Anybody got any "WTF?" moments?

Did you guys know there's a Council Base in the basement of the PI police station? I took a radio mish "Defat Archon Manuela and Guards" and the door to the mish was the elevator in the back of the police station. The PPD are owned by the Council! It's all a Council Plot!

Also, way back when I was leveling Imm, soloing in Galaxy City, I was around 3 or so, and just ducked behind a wall as a horde of 40ish Freakshow came around the corner.
Nemesis's latest plot seems to be to creep me the hell out, since when I fly around Perigrine Island I frequently hear choruses of about ten of them shouting to detain me at the same time. This ONLY happens with Nemesis.
Also, once I took a scanner mission to defeat Operative Greench, and the door to it was the AE hologram column thingee. I had no idea the PPD were so concerned about video games...
I just had one. I was in the Rikti War Zone, and I had to look two or three times because I kept thinking it said my contact was Macy Gray.

Door missions on Thorn Isle in Nerva with a bank behind the CoT entry. But, then, I suppose even the CoT need someplace a little more secure than Oranbega; there are people trotting through there killing everyone in sight and looting everything that isn't nailed down all the time...

I have a favorite story I love to share about my Tanker Blue Diamond. This was in the very earliest days of the game, so I was running around for the first time in King's Row, after getting to about level 10. So definately a newbie. I had seen enough of the Vahzilok to understand what they were about, and I had seen the animations where the Reapers lean over the body of a "victim" as their idle animation.
Anyway, I come around a corner, and another hero is fighting valiantly against the horrid and disturbing zombies and their mad doctor keepers. I stand back because I don't want to kill steal, but I take a look at his HP, and he's failing fast. I consider jumping in to help, but it's already too late. He falls at his attackers' feet.
At which time, I swear, the nearest Reaper goes into his idle animation, crouching OVER THE HERO'S BODY, and pulling out his cleaver to begin hacking limbs off. The player had probably respawned at that point, but the image was already in my head, and I couldn't get it out.
I yelled out, "THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!" and charged at the Vahz. Several minutes later, I had wiped them all out. Maybe I was too late to save the hapless hero, but I was going to get his revenge for him.
I have yet to see anything like that happen again, and in fact it may have been a glitch with an unintended animation. But it got such an intense reaction out of me I remember it quite vividly to this day. 
And Blue Diamond always attacks Vahzilok on sight. (He even has the Gravedigger badge)
