A man asked me what year it is

[arab-freak]

I feel really weird right now...a guy in the street asked me what year it is. Is that normal?

I was walking out of the mosque today, going home. Before crossing the street, a hand tapped my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw a 20-something year old man with brown hair, a beard, and a mustache. He was wearing a black suit, and by the look in his eyes I thought he was going to do something evil.

He said (in arabic) : "Excuse me, but do you know what the date is?" I said: "Yeah sure, it's March 18th." He said: "Thank you...and the year?" I laughed..."What?" Then, very calmly, he said: "The year please, tell me." That was when I felt weird...I then told him it was 2005 and hurried off...that was somewhat scary.

He could be homeless. They don't really have a calendar, do they?

No...homeless people dress like shit. He was wearing a SUIT. A clean suit, with a purple-black tie.

I thought the arabic calender was still in the 1400's. Im not sure, but its one of the middle east religions.

Do I smell a demon?

No-one looks at the arabic calender. At school they teach us to write it down, bu we don't really care. And it's 1423, I think...

Well maybe that guy bumped his head or something and couldn't remember the date. It is pretty weird though, never happened to me before.

OMG ITS A TERRORIST!

Or maybe he just had too much crack.

[vagrant-fluke]

hmmmm i often forget the year
its just one of those things i don't think about
the other day i was filling out a form and i nearly put '03, i quickly remembered what year it was.
but to forget all together, that is odd. perhaps he had just come through a wormhole or something. he might be from another world

Clearly, this is a case of time traveling.

Or a really funny prank.

[kyniver]

Well thats heaps freaky. But like no big deal i guess. What could be the worst thing a guy could do with a date?

[Ghetto-Penguin]

That's pretty funny. I hope you gave him a quarter.

...he’s either stoned or extremely stupid
i'll go with the first one…
man that’s weird..

[ZeroAsALimit]

I fail to see how that is scary. I have forgotten the year before. I have reffered to it being 2002 when it was 2004, etc.

Some people are just very forgetfull.

[FromADistance]

Hmm, asking what year it is is very strange, but asking what date it is, well, people can forget the exact date. I think it might have been a homeless man, but since I wasn't there, I won't know.

[arab-freak]

I don't know about you, but in Egypt, homeless people don't dress nice. They can't afford expensive suits. They also don't look, smell, or talk nice. The man I described was clearly a civilian, not a hobo.

[NGWOAnarchyPenguin]

Maybe he was actually chinese and was expecting something like "Year of the dragon".

I've had days that were so fucked up that I would be like "omgwtfbbq" and wouldn't know what the year was.

It's normal.

[MakeYourselfSick]

Maybe he's just slightly insane.

[Mr-Fluffykins]

Lol what the fuck, i would have been freaked
