Top 5 Recent Odd Sightings 1
Baffled
Odd sightings. They are one of life’s little treats, to make you have a bit of a giggle, leave you baffled with a WTF? moment, and best of all make you realise just how normal you actually are. Here are some particularly odd sightings I have come across in the past few months…
1. The woman wearing bright yellow short-shorts at the gym, which were strangely padded and so therefore happened to look like a giant nappy…….
2. The man power walking down a suburban street at around 1.15 AM (I was driving home after a few drinks in town but can assure you I was sober). He was really getting into his power-walk big time – briskly swinging his arms with hand-weights, and swaying hips with a look of pure concentration. Just odd.
3. The man at the supermarket checkout in front of me who purchased nothing but bleach, methylated spirits and a box of matches. Hmmm.
4. The man who doesn’t sway his arms when he walks. He lets them just hang by his side. I see him most days on my walk to work and I often cross the street to avoid him because he freaks me out in a kind of Frankenstein manner.
5. And yesterday, the elderly couple in their (probably) 70s having a deep embrace at the bus stop which I happened to be walking past at around 5.30pm. PDA is seriously getting out of control. Couldn’t help but wonder if their teeth would become loose with all that tongue action? Naasty. I guess romance is still alive.
Seen any odd sightings yourself lately?

Yesterday I was hanging out in Panmure, waiting while my friend got an awesome tattoo from Kris at Monsta’s Ink in Clifton Court. Sitting in the sun talking to a guy outside, and a couple who looked to be in their early 30s came wandering along, stopping periodically to compare something they each had in their hands and which they had picked up from the ground. When I looked a bit harder I saw it was cigarette butts! They then rolled up a ciggie from the collected tobacco leftovers and smoked it together! Puke.
