What's the Most Bizarre Thing That Happened to You Today?

I'll tell you mine. Tonight at a Shell Gas Station a man started serenading me. While I am accustomed to a bit of oggling, (as noted earlier in another post) this has never happened. I had just gotten my hair cut and blown out and I must admit I looked a bit saucy. So I'm pumping my gas, minding my own beeswax and this dude is at the pump across from me singing. I thought at first he was talking to himself, but no - he was serenading me with James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" which was also blaring from his car radio. It was so damn random, I didn't even know what to do. He was pointing at me and smiling as he serenaded. I honestly thought I was being taped for a reality show or something. He had to have been about 22 years old and I was in Broadripple Village - which could explain it - Drunk/Stoned Frat Boy (I am very familiar with this type of oggling).

I mean, I've seen bizarre stuff before. Random things happen to me and my friends all the time, but nothing this random to me - alone. Rewind a year and Jennie and I are in Manhattan strolling when a man on roller skates tosses a bottle at us and yells at Jennie for breaking up with him and breaking his heart - But that's Manhattan for you. And again last summer in D.C. when a group of us went out for dinner and libation during Jennie and Anu's wedding weekend and we watched a man chug a gallon of milk like a 40 oz beer outside a 7-11 and then wound up at a convenience store rave (Thanks to Mark for bringing this back up as Jennie likes to roll her eyes when Brian and I mention it).

So back to the James Blunt thing. I am familiar with the tune. But I had to go home and make sure I re-read the lyrics. Here is the portion that was sung at me and upon reading the lyrics, it explains quite a bit:

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do,

Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by.

She could see from my face that I was, Fucking high,

And I don't think that I'll see her again,

But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

1. I am beautiful...it's true.

2. The Shell Gas Station was a crowded place.

3. He could have easily been "fucking high".

4. We did share a moment. Sadly, it didn't last.

He was still serenading as I pulled away, so flustered that I forgot my receipt. Maybe I should visit gas stations in Broadripple Village more often. Maybe next time I'll get Dave Matthews Band "Dreamgirl". One can only hope.

So - what's the most bizarre thing that happened to you today? or any day? I'd love to hear it.
