What is the most bizarre situation you've been in?

1. Got pick pocketed on vacation. Started crying when I realised my money was missing. It was a fair amount. Pick pocketer saw me crying and came back to return my money to me.

2. I hosted a party at my house and sent an invitation to all of my facebook friends with the message "invite whoever you want". Ended up getting too drunk and passed out in my bed. I woke up in the morning with a splitting headache and a horrible feeling in my stomach that I was about to walk out into a disaster zone. The whole house was spotless, all the drinks had been cleared up and the carpet had been vacuumed. The guests who stayed over had cleaned up everything without my help. It was very unusual but in the best possible way.

3. I was never the type of person to go out and have adventures. This one day, though, because I was starting to get to know this girl, I took a risk and went with her and her friends to Pedra da Gavea, a hiking place here in Rio. Here is the thing, I know very little about hiking and once we were there I realized that I was gonna make a fool of myself, so I pretty much ditched her and her friends without them noticing, which was sadly very easy. Problem was, I didn't have my cellphone with me, and I thought I knew more or less how to get back. I didn't. It sounds stupid, I know, looking at the map now I know that I should've just gone ahead and everything would have been fine. 20 minutes in I realized that I had no idea where I was and I could see nothing resembling a path I could to to find people. Then, out of nowhere, this one guy pass by me and asks me if I knew how to get to Joá, which is the road beside the mountain. I didn't, I didn't even know where I was. I told him I was lost myself, and he giggled a little and told me that maybe we could help each other by tracing our steps. It is amazing to me now how easy it is to get lost. Look in the map, the place is not very big, the trouble was that I was not staying in one direction, I was sort of zigzagging away from the mountain towards a few other small hills where there is... well, nothing. Crazy enough, after a few conversations about direction, sun light and stupidity, we found other two guys walking around one of the hills. From the distance, they seemed very confident and I was relieved. We asked them if they knew how to get to the road. And that little "no, we are lost too" made me feel something I never felt before. I thought I was dreaming. There was no way four people were lost at the time in the same place, all of us without means of contacting anyone. The four of us continued to be lost for about an hour. After walking a lot, we managed to see the end of Garganta do Céu, and at the bottom of it, the road. From them on, it was easy. TL:DR; I was lost at Pedra da Gavea, in Rio and I found other three people who were lost too.

4. One on one tutoring with a young man accused of murdering someone in a gang shoot out of some kind. At the beginning of the year I was sending his homework to jail while he was awaiting jail. For some reason they released him back to his family with an ankle monitor (most likely overcrowding.) The school wouldn't let him attend during normal hours, but he needed a little help. So he would come to my office during my office hours and the SRO would sit in a chair nearby while I went over Shakespeare with him. Very polite, soft spoken, nice kid. Never once said a mean thing about anyone or anything, he was very interested in what we were reading, and enjoyed helping me grade other students' work because it made him feel like he was participating. Last I heard he plead guilty to manslaughter. It's hard to reconcile the sixteen year old kid who like books with a murderer.

5. I went to the beach one night with a bunch of friends to have some beers and smoke some weed. Right after we got there, though, several of the girls pass the fuck out after like one beer. Full on, dead weight, bag of hammers level consciousness. Of course me and my friends like "Oh no." I guess they took klonopin because "you get drunk faster." I'd never heard of it. So then, me and 4-5 college aged dudes, who were themselves buzzed and a little too high for comfort, had to drag a handful of these all the way passed out college girls out of the beach, in the dark, over the dunes. When we finally got back to the parking lot the gate was locked and we were stuck. Hooray. So we had to call the police to let us out. While we sat there looking exceptionally date-rapey, while baked and drinking underage and while I guess probably trespassing. The cop yelled at us for being locked in. Somehow our intense nervousness and the passed out 20 year olds in the cars did not tip him off. Weirdest night ever.

6. This was years ago, but I was going to pick up some weed. My dealer opened the door wearing a bullet-proof vest and a gun. I immediately knew something was wrong. This was a new look for him. I walk in and on the kitchen table is a fucking MOUNTAIN of weed. Just sitting out. There's about four other dudes sitting at the table I'd never seen before, but fuck it, I sat down. As soon as I sat down, I see that he's got a fucking python out on the table too. The snake is just slithering around in the weed and around the scale and stuff. The dude next to me starts talking to his friend and it becomes apparent they are planning a TRAIN ROBBERY. Suddenly, I realize I'm over my head. I was expecting the fucking SWAT team to bust through the window hanging from a helicopter any second. Then, his girlfriend comes out and starts fucking screaming at him and they start screaming, and the dude beside me pulls out some whiskey and starts drinking it... I got my herb and GTFO of there. Never went back. He called me about three years later out of the blue. He asked me if I wanted to buy some speakers. What the fuck. Nope.

7. Thailand, ping pong show. Bunch of my friends and me (white in our late 20s) sitting watching girls pull stuff out of there vag and throw it at Thai guys in the audience who proceed to let it touch their mouth and face area (wtf). Show ends with 2 people having sex in every position imaginable on stage. No one speaks English either and it's in some super sketchy area. We stay for round 2 and they start smoking cigs out of their vag and my friend is yelling smoking gives you cancer. We got kicked out. Yeah that was a weird night.

9. I'm sure I can think of something more bizarre, but I just though about this... Years ago, I was meeting someone local up (connected on a message board or Craigslist, I forget) to buy some retro Jordans (sneakers). I met him in front of a cafe where I thought it would be an easy cash-for-shoes exchange. When we meet, he tells me he forgot the shoes at home and to follow him - he didn't look threatening and I was young and naive so I did. We drove into the hills nearby to what pretty much was a mansion overlooking the city. In the living room, there were two gorgeous topless girls just...hanging out. Like, on the carpet. The guy says nothing about them and offers me champagne. I'm really weirded out, and also turned on. I decline the champagne out of paranoia and he goes to get the shoes for me. for about 4 solid minutes I try to position myself to look at the topless girls - who are now drinking champagne - without being noticed, using techniques 'like milling around casually' and 'looking for the bathroom'. He eventually comes back with the shoes and includes a BAPE (a Japanese brand) jersey "for my troubles". I thank him, sneak one more look at the topless girls, and leave. I had so many questions for him

10. Pulled into New Orleans and parked in a nondescript area at 3am (Road Trip across America for spring break). Woke up hours later with my Co-pilot gone and a bazaar going on around my car (Datsun 240Z). Literally a guy selling counterfeit tapes off my hood

11. I was in a shopping mall in bangkok and needed to take a leak. I went in to the nearest gents toilet and passed an odd looking, effeminate guy who was exiting as I went in. I had a piss and as I was washing my hands I looked up at my reflection in the mirror. I couldn't help but notice that same guy doing a strange kind of dance in front of the stalls with his cock out and trying to make eye contact with me. Bizarre to me but maybe not so bizarre for Bangkok...
