The Strangest/Funniest Things You Have Seen

My personal favorite after the time I have been in retail, a customer apparently didn't want a magazine. So instead of handing it to an employee or bringing it back to where it went (it was on the way out to the only exit), they stuck it in the freezer by ontop of the ice cream.

Also someone put condoms ontop of the baby food. Great product placement.

The maternity package (a box that mothers get when their baby's born with clothes and stuff) included condoms...and some lubricant.

Like I told the missus while holding up the condoms; "isn't it a bit late for these?"

I've had people put things like sausage on top of the magazines in the rack at the end of the register.

I'm still -- many years later -- trying to figure out why that old guy got on my bus with his shirt neatly tucked into those maternity jeans.

I saw a girl wearing a pair of panties over the top of her jeans. Some people asked me why security didn't tell her to take them off. I figured, nothing in our rules said anything about wearing underwear on the outside of your clothing, so it wasn't hurting anything. She was probably looking for a reaction. I wonder how many people went out of their way to pretend they didn't notice?

The guy in the banana costume. That made my day. Didn't have any reason to talk to him either, but did ask him why he decided to wear that. He just said "ehe, I just felt like it; thought it would make people laugh." Amen brother, amen!

Years ago, somewhere near L.A., spotted a hitch hiker. Guess he didn't fancy his odds of getting a ride quickly, he had one of those old metal tubing & canvas lounge chairs, and was sitting back with his thumb out.

Every so often, I see an elderly man walk a couple of geese. The big goose has a baby blue leash and collar and the little one wears baby pink. It always charms me.

One day, I was riding to work and saw a guy standing by the road with his thumb out. This is very rare for that area, so I would have noticed him anyhow. The thing that made him stand out was that he was wearing a towel. A small towel. And a confident smile.

I really wished I had been driving my car so I could have picked him up to hear his story. My guess is that the SO came home early...but he was so confident looking.

I heard an odd noise outside last night and so had a quick look. There were three guys play-fighting with plastic milk crates as they were wandering down the street. They were doing pretty well too, moving quickly but elegantly, waving these milkcrates at each other with one hand and holding onto their drinks with the other.

Was he carrying Maracas and going "Peanut Butter Jelly Time?"

I just remembered a couple:

Halloween one year a couple of guys were dressing up in little kid clothes as Batman and Superman. I would understand adult ones (I'd be Batman myself) but not little kid ones where you see their "buldge"

Another time, some old guy comes in asking where the personal massagers were and called them dildos . I told hime the asile, cause gross and asked me to show him where they were. We didn't sell such things (they don't say they actually are dildos, but come on) at the time.

One morning after Halloween, I was delivering to an apartment complex. A bunch of people stumbled out of a cab, and a drunk guy in a wedding dress came up to my car and started hitting on me.

This last Halloween, I encountered a pink ninja being chased by a black ninja.

My motel is pet friendly, and that includes all pets. And I've seen almost every kind you can think of. One woman bred those little fighting fish and was moving. She had 42 of them, each in their individual cups, set up in her room. She even gave one to former Boss Lady, who was GM at the time.

The first time I met - or rather heard - Neville was strange. Not what you expect in a supermarket!! Now he's in every single day and I miss him if he doesn't come in.

This is Neville:

And someone has made a short film on him and why he sings:

I like to sing, too, but he's incredible.

One Halloween we were out early in the day having coffee and saw a guy in a gorilla suit riding by on a bicycle.

Oh, and there was the time I was leaving a grocery store and a guy came in with two very hyper little boys. He was clearly having trouble keeping them in line. An old guy watching just looked at him and said "You should have thought of that before you said I DO!"

[Lovecats]

We have a guy that comes in regularly. He wears a bra. Otherwise, dresses very masculine, as in jeans & a baseball cap. One of the other emplyees referred to him as the "Boob Guy". He just kinda walks around the store looking for hours but never buys anything. Kind of wierd.
