Weirdest strangers you've talked to

[agent817]

A few years ago, I was riding on a bus home and this strange guy started talking to me. Wait, let me back up a bit. He started talking to me at the bus stop before getting on the bus. He happened to ride on the same bus as I did. He asked me some questions on where or who I live with, what am I studying, if I work, if I have a girlfriend, all that stuff. I thought it was sort of random as he was someone I don't know. I never saw him again after that, but the girl who was sitting near me was telling me that he was hitting on me. I wasn't sure about that once she told me. He did seem weird. He had a bit of high voice, but not all gay guys talk that way, but looking back, I can kind of see that.

Just remembered these two that happened 9-10 years back:

1. A friend and I went to a Waffle House at 2 or so in the morning, we sat at the counter and ordered, after our food was brought to us, the cook came over to us and started talking, he pointed to a waitress and said "I do her every night when we go on break. you guys want to watch tonight?" We politely decline and he says "You sure? The truckers always want to watch." Again we decline, and he yells over to the waitress "nah. they don't want to watch." After that he just started talking about football until we left.

2. When I was a senior in high school one of my friends heard that there was going to be a hotel party, so about 10 of us went out in search of it. Where it was supposed to be was a run down motel, so we were walking around trying to figure out where this party was happening, when this rough looking black dude stops us and tries to sell us drugs and this is how the conversation went:

Guy: Hey. Hey. You tryin' to smoke?
My friend: Maybe, what do you got?
Guy: What you want?
My friend: I don't know; a dime.
Guy: A DIME?!
My friend: yeah.
Guy: Alls I got is a fifty pound bag.
My friend: Nah, that's too much.
Guy: Alright then.(he walks off)

Later a guy fitting his description tried to rob the McDonalds across the street from the motel and when they searched his room they found a ridiculous amount of drugs, guns, and money. He also had previously robbed the same motel where he lived.

There was this one guy that came into the record store I worked at. No one knew his real name, but everyone called him "Rain Man".
He always wore this flannel jacket with two layers of shirts...even in the summer....and a bike helmet. At all times.

So, anyway, when he would make a purchase and I would give him his change, he would always tell me how much his change was in various foreign currencies. He was like this human exchange rate calculator.
Then he would go on to talk about random countries, their histories, and what was happening there at the time.

I took public transit to and from school throughout all of high school, so I met a ton of strange people.

One that stands out as the weirdest was the time I was sitting at the back of the bus with my good friend. Suddenly, the lady sitting in front of us turned around and started telling us about how we need to band together because the end is coming soon. She was talking about forming a resistance, what weapons we would need, etc. My friend and I were truly in disbelief so we didn't do much except for nod and smile. The strangest part was that the people sitting around her seemed genuinely interested in her "information".

I was at the bar with my friend/"fake little sister" Annie, just having conversation and being witty and hilarious, as we tend to do. We finished our pitcher and, mildly intoxicated, contemplated buying another one.

Suddenly, this dude we had never seen before (or since, really) just bought us one because "I was having a s***ty day, and you guys made me laugh."


Not creepy or anything, and we actually really appreciated the gesture, but the fact that we never saw him (and we had been hanging out in this same bar a couple of times a week for about a year at this point and knew all of the other regulars) makes me think he was some kind of Beer Fairy.

I'd be interested in what she had to say, just because of the sheer insanity of it.

We were trying so hard not to laugh that I thought I would pass out or something. So it was interesting in it's own way.

Used to work midnights at circle k so I ran into some strange people, and the store wasn't busy so I had nothing better to do but listen to the crazy talk. The two that stand out are, the tweaker, this guy was strung out on meth and had been up for three days. He was hanging out at the store because he was afraid his roomate and his girlfriend were going to kill him. He admited that the meth make just be making him paranoid but said they had been on it for three days too, so he thought they might really do it. I let him use the store phone to call a ride and let him hang out, so he started showing up at random to say he was gonna hook me up with some free meth. Number two was the crazy drunk Indian lady who went on and on about all kinds of crazy stuff. The highlight was that all the aliens in Star Trek were all based on real aliens that the goverment has been in contact with for years. I always listened to techno at work and she said that she could tell the artist was a heroin user by listening to the music. She wanted to trade a tape for a Bob Marley tape ,then changed her mind and made me trade back. I was so bored I hung out with her for a couple hours until she called me a pedophile, which made me mad and got her kicked out of the store.
