For some reason I still think about this to this day.
I was working shift late at night in some rough areas, and one time I caught the bus home around about 1am. Upon arriving on the bus there was a woman missing a leg in a wheelchair that was clearly intoxicated sitting in the disability area of the bus. I walk right past her thinking nothing of it, and sit at the back. The bus ride went for about 30 mins or so, this woman didn't put the breaks on her wheelchair. Everytime the bus would come to a halt at a stop, her chair would fling to one side of the bus as she wailed flinging her arms up in the air like she was experiencing a rollercoaster.
I offered assistance and she started rambling at me about how the guy that voiced Elmo was a pedophile, at which point I decided to stop even trying.
When getting off the bus she saw that I had a mobile phone, so asked if she could have it. I said my phone didn't have any credit and she decided to follow me, screaming at me to let her have my phone. I started speeding up my pace as I walked, thinking to myself that she's in a wheelchair and surely I can easily escape her.
I stepped over a traffic island, and looked back. She was on my tail, right behind me. This is the moment I started to panic. I'd never encountered something like this before, I wasn't entirely sure what to do. She was refusing to back down or leave me alone. I start walking over the barriers in carparks, and thinking it should be easy. She's in a wheelchair for god sake. But this woman was on par with Vin Deisel in Fast and Furious. She'd speed around using her very muscular arms, flying through the carpark at top speed. I genuinely started to panic and started to run. She hollers the entire time, screaming at me down the road that she's going to kill me as she manages to keep up to a man with functional legs. I decide to try to lose her by going into gas stations and other buildings with steps. If I ever hear somebody complain about not enough wheel chair access I tell them this story. Without fail, three buildings I entered and she'd manage to get in. Since it's a person in a wheelchair yelling at me, everybody assumed I had done something and started to gang up on me to give her - her phone back. I couldn't explain to them that she didn't give me her phone, she was asking for mine. I ran faster than I've ran in all my life. I panicked thinking to myself "What the hell do I do? Im a man in my thirties thats the size of a brick shithouse running from a disabled person, I can't call the cops they'll just laugh. I can't defend myself, because if anybody sees me doing anything they'll just see a man attacking a person in a wheelchair. That's got to be a hate crime. There's literally nothing I can do"
I kept running, I'd run pass bus shelters and put trolleys in the sidewalk in the hopes it'd slow her down. Every time I did this she'd push as hard as she could with her arms, speeding up then put out her arms in a spear like motion to then push the trolleys aside and get through them effortlessly. She was like the T2 liquid terminator with the fluidity of her arm motions. I'd run across the road, At one point I ran infront of cars in the hope that she'd be forced to stop chasing me so I could get around a corner and lose line of sight. It didn't impede her efforts in the slightest. I was nearly home at this point, and was thinking what can I do. I don't want some insane woman outfront of my house at 2 in the morning screaming for my phone while wheeling up and down the street. It then clicked, there was a park nearby where they were constructing a new playground where there was just pits of sand. Like a speed demon, I sprinted all the way around the block and head towards the park near my house. I ran across the open field and turned, waiting. BAM! She fell for it, stuck in the sand and couldn't get out. Now was my opportunity. I ran like hell all the way home, as I could hear her screaming trapped in a sandpit in the park. I got home safely, turned off all the lights and sat freaking the hell out looking out my blinds expecting to see her roll past at any minute.
I went back in the morning to see if she got out, all I saw was a big pit of where she's been stuck and no other sign of her.
While this experience stuck in my mind forever, I'm nothing to her. I've seen her three times since, and I'm pretty sure she just does things to people and they aren't sure how to respond because of the obvious. I was in a club one day and she got in a fight with the guards to let her in, she just went around assaulting people and nobody did a thing because they encountered the same issue that I had.
Just wondering if I'm the only one that these weird horrible things happens to. Ive told that story to people and they genuinely get confused as to if I'm just making s**t up. I can't be the only one where weird stuff like this seems to occur.
What's something thats odd and obscure that's happened to you all?
