I've met so many I don't know which to pick. A couple of late night Perth taxi drivers spring to mind - one that picked up my girlfriend and I in Nedlands one night and on the way back to her place at Scarborough, he drove through Claremont - started talking to us about Charles Manson and how he worshipped him, then slowed down as drove past the patrons leaving pubs at closing, pointing out which girls were virgins and the methods he would use to sacrifice them. We surreptitiously took down his taxi registration card number and reported him to the both the police and the taxi control board when we got home - neither wanted to know about it. A year or so later when the girls started to go missing and murdered from Claremont and the suspect was thought to be a taxi driver, I phoned and told them the date we'd reported our driver and to check him out, don't know if they ever did. The other taxi driver that springs to mind was the guy who had died once and since he'd woken from his coma after several months, he had a guy in a white suit who followed him everywhere. This guy never spoke to him, but was always spotted at a distance or across the room, just watching him.

Another real loony (poor woman) was the lady that came in demanding to see my obstetrician when I was waiting for my six week post natal checkup. The receptionist phoned the doctor and then told the lady she couldn't see him, she started ranting about how she'd escaped from the hospital because they had implanted lasers and tracking devices into her vagina and she needed to doctor to get them out as aliens had picked up on the devices and if the lasers didn't kill her, the aliens would be there any minute to finish her off. They phoned the police and the doctor came and got me, my newborn and my two year old and hid us in his office until she was dragged out there kicking and screaming in handcuffs. The funniest thing about it was we all forgot about my poor mother in law who'd accompanied me to the doctors and left her in the waiting area with the miss loony and the other waiting patients.

About 25 years ago I found an older lady lying on the side of the road, with a bicycle on top of her. I went over to see if she was ok. She looked up, blinking and said, "I'm fine love. It's just those bloody Russians. They came down from space and knocked me off my bike. Well, they knocked me off and they can pick me up, I'm not moving till then!".
I couldn't persuade her to move, so in the end had to phone the police.
Poor lady.

When I first moved to London I was sitting on the tube, opposite a man reading a newspaper. He was quite fidgity for a few minutes before lifting up his newspaper revealing his not very impressive manhood. I just burst out laughing and pointing, to draw attention to him. I know he was trying to frighten me (I was only 18), but he was the embarrassed one and got up and left at the next station.

A few years back, went on a mates stag do weekender to Barcelona. Went in a bar down at the Olympic port and this old fella took a liking to one of our group. Stuck to him like a limpet, jabbering on about god knows what. I don't even think it was in Spanish either. Then without warning, he suddenly produced this tea-towel out of his pocket, laid it out on the floor and started dancing round it in some sort of bizarre Spanish/Irish jig, laughing and pointing to our mate.

Complete fruitloop!


Another time, I met this guy who thought it would be quick, easy and hassle free to get a visa to Aus. Oh wait, that was me. :rolleyes:

I had a frightening experience in a Tesco open air car park a few months before I moved out here about 8 years ago. I was looking for a parking spot when I saw a man in my rear view mirror in the car behind gesticulating and looking really angry. I was stunned because I wasn't being slow or anything and had no idea why he looked so furious. Anyway as I turned the corner and he was coming round behind me I stopped my car, undid the window and said, incredulously, "What's the matter?", which seemed to send him even more off the deep end and he just started swearing at me. I then said (stupidly, in hindsight), "Alright, calm down!". At this he jumped out of the car and came striding towards me and I'm telling you, he was going to bloody kill me. I put my foot on the gas and shot out into the traffic, and for once, thank God, there wasn't a queue to join the traffic. I was really shaken up and I remember a couple of Tesco lads having a fag on their break standing there with their mouths wide open when they saw this guy get out of his car to come and get me. I spoke to a mate later who was in the police force and he said the guy was definitely on drugs to be so incensed at something I hadn't even done.:(

I am the original nutter magnet:

As a kid (8 or so) a guy used to appear at our park and get his penis out everytime we went to the park- it was a big park so I think he followed little kids around as we saw him 5-6 times. He was reported to the police.

On the tube over a matter of months, there was an elderly bloke wearing skintight linen trousers, through which he rubbed his rather unpleasant erection. Saw him many times before he was hopefully arrested.

On buses, the wierdo nutter always makes a beeline for me. Huge Jamacian woman sat on me once and told me her life story : "I arrived yesterday from Kingston, my son gave me 800quid and it was stolen last night. DID YOU STEAL IT???? Do you want to come to church with me? HAVE YOU GOT MY MONEY? Do you like living in London? YOU ARE A THIEF"...etc. I had trouble getting off the bus as she as rather amply proportioned.

and many many more....

I once met Luma

Re: Lunatic Encounters... please share.
 

Hmmm. No such thing as an unpleasant erection - just an inconvenient one...

As in: My wife pointed out a gaggle of girls in bikinis at the pool the other day and said "it's nice how things stick up at that age!".

Re: Lunatic Encounters... please share.
 

No- it was unpleasant...he wore skin tight almost see through trousers through which you could see every aspect of his erection....not what you want to see when having just had breakfast....

I log on to BE.......

I was staying at a youth hostel in Aberdeen in the mid 1990s (was on a 3 month back packing tour of Europe).

I was sharing a room with a very odd, middle aged bloke with scraggly long blonde hair. He returned to the room drunk late that night and proceeded to bore me to tears about how he was going to donate his possessions and money to children's charities after he departed this earth (and by the look of him, probably not long after I met him).

Then we had a lull in the conversation to which he blurts out "by the way, did you know I am wearing women's underwear?". My throat constricted at this point as I'd lost the power of speech. He followed it up with "do you want to see me in them?". I managed to squeak out a "no", but it didn't stop him from gleefully leaving the room, turning the light out and around 30 seconds later appearing starfish like (and as a sort of silhouette) in the doorframe wearing just a pair of women's knickers and a bra!

He then did a running jump into the bunk bed below me. In the morning, he was gone. Very weird.

Met loads of other weirdos, nutters and generally odd people during my travels. Will never hitch hike again after a few close calls....

I did witness a funny scene on Putney Bridge one night back around the year 2000.

A weirdo was harassing a poor woman who was waiting for a bus heading south (maybe towards Southfields?). He kept on muttering "how do I get to London" in a drawly sort of manner. She kept repeating to him "you need to catch the XYZ bus on the other side of the road". He circled her and repeated the question over and over again. She squirmed uncomfortably and could not leave her waiting post.

Eventually the bus on the other side of the road turned up and she practically pushed him across the road so as to get rid of him. About 30 seconds later, her bus turned up and she (looking very relieved) walked inside and went upstairs.

Almost immediately, the nutter quickly ran back across the road and just got onto her bus in time. As her bus pulled away, the last thing I saw was Mr Fruitloop climbing up the bus's stairs and heading in her direction....

Taxi Drivers! I used to get a taxi back from the city if I went late night shopping after work on a Friday and this one particular taxi driver would always be the one to turn up, he would always comment on where I lived and how and looked and ask if my boyfriend was at home etc. One time he pulled up and I paid him and he looks at the house and comments how the lights are off so it must mean no one's in....I was only 17 at the time and he really creeped me out. I went in, turned every light on, locked all the doors and phoned my bf to come home, I swear I didn't hear him drive off for a good 5 or 10mins.

One other taxi driver springs to mind...I have really long dark hair and he would comment on it and then ask if my bf liked it, and did he run his hands through it and what did I do with it when we were in bed together! WTF :eek: Needless to say I reported him and did not us that company ever again.
