The title explains itself. was there ever a moment where you let out or wanted to let out a big WTF?

No....

I don't just yell letters, although this is right up there with OIC.

Sorry, I was in a hurry and was too lazy to write it out, what I mean is was there any big random moment in your life?

I was walking away from a skateshop on a narrow side road. Ahead of me a woman's toy poodle had extended itself from the elastic recoiling leash in her hand, urinating against the base of a road sign planted at the edge of the sidewalk.

The leash, extending the width of the sidewalk forced me to go around. I skipped; jumping off the sidewalk and into the storm drain just to the left of the poodle; left foot landing, planted at the seem where the black meets the gutter..

SHOOOOOMMMM!

An electric city bus zips by at around 30mph brushing my left arm. I just stood there in shock... another foot to the left and I would have gotten hit by the bus. What freaked me out was that it would have been the lamest dumbest way to die. How does your family explain that you died by jumping in front of a bus in order to walk around a toy poodle taking a piss?

I remember a few years back we had a blizzard that basically shut the town down well stupid me struggled my way to work to find that almost nobody showed up and I was told just to go home. On my way back my visibility sucked so bad I just about nailed a guy walking down the middle of my lane with a guitar case swung over his shoulder talk about a wake up call

In the run up to Halloween I was walking past my local when through the window I caught a glimpse of Darth Vader, sat at a table near the bar, arm wrestling Batman. That was as strange as it was awesome.

In many ways, its bigger then everyone else's.

mine wasnt so much WTF for me but for my mum, but i was there so it kinda counts
she had her window down in the car, and we stopped at some traffic lights, and some guy whizzed past her, the funny bit was there was a huuuuge puddle on the road, so when he drove past he splashed water all over her because her window was open XDD
we both WTF'd at that, but only i laughed ^-^

Was putting together a custom built computer for a friend. He didn't know that much what he was doing so I got dragged into it with promises of Rock Band 2. Anyways, we finish basically hooking everything up and then the little bastard won't turn on. We go for an hour trying to find something we missed, moving parts, switching plugs, all that, and finally give up and read the manual.

Turns out we couldn't directly plug the power button into the mother board. We had to plug it into something else.

This something else was something that plugged directly into the power board. Except it wasn't a converter. It was just the same plug repeated. It was a plug for our plugs. Made out of plastic. It didn't even take up more or less space or have more or less holes for plugs or any of that. It was the exact same part of the motherboard, just encased in some tan plastic.

I have waaayyy too many of those.

Best one would have to be a squirrel jumping out of my mailbox when I opened it.

mine was one new years day, we where in the lovely city of philadelphia and we where waiting in the car for my aunt to get out of her house. two drunk ladies come up and try to get in the car.. then they saw me and started yelling at me to get out of their car.. finally they realized the car wasnt theirs and they got into their own..

the funny thing is our car was a white SUV and their car was a black sedan.

My religion teacher (I went to a Catholic high school for 2 years) was ridiculous. Unreasonable, holier-than-thou, and pretty much hated (or at least disliked) by all. She once gave us an assignment in which we were grouped with people of the same sex. We had to make a collage of people of the same sex that we found attractive.

Doing the rational thing (taking the assignment as a complete joke), my group and I made a collage with pictures of Saddam Hussein, Michael Jackson, the Hulk, George Bush, and some stereotypical Middle-Eastern terrorist.

Another WTF moment happened when I was playing Smash Bros on the N64. The screen turned black all of a sudden. I looked down at my N64 and saw my rabbit standing on the reset button.

So, I was in my house, chilling, when my friend txts me to go outside and dance.
Then, he started txting me things about my surroundings, like the color of pants im wearing, and my lawn's been cut, and such.
So i start freaking out and I ask him where he is.

So i look out in my left window...
The @#%*^& is Sitting at my window! He waved and smiled.
Me?

I walked outside and kicked him in the shins.
He walked to my house...

Reminds me of a bizarre event I saw after school one day...there was a bus stupidly parked right next to the sidewalk and a crosswalk, so that there was no way at all for the many people crossing the street to see oncoming cars, or vice versa. Several people almost got hit just in the few minutes I was watching, but people just kept streaming on across.

At one point, some guy started to walk across with a CD player hanging off his belt (this was in prehistoric days, before everyone had iPods) and a car shot up and stopped dead millimeters from his leg. I know this distance because the car hit his CD player, and it exploded. Not into all that many pieces, but a battery landed near where I was standing, which was at least 20-30 feet away. But the guy carrying it was unhurt; untouched, in fact. Good thing the driver hadn't waited another millisecond to slam on the brakes; he would have had a broken leg, or worse.

Also, a while ago I walked in front of a parked car; the driver wasn't paying attention, and started moving it forward. The odd thing was, I only reacted by lightly slapping the hood of his car, and he stopped. I have no idea why I wasn't more alarmed at almost getting run over.

And, two non-car-related ones that happened in the same day:
1. In a physics lab class, a thick foam ceiling tile just dropped off for no reason, and smashed on the floor in the middle of the room, a few feet from where I was sitting. Luckily no one was under it, but...what the hell? And this was a newly renovated building!
2. Some people wandered past my dorm that night, yelling "Abracadabra" and "Expelliarmus" in silly voices. No comment.

Being a resident of South Florida, I'm no stranger to hurricanes. During Hurricane Francis, I somehow ended up by myself. I was sitting in the dark living room with mind-bending whistling noises coming from all of the doors that led outside when I heard something huge hit the ceiling and then a huge thud that came from a few yards away from the house. While the eye was overhead, I went out onto the patio and saw that a tree had been uprooted. The tree bounced off of my roof and smashed into my neighbor's patio, totally wrecking it and bending all the metal that holds it together. I was so happy the tree bounced off of my house and didn't just go straight through the house. Then I really would've been like WTF.

E.T. the video game.

Some random guy started yelling at me... WTF?

In my school some of us go chip shop "home" for lunch so one day im going to a friends for lunch and as I was about to cross the road there was a van parked in the way but from what I could see there was no cars coming I walk out and there's a screeching and a car comes flying out of no were it slowed down just enough to the point it bumped my leg the second it bumped my leg I shat my self and sprinted across the rest of the road (not the smartest idea) I get to the other side of the road and the driver is screaming at my from his car window in a deep African accent " WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU WOULD BE DEAD AND I WOULD BE ALIVE"
I say im sorry knowing it was my fault and the guy begins to drive away then some asshole says shut up witch of course the guy hears and thinks is me he gets out is car and sprints towards me (this guy was big rugby player big) and begins screaming I will kill you at this point im half frozen with fear half trying not to laugh he eventually gets in his car and drives and we rush into CKs house him and some one else laughing there ass off and me thinking how the same guy just nearly killed me twice.

Way back in the age of fifth grade, I decided once to not buy lunch. I simply wasn't hungry, which is exactly what I told the oddly inquisitive lunch lady that sauntered over to my table. Anywho, the conversation went like this

Lunch Lady: Why aren't you eating? You need to eat.

Me: Not necessarily, I just don't feel like eating right now.

Lunch Lady: But you're hungry.

Me: ... No, I'm not.

Lunch Lady: Yes you are.

Me: *blinks confusedly, walks away*

I think watching 2001: A Space Odyssey at the ripe young age of 10 would qualify.

Here's a funny one...

I get home after a hard days work, sit down on the couch and prepare to watch TV as usual WHEN...

My girlfriend (who I was living with) informs me that she's bought a new bra (She's a G-cup BTW, so her bras are rather expensive); then asks if I would like to see it.

I say "yeah sure" not thinking at all AND OUT SHE COMES... In just the bra! (O)(O)

"do you like it?" she asks.

"Uuuuuuuuuuh" was my only response.

Biggest WTF in a good way: When I first watched FLCL.

Biggest WTF in a bad way: When I watched the last two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

In middle school once, me and a few friends were working on a group project, so we were all at one table, leaving another table totally unoccupied. With no outside interaction, and no force acting upon it whatsoever besides gravity, the empty wooden table exploded. Just broke into pieces, some of which got lauched halfway across the room.

We referred to the phenomenon as "Spontaneous Table Explosion".

a friend and i made a flame thrower out of his toilet in his 8 sq ft bathroom while we were still in the room

axe+toilet+fire= the most awesome and worst idea you will ever have

My best is when i met myself. I looked dashing by the way. There's a good story to this. I used to go to the local YMCA after school because my Mom worked and she didn't want me home alone. I made friends at the shit hole YMCA. One day, one of my friends came up to me and started talking about some random stuff and kept on calling me Fred. My name is not Fred. I eventually stopped him and he realized I was not Fred. He looked around and found Fred standing at the other side of the court. We met and we looked exactly the same down to the clothes. We even mimed each other for a couple of minutes. It was surreal.

One day when I was really bored and had absolutely nothing to do, I decided to some vacuuming. And why not? The lounge needed a clean-up and there was nothing better to waste time on. So I unpacked the ol' hoover, and was just about to start it up when a friend knocked on the door. I answered it, she came in, saw that I was vacuuming, and asked if she could help. "Gee wiz!" I replied, "That'd be mighty swell of ya! Just don't do anything crazy now, y'hear?" I then gallavanted off to take a shower because I was quite smelly.

A few minutes later after having taken the shower I heard high-pitched mechanical whirs and sputters. I ran into the lounge (smelling fabulous, FYI) to see the vacuum cleaner's transparent compartment completely engulfed in a whirlwind of fire. She quickly explained she wanted to suck up fire after she found a lighter on my table (I don't own a lighter, but whatever) and wanted to see what would happen if it went into the vacuum cleaner.

After putting it out by sucking up water with the power off, I kicked her out of my house and made her buy me a new vacuum cleaner. I don't understand why anyone would do that, although it did look quite awesome.

Wow, is meeting yourself common or something?

A friend of mine once, while doing Cage Match in Cod4 for challenges, in response to my query of "why the hell would you do something so not fun in a game?", said "Games aren't for having fun." I had to remind myself to breathe.

Mine was turning over my Zune (4GB) and reading the following:

Back of Zune:
Hello from Seattle SN:023 696 274 315
Input 5V::::1.4A IC: 3048A-1125 Model 1124
FCC ID: C3K-1125 Assembled in China

I read that, thought something was odd (I was very tired). Then said "What the frack? It says 'Hello from Seattle' right here."

And yes, I did say frack. It's like swearing but people usually think you're just making words up, in other words the perfect explitive.
