Legendary old Hollywood comedian Buster Keaton had a very specific type of persona - no matter what happened to his character during the film, no matter what ridiculous situations he got into, he always kept a "poker face" of a sort. Well, many of the characters in our selection today are somewhat similar to Buster Keaton...

Today we have the honor of presenting to you a list of three dozen stories that netizens witnessed when someone, while in public, behaved in a completely strange way. Strange - if not stupid. However, it is up to you to decide how stupid it was.

More info: Reddit

Man stretching leg on a road in casual sportswear, embodying cringe in front of strangers. I was working the front desk at a gym. An older guy swiped his card to check in at the same time as a decent-sized t**d slid out of his shorts and fell to the carpeted floor. He was about to go in to the locker room like nothing happened but I said "Sir?" and pointed at it in shock. He turned around, looked at it, picked it up in his bare hand and kept going in to the locker room like he had just picked up his keys or something.

I looked at the personal trainer next to me and we looked at each other like wtf?

One of our customers violently pooped himself in our computer lab (on an upholstered chair, no less) and got very angry when my supervisor told him he could not, in fact, sit in his poop and finish checking his email. I know illness happens, but I'd have slunk out after the first...uh..nugget.

At a guess, he was horribly embarrassed at it himself and just trying desperately to run away and pretend it hadn't happened then when he got called out on it he was just hoping (delusionally) that people wouldn't see him pick it up and take it away.

    Person cutting their own hair with scissors in a public setting, appearing unaffected by strangers around them. I worked at public libraries for many years and one of the most random things I’ve seen was turning a corner and seeing a woman hunched over cutting her hair onto the floor. Just…trimming her hair and letting it fall all over the library floor. Checking the ends to make sure they were good…then trimming some more.

    All customer service training went out the window as I bellowed “What are you doing!?! NO! JUST…NO!” She had the grace to look ashamed and try and scoop up all her little hair pieces.

    LoL We had two teens doing each other's hair in one of the aisles, complete with spray, brush, curling iron, and blow dryer. Had to explain why a plugged-in curling iron probably shouldn't be propped on top of flammable materials.

    Homeless people like libraries to stay warm or cool. Some libraries actually have programs to help homeless people. Not all homeless people are jobless. They need a place to go online and find resources. Please don't let our libraries disappear. I loved mine as a kid after school.

    I went into a public bathroom (unisex disabled cubicle) and some guy had used the sink/mirror to shave. There was stubble EVERYWHERE. All over the sink. And yet somehow it's only slightly more gross than this.

    Man walking with a guide dog and white cane on a sunny day, exemplifying a normal activity. Dude went out of his way to hit my friend's service dog with a cart at Costco. He then proceeded to follow them around the store because he thought it was funny how the dog would get visibly stressed out when he approached with the cart. Piece of s**t was wearing a "Back the Blue" shirt too of course, like sir are you aware you are committing a felony?

    It all started, as often happens, in the AskReddit community, where a couple of days ago the user u/Such_Alternative1975 asked the question: "What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever seen someone do in public like it was completely normal?"

    Oh, I wish they hadn't done that - because the comments (and there are now over 1.3K of them) have become such a cringe festival that it was damn hard for us to choose stories for you, believe me. But we did it.

    Smiling woman handing a credit card across a desk, embodying a normal social interaction in a professional setting. Had a lady light a cigarette in the bank the other day. This was after insisting that the gold $100 bill she tried to give me was real. The, she told my manager to f**k off and that she wasn't the manager. She clearly wasn't well, but it was all wild.

    Some of the situations described here can be explained by a simple word - alcohol. Or something even stronger and worse. A drunk person's threshold for assessing moral values ​​is greatly reduced, and they are ready to do things that they would never do under any circumstances if they were sober. Moreover, they sometimes sincerely consider what they are doing to be funny or cool.

    Alcohol affects people's consciousness in different ways - some fall asleep peacefully after a couple of glasses, while for others, on the contrary, all the fuses in their heads turn off, and their inner trickster wakes up. If you remember the plot of the old comedy The Hangover, you will definitely know what I'm talking about.

    A shiny razor and a blade on a white towel, with a shaving brush in the background, exemplifying personal grooming tools. Knickers round one ankle, skirt hoiked up at the front, leg up on the sink for easy access hacking away at her pubes with a razor in a supermarket toilet.

    We made direct eye contact. I walked right back out of there.

    A separate category of situations is when people think that they aren't seen by anyone else. And then, it must be said, completely unexpected instincts awaken in many of us. For example, to eat food that has fallen on the floor, to throw garbage past the trash can on the street, and even to commit some minor offense. For example, to break traffic rules...

    In fact, much of our life is the result of the so-called "social contract" between people, that is, not the absolute truth, but the result of people's agreement to consider it as such. And we, when we're not seen (or we think that we are not seen), involuntarily protest against these "game rules." And then we're surprised to be caught doing something completely unhinged.

    Cleaning supplies on the floor, featuring a mop, bucket, and two bottles, part of an everyday cleaning setup. Saw a chick go into a sandwich shop while drunk with her friends, and instead of waiting to use the bathroom, just squatted over the mop bucket in the dining room and pissed like it was no big deal in front of a full crowd of strangers.

    Person with a dog on a leash, standing in a forest, showcasing normal behavior in a natural setting. I saw someone pick up dog poop with their bare hand at the dog park and then walk to throw it out in the trash can.

    Most ironic part about the whole thing is that there were bags that they could have used right next to the trash can. I wonder about people sometimes.

    Oh man, I've got two large-breed dogs and the times when I've accidentally poked through a poop bag whilst picking up after them... yeah, nope. It's only happened a few times and it's enough to make me immediately go wash my hands vigorously all the way up to the elbows. I cannot even fathom just picking up a poopie bare-handed. I have, however, panicked when I've heard one of the cats making that "special sound" and I've run forward and put my cupped hands underneath their faces and caught a hairball bare-handed more than once XD However, touching hairballs and the occasional food-hork somehow doesn't seem as gross as touching actual feces...

    People who will clean up after their animals are the best pet owners! Keep on doing it. But have a bag. Please have a bag. You have a bag. You have a bag. And you have a bag. ALL OF YOU have bags! And I'm never going to shake hands again with anybody at the dog park. Or even anybody with a leash anywhere.

    Of course, there are situations when smart people just do some completely stupid things. Why does this actually happen? For example, because sometimes "dizziness from success" happens, people acquire irrational confidence in their own infallibility - and even having made a mistake, they try to convince others that it was not a mistake, or that they had actually planned to do it exactly that way.

    "When smart people make dumb mistakes, it usually isn’t because of stupidity, ignorance, or apathy," Donalee Markus Ph.D. says in her article on Psychology Today. "They make dumb mistakes because they’ve been seduced by their own success, and the rewards of success help them develop expectations about how things are supposed to be."

    Of the stories we’re telling you today, examples like these make up a significant, if not the most significant, share as well.

Takes the glass, puts it in her handbag and walks out. I was about to go get the glass back when the manager stopped me and said “It’s probably not worth it…”.

    A person sitting on a brown sofa in a library, using a laptop, surrounded by colorful books. I was tutoring a student at a public library in Orlando, and the student was unusually distracted, periodically glancing behind me over my shoulder.

    Eventually I asked the student what was up and he told me that a man behind me was watching p**n on one of the library computers behind me. He was a college kid, so I didn't figure that he could be that phased.

    When I turned around, what I saw, with absolutely no effort to conceal it, was an old man watching naked, morbidly obese women being aggressively strangled.

    A hand holds a partially melted, two-tone popsicle in a public space, capturing a cringey moment. Watched someone on the bus eating ice cream bars, one after the other, out of a box. Finished one box, started another. About half way through that box they paused, rummaged around in their many bags, came out with a needle, and stabbed it into their thigh, and continued eating the ice cream.

    I watched a guy eat an entire packet of mini cupcakes washed down with milk on the bus once. The kicker was that he didn't have any teeth, so he gummed down his little feast and left a whole heap of crumbs and other detritus on the floor. And that wasn't even close to the worst thing I've seen someone do on a bus.

    Person at checkout scanning items while a family waits, depicting a normal store interaction with strangers present. Y'know those plastic dividers the cashiers at the supermarket use to divide your groceries from someone else's? I saw a cashier at Safeway pick one of those up, insert it down inside his shirt to scratch his back, and then put it right back on the conveyor belt in between the groceries as if that was a perfectly normal thing to do. 🤢🤮

    I went home and promptly called the manager to report it.

    Skiers on a snowy mountain under a clear blue sky, with distant peaks visible in the background. To make a very, very long story short, I worked at a ski resort with company housing. I had a super creepy housemate who, over the course of the winter, went progressively more insane. One of the final straws leading up to his firing took place at the childrens bunny hill while I was taking a group of kids to their ski lesson.

    I see him sitting outside the shack at the top of the lift, feet resting on the controls, wearing nothing but a speedo, and shaving his head with a pair of clippers.
    It was the middle of february, well below freezing, and this man was sitting in a lawnchair in a speedo, shaving his head on the bunny hill.
    I said, "jesus christ man! what are you doing!?"
    And he calmy replied "well... there was an outlet up here."
    He gestured towards the outlet the clippers were plugged into.
    The kids are looking at me like, "Who the hell is that guy?"

    That was one of the thousands of insane things I saw that man do in public.

    Bowl of cheese puffs against a dark textured background, illustrating a typical snacking moment among strangers. Back in early pandemic times I was stuck in a long line at the grocery store and this couple in front of me was ignoring their child.

    Everyone is masked up, a bunch of ppl had gloves.

    This kid was stuffing cheesy puffs into the keyhole on the grocery cart and then sucking the cheese puff paste out of it. This went on for at least 30 minutes, cheese puff after cheese puff.

    No one stopped him.

    Metropolitan Police SUV parked on a city street, showcasing its distinctive design and markings. I watched a woman walk completely naked down the street from a bus window. A moment later a cop car comes careening around the corner and the bus driver points and tells them the direction she went in. Apparently she wasn’t a first time offender.

    People out of their heads on some types of d***s (LSD for one) quite often feel incredibly hot so strip off to cool down.

    I lived near a nursing home and caught a few old naked people as they absconded. I had a towel at the front door for a while until they fixed the lock.

    Alzheimer's or maybe even sleep walking. I hope I never do this as I sleep naked too. (One reason why I don't take that one sleeping pill).

    But was she threatening anyone or was she just being a naked human?

    does it even matter if she was threatening anyone? public nudity is a crime.

    Hand pulling a wet wipe from a colorful package, capturing a potentially cringiest moment in public. Clean her whole car with baby wipes in front of a Ross. Windshield, tires, everything. There was a car wash across the street.

    they were probably car wipes, they are literally meant for this. Exactly the same type of pack.

    I have kept baby wipes in my car since my kids were small. Now using on grandkids. Great for cleaning them up, the seat, cup holders, etc. Don't always have the time or money for the car wash

    Man wearing a brown coat shopping in a clothing store, holding a bag amidst strangers. I saw a guy try and return a pair of trousers in a shop that had s**t stains on the butt. The poor store clerk didnt know what to do. I suspect it was his kink or something.. maybe?

    The shop had shít stains on the butt? Why do people find it so difficult to correctly construct a sentence? EDIT: FFS! Dearest downvoters, please tell me how "..in a shop that had s**t stains on the butt" makes sense.

    "in a shop'" is a prepositional phrase explaining where he was while returning the pants...its really not that hard.

    In isolation, yes, it makes sense, but add the rest of the sentence for the full context and you get '..try and return a pair of trousers in a shop with shít stains on the bútt'. The correct construction would be 'I saw a guy in a shop who was trying to return a pair of trousers with shít stains on the bútt'. It really isn't that hard at all.

    OK so the phrases "in a shop" and "try and return..." were flipped. NBD I understand the need to just blurt out this disgusting thought without thinking too much about it.

    Raw steak on parchment paper, garnished with rosemary and pepper, showcasing a cringy food presentation. Sitting in the deli/bakery seating of a grocery store having a coffee and donut when a man sits next to us with a grocery bag and he takes out a giant steak still in the packaging that he clearly just bought, and pulls out a small bottle of seasoning salt from his coat pocket and proceeds to eat the whole raw steak with his hands making sure to salt every bite. It was absolutely foul.

    Just a raw steak sounds a bit excessive but to eat raw meat or fish is not uncommon (steak tartare, Carpaccio, Filet Americain, Sushi, Dutch Herring). If it is dangerous really depends on what part of the world you are in I guess....

    Long ago and far away, I had a Lebanese friend and I got a taste of raw kibbeh. This was long before I had ever heard of e-coli and this one was made with ground beef. I tell you it was delicious but due to e-coli concerns I have never had it again. Believe me cooked kibbeh is not the same.

    Person in a white tank top opening a water bottle outdoors, performing a normal action in public. Someone at the airport who looked not homeless grabbed an empty plastic bottle from the recycling bin, walked to the water fountain, filled it up and drank from it.

    One time at an airport I noticed my car starting to overheat, and checking the engine I saw it was low on water (turns out the radiator was busted, very expensive repair later on) In a pinch, I grabbed an empty bottle on the trash and filled it up in the bathroom, only to notice the judging eyes of a cashier on the store right in front of the source trashcan. "Mate, the way they overcharge us on everything here, I prefer to try my luck with literal garbage!". It was a bit mean in retrospect, but when in hell, hug the devil!

    Man in blue beanie and gloves sits on concrete floor, embracing himself. I was having a conversation with a homeless man when another homeless man walked up, didn't say a single word, pulled a bottle of vodka out of his trench coat and handed it to the man I was speaking to. The man I was speaking to proceeded to open the bottle, start chugging it, choke, and spit it all over me. He gave me a "my bad" look and walked away. I stood there stunned and then a lady that watched the whole thing called the police and the guy got arrested. It was so strange and really gross.

    Sometimes spitting on someone can be counted as a*****t or battery.

    Calling the police on a homeless person for something minor like this is pure class. Hope she was really proud of herself.

    Because the police would need to talk to the victim to understand what happened and if it was a crime. Then the homeless guy is arrested and the victim is looped into the process and what happens next until the victim withdraws charges or the homeless guy is convicted or pleads guilty. Where I'm from, you recieve notices in the mail when the perpetrator is about to or definitely is being released from prison. So how many ways would you like to know how the victim knew the homeless guy got arrested?
