What is the weirdest thing you’ve seen in Dallas?

As per question, I’m talking about things that my European immigrant mindset would never understand and my friends back home would never believe.

Once got stuck on 75N while police on foot chased a naked man running down the middle of the freeway in the 100° weather. All I could think about was how his feet must be burning. The police did not look too thrilled trying to catch him.
UnhappyWorldliness15@reddit
I had such weird stuff happen in Europe, I don’t have any idea what in Dallas would be crazy to you. I think the craziest thing to me are the rich people and stuff they do/buy. One got tired of a Picasso so they donated it to a school I used to work at.
But out side of Dallas look up the “rattle snake roundup”

There is a bike lane right in front of my place that leads into a dumpster and a trapezoidal concrete divider.
People like to drive in the bike lane at high speeds and I've seen probably 8 or 9 motor vehicle accidents involving that trapezoid. (Cars, trucks, motorcycles, scooters all included)
The best was a delivery guy who somehow got his car up on it, with no wheels touching the ground and seemingly no damage to his vehicle.
He gave me and the other residents the tamales he'd been contracted to deliver while we waited for a tow truck.
I've called the City at least three times about this divider and they always mark that they've done something about it.
They never do.

I was out walking my dog at 10:00pm and some guy in a high speed chase comes blasting by in the church parking lot I'm walking through. I grab my dog and run onto the sidewalk to avoid getting run over by him and the two cop cars in chase. Then a police helicopter blows by at super low altitude, barely higher than the 2-story church. Then he does some more loops between parking lots and roads, drives on a dirt track at the nearby park, and the cops bust him.

I once walked into a gas station on my way home from work because I had to pee really bad -around 35 and maybe Inwood or some exit near that.
I walked into the bathroom, and a homeless guy was on the ground LICKING THE PISS OFF THE GROUND. He then made eye contact with me and smiled while he continued to lick the pee.
GeneticPermutation@reddit
Okay, not really “seen”, but I had a very odd, very deep Dallas lore encounter that I still think about.
Circa 2006 I had a part-time job in downtown Dallas as a twenty year old, and would take the bus every now and then. One day I was heading home and heard some vaguely familiar music blasting through someone’s headphones, some ‘70s rock, which was weird enough as it is. My curiosity got the better of me and I turned around to look and made dead ass eye contact with a dude in his sixties, white hair and white beard, with a giant Big Gulp cup I’m certain was filled with booze. He takes his headphones off and says in a George Carlin-esque voice, “It’s Mott The Hoople, man!” (“All The Young Dudes”, great song by the way). He gets up, moves to the seat right behind me, and forces his life story on me.
His name was Larry. Went to St Mark’s High School (affluent private school in North Dallas), says he was friends with Boz Scaggs. Testing him, I asked if he knew Steve Miller. He says he was a year above him and didn’t know him but knew of him (I’d check this later on and it tracks), says he dated one of the Sewell daughters (luxury car dealer huge in Dallas), and a few other things I forget now.
Then he drops the bombshell and claims he’s the original founder of Chili’s, and I test him again. My grandfather loved Chili’s and we’d always go to the original location at Walnut Hill and Greenville, so I say, “Oh yeah, the one at Greenville and Royal.” He says, “No, man, it’s Walnut Hill and Greenville!” Passed that one too. Guy had me legitimately thinking I was talking to the founder of Chili’s, who appeared to have fallen on hard times.
I got home and tried to look him up. Chili’s was indeed founded by a guy named Larry, Boz Scaggs did indeed go to St Mark’s. A lot of his story checked out. Took me a long time but I finally found a picture of Larry Lavine, and… it was not the guy from the bus. Not even close.
So who was this guy? Why is he pretending to be the Chili’s founder? Why was he trying to impress some twenty year old kid while drunk on a bus at 3:00pm on a Tuesday? I still think about it. At least he had his story straight…
KnotDedYeti@reddit
Larry Lavine! He’s an old friend of our family. In the early 2000’s he opened a couple of restaurants. One was down in uptown, an old single story building with a patio out front. It was upscale but not fancy, the food was delicious. I can’t remember the name but we went all the time. Didn’t last that long though. The parking was shit, I think the main reason it closed.
Drinking a big gulp of booze would be out of character. Going to a restaurant with like 4 people and ordering everything on the menu would be normal Larry behavior though. He loves food, he’s a real old school restaurateur.
Fun fact: Larry’s first wife was Carroll Shelby’s daughter.
GeneticPermutation@reddit
Pretty sure the picture of the real Larry I found back then was from a new restaurant’s opening, and fake Larry was definitely not in the condition to be launching new restaurants…

StarrCat3608@reddit
There was this “homeless” guy who used to hang outside of my old job (I use homeless loosely cause he had a brand new SUV, and he’d pretend to walk with a limp) who told me that he had written the screenplay for “Eyes Wide Shut”, and that Stanley Kubrick either stole his credit, or threatened to take it (this was in 2015, so I don’t fully remember what he said, but there was some type of drama between them).
His story was very believable, so I looked it up online. There was a guy credited with his name, and his birthplace was Dallas. When I went to google pictures of him, it was a completely different guy.
Why people lie about these things, I genuinely have no idea. I guess they have nothing better to do, but your story reminded me of this dude.

Back in 2003 and 2004, Carrollton had the Taco Bell on Marshall Lane and Trinity Mills. Was this house that had a statue you could see from the back of the house from the parking lot. We could see it’s back. It was red. And about 8 feet tal. It was wearing a cape, and he seemed to have horns. It was illuminated to be displayed prominently if one were climbing up the stairs from the first to the second floor. We could see it from outside window.
That shit was weird. I still don’t know what that was. My friends and I went there several times. We just drove there to take a look.

My business colleague lives on Swiss and encouraged me to buy a house there. A day later, he found a dead Jamaican guy in his backyard.
Bonus Points: the Jamaican had been shot by his neighbor.
tmc00138@reddit
How did he know the guy was Jamaican?
Glad_Celebration4475@reddit
The cops told him. They knew him from some petty drug crime he had committed.
That said, the Jamaican wasn't committing a crime when the neighbor shot him. He was leaving one of the apartment complexes behind the neighbor's house and accidentally entered the neighbor's yard while trying to find his way in foot back to the apartment complex where he lived.
East Dallas and Lakewood were having lots of property crimes at the time, and the neighbor thought he was trying to get into his house. The Jamaican ran when he was shot, got to my friend's house, and died in his backyard.
Really a terrible thing all around which made me decide to skip Swiss Avenue, even though my business partner loved it.

Was new to the general area and stopped at a liquor store in balch springs passing through on my way home from doing some shopping in Dallas. The parkinglot was pretty small and almost completely filled, near a busy intersection. I worried about parking my truck in there it was so tight. There were a couple trucks with trailers also parked in there along the building making it even tighter. It was the kind of parking situation you’re pretty much guaranteed to have issues.
Well my husband and I go in, turns out it’s a pretty cool spot, everyone friendly and happy for the weekend haha. We get our thing, then go to leave and we witnessed the most insane parking lot car coordination I’ve ever seen.
No one said a word to anyone else but somehow all the vehicles maneuvered with or around eachother perfectly. I’ve never seen more careful driving anywhere, much less at a liquor store. It was like some magical dance going on. No one got angry or annoyed, people just waited their turn or waved someone else ahead. I know Dallas area is known for crappy drivers but I did not witness it that day.
My husband and I still laugh when we remember that crazy alternate reality parkinglot.

Right across from DBU there was an old boat ramp leading into the Mountain Creek lake/res...
The water was filthy as hell but people didnt get the message.
Most people would just pull up to shoot meth, crack, or do drugs since the police RARELY ever came by.
One day Im sitting there smoking weed drinking some beer on a saturday, plenty other cars and people fishing/launching boats - and this asian dude comes up to my window obviously drunk or high. (40s or maybe even 50)
So he starts going on and on about gay dudes and stuff like that - so I deescalate and am like nah man Im just here to chill. So he wanders off back to his suv.. I then relocate my car facing the other direction across the lot.
Within about 20 mins I see this dude outside of his car like shaking his ass, spreading his cheeks and all types of weird shit. (keep in mind there were children within a direct view of this mans asshole.)
I tossed out my 40 and drove the fuck off. Never seen him there again.

When the first cold front arrives and the temps drop down to the 40's, some Dallasites dress in full Arctic gear to go outside. Others wear shorts year round, including in winter when the temps drop into the teens.

A distinct lack of variety in meats, cheeses, and breads at grocery stores.
If you think you do, no, you really don't.
longhairPapaBear@reddit
I dont know why you are being downvoted. I've heard the same from every European friend over the last 50 years.
twilightmoons@reddit
Two reasons I have seen:
Most Americans don't travel to other parts of the world, and when they do, they don't shop and cook for themselves like the locals do. They tend to eat at restaurants instead. If they go to local markets, they are often for tourists, and not for locals.
Americans like to think they have the best of everything, because they live in "the greatest country on earth." I once had a coworker upset because I said that Hershey's chocolate isn't popular in Poland, because there are much better chocolates for less there. Weird hill to die on.
We're Polish, and going to visit is also just going home. We stay with family, we go shopping for food and mostly cook at home. My family and my wife's family are from smaller towns, but the bigger cities aren't too far away and I've been to those stores, too. Since we mostly cook at home here as well, I am familiar with groceries here as well.
When we took my in-laws to Central Market, they were impressed more with the amount of everything, but not so much with the variety. The bread is good, but my family really prefers it when I bake bread.

Well put.

Eatzi's, Dallas Farmers Market
twilightmoons@reddit
Eatzi's starts to get closer, but still lacking in variety.
Dallas Farmer's Market is big, but there was still more variety at a small town market.
Not as much in volume - people may have only brought a box each of two different potato varieties, but there were others with other sorts of potatoes. The farmers markets in small towns are geared towards locals buying for lunch and dinner, as well as some of the local restaurants. This is
Same with fruits - no one had a dozen bushels of apples, but this person had a bushel of the variety they grew, the next person had two of the two different types that they grew, etc. I saw five different varieties of peaches, not including at least two kinds of nectarines. Lots and lots of different tomatoes, I didn't bother counting. Small, medium, large, various kinds of heirloom varieties, yellow, orange, purple, and red. They may have had just one or two baskets of any one sort of tomato, but they had twenty or thirty baskets, so you could pick the ones you wanted.
For sheer volume, the big farmer's markets in town do have the volume, and usually have the variety. But it takes longer to shop there, and our hometowns are small.
twilightmoons@reddit
No, I have. I shop at HEB and Central Market all the time. I also just got back from visiting home last month, and was shopping many mornings for fresh food. 15 minutes, and I was done for all the day's shopping.
There is more variety of cheeses, hams and sausages at a small deli off the town square at my wife's hometown of 15k people. You want kielbasa? Pick one of thirty or forty kinds. Hams? 20 or so. Cheeses from all over Europe.
There is more variety of bread at the bakery across the street than at Central Market. Not just loaves, but buns, rolls, baguettes, in all sorts of grains, baked that morning.
More kinds of pastries and sweets at the pastry bakery on the corner.
More variety of fruits and vegetables at the daily farmer's market across the square. I counted six different sort of onions, ten different plums, aronia, red, black, and white currants, lots of lettuce and cabbage varieties, lots of apple varieties that aren't sold in the States. Raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries that taste of the fruit and not muted and watery. Fresh wild forest strawberries that you can't find in the States.
I can get regular chicken eggs, green chicken eggs, brown chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and quail eggs, from the same small grocery.
It's the same across much of Europe, it's not some rare town. My hometown is the same.
The things that US grocery stores do have a lot more of are in the cereal and soda aisles.

Not Dallas, but just south in a small town called Cleburne. For years, back in the 90's & early 00's my ex and I would pass thru that area on the way to his family's second home. On many, many occasions there would be a woman sitting out in the main road, not fully but close enough to traffic to be concerned. She sat out there with her gas can huffing. Not a care in the world. Always wondered what happened to her.

Back in the nineties, my buddy and I had just dropped off my girlfriend at her house. We are driving down the main road out of her neighborhood (wooded area on the left, neighborhood streets on the right). Anyway, we are just chatting and all of the sudden a freaking huge bengal tiger runs out of the woods and into the neighborhood right in front of our car. Long story short, we called police and they said they had multiple calls and that night on the 10’oclock news, they said some guy was illegally keeping multiple “exotic animals” on his property and a tiger was loose. Never heard what happened after that… assuming no one was hurt and they captured it somehow.

A Medieval Times knight, in full costume walking into a suspicious massage parlor.
Ten years ago, my friends and I were staying at the DoubleTree near Market Center Boulevard for a conference. After a few drinks in uptown we pulled into the parking lot around midnight and noticed an unusually busy massage parlor called "Jade Spa." People were coming and going at a suspicious pace, and we even spotted a few familiar faces from our conference.
We were already laughing at the scene when we saw him. A full-blown knight from Medieval Times emerged from the back of the Medieval Times arena, crossed the field in his full squire's tunic and trousers, and walked straight into the Jade Spa.

A woman got out of the passenger seat, ran up to the porch and grabbed a package, but probably since the car was so loud, a person in the house opened the door right as she got there and yelled at her. She tripped and fell down the stairs, dropped the package, got up and dove into the Charger head first, then it peeled out with the door still open, the driver lost control, and barely missed hitting multiple parked cars. It was hilarious.
TL;DR if you're going to porch pirate, maybe use a getaway vehicle that's quieter than an Apache helicopter.

There's a dude who walks around my neighborhood in a spider-man suit. Regularly.
Then there's "Fuck the Police"-sign pickup-driving guy.
Naked masturbating guy.

I was on my motorcycle one very nice day at a stop sign around the Ervay, Corinth area and this nice lady on the sidewalk solicited me for her vagina. She lifted up her dress looked right at me and said, "You want some of this p#%sy?" Exposing her small and not so hairy kitty. She then proceeded to pat at it. I gave her a thumbs up and a smile and rode off into the hood. I hope it made her day!

While waiting at a light I saw a guy run into the intersection, rip his clothes off while screaming, and then take off running

I was driving home after a flight at like 2am. I was stopped at a red light on pgbt service road, then a car going on the other street at the intersection joyrode into a streetlight(or maybe a traffic light?) and flipped 180 degrees, then proceeded to give me a thumbs up. Wild stuff.

Sitting out on the patio, smoking the devil's lettuce with my sister, we watched a guy walk backwards down the street for like 5 minutes. Hands in pockets, hoodie over his head, never glanced backwards, never tripped or stumbled. Just walked backwards past our apartment and around the bend.

Not Dallas but Far North Dallas. In my neighborhood or area, people ride bikes on the road and mopeds & golf carts on the sidewalk. Damndest thing…

The car peacocking downtown with dodge chargers and those tri-cycles. Blasting music and engines. Nothing says I have a small penis like over compensating peacocking

The scale and consistency of mass casualty car accidents is almost as amazing as how desensitized the population is to how dangerous the drivers are here in Dallas.

This all happened in OED
There was once a calf living at the house behind us. It would go up to their back door and moo which was adorable but one day he disappeared and then they had a huge party and something was on the grill that smelled amazing.
Not too long ago I saw a woman walking a goat down Greenville Ave.
There used to be a family across the street who always had one member in some kind of trouble and then one day they brought the trouble home in the form of a police chase including units from Garland and Dallas. They caught him finally as he was entering 75N going the wrong way on an entrance ramp. His sister was arrested a few years later for running a credit card fraud ring.
We had a neighbor who was definitely on sone strong drugs and regularly got into it with people until he tried to fight some cops, then he disappeared. He was the trashiest of white trash. We called him Triple H - The Hip Hop Honkey.
I miss the characters who used to live in the neighborhood - the guy on the corner who had a big house but lived outside with his German shepherd, Freddie who was always riding around on his bike on sundays with his big ole radio strapped to the front blasting sermons, and the one homeless dude I used to chat with on the regular (it’s been a while and I don’t remember his name(.
It’s a different place these days. More property value but less flavor.

Couple years back off Fort Worth ave near where it turns into commerce, 1-2 am I’m passing by the closed down gas station and there’s multiple cars in a circle with people drinking around it and laying across the roofs of the car. In the middle of them was a shirtless man dancing for them and they were just watching him

Back in the nineties, a group of us dropped a bunch of acid one night. Coming down the next morning, we had a sober friend drive us to the Tom Thumb at Lovers and Greenville. As we were parking, a cowboy riding a gigantic red longhorn bull flanked by two riders on horses in full western get-up exit the front doors of the store.
My brain had a hard time with that one. I just wanted some eggs.

Once when I was driving on 35 north right before commerce st exit, I saw this fully naked woman walking in the left lane with no shoes. Cars were just getting over and driving around her like nothing

Been a solid 15 years. But watched a car pass in front of my house loop around the block in front of my house (large church parking lot between my block and the next block south that my house faced) and watched 2 guys do a drive by on a house right next to a basketball court I played at every day for probably 10 years.

During Covid the mask mandate my grocery store had signs stating masks must be worn to enter. Then I saw some dude come in wearing a mask but no shirt.
