Weird things I've seen lately
Yesterday I was driving up a street where there was a funeral going on, or over, I guess. There was a handful of guys in suits standing around chatting. One guy though was wearing a winter jacket, complete with a fur lined hood, not that the hood was up or anything, and other than that he had on a tie, dress shirt, etc.
Why was it weird? It was 26 C out, wtf?

ah, here's a good place to put some wierdness.
Yesterday I went into a Tim Hortons, got a coffee went back out to my vehicle and was reading an email on my phone, when an older lady walked out, walked up to my passenger side door and tried to open it. It was locked unfortunately. When she was wondering wtf was going on with the locked door and looked inside and saw me sitting there and not her husband or whoever she look horrified. Then I guess she realized she had the wrong vehicle so wandered off a few vehicles down and got in.
I laughed but she really did look horrified.

my father in law has glaucoma, he once got into a stranger's car, put on his seatbelt and was very surprised to hear the driver say "What are you doing in my car?"

I was in Japan and saw an old Japanese dude walking down the street in Osaka wearing a tight spandex Sailor Moon outfit. Nobody batted an eyeleash. Then again, it is Japan, so it's not really that weird.

I once came out of the bathroom in my office to see the receptionist (an older, Grenadian woman) getting one of the new people to shave the back of her neck right at the front reception desk. Clients could literally come off the elevator and this is the first thing they would see. I was completely baffled that this would cross someones mind. Couldn't help but laugh.

A guy starts making a left turn on a green light, it's a 3-way intersection so he doesn't have to wait for any oncoming traffic. Cool. Then as he is straightening out, he immediately comes to stop in the middle of the intersection when confronted with the red light meant for the perpendicular traffic. Waits there until it turns green and continues along.

Jesus F'n Christ - people do this ALL the time turning from westbound Bow Trail onto southbound 26th Ave SW, crossing the C-Train tracks.... what on earth are people thinking when they STOP on the rail tracks, despite the bright green flashing arrow....

Went to a coworkers house to hangout. Turns out he's been brainwashed into a cult, pretty weird crap he had all over his house. His roommates are oblivious to it too so it's extra weird.

Google for the Canada D0uche (replace 0 with o) site to explain the phenomenon.

You don't know how often I have to lean on the horn at that intersection. It's so bad that I automatically have my hand on the horn ready to go if I'm not the first one in line. I think they might need more "do not stop in intersection" signs there or something. I don't know why that one is so baffling to people?!

Definitely the latter. Paintings of eyeballs and geometry everywhere, weird mantras written on the walls, paintings of angel/demon characters. Seems like some kind of new age cult.

Not so much weird, but was surprised to see a personalized Alberta license plate on a truck here with "QTBTCHN" on it. Amazed that got by the censors.
Also, this weird MLS ad for a condo while I was browsing (
http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetail...rtyId=13937133). I can only assume that the upside-down car is to further emphasize how important the secured underground parking is.
