What's the most surreal thing someone in the street has said to you?

What have strangers said to you, seemingly out of nowhere with no conversation opener?

Classics over the years have been,

"If you had a real gun, who would you shoot?"

"Excuse me, but do you do stage magic?"

"Mate, Neo wants his coat back"

And the more recent but equally bizarre:

"Stay on the Left Hand Path".

Oh, and "Oi! ****!"

Anyone else?
 
It wasn't in the street but when i used to work in retail i was talking to this bloke about AV software and the conversation naturally came to an end and just as i was about to walk off he asked me if i wanted to say a prayer with him!?! :eek: I was a bit like, WTF?! I'm trying to work here dude. I politely declined his offer and walked off to hide in our warehouse...

I told one of my colleagues about it and then we told another colleague who was unaware about said weird guy that said weird guy needed help and the weird bloke tried it with him as well! Haha!:D
 
"Oh, are you going to Chester!?"

From some drunk (meaning absolutely hammered) guy who then told me how he had just bean released from prison and that I shouldn't 'mess' with him.

Pointed him in the direction of a train going in completely the wrong direction. I hope he got on.
 
I once had a guy ask me the time in South Beach, Miami. When he noticed my accent he asked where I was from, and when I told him I was British he asked whether I knew this guy from Leeds. :confused: He seemed surprised when I told him that the UK's not that small a place, there's 60 million or so of us and we don't all know each other. :p

I love it when things like this happen. It is bizarre how some people think.

"Oh you're from France? Do you know Pierre?"
