i felt inspired by Lunasea's thread so i decided to share some funny stories with you guys, and i know you all have many up your sleeves as i see something rediculous/funny/weird/scarry every day in this damn city lol...
1) one night i was walking home to my apt off of park ave, it was at night, warm out a couple of summers ago maybe.. anyway i was walking back to my place from a friends on the east side (2nd ave) so i was walking cross town down 28th street to park ave.. so there are people out its not too late in the night and suddenly i look ahead and start seeing people on my side of the block start crossing the street to go to the otherside, and there moving quickly i might add, so i was concerned kinda "wtf is going on" i said in my mind, well. i started hearing some loud noises like someone screaming, or something.. anyway i get closer and i see it.. theres this big i mean HUGE black man in the street wearing nothing but a white towel and just doing karate like full out swinging in the air making the noises and all (real loud) he was kicking and chopping the air it was nutz ! lol he must have been like 350lbs lol needless to say i just crossed the street like everyone else, there was no way in hell i was walking past that guy :wtf:
2. one time i was on the subway when i was about 13, and i was sitting down next to my mother and we stopped at a station and this dude ran in with a bucket of green paint and a paintbrush and just started painting everyone with his brush really fast and then ran out lol i mean we didnt get any on us bc he only did one side of the train but there were people in business suits completly covered and with this like dumbfounded look on their faces it was hysterical...

1. in high school, taking the 1 back from van cortlandt park after cross country, my teammates and i saw a dude snorting some cocaine in one of the corner seats... snorted it off the newspaper. when he was done, he just crinkled his nose, then went right back to reading the newspaper.
2. i love watching people struggle to use their metrocards. the best is when people keep swiping even though it says "insufficient fare". morons |

AHHAHAHAHA!!!! OMG!! :stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
ok i have a lot of crazy stories but i'll start with this one.. kinda freaky actually:
1> In 2002 I was in London for a few months doing an internship and at the end of my stay I decided to go somewhere I had never been before all by myself. I went to Sweden and didn't tell a soul except an old priest I know in Sicily (you know, just in case I disappeared.) First strange occurence that happened was that EVERYONE but about 5 people on the plane lost their luggage.. it was a relatively non-packed flight (maybe 40 ppl max on the plane) but still, the luggage-loaders didn't think something was up when they only loaded like 5 suitcases?? (maybe there were just stealin them, who knows..) anyways, i was one of the lucky few that got my luggage.
2> I went to Hagen Parken, which is a huge national park outside of stockholm..I underestimated the size of this park but decided to take a hike around this massive lake (this is around noon.) I hiked all day long, following the lake until I made it 360 degrees. Well, Somehow, I jogged all the way around the lake and I ended up at a completely different 'starting point.' I was lost and there was not a soul in sight or earshot. It was also getting late.
I exited the woods and found myself in a meadow with a greenhouse relatively nearby. No one in the greenhouse. I walk out into the middle of the meadows, thinking of a plan and I see a little pedastal with a sign on it- alas, it's in Swedish. No good. Then, out of no where I hear a old man's voice speaking Swedish- he was RIGHT behind me. I didn't feel scared tho. Long beard, very calm, gentle-looking kinda man. I said "I'm sorry, I don't speak Swedish." He then says something in French. "Uhm, no.......parlo italiano!?!!" (hoping maybe he knew italian) then he goes "Oh, you're American!" We laugh. He asks if I'm lost, I say yes. He leans over to me and says "Shhh...." and I'm like O_o and all of the sudden I hear a train coming by in the distance and he says "Go, run towards the train! It will take you back to where you need to go!" (I never told him where I was going, where I was staying, what I was doing, nothing.) But, I just start booking it towards the train at carl lewis speed and I turned around not more than 10 seconds later to say thank you and goodbye and THE DUDE IS GONE. GONE. There's no way he could have walked back into the greenhouse either, it was too far away for a man of 70+ yrs old. I get shivers/tears in my eyes thinking about it.
Needless to say, I hopped that train and it got me back to stockholm city. |

| When I used to work in brooklyn I used to take the 7 train from the first stop which is Main Street and the trains are empty there until they open the doors to leave. During rush hour its pretty crowded and people practically bumrush you just to get in and get a seat. So I get on the train and grab the first seat that is open and apparently the woman behind me was eyeing the seat too so I ran in and sat down and ass soon as my ass hits the seat this lady runs over and sits on top of me. I was like WTF! :wtf: needless to say after that she pretty much went flying. Yea I pushed her off me. She was pretty ing heavy, she didnt even apologize and she was so embarassed she left and went to the next train car. |

| So im at work right now and these two asian chicks come into my store and were looking around at phones. So I asked them if they needed any help and they said they were just checking out some phones. So A few minutes passed and I checked back with them asking if they had any more questions and the one girl asked me pull up her account to see if she could upgrade now. So she gives me her number....xxx-xx-9024. Nothing comes up. I tell her that must be the wrong number. So she was like xxx-xx-9023. Still nothing. Shes like "this is Cingular right?" and im like "sure is;) ." So shes like try this one...xxx-xx-9042. "Nope that's not coming up." Then she has her friend look up her number in her phone. xxx-xx-9024. Im like..."we tryed that on and it didn't work, remember?" She was like "please try one more time." So I did...."nope sorry you must have forgot your number." So get gets a little frustrated and proceeds to take the battery off her phone only to show me that she had a T-MOBILE sim card in her phone!!! LOL the poor girl's face turned bright red and ran out of the store laughing saying how she was sorry and that she was really stoned.:stongue: :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: |

This happened 2 weeks ago after the rooftop Shelter event.
My friend and I are going back home at 7am, we get to the Port Authority.
Go in and wait for our bus which leaves at 830.
Now, we usually get bored around this time and start sliding coins and down the escalator handrails, putting them back on the handrails, catching them at the top, sliding them down, etc.
This is to pass the time.
So this day, we decide to explore the port authority since we have time. Eventually, we find this huge escalator in the back that goes from the 4th floor down to the ground floor. So we start sliding tons of coins down.
My friend then sends down this burridge barrage of coins. Now, I'm just playing around and I'm like "you ******!" and throw them up the escalator. I turn around to see a port authority worker looking at me. !
So I walk out, and the lady calls the police. My friend calls my cell, wondering where I went and I tell him to "just come down..."
He gets off the escalator just as the police show up and grill us both. The lady said we were, quote "sabotaging the escalator"
OH WATCH OUT MASS PANIC FOR COINS ON THE HANDRAIL OF AN ESCALATOR!!!!
Anyway we had to sit in the Port Authority police station after they took our info, but they let us go. And we still had 30 mins left before the bus came :p |

| There's a middle-aged man named Joel who comes and sits in Starbucks (where I work) every day of his life. He's often in the parking lot at 5:15 in the morning as I get in the store to set up. And he's definitely there at opening time at 6:15. He asks for a class of water and hogs one of our two comfy chairs. He sleeps in it till about noon, wakes up, buys a can of apple juice or a cookie, and then sits and ponders and talks to himself for a few hours more. Sometimes he gets up and drives away in his car, coming back 5 minutes later. He likes to strike up conversations with customers doing work. He likes to ask a lot of questions, too, so every time he asks me a question like "So what kinds of other jobs have you had?" or "So what school did you go to?" I just ask him the same thing back without answering. Pisses the hell out of him. :p Crazy Starbucks man... |
