I used to work at a liquor store, so we'd get our share of loonies!
One night, a fella came in the store, grabbed a few beers, and when it came time to pay, he presented us with a huge rock (the stone type) as payment. In my weird world, I thought it woulda been funny if we took the rock, and then gave him a smaller rock as his change.
Maybe I am the loony!0 -

Definitely a nut case! I couldn't believe it!

Oh my god, I have many more, but I forgot Crazy George! Several years ago at a Jerry Cantrell show (which was cancelled right in front of my eyes!), my friend and I were waiting in line at the venue and sitting against the wall, and a homeless man holding a sandwich stopped in front of us, insinuated that we were in his territory and threatened us, but first he asked us if we knew who he was; Him: "Do you know who I am?!" Us: (Terrified) "No.." Him: "Well, I'm Crazy George! Say it!" Us (terrified, yet laughing): "Crazy George..." Then, he took a bite of his sandwich, and falling out of his mouth, said he was going to come back and kill us with a bow and arrow, which he acted out with his arms in true charade fashion. :?
I also had a Seinfeld moment with some lady in a conversation that went like this: Her: "Where do you get your hair permed?" Me: "It's not a perm, it's naturally curly." Her: "No, it isn't." Me (perplexed): "Yes, it is." Her: :roll:JOEJOEJOE wrote:I used to work at a liquor store, so we'd get our share of loonies!

I've had many crazy moments as well, but now that I am married, I try to avoid making the moments crazier.....it freaks my wife out whenever I try to stir the pot with other people!0 -
My favorite looney encounter at work was with a customer who came in, and he was looking for razor blades in the health and beauty/shaving section, and I told him that he wouldn't find them there. He was nice enough, but we bickered back and forth a little, and he's like, "you know, like razor blades! They would be with the shaving kits," and I'm like, "yeah, like straight razors, for a box knife" so I took out my box knife and showed him, and he's like "yeah!" So I told him again where they were, and he says in a quiet voice, "Ok, I'm not gonna lie, they're for cutting coke with.." And I said, "Yeah, you need a straight razor, and they're not in the shaving section!"Rose Garden Arena - Nov 02, 2000, Key Arena - Oct 22, 2001, Key Arena - Dec 08, 2002, Key Arena - Dec 09, 2002, Clark County Amphitheater - Sep 26, 20090

I would have yelled really loud "YOU WANT TO USE THIS TO CUT COCAINE????"

I'm a weirdo/freak magnet too!
Can't think of any right off the top of my head right now, but I will be sure to post a story here when I have a good one.
There's a lot of weirdos on the bus, that's for sure.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

love your story Alex, very funny!
Semaphore, where I live, is known for it's crazy people so I have regular encounters. :? I was at work once and this guy came in shouting, "pepper! sauce!". I presumed he meant Pepper Steak pie with sauce so that's what I asked him. "Pepper! sauce!" he screams again.
I say " Do mean Pepper Pasty?". "PEPPER! SAAAAAUUUUUUUUCE!", he screams really loud this time. So I say to him "I don't know what you mean and if your not going to tell me what you want, I can't get it for you". So he starts calling me all this really disgusting stuff so I told him to get out.
Before I can stop him, he's grabbed someone else's pie and walked out. He gets to the front window and smears it all over the window. :fp:
Just one of the many crazy stories from my work. Also had a lady come in once with her pants zipped down, had no underwear on and you could see EVERYTHING.

I must be in the "attracts loonies" category as well. I was in a store yesterday and suddenly heard this big mynah bird go SQWUAAAK! I turned to look at it and it was this lady standing there with an ice cream cone dripping on the floor and she was staring at me. :shock:
