Weirdest thing you have done

I chased a boy during my college days i was suffering from erotomania
the boy got fed up of me chasing him and he just blasted me publicly with abusive words

One time when I was 9, I was invited to the birthday party of a 6 year old with my sister. There were a bunch of 6 year olds and 8-9 year olds and I found a Tampax tampon that was still in its wrapper. I didn't know what it was, so I was chasing all these little girls around McDonald's, asking them if they wanted a Tampax. Needless to say, I wasn't invited to her birthday party, after that. I didn't behave myself and I was too old, anyways.

I was born.

I correctly predicted the outcomes of several corporate decisions that nearly ruined the company I was working for at the time. Instead of praising me for my foresight, they blamed me for their failures. When I left that company, I predicted that the company would fail completely within a year. It failed in six months.

DSM-V defines "Erotomania" as having the delusion that another person, usually of higher status, is in love with you. This condition often occurs during psychosis, especially in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar mania. During an erotomanic episode, the patient believes that a "secret admirer" is declaring his or her affection to the patient, often by special glances, signals, telepathy, or messages through the media. Usually the patient then returns the perceived affection by means of letters, phone calls, gifts, and visits to the unwitting recipient. Even though these advances are unexpected and unwanted, any denial of affection by the object of this delusional love is dismissed by the patient as a ploy to conceal the forbidden love from the rest of the world.

The condition has nothing to do with sex.

Weirdest thing you've done in public or private?

The weirdest thing I've done in private falls into the TMI (too much information) category

In public... I don't know, there were so many weird things. Just recently, I had an embarrassingly weird chat. I hit the salad bar at a supermarket, and I know from experience that the lids of the plastic bowls for the salad won't stay on right if you transport them in a shopping bag. Especially not during a bumpy bike ride. I had meant to buy some scotch tape to secure the lids, but forgot about it while I was in the shop. I didn't want to go back in there with my bags lest they'd think I had stolen something, so I went to the nearby post office instead, which also carries adhesive tape.

When I got to the counter, the clerk made a cheerful comment like "Scotch tape! Great choice. Always good to have." I was startled and didn't know what to do. He had not told me how much I owed him, so I wasn't able to complete the transaction as planned. I could have just given him a 10 Euro bill, but he seemed to wait for me to say something in return. On a bad day, this would have sent me into a panic attack, but I was feeling pretty good for a change and thought I'd give this small talk thing a try that everyone is raving about. I tried to come up with something witty or at least halfway sensible to say, but what do you reply to a comment like that? After a painfully long pause, I eventually blurted out "um, yes, I need it for a salad".

He looked at me like people usually do when I open my mouth, i.e. with an expression that seemed to say "oh sh*t, I'm dealing with a crazy person". I should have just shut up and thrown some money onto the counter, but I felt the need to explain myself and rambled something like "erm, I mean, I just bought it. Over there. They have these... erm... these little bowls. The last time I bought one it made a total mess. I mean, in my bag. That's why I need the tape". I stuttered on like that for a while and just couldn't snap out of it, until he interrupted me with "oh I'm sure it will all work out just fine, don't you worry about a thing, that will be 2.79 then, good luck with your salad". I don't think I will try myself at social chit chat again anytime soon
