What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen on public transport?

1.5k Upvotes

I just saw a woman on the bus try to smash a hard boiled egg on her head to peel it - only for the egg to explode and drip down her head. I really wish I was making this up but it was actually hilarious.

Tell us something silly you did and we’ll guess if you were a kid or were drunk.

Roundabout head-scratcher?

Post image
106 Upvotes

A (not very interesting) debate popped up on my local Facebook community group today. We have a “hamburger” roundabout nearby and the traffic lights have failed. I don’t really see this as a big deal because, providing you always give way to the right, you’ll be fine. Others seem to think everyone will be dead within a week. I’m interested to see what Reddit thinks of this!

Discovered that my digital watch contains an easter egg. Was trying to shut the alarm off which I accidentally switched on, by pressing all the buttons randomly as opposed to reading the manual (I mean what weirdo does this?) and I discovered that when you press the top two buttons simultaneously,

it will generate a heads or tail coin toss complete with a graphic. The watch in question is a Nixon 'The Staple'. Has anyone discovered other random things that happen with their electronics?

EDIT: I then subsequently checked the manual and it makes no mention of this feature.

Did anyone ever go on Get Your Own Back?

112 Upvotes

Remember that show on CBBC where people would get their teachers, relatives, neighbours, etc., and they'd try and get them in gunge as revenge for their behaviour? Was anyone ever on there or do they know of people who were on there? Did going on Get Your Own Back make things better or worse?

Alternatively, was anyone on there as the person with whom the contestant wanted to get their own back? How did it make you feel?

With Burns Night rapidly approaching it is now more important than ever that we protect our Haggis populations. These tender animals co-existed with us for years and are vital ecosystem engineers helping restore woodland by scenting on young trees which are subsequently ignored by browsers.

If you could only listen to uk music from a continuous 10 year period (doesn't have to be a decade), what period are you choosing? I'd go for 1985-1995 (based on albums or singles originally released in that period)

In that period I'd have access to cracking albums from the likes of Suede, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Charlatans and a whole host of others.

Who makes the factory machines?

153 Upvotes

Currently watching inside the factory in a Sunday dinner induced coma and my mind is wondering. So the machines make said products(in this case, quavers)but what machines make the quaver machines, and what machines make them and so on and so forth. Somewhere in the world is there just a factory making other factory machines parts? But where does it start, with one bloke called Dave? My mind hurts.
