Random Moment

The other day, my friends and I were walking back from getting ice cream and stopped to rest on a huge hill by the theme park we live by. As we were sitting, some guy pulled up to the gate to the park (the park is still closed for winter keep in mind), got out, started blasting old 80's soft rock, and started dancing in the middle of the road.

Now I guess I'll open it up for you guys to share some of your random moments.

Some dude dyed one of the campus fountains green on Saint Patrick's day. What's up with that?

Walking down the sidewalk at night and seeing a car (probably full of drunks) drive by, then the trunk pops open and a guy yells something incoherent from it then he started laughing. I really wanted that car to hit a pothole or something.

I like in a college town and the college cops are endowed there legal status by the state of Oklahoma so i other words they can arrest you any where in Oklahoma....and there all ass holes it a requirement to get the job....Well any way I was going (speeding) down a kinda back road jsut as it started to rain (heavily) when I see a OSU (the college) cop going the opposite direction, he pulls a power slide right behind my car and power slides his ass all the way into the ditch.... I laughed so hard I lost my voice.

During the double hurricane we had here last year, someone dumped live crabs into the fountain.

I was at a theme park two years ago when a huge thunderstorm hit. Some fools decided that it would be a good idea to jump into the huge fountain near the entrance and start swimming around. In the middle of a thunderstorm.

I had a friend in highschool that used to yell out random words during lunch just because he knew most of the people were too stupid to know what the hell they ment. One day he yelled out "Necrophilia". Someone wiating in line for lunch asked what it ment. They got out of line soon after. That was a sastisfying moment. ^_^

That happens to every body of water in the entire city, here. Good times.

Discovering that the only time my allergies are really bad is when my father's in the house...and he's "hiding" the fact that he started smoking again.

Kind of dumb but it makes me feel very smug over the whole thing.

I missed to go to concert as students city (in the circle of the dormatory) yesterday but people tell me there was some major drinkage.

They wanted to put a guy to jump into fountain. So they were figuring out the most suptle ways to make him do it, and when he came, one of these guys spoke before others could:
"Hey, I heard you were afraid to jump into fountain!"
"Who's afraid? I'll show you..."
And so on...

The other guy was looking for bathroom when he found a bed left in the hall for some reason. He laid there and fell asleep. Someone woke him up much later, but he doesn't remember who.

Third guy got sick in a bus on the way back home. And since bus was full of people, he tried to put his head through the window to puke into the air (while bus was moving) without anyone noticing it... I was told that everything ended up on roof and people noticed it when it started leaking down windows.
A piece of "I didn't wanna know that" brought by me.

I live on the third floor of an apartment building, and my air conditioning frequently breaks down. One day sometime last year, I had - on a whim - decided to go outside and get some fresh air since it was getting kind of stuffy inside. I opened the door, stepped out to the walkway's railing, and proceeded to breathe in a lungful of clean air. I wasn't outside for more than a good ten seconds when I heard a funny "twang" noise. I looked over to my left and noticed that one of the power lines that was about the same height as where I was standing was bouncing up and down, and just a few feet below it was the squirrel that had jumped down from it.

I watched as the squirrel fell through the air . . . a not uncommon sight for me, really, since I used to live out in the country and squirrels would occaisionally jump from trees onto the nice, soft earth below. This squirrel wasn't about to land on soft dirt or mud, tho' . . . instead, it slammed flat onto the asphalt of the road that ran alongside the apartment complex. I watched, stunned, as the little bugger jumped up from its nearly thirty-five foot fall onto unforgiving concrete and dashed off into the woods across the road.

I stared after it for a few moments, laughed, shook my head, and went back inside. I'm still not quite sure if it was the squirrel's kamikaze jump itself or the fact that it happened just as I'd walked outside that stunned me the most.

I used to work for a grocery store a long time ago. I was the guy who walked around and collected carts from the parking lot.

One evening, I was out collecting carts. The lot was mostly empty, and I was walking towards a cart when I heard a car accelerating.

Zoooooooom! *BANG!* This guy plows into the cart at forty miles an hour. *SCRREEEECCCHH* He slides to a stop and rolls down his window and shouts to me "Sorry man. Want a beer?"

At the point, the cart is a hundred meters away and rapidly receeding, shooting sparks (it had fallen on it's side). I looked away at it, and back at the guy and shook my head.

"Your loss! Sorry about your cart!" he shouted and drove off.

That was a fairly random event.

Yesterday I reported someone to the police. That was a new experience for me. I feel kind of good about myself, for helping someone (I wasn't at all involved, I just reported it because nobody else did)...but the offender will surely track me down and have me killed, and that's a bummer.

Walking to school one day, a squirrel saw me and seemed to of got afraid of me and instead of staying on the sidewalk where it was safe it ran into oncoming traffic. Needless to say it got hit by 2 cars and laid there in the road twitching.

I was called Squirrel killer for the rest of the semester.

Meh, well this one's better. It's got the same taste, but half the carbs.

A few months ago, I was in a subway station when this middle-aged guy in a business suit walked down the platform to a little compartment in the wall.

He opened it up and stuck his head inside, where there was some kind of huge water pipe. He turned the faucet until there was a huge blast of water hitting him in the face, soaking into his clothing, and running in a big river about 10 feet wide down onto the tracks.

He stood there for several minutes, then turned off the faucet, pulled his head out of the compartment, and walked out of the station.
