I was walking downtown with my friends, anyways so we hear something along the lines of "Take the money out" curious, we peer into the store, and see this Fat Woman...with a surgical mask on. (Comical already eh?), in any case she was buying some snacks apparently, and didn't want to touch her own money, she was too afraid of the germs, so she was asking the Storekeeper to take it out himself. She was going absolutely weird, saying "be careful" and "make sure all the money is there", at one point the guy accidentaly drops the bags on the floor, she goes wide eyed and says "Your a bad man! A very bad man!" *makes scolding gesture*, and then she asks "Can you start stocking up on regular chips? These cheese ones are too high in cholesterol, and my cholesterol is bad enough already"

Entertained, by seeing something other then homeless people and "Anarchists", i decided to give a light cough. She turned around frantic, but I was already walking off by then.

Got some weird stories where you get to belittle people of their psychological problems? Post it! :D

I work in the medical field, so I see people with psychological problems quite often.

I don't belittle them, though.

There was the woman who was told she couldn't bring back a christmas tree at the start of February with no receipt, no other proof of purchase, and no proof it came from Tesco. In response, she started screaming, jumping up and down on the tree, kicking the security gates, then punched, bit, and kicked the security guard, and had to be locked in the interview room until the police arrived.

i don't know if he is there now, but there was a pretty funny guy who slept in the bushes in front of my residence. Sometimes if you aren't looking at the bushes (he doesn't want to get caught) you can actually have some pretty interesting conversations with the guy.

Your no fun...ok maybe i can understand the doctor patient confidentiality thing, but what about stuff outside?

Plus you don't have to belittle...merely share the story. :)

I certainly would never belittle one of my favorite forms of entertainment. :)

I used to be the Assistant Manager at a convenience store. Let me tell you, Vermont has a lot of crazies.

There's a guy on my street that all of a sudden stopped coming outside. There's a bunch of newspapers on his driveway, his mailbox is overflowing, and his lawn looks horrible.

The town my cousin lives in (I forget which town) gets a lot of drunks. There was one guy that kept falling into the street while trying to light a cigarette, concentrating intently on the cigarettes as though that was more important than the fact he almost got hit by 7 different cars in the space of 15 minutes.

My cousin also get sa ton of interesting people at the supermarket where he works, because it's right near a mental hospital or something like that.

I've been in the wacky ward several times for severe depression. Once you start getting better you start noticing some really weird fellow inmates. I've met Jesus' wife and a CIA agent who bombed Cuba. A man who ate trees in the courtyard and a girl who added a "ly" to every word she said. I have tons of stories from the cracker factory.

Onetime in my neighborhood this woman got high off her medication, and was wondering around the streets crawling and stumbling, til her father-and-law who lives across the street tracked her down and strapped her to a board. He then threw her in the back of his pickup and drove home.

You sound like someone who ought to read my thread on straitjacket escape tips. :) Even if you don't need them yourself, you might meet some of my fellow brethren who do.

Well, I saw this kid once that just creeped me out. His favourite pastime? Ripping his own hair off in tufts so large that his scalp bled, and then eating the bloody hair.

I still shudder when I think about it.

I was at my marina, where my boat is at, and this guy started swearing at the top of his lungs with his shirt off down the docks. He came right off the street, and just started swearing. They had a police boat there along with crusiers, and when they started to cuff him, he yelled, quite randomly I might add, "I got the KEY!"
Absolutly hillarious.

Jesus' wife refused to pick up after herself, she always said her husband would do it.
The CIA guy claimed he had a listening device in his tooth and shot down a Mig over Louisiana. He liked me(scary, huh?) and kindly tried to "assasinate" a girl I didn't get along with.
The guy who ate leaves(he claimed it was from the tree of life) also would trade "acid" for cigarettes. His "acid" was small pieces torn from magazines.
Loads of fun. Being there always makes me feel sane. I go "Gee, I'm not nearly as much a fruitloop as some people."

Okay, it's not really a freak story, but more like a mutation that I've only heard about, in relation to pianos.

Essentially, in my Tai Chi Chuan class, the group is asked to perform in front of everyone after the lesson. The slow martial arts positions like whipping the horse/ holding the bottle/ dancing with rainbow stances are rather fun, but ever so slow. Well, anyway, the first day of class, as the last group was performing, I noticed something odd about this fellow's hands. He is an older man, very nice, friendly, cordial...

Nonetheless, as he was slowly moving, in holding cloud position, I noticed, in a startled sort of way, that he had 6 fingers. There were two thumbs on his left hand, and his right hand had a pinky as a thumb. At this point, I think he was growing warm under the collar b/c Everyone noticed at once. We were all very respectful and polite about it... but I really have no idea what could have caused this mutation... toxic chemicals I would assume, or a degenerative gene...

my first encounter with a 6 fingered man, not playing piano, as the saying goes... or how does that saying go...

:D

the best ones:

a) believe in widespread, large-scale right-wing conspiracy - and that the Truth can only be revealed to the public by fabricating the evidence.

and/or

b) believe that knowledge is only on websites - perish forbid that any useful information is in a book

and/or

c) believe that a left wing (or right wing) website is the only truth, and the website of another nature (the opposite wing) is all lies.

You know it's estimated that about one in every 512 people are born with extra digits, most people either get them removed or try to hide them, so they can be hard to notice.

I think my favourite freak is one that my friends encountered.

He was wandering around the university where my friend studies asking people to sign his "petition" to stop one of the TV stations from broadcasting his life as a reality show.

Sounds like the guy had watched the Truman Show and then promptly lost his tenuous grip on reality.

He claimed he had gone to the police several times with his complaint and they'd failed to act (gee... duh!) and how he'd lost access to his kids because the TV station wouldn't stop filming him and broadcasting his entire life.

When someone else started to ask him questions like "What is the show called?" and "When is it shown?" he got very aggressive and started ranting "YOU KNOW WHAT THE SHOW IS CALLED. EVERYBODY DOES!!! STOP TRYING TO PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW - YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THEM!"

I see this one freak every time I step out of the shower. I mean, I get out, I towel off, I turn around, and BAM there he is in my bathroom again! Naked as a newborn and smiling at me in the mirror, I kindly tell him that his behaviour as well as his presence are innapropriate and unwanted, then kindly ask him to leave. He never does of course, and Im left with no option but to leave the washroom because he quite simply refuses to! Its really quite unnerving - Ive been thinking about contacting the local authorities.

I mean, this is just getting out of hand. :rolleyes:
