- Is there something wild someone has said to you?
What’s the wildest thing someone ever said to you? You’ll have to get into these stories and see what you think.
Story 1
Three of the weirdest things people have said to someone
I am a dude virgin, and as dude virgins go we’re all kinda awkward.
So.
School cafe in the library, 12pm. I was totally beat, I only slept three hours the night before and was totally just, you know, sitting alone, minding my own business.
I noticed three girls chattering away excitedly in the corner of my eye, but I was too focused reading some documents I needed for my schoolwork. A girl from that group came up to me and asked in a quiet voice:
“Can I sit down with you?”
No one was with me, and the table can take four. “Sure.”
She then spoke in a normal voice. “I’m kind of worried.”
I’m like, you’re pouring your concerns to a total stranger? But I listened anyway.
“I think I’m… pregnant.” (Is this the wildest thing
to you yet?)
Said in a manner that 1. anyone within the table’s radius can hear, 2. everyone who heard it would think that I’d done it.
In a strange turn of events, I, feeling up to it, suddenly sprang up on my feet, yelled, “Billie Jean is not my lover” and bailed out of the cafe as fast as I was able.
So I don’t actually know who said the stranger thing between us, me or the girl. Still, what she said was definitely strange enough for me to actually react in such an unconventional manner.
Do you think this was the wildest thing?
Story 2
“She stabbed me. That’s what happened that night. I finally remembered.”
We were standing in the middle of a department store, shopping for vacation clothes, when my husband snapped his fingers, got that epiphany look on his face, and said the above.
“What are you talking about? Who stabbed you?”
“Julie.”
Okay, a little background is necessary at this point. At least a year prior to this conversation, my husband (fiancé at the time) was talking in his sleep. He said, “Mmm, Julie.” To be sure I wasn’t hearing things wrong, I asked, “What did you just say?” And sure enough, he repeated, “Ah mmm, Julie.” He, of course, had zero recollection of the dream the next day, nor could he tell me why he might be dreaming about Julie.
Now, flash forward a year later back to the mall…
“Is this dream Julie?” (Do you think this is the wildest thing so far?)
“Yes, I finally remembered! In my dream, Julie stabbed me, and I was lying there, bleeding to death. You came up to me and said ‘Babe, who did this to you?’ and I moaned ‘Julie.’ I guess you didn’t hear me because you asked again, ‘Babe! Please tell me who did this to you!’ I was barely hanging on, but I moaned one more time, ‘Julie.’”
I just looked at him, completely baffled, before I said, “It took you a year to come up with this lame excuse for moaning another woman’s name in your sleep? A whole year?”
To which he replied, “Hey, I’m not a psychologist. I don’t know why the mind works the way it does. I’m just telling you what happened.”
Was this the wildest thing so far? There’s one more story to decide.
Story 3
So this is the story of me telling someone the strangest thing they have probably ever heard.
I used to train for hiking the Appalachian Trail by walking up the road of a small mountain (hill) three days a week for five years. The only thing at the top of the hill was a state park (Mt. Nebo, AR) so the traffic was minimal in the evenings. For this reason and because it was cooler at night I would walk up the hill from 8pm to 10pm usually. It was easier to see the cars coming in the dark. I kept a flashlight but would only turn it on briefly to check for snakes in the road.
After a couple years it became too easy, so I got a backpack and put some weight in it. Every time I made it to the top in less than 27 minutes I would add some more weight. The only heavy things that I had in the car were some motor oil, anitfreeze and brake fluid. So I threw those in as well.
Later for arm exercise I started carrying two 15lb
dumbbells. But this made it hard to carry my flashlight so I replaced one of them with 15lbs of tow chain that I wrapped around my wrist. (Do you think this is the wildest thing on this list yet?)
One night during the winter I was walking up the hill for the 400th time. I had a big black rain jacket on because it was cold, foggy and drizzling. About half way up I see some emergency blinkers through the fog, so I walk a little closer to see what is going on.
There is a van pulled over to the side of the road. The hood was up and a man was looking under it with a small light. He had a dipstick in his hand. Behind him was his wife observing quietly with a couple small children clinging to her legs. This hill is pretty steep in places so people frequently have trouble with their brakes when coming down.
I was going to turn on my flashlight and make some noise but it gets pretty boring walking up and down the same hill by yourself in the dark hundreds of times. So instead I just pulled my hood down over my face and slowly walked out of the fog into he headlights with my chain making small clinking noises.
They noticed me right away. The whole group pivoted so the wife was behind her husband and the kids were hiding behind her. Nobody said anything.
I slowly walked up to them stopped and stood there for about 10 seconds. Then I asked “Brakes?” They blinked a few times and the husband said something like “low fluid”.
I shrugged off my backpack which weighed about 80lbs. It landed with a thud and they all took a step back and bumped up against the van. I reached inside my pack and grabbed the brake fluid then handed it to the man in front. He took it and just stared at me without saying anything. I put my backpack back on, picked up the chain and dumbbell and quietly walked off into the dark without saying another word. Did this become the wildest thing from the list?
