Weird problems


A weird problem involves causing someone a problem which has no conceivable benefit to yourself in a way which is baffling to the person the problem is being inflicted upon. I’m going to divide these problems into two categories. The first is actual – an actual weird problem is one which has been witnessed or carried out. The second is hypothetical – a hypothetical weird problem is one of those which occur to us as a thought when carrying out our everyday business. It’s a ‘what if...’ scenario. I think everyone experiences compulsions to behave inappropriately; the weird problem is one example of such thoughts.

The animal kingdom is a great place from which to gain inspiration for WPs. A cat of mine once tried to force her snout into my ear for minutes solidly whilst purring profusely, it was a gleeful and pointless act on her part.    
I would like to invite anyone reading this to contribute weird problems either actual or hypothetical in nature. Please bear in mind the following criteria:

-         - Weird problems must not be malicious towards a specific person or group of people
-         - There should be no conceivable reason for or benefit in inflicting the problem
-         - They can be inflicted upon anyone at any time, in both the public or private sphere
