Today I went up to Manchester for work. I was listening to my Ipod on the Metro platform and noticed that a woman in her 40’s was attempting to speak to me. I took my earphones out and she said “You’ve got beautiful long eyelashes, I had to tell you that”. I was pretty shocked at the total randomness, then she said “Sorry If I’ve embarrassed you” then she walked on to the Metro that had just pulled into the station.

It got me thinking that totally random stuff must happen like this everyday, so what’s your totally random story?

Was she fit ?

A colleague told me today that I reminded him of a character he was watching in a repeat of 'This Life' last night..............sassy and has a mind as sharp as a razor. Nice compliment though.

A gaunt elderly woman showed me the inside of her filthy bag once.

Was she fit ?
She was alright for a woman at least 20 years older than me. It wasn't an attempt to pull me anyway, was a quick comment and then she was off on the Metro.

So now you're the Phantom Eyelash Flutterer of Angel Street?........:hihi:

Sounds like Anna.... that's a great compliment :thumbsup:

She was always my favourite character in the programme :) Very Scottish ;)

You are spot on as it was Anna. Another colleague described me, one time, as being like QE1; Loyal, emotionless and likely to slice the head off the first worthless bint to threaten her reign...............Very English.

But the essence of Anna was that she was a very warm, emotional and passionate person - so maybe you're not really like her at all, Cloudybay ;)

I have my finger over the Report button for that, StarSparkle...it's offensive to imply that of cloudybay!

You are extremely perceptive StarSparkle. Perhaps you would care to give your judgement on me? Please consider that judgement should be based on one thing only................facts. And that all judgement is subjective.

This wasn't exactly a direct conversation, but it was soooo funny and random. It really made my day. :)

It was in Hong Kong, in the tube's walk way, and it was the end of an office day. People were rushing and walking by quickly. Looking really morbid and expressionless.

I was walking beside my brother, when I started hearing someone sing "Can't buy me loooooove. Looooove. Can't buy me looooove." :hihi:

In the opposite direction was a caucasian lady who seemed like an office worker, and she must've had enough of her day or something. I found it hilarious, cos no-one took notice. I really wanted to give her an actual "high five", but I didn't dare. :P

I don't blame her for wanting to liven up the place. Cos people are just so reserved and cynical.

I seem to have had many random conversations with people I shall never see again and often wonder what the outcome of the conversation was.

One girl tapped me on the shoulder on Chapel Walk and said she was going to kill herself.
Lots of people met while travelling they come and go and leave a question mark

It's a sort of ships that pass in the night,

In the ladies loos at the Lescar one busy Last Laugh night, I pushed open a cubicle door but there was someone in there. Oops! She came out and in a broad loud Irish voice said "I'm sorry my darling, I never lock the toilet door because I'm dying of cancer! And you're beautiful!"

A man once asked me if I was Irish. "No, why?" "Because you've got a lovely mouth." Thing was, he wasn't chatting me up, he just stated it as an observation and was on his way. :confused:

Bit of an Irish theme going. I don't want to imply Irishness is inherently random, or anything. (It also gives the impression I stroll through life garnering compliments left right and centre. I wish!) :hihi:

My mates mum recons I look like Garth Crookes - TV Football Pundit.

that would be fine apart from one small matter....... I'M WHITE :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Has anyone seen the old hagged lady gets on the tram and tries to give the driver oranges, then moans to people about why he wont take them, gets angry then gets off at white lane?

I slightly more Odd occurance happened to me about 4 years back.

I was in the Leadmill with my mates. They were all dancing the night away in the POP room, but I fancied listening to some alternative music, so went through to the other room.

I was stood in there on mi tod, minding my own business listening to some music... then this women (probably early 30's) came across and started talking. After a while she said "Fancy a dance?". I'm thinking "I'm in here". She'd have been 10 years older than me or more at the time, but she was a looker so I'm thinking "Way hay".

Anyway, after a while I notice this guy stood next to us, just looking at us. Next thing, this women turns to me and says "This is my husband" and proceeded to introduce me to her husband!!!!!!!

At this point I'm thinking one of 2 things:

A) He's going to kick the **** out of me..... but he actually made conversation so i decided that wasn't the case

or

B) I was being groomed for some 3 way deprived sex game (which had it been 2 women I'd have been well up for).

anyway....... I pretty much **** my pants and legged it!! :hihi:

Blade1983 - that isn't random, that's normal if you're not listening to trendy tripe ;)

I have to confess I'm mainly the perpetrator of randomness - I think it may be the Irish connection that Liverpool has that makes us all talk to strangers like they're next door neighbours :hihi:

She got off at Gleadless one day and was walking up and down past everyone offering them oranges!:loopy:

I once got a really strange phone call late one night on my mobile from someone asking for Sophie (my name) called Vicky, which is my sister's name.

I thought her voice sounded a bit odd but reception wasn't great and it sounded like she was in a pub so obviously I assumed it was my sister ringing me but it turned out to be some random Vicky who had misdialled the number of someone she knew called Sophie. Strange.

Random thing that happened to me on Monday...

I got off the tube at Warren Street (I live in London) and started to make my way up to the exit. For those not familiar with the Underground, they give out announcements fairly continuously over a tannoy system about things like keeping your luggage with you and remembering to swipe in and swipe out with your oyster.

So anyway, this Underground workers voice came over the tannoy and made all the usual announcements... before breaking into a rendition of the Crazy Frog song! Now I hate that song but it still made me laugh.
