I'm sure there's probably a 5 year old thread on this somewhere but we might as well start a new one. I don't have anything great to start off but I did nearly run into a skunk on an early morning when my headlamp batteries were running low. What kind of BIZZARE things have you seen while running, training, racing?
The STRANGEST thing you've seen on a run?

I saw a guy taking a dump by a tree......oh wait, that was me.

Children playing outside without adult supervision

Ran around a bend in a stream and came upon a mountain lion.
Was having a crap attack a different time and ducked down on the opposite side of the RR tracks from the road I was running on to take a crap. When pants were around ankles, along comes Mr. Amtrack train, slowing down to pull into station.
I was stretching after finishing a run in a park in downtown Modesto, waiting for some friends who were going a bit longer. Homeless dude was chasing his homeless old lady into the restroom. I had to put a stop to that sh!t. -
I also saw a guy jacking off in front of some housewives at the bus stop. Oh yeah, that was me too.

I saw a rabbit head fall from a tree about 15 feet in front of me. Landed right by my foot. Couldn't see a bird in the tree. But there was probably a bird in the tree.

In college was running on a trail in the woods with a teammate and we passed a 30 year old guy just standing there, buck naked and fully erect.

I saw a random deer leg on a trail I was running on.

This guy was running shirtless and wearing yellow spandex shorts. Either he stuffed a cucumber down the front of those things or I know where Saddam hid his WMDs. Either way, I wanted to salute the guy.

All on the same run:
* Jewish guy throwing coins into a fountain
* White kid beats black kid in a sprint
* Black kid spits out grape soda, claims he doesn't like the taste
* Cyclist obeys traffic laws
* Fast female distance runner with b00bs -
A rattlesnake, about 2' long and young (thin), dropped from the sky 30 feet in front of me on a trail. No trees anywhere it could have fall out of. It was dead and appeared to be a barely stated lunch of a hawk, or similar, I had surprised.

Also me. I don't like to hunch over. -
Used to run at 5am before work....
It was dark and this meteor came directly overhead and seemed LOW..
Made a booming sound...
Really startling. -
A pair of ladies underwear stuck in a tree branch.
-
Came around a bend and seen a rabbit and squirrel nose to nose. Both animals saw me and ran in opposite directions.
-
Was running on the road beside tall grass that was growing in the ditch and a full grown groundhog sticks its head out right in front of me. Didn't move an inch as I passed within a foot of it. Thought about kicking it to see if it would move, but wanted to stay uninjured during base training that summer.

Lol, some kids on my HS team found some as well. The place was thereafter referred to as "Victoria's Secret" -
1 dead guy
$124 cash
1 guy laid out on the trail with a broken hip
1 mountain lion
Too many rattle snakes to count
A coyote running full speed at me to just brush against me & keep running.
Too random dogs following me for 8 miles.
Random cow in the middle of nowhere on a single track trail, dehydrated or sick.
Lots of naked women. Often taking topless photos in nature.
The missing piece is a couple getting it on. Though I've come up on unsuspecting people shocked to see me never saw the boots a knockin.
Probably more but that's all I can remember right now.
