What’s the most inexplicable/surreal thing you’ve ever done

[(Anonymous)]

... that actually had a rational explanation?

Inspired by my remembering the time my newly adopted second dog (who’d been returned to the pound three times by different owners before she was a year old for being a nut) got out of the house the morning after we brought her home, and took off down the street. I gave chase barefoot in my pjs and followed her, screaming her name, almost to the beach 1/2 mile away. Eventually I gave up and staggered home, crying. An elderly lady offered me a ride and I actually got in her car for a block before asking to be let out because I thought she might drop me at the police station.

I was maybe 16 and looked super young for my age, with unbrushed hair and bloody feet. I was on my period and crampy and had just lost my new dog.

And I’d run 10 blocks screaming the name she’d left the pound with, which was Choo-choo.

(The dog, who was promptly rechristened, beat me back to the house and lived 16 years being her crazy self.)

LOL! That is a great story. Especially screaming "Choo-choo" as you ran down the street. LOL!

AYRT— I wonder how many of my neighbors thought I’d snapped and hallucinated that I was a train.

I'm glad the story has a happy ending.

This not really surreal but I accidentally threw my keys in the dumpster. (I was throwing away a bag and they got hooked on the bag.) The dumpster was almost empty and they were at the bottom. I had to call the manager to get back in my apartment, and then I had to take my brand new Swiffer mop and try to fish the keys out. Which by some miracle worked, so my story has a happy ending too, but I felt pretty stupid, and I have no idea how it looked to people that I was standing out by the dumpster poking around in it with a mop.

AYRT—heh. At least you weren’t yelling “back, fiend!” or something while brandishing the mop.

Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but running after a stranger who'd left his wallet on the bus, after I'd just had a tooth pulled and was still bleeding from my droopy numbed-up mouth. I was trying to shout that he'd forgotten something but it just sounded like "HYOOU HOOORGOT HIIIIS." He looked terrified for a second before catching on.

AYRT—that was nice of you to make sure he got his wallet back; I’m sure the moment of terror at the approaching bloodstained apparition was worth it. After I got my wisdom teeth out all at once, my mom drove me home and we were stopped at a traffic light. The person in the next car over did a horrified double take when they saw me drooling blood everywhere.
