What is the weirdest most unwelcome interaction you've had from a stranger?

[OzoAndIndi]

(I want to ask what's the weirdest, most unwelcome thing forum members have experienced from a stranger, but that's another thread...)

Start one.

And yet I do not see this thread made, with perhaps a clarification of exactly what you mean. What are you doing with your life?

Ok then, it shall be done.

As stated, what's been one of your most unwelcome interactions with a stranger. In particular the kind of thing that weirds out the rest of your day.

[OzoAndIndi]

And you don't even share your own? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

>.> I was going to wait.. :P

Edit: Fine...

Was in a craft store, some odd guy who barely spoke any English (I guess..) supposedly seemed to be looking for paint for his niece. Not anything unusual, just orange or something like that, but I guess he only had the English word for it written down. (Communication issues in your family?)

So...he was was seeking my help and I politely helped point out the orange paint.

Then... just I dunno, wtf. You DON'T force a stranger into a hug! I was calmly horrified. Looked at another person not too far way like OMG HELP. Hell no I did not hug back. Just.. aak!!

Now I'm not sure if his paint issue was even real or he's just a weirdo going around hugging strangers.


Probably a year or so later I was in a book store and went down a aisle that happened to have more adult-oriented novels if you know what I mean... I thought I saw a man who looked like the same person and quickly got out of that aisle fearful I'd be asked for help with THOSE books. It prob wasn't him but who knows.. :\

>.> I was going to wait.. :P

lead by example I have no idea what you mean. I have never let a stranger affect my mood for an entire day.

Being hit on by a 30 year old grocer when I was 13. It was...ew.

and while this wasnt a total stranger, the theater program only lasted 2 months. Basically, I was Betty Boop dwarf of the 7 dwarves, and one of the guy teachers came in and whistled. Apparantly he was drunk off his ass and got fired later that night. This was when I was 12 xD

God, these bastards will follow you all the way to your class asking for donations if you don't tell them to go to hell right off the bat. I can deal with annoying strangers all day, but I can't deal with these morons. I mean look at it, they're even peddling GMO scare stuff on their website now. That's a definite downgrade from last year.

Oh, hey.

Once at a bar some big fat guy who had to be in his late 50's sat down next to me. He kept "accidentally" rubbing his hand against my leg and looking over at me giving me a creepy smile. After a couple minutes he laid a 50 dollar bill down on the bar in front of me and nodded towards the bathroom, and he got up and went to the bathroom while looking back at me the whole time smiling (I'm a guy btw). I debated taking the 50 and quick leaving, but I just decided to quick leave the bar and leave the money there so that I couldn't somehow be blamed for theft.

I remember when a good friend of mine was talking to me on the phone about her boyfriend when we were 13, found out through the newspaper that the guy was like 35 (and a serial pedophile)...she ended up going off to "camp" for awhile after that.

Then there was this guy who was a friend of a friend when I was in high school...he very nonchalantly started talking about his 12 year old girlfriend at the time, he was 19.

Man, being young was kindof scary sometimes.

Homeless people seem drawn to me, whether it's to ask for directions to the nearest brothel or alleyway (and offering me a "go" as payment, blergh), trying to kiss me on the neck for some reason or hitting on whoever happens to be with me at the time (has ranged from nieces and nephews to people in their 60s) I seem to bring out the worst in them and far too often at that. I should really start telling them to fuck off much earlier in the conversation or scowl more.

I work in a liquor store part time at night in the "bad" part of town. It takes a lot for a situation with a stranger to be totally weird. I've had one though. We nicknamed this guy who comes in regularly Buffalo Bob, like in Silence of the Lambs, because one he resembles him on tons of levels and is ultra creepy. He has a dangley silver and turquoise earring and a short grey pony tail. We live in a college town, our store is not far from there so we get lots of college folk milling about the area going home from the bus etc.

One day while in our drive through and Bob says the creepiest shit ever to me. He normally doesn't ever speak beyond the necessary commercial transaction pleasantries of "How much?" and "have a nice day." But this day he decided to open up to me for some weird reason. Two young college girls walk past the drive through in front of his car and he without breaking eye focus on them says nonchalantly to me "Look at all these young flowers. I'd sure like to taste their sweet nectar." In the most calm monotone voice ever. After 6 years working here it takes a lot to literally stun me. I was stunned into total silence. I handed him his change he drove off. As I stood torn between the desire to call someone....not sure who...and report this overtly terrifying behavior to someone. And not piss myself laughing. I've had people flash guns to me etc and never once have I been scared/stunned/shocked totally silent.

To this day it stands as the creepiest thing said at the store. You kind of have to see the guy and his creepy cars. He has a truck with a camper shell and brush guard with BLACKED out windows. Like limo tent. That truck is always totally clean, like how you'd think Dexter leaves a kill room clean. Its hard to get across exactly, but yeah that was creepy other than that just your usual shit that never bugs me.

If he was foreign, it may just be the way they do it in their country or the only way he felt he had to express his gratitude, since he apparently doesn't speak English. We have an extremely large conversational distance in the United States (something like 2') and many other countries have much, much smaller distances as well as more casual physical contact in a variety of roles.

Yeah, could be, and someone suggested it back when it happened. If you're gonna move to another country, trying to get an idea of the culture is a good thing first. o.O

I've had multiple gay men call me ugly. It's not necessarily "unwelcome" but its a little odd.

Edit... Engrish.

[Ghaleon]

Sort of similar to yours hugged by some random guy i helped he was from i think indonesia, didn't bother me too bad though more of a oh well moment.

[v2prwsmb45yhuq3wj23vpjk]

My friend and I were propositioned for sex by a girl because she didn't have gas money and we were the cashiers.

The words were literally "You guys ever gangbang a bitch for five bucks?"

Fucking no. We were too shocked to do anything besides say "No." and just stare. She kept on asking "Really?" a few times, like it'd be totally normal for us to go into the back and gangbang her.

Not really a stranger, but a co-worker kept telling me about his hemorrhoids.

[Radio]

I've had a crazy dude come up to me on the street before and tell me a fragmented half baked conspiracy thingie then walk off. No matter how much I thought about it what he said didn't make any sense at all.

[Vorality]

In an incident for me, not SUPER weird, but made me think about how dumb I was for weeks ---

I was working at a golf course, and my Dad was a very popular guy their, thus, making everyone know me. I'm a very shy person, and don't really have amazing interpersonal skills. One day a friend of my Dad's comes up to me and says "Hey Clay, How's it going"? I panicked because I had no idea who the guy was, but he knew me and I said "How's it going!" I gave him no damn answer and said the exact same thing right back. Was so embarrassing. Lol.

[Ezekiah]

Sex proposition for me as well. Very short, stout women in the ghetto I live in comes around every once in a while, obviously street walking. One day I'm outside smoking and she comes up to me and asks what I'm doing. So I tell her I'm smoking and doing some homework upstairs. There's about a 3 second pause.

"Well I'm just out here trying to suck me some dick and make some money."

And this was followed by about another three second pause, and then I said "good luck with that," put out my cigarette and went inside.

Very rarely do people confront me out of the blue... but one time while walking back from the gym, a bunch of teens shouted from their window "little man syndrome!" I wasn't offended, kinda chuckled as I am 5'5" 182 lbs.

[Randec]

Hmm, I have a few.

One day I'm sitting on my porch, cleaning dog poo off my shoes. At the time I'm renting a crappy apartment in a "bad" neighborhood. I hear someone say "ROAAARRRRR", pronouncing it almost just like that. Like they're pretending to be a dragon or a dinosaur. I look up just in time to see a dude on a bike, most likely a drunk or drug addict judging by his appearance, run right into our dumpster. He goes over the handlebars and doesn't even do anything to stop himself from falling or anything. Just doesn't even react. He gets up and without even looking at me pedals away.

In that same neighborhood I'm out for a walk late at night. I see wet cement and I decide to double back at some point and write my name and my girlfriends name in the sidewalk. I'm walking the opposite way of a really big fat woman. Shortly after I pass her, I turn around and double back. This freaks her out. She thinks I'm following her. She calls to imaginary people across the street, saying "I'll be right there!" and crosses the street, then gets on her cell phone. She thought I was trying to rape her or something. What can I do at this point? Call out after her? I felt guilty.

My ex was from Memphis and we moved into and rented her grandmother's home after her grandmother went to a retirement home. She knew one of the girls who lived down the road from her grandmother when she used to hang out there as a kid. She met her again when we moved back years later her friend had really changed. She thought it was cool to be ghetto and hood or whatever. We went out to hang out with some of her friends. They were Gangster's Disciples. They lived in frasier, a really bad neighborhood. We're all just hanging out drinking and whatever. Everybody seems pretty nice, but I'm pretty intimidated. This neighborhood had a bad reputation and I didn't know these dudes were in a gang when I agreed to go there and hang out. People have guns in their pants clearly visible. Everybody in the neighborhood is out on the porch or in the front yard because it's a warm night. We're hanging in one dude's front yard named Tiny. Tiny is actually huge. Tiny's step dad walks out holding a near empty half gallon of rum. Not a fifth. A half gallon. He walks up to me and my girlfriend. Now, bear in mind I'm the only white guy in sight. I stick my hand out to shake his and say "hi, how's it going tonight sir?" He takes a step back, wide eyed, and yells purposefully so that everyone on the block can hear him " Who are you callin a (N Word)!!!" Everybody looks at me and one of the dudes who knew my girlfriend's friend threw his arm around my shoulders like we were friends and put another hand up like saying no don't. Then tiny throws his arm around his step dad and in one swift motion takes the bottle out of his hand and drags him inside. I guess the very next day, one of the dudes, "pookie" got shot in the head answering his door.

Some dude pulled a knife on me in a walmart parking lot because I talked some shit to him. I was there with my buddy's girlfriend and there was an old biker dude in line with us. He started making really rude sexual comments to her and I told him to fuck off, and then I made fun of him for being old, even though he was really tall and big. He says he's going to stab me or whatever and I look at the clerk and he just looks back at me really scared and wide eyed. The old dude walks away first and I go up to pay for my stuff. When the old dude (and when I say old probably 45 or 50) is out of earshot the clerk says he's going to call the police. I walk out into the parking lot and tell the girl I'm with to just hang out inside and wait for me to give the go ahead. I see him like one row of cars over and he pulls out a knife and opens it and talks some shit. He gets in a car and backs away. I motion for the girl to come out and we leave.

I'm from Michigan and we're on a high school trip to Toronto. We stopover in Windsor and try to buy some smokes. We're 18 at the time, the age you have to be to buy cigs in the US. But in Canada apparently you have to be 19. Cigs there are also 10 dollars a pack and have pictures of cancer and diseased lungs on them, but I digress. So we can't buy smokes for ourselves, we decide to ask a homeless dude to do it for us, in exchange for some cash. He agrees. We're walking to the store and this really obese guy walks up to us. I'm a fat guy myself but this guy is like barely move fat. He has a flyer in his hand and he says something like "excuse me, sir" (to the homeless guy) "you look mexican and I'm trying to find these four mexican guys who jumped my brother." The dude we're walking with is a white guy and his skin is tanned and damaged from apparently spending a lot of time outdoors and a hard life. He jumps up and starts kicking and punching the air, and karate striking, and making kung fu noises. He yells " I'm not a *bleeping* Mexican" and other stuff, he's really upset and threatening the dude, saying he knows karate. They talk it out, with our help, and we all walk to the store together, both of them pantomiming various kung fu moves, karate chops, etc, and exchanging bullshit about their fighting skills as we go. When we get back to the rest of the class who was nearby they all were asking my friend and I who those two guys were. Apparently they saw us walking with a homeless dude and really fat guy with flyers both doing kung fu moves.

One time I'm at a party I walk into my friend's bathroom. There's this REALLY wasted, REALLY HOT girl in there. She slams the door behind me and starts staggering around and trying to talk to me. I say excuse me but I need to use the bathroom. She says something to the effect of "go ahead", which is the weirdest pick up line in history I think. That, combined with the fact that it would have been pretty rapey for me to bang her in that bathroom in her state of extreme drunkeness led me to just pee in front of her and leave. Bear in mind, I'm not a good looking guy and she's way out of my league. She's upset I'm not more receptive to her "advances".

When I was a kid, like 10, I saw a movie and this kid was trying to pee in the movie but he had a boner. He said "just think of baseball, just think of baseball" and then he was able to pee. I didn't know why it was supposed to be funny, so when I was peeing in urinals and there was an adult next to me I'd look up at the wall and say "just think of baseball, just think of baseball". I got a lot of really weird and disapproving looks, and one really creepy, eager smile. I only understand how creepy it was now that I understand the joke.
