What is The Craziest Thing A Stranger Has Ever Said To You?
- Rating: No Rating
For some strange reason, crazies, weirdos and social retards like to talk to me. Doesn't matter where I am, what I'm doing, how I feel. If I smile or say anything to them out of politeness, it brings out their inner crazy.
A couple of doozies that stand out immediately in my mind:
One day while out walking, I had a woman stop me and ask me to pick up the trash I come across in the neighborhood when I am out walking. And, I don't even live in the neighborhood, it's just one of the ones I pass through on my route. Guess I should have kept my "Good afternoon" to myself.
The stranger who told me a few days ago that I had the "Double Whammy" of unattractiveness against me because I was "African-American and a big woman". That totally came from out of nowhere while we were talking about customer service at the store we were in. He commented that the girl who helped him had a little attitude but, she was "cute", but me, "double whammy". All I could wonder about was why such a social retard was out wandering the streets unattended.
CRAZY in both instances.
So, what kind of crazy things have total strangers said to you? What did you think? How did you feel?

OMG, those go beyond crazy--that's just plain RUDE!
I was teaching my class, and given, it IS a pole dancing class, so I understand...that people sometimes think that...I am an exotic dancer.
But one girl--poor thing--it was all in the way she said it.
She was in my class and I was helping her and she said "Wow, this is a lot harder than it looks."
I came back with "It makes you think differently about those who actually do this for work."
And she says, very proudly, "Oh, I am totally cool with strippers. My husband and his friends buy you guys all the time."
BUY YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME?!?!
I politely said, "Oh, well, good then, but I am not actually a stripper..."
She immediately knew she stuck-foot-in-mouth, so I just smiled at her and went about my business.
It wasn't that she thought I was a stripper...it was that her husband and his friends "BUY" them all the time!
And she's OKAY with that!?!?
Did she have strippers confused with hookers?
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Wow...
But back to yours, JustMe--that's just sick and wrong.
So what if you are "African-American and a big woman"? Those things happen to be very desirable traits. Maybe the retard who was spewing bile from his lips was just upset because he knew he could never have you?
PEOPLE!

Yep, PEOPLE.
Sometimes, you just have to feel sorry for the stupid ones.
Bless their pointed little heads.

Wow, JUSTME - you do attract crazy!
And what's up with the "double-whammy" being a negative thing? I mean, we're all just ourselves. God has appointed someone - they are out there RIGHT now - just for you...and they think you are super hot! If you were Asian and anorexic your dream spouse would just pass you by!
As far as what crazy people have said to me...I can't recall.
I fear it is because I am the crazy one!
You might run it by my wife just to make sure, she's normal.

It IS Bruce Campbell, AKA "Ash"!
Right on JM.
Boy, poor Ash has a rough time in that movie.
Goes through a lot of what I'd call "character building".
Sam Raimi is an amazing director.
