oddnique

a combination of odd and unique to describe absolutely obscure and exceptional moments that make you smile about the absurdity of life.

I had an oddnique moment yesterday evening when a housemate of mine came back from Stuttgarter Wasen. She was in a good mood though it had been quite an odyssey for her to get home using several transportation systems including, walking, hitchhiking, taking the train and finally the bike. Unfortunately, she lost her jacket but somehow found herself a new one. She also lost her phone and had severe problems with breathing in her tight dress. Eventually she found out that it was the phone she had kept in her dress that was preventing her from breathing.
