I was sitting in a restaurant and grabbing a salad for lunch. Right behind me was a huge man sitting at a table with an entire pie of pizza in front of him, fries and more food. I thought he's waiting for company to join him for lunch, but no, he started eating slice after slice. In the 15 minutes I finished my salad, he's gone thru six slices, then I left....so don't know if he got thru it all.

That reminds me - not the strangest thing I’ve ever seen, but it was pretty strange -
We were out having a picnic dinner. At a nearby table we see a man setting up a disposable BBQ and laying things out to cook. We all assumed he was getting things ready for other people to join. But no one did.

At this point, I'm used to it and don't find it funny anymore, but I'm sure anyone who sees us thinks it's either funny or strange. Ds 15 has asd and anytime we go into a store that has mannequins, he shakes hands with each mannequin. Sometimes he hugs them or rubs his hands against them.

Reminds me when I went to Uri's pizza years ago, I saw a guy roll up an entire pizza (he had asked them not to slice it) and eat it just like that. The craziest part was that he was squeezing the rotev (pizza sauce) straight from the bottle into his mouth Puke

Talking about birds, one of the most fascinating scenes I’ve ever seen was the bird migration in (don’t remember which part of) Israel.

Yes, in Hula Valley! It's incredible!

I was on the London Underground in some random place in London and this really rough looking non Jewish guy walks on with gelled spikes and lots of gold chains on his leather jacket, real tough look.
In his hand he was clutching a Breuer and Spitzer bag (a trademark fluorescent bag from this chassidishe grocery in the centre of Stamford Hill)

I once saw two cars back out of spots at the same time. Back to back. Car rears bumped into each other . Both were old men. Both looked at each other, waved and went on with their day .... Was so weird.

My friend went to court for moral support for her friend and the whole time the defendants were lying and the judge saw they were lying and the case just shlepped bc the judge was seeing how far it can go. Eventually the judge stopped it bc it was getting to ridiculous and wasting time. But my friends friend and her lawyer couldn’t hide their smirks for long and BhBh she won the case.

After finishing his Israeli army service, my cousin got a job as a security guard in a mall in Seattle. The santa there said he was Jewish, so was the one in the mall across the street!

[quote="amother Pansy"]I once saw a bunch of pigeons wading in a puddle. A man got out of a car with a big net, scooped up an bunch of pigeons, and quickly got back into this car and drove away.

It's been at least 10 years and I still can't figure out why he wanted all those pigeons.

That is amazing! We should get them to work on a cure for cancer next.

I once saw a car driving with the nozzle for pumping gas still in the tank, along with the hose attached dragging along.

This reminds me of a joke,

A police with his sirens blasting, an ambulance with his sirens blasting, a fire truck with his sirens blasting, and a mail truck all get to a 4 way stop sign at the same time, who goes first?

This is not a joke. This is the truth according to the law.

My sister once went for gas in NJ, the attendant came over and gave her back her card, she said "You're done?" and he said yeah, so she drove away from the pump. Turns out he just meant he was done with the card, not the pumping, and guess how she found out. LOL

My BIL walked out of the convenience store just then, took one look at the hose dragging behind her and about-faced and went right back in!
