What is the weirdest thing you have ever seen your dwarves do? Saw a warrior grab booze, take it to practice decide he didn't want it anymore and take it back.

[wierd]

Just your usual fare.  Urist dies going after sock, creating sock cascade.

Urist falls asleep in the cavern seeking silk thread. Gets trapped between maturing mushroom trees. Spams cancellations.

Urist engages in OCD washing after getting mud on his feet returning from well.

Union staff break beekeeper...

You know. Usual stuff.

[Girlinhat]

Probably my militia guardsman always standing around the same area.  The area where his child failed a mood and he was ordered to kill the child.  Always just loitered there...

Then again there was the one time my militia commander (solo) attacked an elven caravan, chopping off an elf's leg in one swing before suddenly becoming thirsty and running away in terror, only to return 2 minutes later and finish.

I'll go with hang out in the cemetery. As many there as the dining hall.

[Kie]

I watch all the idle children party...

[Matoro]

My children party on my prisons. Yes, the start parties on +lead chain+. If there's no party going, there's still random idlers. In prisons.
I don't understand why they like so much prisons.

...Then again there was the one time my militia commander (solo) attacked an elven caravan, chopping off an elf's leg in one swing before suddenly becoming thirsty and running away in terror, only to return 2 minutes later and finish.

"KILL ELF!"
"Oh wait, booze..."
"OHWAITELF!"
"KILL ELF!!"

In my fort in the old version, Earthspirals, I had a small handful of dwarves who were truly great warriors, surviving when all others died and who were responsible for the entire defence of the fort. This was in Fortress Defence mod, and the greatest amongst them was Commander Inod, a scarred veteran with mismatched armour, a silver warhammer and a missing hand.
After breaking many sieges near single-handedly, (literally, since y'know, missing hand) and seeing the couple of friends he'd made over the years die, (I was always trying to get him to make a friend) Inod starting acting oddly.
After a while, he started spending ever waking moment (he may have even slept there, don't remember), whether on or off duty, standing in the same spot just to one side of the entrance, next to a statue.
He only ever left that spot to eat, drink, and beat the living shit out of the hordes of approaching invaders.
Ahh, I miss that fort now...

[Agent_Irons]

The other day one of my hunters went hunting, spent his ammo, closed to beatdown range, as usual.

He got in a couple of good thumps with the butt of his crossbow, then seemed to remember it works better when loaded. Went looking for ammo, realized he was being pursued by a crippled hedgehog, and ran in gibbering terror from the animal he was mercilessly pounding into paste seconds before.

The icing? He got about six steps and fell asleep.

[Chilton]

When I tried setting up Traffic Areas for the first time.
Someone decided that running around a Workshop over and over was the best Path to get inside it.

...Over. And over. And over.

[lava dwarf]

my oddest one is one of my dwarfs would try to cross a river fall down a waterfall get up and do it over and over

[robertheinrich]

Itīs not really weird, but my current still is rather a pub. Urist McBrewer takes empty pots from the stockpile nearby and brews sunshine (yes! I finally found a spot with sun berries) from the plant stockpile right next to it. Dwarves somehow never bother to haul the drinks to the booze stockpile right next to the meeting hall. Instead they go straight down to the still, drink it, and place the empty pots back on the pot stockpile. Itīs the first time ever that I get an embark where I can brew sunshine... maybe it creates a stronger urge to drink it compared to other alcohol?

[FrisianDude]

Or maybe there's no room in your stockpile. Make another stockpile specifically for booze.

[peskyninja]

My hammerer kind of got "Stuck" with one +granite rock pot+. She always carry the pot, anywhere, even when he is going to beat a criminal she keeps the pot on the right hand and hauls the hammer and carry her son on the left hand.

[robertheinrich]

Thereīs plenty room left in my booze stockpile near the meeting hall. Iīm guessing the workers just take the shortest way to the next booze which happens to be the one cluttering up the still. It was in a kinda state of equilibrium where the still output was not high enough to fill the stockpile and the guys drank right from the still.
