Wierdest Thing Seen Commuting?
I've been driving trucks for 25 years and some of the stories I could tell, but I am sure some of you wouldn't be amused. One of the last ones that come to mind was 3 college age girls in a Oldsmobile Cutlas. It was early morning, about 6AM going north on I-39 south of Rockford, Ill. The 2 passengers were naked and the driver did not have anything on from the waist down. They pull alongside of various trucks and would pace them for awhile and then proceed on. The passenger in the back seat even went so far as to get up on the package self and lay up there pressed against the window.
Anyway once we crossed into Wis there was that car with 3 State Patrol cars surrounding it. Never did hear why they were pulled over but I bet it was quite a seen

I just like reading what some of the wierdest things people have seen while driving to work, haven't really posted much on here since i just got my new pickup - but, to add to the conversation, I'm 20 and I've been doing valet for about 2 years now, and let me tell you, when you get paid to drive people's cars, you get to see some wierd stuff - by far some of the most wierd things i have encountered are:
A) A viagra sales...woman. thats kind of funny.
B) I once saw a scooter stuck to a very "thinly challenged" woman....i don't know, not so much wierd but hilarious.... and the best part was her trying to stop it.
C) Has anyone driven a car of a cross dresser....don't, trust me...
well, thats my input for right now but guarenteed, i'll post some more.

i was on my way to work one morning, and i saw a guy walking down the street naked. i mean absolutely naked, not even shoes. the funny thing is, he was walking with his arms crossed, not trying tcover anything. and oh yeah, it was about 40 degrees that morning.

While living in Seattle I was driving down the viaduct on my way to work. I saw 2 rich broads gabbing on cell phones. One was driving a Z06 and the other a BMW M5. I watched them change lanes right into each other.

I was headed home from a college class one night over in Scotland (yes the country), and had the hwy all to myself.
A little ways along I notice this red light way up in the night sky moving along slowly. In its self probably not worth mentioning, except this light was pulsing on and off very slowly as it moved along. It would swell really big, and then fade to a pinpoint and back to a big red ball again.
I ended up on the side of the road standing by my car watching this thing as it moved along. After a couple of minutes it suddenly turned into a little twinkle light, exactly duplicating the look of an aircraft flashing light and moved away into the distance.
I went on home, but some time later I was down in Aberdeen (Scotland again), and came across an article in UFO Magazine, which described the events, I had witnessed. There were many more people who had seen the thing, and it had even swooped down over the motorway before being chased off by jets.
Not the first or last weird thing I have seen while driving.

4) On I-90, what seemed like a lone driver in a pickup actually had a passenger in there with her head down, well, let's just say that maybe she was inspecting the uphostery on the drivers seat. Then again, probably not.
Just when I think I've about seen it all, someone has to come along and prove me wrong.

How about these. Anyone ever see a Volkswagon with clearance lights, guide poles with lights on the tips on the front bumper, functional semi truck air horn and dual CB antennas? Just come to Winston-Salem, North Carolina and you just might. Then there are other times when I saw the naked man walking down the road...... A camper appeared to be self powered from behind being pulled by an honda civic (moving very slow and fishtailing). The top of the list for me is this: A 1976 F350 one ton dually pulling a 14' by 60' mobile home down the highway in Oklahoma.

Have you ever seen a beetle on is back struggling to get to it feet again?
Well about 6 years ago, I took a trip to Hawii, rented a car to drive around, come to a stop at a light, just before the light turned green, here on my right, I see this VW bug on its roof, doing 360's through the intersection.
No-one was injured, but i never did find out how it happened.

The City Works truck that drove up the support wire for Street Lights & Trolley Wires while the driver was checking out the pedestrians in halter tops. True Story!
