The strangest questions you've ever asked a stranger.

Post » Mon Aug 01, 2011 11:51 pm

Can't recall a question since I rarely talk to strangers (Finnish custom) but the strangest discussion, well..
I was in a bus reading Hitler's Mein Kampf for entirely historical purposes. (I wanted to top everyone else in history class). This drunk guy sits next to me.
"What are you reading?" he asks. If I said what I was really reading, I'd be brutally slain.
"A.. Uh.. A political book".
"Damn politics. I want to kill everyone who does politics. Politicians do nothing but steal and harm! Like that Hitler. Are you involved in politics? Are you a politician or something!?!"
I started to get nervous.
"No, uhh, I read this to know my enemy".
"Huh? Well, that's the right thing. Cause if you were politics, I'd kill you".
"I completely agree with you."
"Now that's the right idea". He said and left the bus, mumbling.

Let me guess... Then that guy's shoe also got stuck in the tree. And it all started with a football.


Been there, done that.

I don't remember asking a stranger a weird question, but I worked in a shop for my work experience, and a man would come in and ask for drugs. When I informed him we didn't sell drugs (it was coke he wanted IIRC), he asked for women. I told him we didn't sell women either and he eventually left. The owner told me he was a regular. Always asked those kinds of questions, always left without much fuss afterwards.

I've never worked with the public since.

I asked a stranger if they liked D.R.U.G.S., but I didn't spell it out. They didn't notice that I was wearing a Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows (D.R.U.G.S.) shirt. :laugh:

Also OP, I know a ghost and when doubted his truth reveals terrible vengeance. :rock:

When I was younger, I was at Menards with my grandparents and while in line I asked the people in front of us if they saved big money at Menards.

For those of you who don't know what that is, it's like a Lowes or Home Depot, a DIY type home building/repair, yardscaping etc etc type place. They have anything you could imagine for your house if you want to add on or re-do. And their tagline in their commercials is you save big money you save big money when you shop Menards.

A couple of days ago some guy asked me if I knew where he could find a good Dutch hoe... It took me a moment to realize that he was talking about gardening.
