Comment:

 > but in my opinion if get_the_ID() is caught outside of the loop it
 should not return anything or it should return the get_queried_object_id()
 instead of picking any items from the loop.

 Can you be more specific about what it means to be "outside" of the loop?
 Does the bug happen both before and after the loop?
