Speaking of WTF moments, surely the following sorts of moments must occur to some of you here: those moments where you're standing there, in the middle of it, and you realize you're right in some sort of surreal WTF moment.

That happened to me tonight. I'm on my way home from seeing True Grit when I decided to stop in to get a quick bite from one of the fast foods spots that are actually open. I'm inside and ordering my food, when I hear some loud and slurred Spanish to my left. I turn and look and I see this guy who is clearly drunk and probably a bum. What struck me is he appeared to be begging in Spanish, which I had never seen. The target of his request was standing directly behind me, and this guy was a midget (and very plainly white, going with Spanish was probably not the best language choice on the part of the bum).

And that's the moment--seeing a drunk Mexican bum speaking only Spanish hit up a midget for some cash. Weird. And then as if that wasn't enough, when I turned back to the cashier, he gives me wadded up cash for change.
