I was thinking about this this morning, and frankly my place isn't all that strange. But I want to hear yours!
Strangest place: Abandoned hallway in Port of Portland Terminal Building (Portland, Oregon during a community fair).
the weirdest is probably in the backseat of my car at the lake. i had gone for a jog and my site had gotten caught and ripped out..luckily, i carried extra supplies with me so I could change it without having to drive home first and go an hour without insulin. i was only on the pump for 3months tho, so if it had been longer, maybe i'd have a weirder story. i also used to change it at work in the bathroom..i once got insulin ALL over the counter and myself changing it..
(that makes me wonder why people say the pump is easier cuz you don't carry so much stuff? even when i was on the pump, I still had to carry my insulin bag..only it had extra sites and insulin, which took up more room, instead of needles and insulin..)
I once changed my site right in the middle of some exhibit at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland, Ohio. My family and I were on vacation and I got a "NO DELIVERY" after I bolused for food.
In an airport terminal while waiting for a plane. I had forgotten to change before leaving the house, but I always carry a spare. The men's room was temporarily closed for cleaning purposes. I could have waited, but my BG was already high and my pump had probably been empty for an hour or more. I found a seat with no other people around and pulled up my shirt and changed my set. No problem at all.

I think I changed mine on a train once. I usually opt for an arm site if I'm changing it in public though. :)

I changed mine at a JDRF event called the Real Estate Games. It is were a bunch of commercial real estate industry folks have sort of an olympics and I changed my site while sitting on the sidelines waiting our turn in the volleyball tournament. A lot of my co-workers were all sitting around me, all interested in what I was doing. It was a good teaching opportunity.
I was at an amusement park and while waiting in a long line i got caught on a line seperator and it ripped out so i had to put a new one in while i was in line for the roller coaster because i didnt want to get out of linee.
Life is not over because you have Diabetes, it makes your accomplishments mean that much more.
this isnt that weird...but in a tent while camping:)
In a field laying in the grass at night at summer camp...after a rock climbing harness ripped it out. A girl who I never met was nice enough to shine a flash light at my stomach because it was DARK dark outside.
I think a long time ago I changed it in an airport terminal because I had run out of insulin, but I can't remember. Also, on the bathroom floor of this conservatory building.
Living life as it comes...
