So, I was in Morrisons at 8am this morning buying a box of gingerbread men to take to work. This box was see-through and clearly said "gingerbread men".
Im now queing up to pay at the check-out when the man standing in front of me turns around, looks at the box and says to me:
"oo are those jelly babies?"
Me: "no..they are gingerbread men.."
Man: "oh. oh! thats what I was thinking of"
Me: "ok.."
Then he promptly turned around as if the conversation never happened :confused:
:lol:
Anyone else had funny / odd / weird conversations with a passing stranger?

Old lady turned round to me in the bank one day and said "youve such a pretty face, itd look better without that bit of metal stuck in it" (had my lip/chin pierced)
Few times ive had "Are they real? " (meaning my paw print tattoos)
"Do you draw your tattoos on each morning?"
Sure I do!
walking to the pub with my mate, met an old bearded irish guy who engaged us in conversation:
"tell be boys, have you ever thought about... vertical lift? *extends arms* whoosh! straight up there! and i havent even put my sunglasses on yet!"
"im the most rock n roll piece of sh!t on this planet... and i havent even put my sunglasses on yet!!"

A bloke in a queue once opened up with "The spoons are hot today."
Assuming he was a spy trying to make contact I replied "The moon is high over Moscow."
And he looked at me like I was the loony!

My sister just told me of a funny one that happened to her. she works in a pharmacy and was standing at the till/desk minding her own business when a man came in:
Man: "Do you know what Ive got in my bag?" (points to a tesco's bag)
My sister: "No"
Man: "Ive got the cure for swine flu"
My sister: "oh right"
Man: "Do you want it?"
My sister: "no, its ok"
Man: "are you sure? you can see it if you want"
My sister: "no its fine, i dont need it"
(He was now getting really agitated and the lead pharmacist came out to see what the hell was going on)
Man: "Hmph, fine. well, you are all going to die! its your loss"
Then he stomped out the shop! :lol: :lol:

I used to get that a lot at college. The look on their face when you say "No I'm in the car.. just in case I go through the windscreen and roll down the road" is brilliant. They look at you like you're from mars :)

I don't walk around in leathers during the day. Then again, you always get the sarcastic wolf whistles when you're walking to the changing rooms :rolleyes: lol, bless 'em
On days when I only have class for a few hours, I walk into college all power rangered up :p That seems to get alot of attention(all attention is good ain't it haha) for wearing full leathers, boots.
Still haven't plucked up the courage to walk in with lid + black visor and gloves on..
Last day :)
2 weeks left, thank **** for that!

When I worked at Tesco (dark days, dark days) I used to wear all the check shirt n wear a name badge and hold a clipboard to make myslef look important.
Used to get people coming up to me and ask:
Them 'Do you work here?'
Me 'No, I am just a fan, I stole one of the uniforms and I hang out here in my spare time.'
Them 'Oh okay...sorry'

I am sure everyone got a few but the best one I heard happened to a family friend. He went to Switzerland for a conference and while going up to his in the elevator he sparks a conversation with a couple of older american tourist. Midway through it the nice old lady says "You speak very good english", to which he replies "Yes, I'm Scottish". The lady pauses, thinks for a bit looks up to him & says "You speak very good english."

Long ago I was on holiday abroad on the bike, an old (well about my age now I guess) guy came up and started the usual "I used to ride a bike......." stuff.
Asked where I lived, and at the time it was Bristol. "Oh that's a coincidence, I live in Gloucester,.............well Cheltenham actually."
I was out on an old Triumph, another old guy comes up and starts the same routine, "Oh that's nice, I used to have one of those, .............except it was a Sunbeam".
Trying some unusual menu, a friend says "That's horrible, you taste it."

my mum told me she used to own a BSA and ride out of the Ace regularly when she was young. it really made my jaw drop! (she never even mentioned bikes before i got mine)
Pulling up on bike at Supermarket some lads just started yelling "Zovirax! Zovirax! Have you got a cold sore?"
Brilliant. I remember that advert
I keep getting scantily clad women asking me if I'm looking for business.

You do realise he just said "It sure is hot today" but you misheard him ;)

Will sound like a child now i know... in school we had a supply teacher who was really nice.. or seemed so, but when we talked a lil' bit she got a bit annoyed, and after a couple of warnings, she eventually turned around... and whilst stomping to our table, screamed "ARE WE SAFE!?!?!??!?!"
Try keeping a straight face when someone shouts something like that in your face.
Typical one, in Canada, a woman asked me if i was Australian.
And also in Canada, i was at a mates house, and his mom just randomly said to me (not met me before), "Hi..." "hiya"... just as i was leaving... "say something else!!" (hoping i'd sound like prince Charles) I just said. "i like your dog". She looked disappointed :(

On our recent trip to Barcelona me and Rob were sat on some steps on the high street drinking some Pepse from KFC which they had put in brown paper bags.
Oldish looking man walks up to Rob
Stranger: Vino?
Rob: Yes
Stranger: Vino
Rob: No, Pepsi
Stranger: Looking puzzled... ... ... Vino?
Rob: No, Pepsi.
Stranger: Vino?
Rob: He only says one word.
I was just in stitches by this time
Stranger: Vino?
Rob: No! It's Pepsi, not vino.
Stranger: ... Vino?
Rob (taking the Pepsi out and showing him): No.
He then asked if he could have a drink in Spanish. Got bored and walked off.
