I am not sure if nobody believes me, perhaps some do. Yet, inexplicable things have indeed happened.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 0 points 5 months ago

What would you say is number 2 in the order of most inexplicable to most explicable?

People don't believe that I chased after people in the desert.

I rolled a Hummer on a high-speed pursuit in the Chocolate Mountains on the Mexico/US border and was ejected. I got amnesia from the impact, but besides that and some scrapes, I was fine.

I had a popular youtuber in my hotel room at one point at a convention recrntly but they were in a fursuit and I only recognized them by their voice. I promised them I would not say who they are but even if I said who it was I doubt people would believe it because they are not a furry youtuber.

edit: Someone guessed it but I'm not gonna confirm who.

When I was 10, I went on a trip to Venezuela. At this restaurant in Caracas, I went into the bathroom. It was a single person bathroom. For some reason the door had slide locks on both sides. While I was in there, some kid locked the door from the outside (I could see through a narrow gap). It was a real door, not a stall door. I couldn't unlock it. I started panicking a little and kicking the door. Eventually a waiter let me out.

I'm still confused about why that door could be locked on the outside.

I heard about a Chinese Tourist couple going to somewhete in Southeast Asia (I think I was like Cambodia or Thailand, can't quite remember), and in a restaurant the woman went to the bathroom while the husband (or boyfriend? forgot the details) waited, then a long time came by and he went to check and she wasn't there, and there was another door in the bathroom, like a door within the bathroom that leads to a backdoor out of the restaurant or something, basically, someone entered through the other door (which doesn't go through the main restaurant) and just kidnapped her. Local law enforcement couldn't find her, and their embassy couldn't do much.

She was found at a circus in I think the same country like 2 or 3 year later, very close to the restaurant they were at, and she no longer recognizes her husband, or any relatives for that matter, like she got brainwashed / memory lost or something.

That story was creepy as hell, no idea if it was true or some heresay shit. But I'm not surprised, tourists get kidnapped all the time.

Edit: Also, because of this story, my mom got afraid of certain bathrooms lol. Like we went to some national/state park in the US, and there are public bathrooms, and my mom (she told me the aforementioned story btw) saw some other door inside the bathroom (I think its for maintaince workers where they store cleaning tools something) and she got scared and was deciding if we should go somewhere else for bathroom, but ultimate decided to just use the bathroom and left the door unlocked while my dad waited outside. Nothing happened. But while we were leaving, some dude walked by and she got scared lol.

I've worked on communication towers for about 25 years now. Back when I first started (like 2 years), a hawk swooped down a hit me in the back of the head.

The one guy on the ground didn't see. Old hardhat, so hard to till what marks it left. I'm betting it did leave some kind of mark, it kinda rang my bell.

Had a green baklava on over the hardhat, so I don't think it confused me with something else. No nest on the tower, but it did have a nest somewhat near by.

Edit: "hard to tell" "balaclava"

[-] svtdragon@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Maybe the hawk had a sweet tooth?

Back when I was in high school, a student a couple years before me bit off a bite of an apple and pretended that it was a grenade and threw it, but the apple hit an alarm bell, and then the fire alarm went off and the school had to be evacuated which resulting in them sending two firetrucks to clear the school. I don't know if it was a coordinated move where he would throw it and his friend manually set off the alarm, or if the apple hitting the alarm bell damaged the alarm somehow which triggered the fire alarm to go off.

I know, it doesn't sound believable to me either, but I'll never forget it because I saw it lol

Also I was sitting eating lunch with one of my friends in high school, and someone randomly walked by and threw a piece of bread at me. None of us even knew that person or ever saw them before, but we referred to that event as "drive by bread". There was also "drive by rat" but that's a story for another day lmao

I once waited in line at a costume shop while two guys argued about whether getting hit by a ship voided the "no fault" deposit warranty on a moose costume.

I was riding my moose one day, when we almost got ran over by some dude in a ship

I almost shot myself in the knee with an arrow. I was at an archery taster session and the arrow bounced off a wooden block on the edge of the target. Arrow came flying back at me and cut a few threads on the knee pad of my trousers as it brushed my leg.
