I saw an old lady walking down the street holding a teddy bear under her arm. It’s probably more sad than strange.

Those of us who have traveled on the nyc subway…there can be pages printed of “strange”.

Am I the only one that's not finding this either strange or sad? There are good reasons she may have be holding a teddy bear. I don't find it that strange.

I was on the train once and thr guy sitting opposite me took out 2 bottles, 1 with water and 1 wait squash. He opened both and poured both into his mouth at the same time.

Nothing beats the NYC subway in terms of craziness and weirdness.

Girls in a chassidish overnight camp wearing pride stuff…. They had no idea what it was, thought it was just a cute rainbow pattern - which it was until the pride movement ruined it.

Reminds me in satmar camp a group of friends went around with friends sweaters.mm

How about driving in Staten Island and stopping to let the turkey cross the road.

Why did the turkey cross the road? Just like the chicken, to get to the other side!

This was on the London underground Very Happy

I guess the underground anywhere attracts weirdos

Sorry that was a typo it should say with squash eg ribena, robinsons etc. The drink your supposed to drink diluted with water. Are there american versions of it?

Absolutely. She could have been bringing it to a grandchild, a neighbor, etc. even if it didn’t look new, she could have mended it for someone or it was left at her house. If I saw someone carrying a doll or teddy bear I would assume they were just carrying it. Pushing it in a stroller, on the other hand… 😧

At 2:00am after the pesach seder I heard a car door slam outside my window. Looked out to see a woman pull down her pants and urinate on my parents front lawn. Got back in her car and drove away. I could not sleep all night for laughing.

I don’t think there is. Israelis call it Petel.

I don’t do brand names so I would never wear it for that reason but I never knew what it meant until someone on here posted it.
The problem is now I see the moose knuckles symbol all over! It keeps jumping out at me. Can't Believe It

What made it even funnier to me was that during this time parents my parents were upset they thought a dog was ruining their lawn! Little did they know!
