bad it was. As he got off the bus, he handed me a POW/MIA pin and told me that I'd learned something valuable today. I never saw him again. |

Anonymous 11/22/08(Sat)23:47 No.3046418Brother of my college roommate was in Chicago's SCA, and had finished a full-body (including neck) leather hauberk. Which he was wearing under normal clothing to break in before he went to show it off. He's walking along, and someone grabs him from behind and pulls a knife across his neck (presumably to rob him). It neatly slices the hauberk, but barely touches his neck. He turns around, completely pissed off, and glares at the slasher punk, who freaks out and takes off running. Like an idiot, he chases after the guy. And because he's a worse fa/tg/uy than most, he starts shouting "VENGEANCE OF ODIN! ... VENGEANCE OF ODIN!" as he pursues. Even though he's in decent enough shape, the guy gets away (probably for the best). A police report is filed, time passes. |

None of this really bothered me (I just thought they were really tall), but some older kid grabs me by the shoulder, walks me away about 10 feet, and tells me twice that these chicks were definitely men. |

I step out of the way and see it's some guy in an electric wheel chair pass. He says thank you and I say your welcome. We both get to the crosswalk, and it lights up. He gets midway before his chair dies. I know I can't just leave the guy there, so I stop next to him and stop traffic that would come our way until he get's it going again. He thanks me again, and vrooms off. I'm pretty sure I didn't need to stay there with him, but who knows if some asshole had not paid attention and splattered him because I didn't make sure people saw what was going on? |

Anonymous 11/23/08(Sun)14:07 No.3049066I was in the city/town of Sundsvall yesterday, I was accompanying my girlfriend on a gospel tour, and was also drafted as a singer, as we didn't have many male vocalists, anyway, the metal band Sabaton had a live show the same evening, so after the sermon we went over there, paid like 20 bucks apiece to get in, and watched the show. Anyway, there was this really strange middle-to-old-aged man playing air guitar and boxing the air, and some time during the ned of the show he walked up to me and my girlfriend (we were standing on an elevated spot near one of the walls, she's pretty short), and he started doing these weird moves with his outstreched hands; something between groping and random spellcasting fingermoves (at least how I would picture them in a fantasy world) while staring at my girlfriend, so she pulled herself to me and started making out with me like mad, and he just went back while shouting that I had a great girl, and that I should never break up with her. |

Papa Bear 11/23/08(Sun)14:23 No.3049154*I spent the night at a friend's place. Brought a jacket, some video games, snacks and a Play Station controller. The next day, a Sunday, I start walking home around ten in the morning and see an old lady walking her dogs so I say "Good morning." The old bitch just stared at me like a sprouted a dong from my forehead and ran inside. Whatever, I thought maybe she's just not used to teenagers being polite. So I continue on my way. |

Anonymous 11/23/08(Sun)14:46 No.3049267I think I WAS a random encounter once. I was on a scavenger hunt with some friends one time for school, and at some of the locations we were supposed to go to there were upperclassmen who would have us do some random task. We would have to go dance with random people, or sing at them, or invite them to do the limbo, etc. In one instance, on the steps of a museum, we had to act out an elaborate dinosaur battle. It must have all looked very random for people just going about their day... |

Anonymous 11/23/08(Sun)15:59 No.3049653Once as I was driving back from a friend's house late at night using some back roads that were deserted at this time, I saw something bizarre. I saw a trash can on the side of the road vanish into thin air, then reappear further down the road. I did a double take and slowed the car to confirm that I wasn't just seeing things, but everything seemed to check out. Nothing in the place where the can was, and there was the can fifty feet from its original position. There was a mailbox between them so it could not have been an optical illusion. |

Anonymous 11/23/08(Sun)16:05 No.3049681Two friends of mine were playing this finger-fighting game thing (I don't know what it's called, you basically clasp hands with another person with your index finger pointing out and try to poke them before they do likewise), and this dude walks up and inquires what's going on. My one friend begins explaining, and the guy mutters something like "fuck that pussy shit" and, as we stare incredulously, he then asks for some money so that he can buy some fried rice from a nearby Chinese place. All of us (me, two guys, one girl) were rather agitated with this dude's demeanor so we refrained from giving him anything. He continued hassling us for a while until the rest of our group came out of the Chinese place with their food, and we said we had to go. |

Anonymous 11/23/08(Sun)16:22 No.3049745This happened last year, when I was a freshmen in college. My father picks me up one weekend because he hasn't seen me for several months and misses me something terrible. We're going to New York City to visit some art museums, which is something that the both of us enjoy, being the enlightened gentlemen that we are. We visit every museum that we're interested in by Saturday, so we have Sunday to just enjoy the city. We're on the subway and this homeless woman gets on. It's obvious that she's homeless, not by the clothing that she wears or the smell that wafts from her, but by the madness that burns in her eyes; the woman was crazy in a scary way. Young, too, poor thing. |
