Legendary old Hollywood comedian Buster Keaton had a very specific type of persona - no matter what happened to his character during the film, no matter what ridiculous situations he got into, he always kept a "poker face" of a sort. Well, many of the characters in our selection today are somewhat similar to Buster Keaton...
Today we have the honor of presenting to you a list of three dozen stories that netizens witnessed when someone, while in public, behaved in a completely strange way. Strange - if not stupid. However, it is up to you to decide how stupid it was.

Used to work in a pub. Had a crazy old lady ask for a half of bitter. Takes the glass, puts it in her handbag and walks out. I was about to go get the glass back when the manager stopped me and said “It’s probably not worth it…”.

I once saw a woman in a supermarket queue eating a whole stick of butter like it was an ice cream. I moved to the next queue. .

Watched someone on the bus eating ice cream bars, one after the other, out of a box. Finished one box, started another. About half way through that box they paused, rummaged around in their many bags, came out with a needle, and stabbed it into their thigh, and continued eating the ice cream.

Walking down the street in Barcelona and a guy takes his phone out and full on licks the screen to clean it. Whole tongue out using the entire surface, with force, for at least the 3 steps he walked by me !!

Y'know those plastic dividers the cashiers at the supermarket use to divide your groceries from someone else's? I saw a cashier at Safeway pick one of those up, insert it down inside his shirt to scratch his back, and then put it right back on the conveyor belt in between the groceries as if that was a perfectly normal thing to do. 🤢🤮
I went home and promptly called the manager to report it.

Some homeless woman cascade vomiting on the bus seat in front of her, then asking the bloke she barely missed to fish out her dentures and hand them back to her.

Back in early pandemic times I was stuck in a long line at the grocery store and this couple in front of me was ignoring their child.
Everyone is masked up, a bunch of ppl had gloves.
This kid was stuffing cheesy puffs into the keyhole on the grocery cart and then sucking the cheese puff paste out of it. This went on for at least 30 minutes, cheese puff after cheese puff.
No one stopped him.

At the gas station I saw a woman in a wheelchair insert her card into the reader with her mouth and used her tongue to press the number buttons. Initially I was saddened by this (in addition to being horrified), then I noticed that she was accompanied by an able-bodied man who stood and watched it happen.

Watched a man peeling a banana on an early morning commuter public bus. As he peeled it, it broke, and most of it fell onto the floor. It even rolled. He looked around (didn't see me watching him) and then picked it up and ate it. OFF THE FLOOR OF A BUS.

I watched a woman walk completely naked down the street from a bus window. A moment later a cop car comes careening around the corner and the bus driver points and tells them the direction she went in. Apparently she wasn’t a first time offender.

Two people smacking each other with umbrellas in a fight. This happened at the university I used to attend.
At least I got morning entertainment before a dull lecture.

Sitting in the deli/bakery seating of a grocery store having a coffee and donut when a man sits next to us with a grocery bag and he takes out a giant steak still in the packaging that he clearly just bought, and pulls out a small bottle of seasoning salt from his coat pocket and proceeds to eat the whole raw steak with his hands making sure to salt every bite. It was absolutely foul.

Someone at the airport who looked not homeless grabbed an empty plastic bottle from the recycling bin, walked to the water fountain, filled it up and drank from it.

I was having a conversation with a homeless man when another homeless man walked up, didn't say a single word, pulled a bottle of vodka out of his trench coat and handed it to the man I was speaking to. The man I was speaking to proceeded to open the bottle, start chugging it, choke, and spit it all over me. He gave me a "my bad" look and walked away. I stood there stunned and then a lady that watched the whole thing called the police and the guy got arrested. It was so strange and really gross.
