What's the most...?

What's the most random or peculiar thing you've ever seen someone (or you yourself have) pick up in the *insert location*?


Today on my way to the hospital I saw an old man loitering beside a dead seagull. After looking surreptitiously around he plucked it off the ground and hid it in his jacket.

It was most peculiar. Clearly this belonged nowhere really - but it got me thinking about the strange things people will pick up and take home.

It's not something someone picked up but still strange and random.

My sister used to drink out of puddles, probably because our dog always used to do that.

While I was walking to town in the rain a little while ago I saw a man collecting crisp packets from the ground and eating what was left inside them, it was pretty gross.

My mom used to take a teaspoon from each restaurant we went to. Now we have too many.

But the man who picked up the dead seagull might have been planning to eat it - actually a mistake, I believe they are foul, as are all members of the crow family except for rooks, the young of which used to be shot and eaten every year in late May when they were just leaving the nest.

Don't forget the slicey things to get head off of beer with.

My mum brought me back a presant from France once. It was this plastic woman doing a salute that she found in a Super-U car park, she lives in my pocket and is called Jane Doe.

Myself, I have no idea.

I regularly watch my Grandad steal cups, saucers and spoons though, especially if he thinks he's been overcharged.

And my friends' godson once stole a baby penguin from a zoo.




Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

^ My Granddad does that as well. He'll take all the sugar and sauce sachets in the pot on the table and take them home with him. We were once asked to leave Costa's after a staff member saw him putting 60 sachets of sugar into his coat pocket

My dad and uncle also once took a picnic bench from a pub garden whilst drunk, they carried it home for 6 miles and left it perched ontop of a neighbours shed And they weren't even young when they did it, it was a couple of years ago and both are in their mid 40's.

My brother once found a dead pigeon in our bin, and proceeded to parade it round the garden on a stick. Bearing in mind that he was six years old at the time, this was quite disturbing. Especially when we kept finding bits of pigeon entrails in the grass for months... D:

I know it's kind of gross to share this but as Brisbane Escorts, it's pretty odd to see a friend pick up a dead cat (with intestines out and scattered) in the middle of the street. Uglk!!
