Strange Things Total Strangers Say to You in Public

Earlier this evening, me & my wife went grocery shopping. When the cashier got to the 5 cans of tuna we bought (for our cats), she said,

This is a great thing to have in yr emergency kit!

When she got to the 10-lb bag of kitty litter, she said,

I have this in my emergency kit too.

Then she lowered her voice and said,

I don't have a cat.

It's for me.

A midget with a hook hand said "thanks" to me when I held the door for him.

It was really weird.

Given the thread topic, its all to easy to be lol homeless people, but I believe this warrants exception: While walking down one of the thoroughfares in Ann Arbor, I was beckoned by an unruly looking fellow who loudly boasted that he had the "whitest shins in the world" & that "these shins haven't seen the light of day in six-teeeeen years." He then pulled up one of his pant legs & indeed, his shins were quite pale. The man then proceeded to chase a pigeon into a busy intersection. So that's my David Lynch moment, I suppose.

So what you are saying is that he ruined his 16-year streak just for YOU, a complete stranger?

I hadn't thought about that, but yeah, I guess I should be honored.

or something.

"...so, you like to do coke?"
"uh...no."
"you're a good kid."

"You should put your child on a leash!"

She was Austrian and elderly. They were kinky, that generation of Austrians.
