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 yikes
A local errr "traveller" no doubt; a place I used to work had a permanent "traveller" camp behind it, frequently they would ride quads through our forecourt, sans helmet with kids on their laps.

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.
St Helens road opposite the YMCA?

An early morning drive to the airport, car in front was stopped at a mini-roundabout . Nothing coming.
After a few seconds I squeezed past, the driver was fast asleep!
Lights on & engine running.

On the way home from work one Friday afternoon I got stopped at a pedestrian crossing (now picture the doorway of a pub directly leading onto the crossing) a couple was standing at the doorway the guy was absolutely pished he could hardly stand up his partner was holding him up with one arm while fiddling with something in her bag but she couldn’t do it one handed, so it must have been going through her mind “he’ll be alright for a minute if I let him go” so she did and he crumbled and face planted the pavement at a fair old lick...I nearly wet myself laughing I looked in the rear mirror and the people in the car behind were hee-hawing as well.

I’ll bet he was sore the next day.

I once saw an ostrich on the hard shoulder of the M69, just standing there as I drove past.

I saw a bloke taking his (presumably) pet rabbit for a walk down the A458 near Birmingham once.

Another time, a big, hairy rocker / biker waking along the path closely followed by his dog.



A little black toy poodle.

Another pissing one....

Just exiting a roundabout onto a dual carriageway, and I can see a car pulled over about 50 yards ahead.

There was a woman squatting and taking a piss by the rear bumper, skirt hitched up, knickers around her ankles. No attempt to hide behind the car, or the open doors!

Once sat at a junction another car pulled up beside me. I looked in the cabin to see a woman driver, missing her lower jaw, with saliva dripping from the upper jaw. A bit like this:

I must admit at the time I was wearing slightly out of date glasses, but I'm 80% sure thats what I saw, but could have been a trick of the light or something.

Driving home with Vikingette1 and I who must have been about 6 months old and she's getting ratty and needs a bottle. I pull into an Asda, park up, get in the back of the Zafira (in angry Dad silver), and make up a bottle of formula. The Zafira has limo tints aft of the B pillar. In the middle of feeding, a raggedy old Fiesta pulls up with 5 women in. They get out and use the windows of the Zafira as a mirror for their make up, hair and adjusting their cleavages. biggrin It was like PornHub 2002!

Many good ones. Some also have a Tarantino quality about them.

I was sitting in traffic driving through Splott in Cardiff maybe 3 months ago, family in the car. A ratty looking chav in a vest and boxers came out of his house with a cake on a plate and proceeded to scrape it off into the guttering on the road, and then went back into the house. One of the oddest and most inexplicable things I've ever seen.

I remember years ago driving along the M4 on a quiet Sunday afternoon, the traffic suddenly started to bunch up somewhere you'd not normally expect it to. After a few minutes I found the cause of the jam - there was a minibus parked on the hard shoulder, with about a dozen late teens / early 20s cheerleaders in quite tarty kit (short tops, tiny miniskirts and stiletto heels) wandering around the hard shoulder. In the interests of safety every male driver slowed down to a crawl as they drove past.

On the M25 I was sat in the outside lane in heavy traffic, and I happened across a massive 80s style jukebox deposited in the central reservation. It was in pristine condition, certainly didn't look like it had fallen off a truck or anything.

Also, not mine, but this would have been pretty interesting to come across:

On the way back from the Lakes a few years ago we got stuck on the M6 - miles and miles of very slow moving traffic.

Citroen C1 in front of us, arm holding a wellie appears out of the window and what looked to be piss tipped out of it.
Happened a few times on the journey home laugh

You didn’t notice Bernie Clifton a bit further along did you?
