Weirdest thing you've seen whilst sat in your car?
Discussion
I had parked up and left my partner in the car whilst I went into Sainsbury's to pick up a parcel from the Argos depot. Whilst I was in the shop, a van parked near our car and the driver got out. He lobbed an empty energy can into the middle of the car park and walked around between our vehicles. HE then got his tackle out and started pissing up the side of his works van passenger pillar with the door open, literally about a foot from my partner in the car. She said he then started to lose concentration as his mate called his name out and he turned. At that point he wasn't pissing up the side of the van but now into the passenger footwell.
He finished up and he went back around to the drivers side and his mate jumped into the passenger seat and apparently said. "Corr smell's like s
t around here." and the other man giggled and they drove off.
What's the weirdest thing you've seen happen whilst stopped in your car?

There must be something about pissing... I was in a Tesco car park when a chap pulled up (across 4 spaces) into a fairly empty bit, got about 3ft away from his car, knob out and he was wazzing away! Broad daylight, Saturday afternoon.
Just got back in his car and drove off.
Oh dear, yeah it was the same situation here too. Sunday afternoon about 1PM, the car park was heaving and the sunshine was out. Strange humans.Just got back in his car and drove off.
There's a free public toilet inside the shop and a bin not 4 foot from his van.
Another pissing one here; a few months ago after work I spotted a young, well dressed (dressed for the evening, bar or club), hop out of his newish Mercedes, walk up to a wall and take a piss, in full view of anyone who would happen to be wandering by, he wasn't even doing it away in a corner somewhere.
This morning I popped into the office nice and early, 7am. As I drove through the cross roads of a not particularly affluent area, my attention was drawn to the rather malnourished Asian gentleman (possibly of Chinese heritage) who was standing at the side of the road in nothing but a pair of boxers and trainers, smoking a cigarette and engaging in a rather heated conversation with the owner of the Spar shop and a delivery driver who was in the process of delivering his wares.
It was upon further inspection it became apparent that, aside from his state of undress, the Asian gentleman was (to use the parlance of the area) completely off his fking tits. Jaw jutting out, arms rapidly alternating between a wild conversational flail and the self-caress of someone who had imbibed a substantial quantity of party supplies.

I used to work in a busy nightclub. Came out of work one night and got in my car. On my way out of the car park I was driving looking along the back of the bar next door
Cue a bloke stood with his back to the wall with his arms behind his head, with a young lady bent over in a compromising position with her head in the area of his groin.
Nothing too out of the ordinary to be honest. Apart from the other bloke gripping her hips firmly from behind whilst 2 more looked on in fully tumescent wonder whilst presumably awaiting their turn.

Waiting in the car park at uni years ago - it looks out onto a farmer's field. Was looking at phone/playing with stereo waiting for the old bird to come out of the gym.
Looked up as you do, bored, to see a stepside transit, sides down, in the middle of the ploughed field, with a large cow behind it and two fellas just standing around the beast. Watched them absentmindedly for a bit, was about to look down at my previous distraction when one of them shouted "Ay!" or something and then they both tried to get this huge animal to climb onto the back of the truck. They had not provided Ermintrude with a ramp or any moitvation to get onto the inappropriate vehicle so she just sprinted past it a few yards and resumed her standing position.
What was odd is the fellas just got into the truck and bounced off across the field. I always wonder whether I had missed the previous attempts of getting the cow on there or whether their whole plan was always just to try once, whether they were stealing her, what the end game was, how they were going to secure her to the truck, so many questions to this day.
Humans are odd, especially those living a life so far removed from your own.

While waiting at a set of traffic lights in glasgow a bloke was crossing the road in front of me, walking slightly odd as if he had shoelaces undone, or something in his shoe.
He stopped crossing in the middle of the road directly in front of my car, lifted his ankle up, stuck his hand up his trouser leg, pulled a magazine out, opened it and continued on his way

I also remember when I was younger, my mum had dreamed she'd been flying in her sleep but actually she'd attempted to jump down the stairs whilst sleep walking(she was drunk before she went to bed). She broke her back quite badly and went to Addenbrookes hospital and I got to visit her the next evening in Cambridge.
On the way it was pitch black and the road had turned into a 3 lane Motorway section of the A14. We were in the centre lane with traffic going either side of us when suddenly there was a boat in our lane sitting on the road with no blinkers or reflectors on it, we had to swerve into lane 1 doing 70mph, but luckily dodged it. We'd of been joining her at the hospital in beds if we hit that, it was huge.
Someone obviously had lost their treasured boat that night!

Ok, not the weirdest thing I've seen, but one of the weirdest things the person behind me has likely seen.
I bought a 2 seater sofa from a furniture store in Belfast and not wanting to pay £25 delivery charge, I came with a trailer and some rope to take it back home. The guy in the shop kindly shrinkwrapped the sofa for me to protect it in case it rained and even more kindly, had one of his staff put said sofa into the trailer and tie it in. I tested the ropes and it was secured tightly so off I went. (I think we know where this story is going....)
About 10 mins later, I'm driving along and its quite windy. I can see the wind getting into the shrinkwrap, as it's bellowing around quite a bit but at least the sofa isn't moving - still well secured so I continue on my journey. Wind is still getting into the shrinkwrap and I slow down a bit, probably to 40 mph or so. Soon after, I have someone in my rear view mirror as I'm doing 40mph in a 60.
All of a sudden, the sofa lifts up out of the trailer and starts soaring in the air, approx., 20-25ft in the air. I look over my shoulder and all I can see is a big round balloon shape with a 2 seater sofa inside it, spinning around inside. Very quickly, I realise its going to fall out of the air and hit the car behind me. All the while, I'm slowing the car down and the guy behind me just calmly puts on his indicator, moves out of the way of the falling sofa and goes past the sofa and past me - continuing on his merry way as if he was just overtaking a little piece of debris on the road.
I just couldn't believe how calm he was. Looking out the windscreen, he sees a flying sofa soaring through the air and as its about to come down and land on him, cool as a cucumber, he swiftly negotiates past the flying sofa and even has the presence of mind to put the indicator on too - presumably to let me and the sofa know ".....its ok, I got this...."

oh forgot to mention I have seen a chap on a bicycle of some sort (dont know the exact name) where he was lying horizontally about 1 foot above the road surface and pedaling away on a single lane road between Woking and Guildford last autumn such a selfish fellow to block the road going slowly and blocking traffic

Not sure weird is the right word but today saw a chap riding a quadbike on the footpath, with his son sitting in his lap...
Saw a similar thing yesterday. Chap on a quad, no reg, on a main road just off the M40 at about 7pm. Loads of fast-moving traffic, low sun in people's eyes.... and there he is with both a young child and a toddler in his lap, no helmets, no lights, pootling along at about 20mph
