I haven't seen many weird things I don't think.
When I lived in NH there was a woman that used to run in shorts and a tank top year round. I thought that was super weird. Or crazy.

I was driving late at night in a snowstorm. It was practically a blizzard. I was on a highway and there were no other cars around. The ground was covered and it was otherwise very dark. I come around a bend and there is a truck completely engulfed in flames. No police cars or firetrucks. No people standing off to the side. Nothing. Just a truck on fire in the middle of a snowstorm.

Standard poodle balancing on a yoga ball in Target while the owner/handler walked beside her dressed in a Popeye costume.  |

That's so disturbing. I would be so freaked out. |

I once saw a man chasing a baby cow around his front yard. I live in the suburbs. I really wanted an explanation but alas, I was just driving by and I never did figure it out. We had that happen when my in laws first bought their beach house. We looked in the yard and there was a cow there. We had no idea what to do and stared at it a few minutes before someone came and got it. Turns out their suburbs have different rules than ours. |

We had a car set on fire in front of our house a few years ago. I was shocked at how long it took to become fully engulfed. Also, shocked at how nonchalant the owner of the vehicle was about it. What the fuck?! How did it catch fire? |

I saw a squirrel run into traffic, hit the hub cap of a car, spin around a few times, then it got launched out and ran away like nothing ever happened. This reminded me...i saw a squirrel pick a huge dead dragon fly off my front grill on my car and eat it. |

Not really a scenario, but one of our customers is named Santa Stocking. For real. But he goes by like, Mike or something like that.

I happened upon a naked bike ride in Barcelona once. Just meandering the side streets near Santa Maria Del Mar, then I heard a hullabaloo, and -- oh hello, naked bicyclists.

I went to the beach with my friend's family one year, we were probably only 12 or so. Walking down the beach just us two and there was an ollllld man walking the opposite direction. Wearing only a speedo, BUT his balls were hanging out. I have no idea if he was just old enough to not give a fuck anymore or if he was some super creepy perv who got a kick out of his balls swinging.

Also a horse parked outside of a wawa. Not a rural area by any means.  |

Also on the same trip, there was a woman wearing a thong at the pool. She kept bending over to pick stuff up. I'm starting to wonder now about the place we stayed 😂😂

I once saw a squirrel drop dead in front of me for no apparent reason. It was perched on the edge of a fence as I walked by, and then out of nowhere it just clutched its little squirrel heart with its little squirrel hands and fell down off the fence dead as a doornail.

This one is gross-ish, so fair warning. My mom and I used to go hiking all the time. We always went to the same forest because it was super quiet, no one ever around, and lots of wildlife. We could almost always hear a waterfall, so one day we decided we would try to find it. We were following all these paths we had never been down before and weren't sure what to expect.
We were getting closer to the waterfall (we thought) and I saw something lying just off the path in a small clearing. I realized it was a cow, which was weird since we were so far into the forest. Went closer and the entire thing was skinned except for the head. It didn't smell because it had been outside in the sun and had dried. Nothing had touched it.
We were freaked out and left. A few days later my dad wanted to see it because he didn't believe us, so I took him out there and the cow was still there. Still untouched. We assume a local farmer ditched the carcass in the woods because it was sick and they didn't want to cull their herd, hence skinning to hide any brand. We called the municipality to come remove it. Never went back to check if they did.
A few weeks later we found a dead pig floating in the river, so we decided our time hiking in the forest was over. |

I used to work on the beach. I would always show up before sunrise and then go outside after setting up and watch the sun come up. One day we were out there and the daylight hit the beach and we saw a beached whale. It was the most exciting thing to happen at work in a while. Unfortunately it was dead. We watched a bobcat come and drag it away from the beach and load it on a truck. There was a HUGE blood trail from where it was found to where they loaded it up and it looked like a crime scene.

Spoiler, because these are more creepy dead animal stories.. skip if you wanna. After hurricane Rita hit Louisiana the town I lived in had flooded and there were a lot of dead animals. My neighbors had cows and when we came back home to check on the house there were two dead cows upside down with legs in the air and they were bloated from being there for too long. They had tractors come and drag them away and bury them in the back of the cane field.
I used to also live next to a graveyard and cow fields near a huge wooded area. We used to go shooting in the woods. Once we stumbled upon a mass grave of cows in various states of decomposition. And by grave, I mean a large pile of dead cows, just left rotting by the treeline. |

Oh my god I thought you meant bob cat like the actual cat. I'm thinking how fucking huge was that bob cat to just drag a whale away like it's no big deal. |

Just this morning on our drive out to the country I saw a man sunbathing on top of a car that was pulled over on the side of the highway. There was another guy in the drivers seat sticking his head out the window talking to him.

In my hometown there was a lady who would walk her miniature pony around town. She was a little person (is that the correct term?). It was adorable.
Also I've seen a couple people with huge rabbits on leashes in the park here. Like dog sized rabbits.
