Weirdest thing you've ever seen at the side of the road?
Discussion
Driving towards what I thought was a green carrier bag this afternoon. Turned out to be a single highlighter green croc shoe.
There's also this elderly indian gentleman I see every now and again walking VERY slowly, pigeon steps up and down a super long road and he always carries a blue carrier bag - I must see him 4 or 5 times a week. Went to the curry house at the bottom of the road a couple weeks back and there he is sitting in the bar having a drink. I was contemplating offering him a lift home but he left. I left about half hour after him and who did I see walking back up the road? Blue bag man

A naked bloke wrapped in cling film taped inside a phone box. In a busy shopping centre car park.
An armchair on the hard shoulder surrounded by a few VOSA HATO types stood scratching their heads. About the same time Clarkson branded them with the wombles image which made it quite amusing at the time.

A fully grown woman with her tracky bottoms around her knees while she squatted in the gutter to take a piss, well I hope it was a piss, and this was on a normal residential road.
There was a chap standing in a layby on the A404 near Wycombe the other day peeing in broad daylight. Didn't give a monkeys.Don't get me wrong, we've all been caught short on a long run, but at least go into the bushes and out of sight.

A bus parked up, with a passenger stuck via his head through the windscreen! 
(I am cheating slightly as I was on the bus at the time and he went to grab the driver, who slammed on the brakes, sending him headfirst through the windscreen!)
Must have looked quite serious to any passers by though. He was effing and blinding while "standing there" waiting to be removed by the police

I saw the first floor flat one too, it was just around the corner from my parents old house, the stretch of dual carriageway leading up to it was pretty new at the time but he must have been really trying to manage that!smithyithy said:

k does that?
Why would someone do that? Cars go under a crash barrier which wouldn't be too affected by a syringe, but cars wouldn't go under a crash barrier unless it was up, so not likely to get scratched anyway. I don't get it?k does that?Sounds like one of those urban myths

Driving down to Atlanta GA you will always see something interesting.
The most humours I can remember was seeing a sofa cushion, then another..... then the while sofa lying beside the road! The guy driving either a) had no idea he'd lost his pay load or b) saw it go and ushered the words sayonara and kept going.
I saw a few chaps scrambling to collect 2 mattresses that had fallen off their car following an early morning trip to ikea - we've all been there, but this was particularly brave on a 4 lane hwy....

A 15 foot Fletcher speedboat.
It was on a road in Devon which floods at high spring tide. Someone had obviously not done their lines right.
A stunned Tawny owl, it had been winged by a car. My brother and I were going to chuck a coat over it and take it to the RSPCA rather than it get hit again by another car but I'm delighted to say it saw us coming and flew off, I suspect it wouldn't have made the best of passengers.

I assume they're aimed at workers / litter pickers etc that go out walking along the verge of A roads and the like.
