Sometimes, life throws us moments so strange or unsettling that they feel like they belong in a surreal film. These are the kinds of stories that leave us questioning reality and wondering how such things could actually happen. From bizarre public encounters to deeply personal revelations, here are some true tales that are as shocking as they are unforgettable.
One person shared how their older sister used Disney read-along tapes to teach them to read. Years later, they realized the tapes were also used to drown out the sound of their parents’ nightly arguments. Another recounted seeing a woman in a restroom urinate through a tube into the sink, then walk out without washing her hands.
At Disney World, someone witnessed a man licking his phone screen as if cleaning it, while another person on a bus saw a mother suck snot from her child’s nose—and swallow it. These moments are so odd they’re hard to believe, yet they happened in real life.
Other stories include a man shaving his armpits at a soda dispenser, a woman combing her chin hairs with a fork on a bus, and a couple walking down the street with one wearing a bizarre, grinning mask. These experiences are so surreal they could easily fit into a David Lynch movie.
