Just going to post a strange thing that happened to me today and feel free to add your own odd events.
While walking into the office buliding today, I saw man behind me carrying a stack of papers in one hand and a cup of coffee balanced on a file folder in his other hand. I opened the door and held it open for him and said, "here you go!" and he said, "no, no, you go ahead" and held the door open as best he could withou dropping anything. I said, "thanks!" and went through, thinking, well, at least he's chivalrous.
Then as he followed me down the hallway I noticed he was breathing rather heavily. Then as I listened closer I realized he was humming this rather creepy tune. Kinda like how Billy Bob Thornton might hum in that creepy movie ( you know which one I'm talking about!).
Got to the door leading to the staircase and as he was still behind me, I attempted again to hold the door open for him but was refuted as he insisted on holding it for me. Again, with the strange humming and heavy breathing as he followed me up the stairs.
He got off at the floor below me, so there the adventure ended.

I had a weird morning as well where I was going to work singing my happy song and this girl kept trying to hold the door open for me and looking at me in this creepy way (you know what Im sayin). I finally ditched her when I got off the elevator but she stayed on.
About a week ago a fellow who looked rather a lot like the sterotypical image of Jesus Christ walked up to our porch and tried opening the door. I was in the dark (long story) so he didn't see me - not until I jumped up yelling like a bat out of hell, of course. So, the Jesus-impersonator skiddadled at 500 miles an hour away from our porch, and I was stuck telling this little story of unintentional humor to an extraodinarily ignorant policeman for over three hours.
So, here's to hoping Jesus was a one-time thing and that more religious prophet look-alikes don't start trying to rob me, eh?

Better watch out for Ghandi then (i hear he is doing door-to-door in your area)- once that fella gets talking NOTHING will shut his pie-hole!
cheers

Woaaaah man, I didn't think of Ghandi...That guy will be able to slip in through the cracks in my windows! I tell you though - I am especially worried about Buddha - he'd be able to just knock a hole in the wall, come on in, and hold everyone hostage by sitting on 'em while he devours all of our food.

Next time, carry some dog spray i.e mase. Just spray and ask questions later! but remember to shout "Back off MutherF*CKER!" This will help your chances in court.
Here's my story:
I was about 20 years old - living with my family. I was watching tv really late at night about 12am..roughly. I was half asleep..sort of in that state where if you wake up real fast..you can't quite move or speak. Anyway, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man in his 40's walk through our kitchen, into our living room and then out the back door. Which was quite scary because I had a younger brother & sister sleeping in the house and they were 4 and 5 years of age. I wasn't sure if I had actually saw the man or was dreaming. Several minutes later, I get up. I look out the back door. Nothing. Then I hear a car motor. I run to the front office and look out the window. It's a man in a red jeep and he drives away. I didn't call the police - don't ask me why. I can't remember. (Maybe too scared to wake up my dad or afraid my dad would not believe me? My dad is an ass.)
About a month later, I start receiving love letters from some unknown weirdo and it looked like the screen to my window had been removed and footprints under the window. (I always locked my windows) My dad finally called the police in which the podunky police replied that they could not do anything.
So naturally upset, I decided to do what only I could do best. I wrote the perp a letter and taped it to my window. I also found some road kill and left it under the window. In this letter, I wrote that I knew who he was and where he lived because I had gotten his licence number off his red jeep. If he kept coming back..I would stab him like the dead animal that was below my window. I think I also mentioned about violating his bloody body with a stick from a tree...but I won't go into that.
Anyway, the letter was on the ground several yards away and I never heard from the pervert again. The end.

I don't know if this is particularly appropriate but I'll ramble on anyway.
A while back I was browsing a magazine (can't remember what it was, something geeky probably) at my local W H Smith, when a woman walks up to me and boldly says, "I don't like you" and walks off.
Why she said it, I haven't a clue. Who she was, I haven't a clue. Just very strange.
Also, where I live, there's a man who seems to have a dislike of people who wear jeans. You can be walking around town when he'll suddenly make a beeline toward anyone wearing jeans and say something along the lines of "Wearing jeans, absolutely bloody disgraceful. You ought to be locked up. The world's gone mad. Paying taxes so that people can wear jeans. Disgraceful. Jeans. The world's gone mad. Bloody jeans", as he walks past.
He's had a go at me a few times. Quite amusing really, but I think the poor bloke has issues.

He could be a disgruntled ex-Wrangler employee with a grudge, you never know...

Well he could be, you never know. Although, I do doubt it somehow. Everytime I see him I think "Oh heck, here we go!"

Not to me personally, but my mom a few years ago was at the local library browsing through some magazines when a lady walked up to her and mentioned, "You know, you look like this famous celebrity I know! She's dead now, but..."
Another time a while back (from her eyewitness account) she was at the mall minding her own when a roughly 20-yr old black guy walks up to her, says, "You know, for an old lady you're pretty hot!" and walked off.
She's quite the magnet for awkward compliments...
