You’ve Gotta Be Careful
We know how exciting it is when you get a present. Especially when it's in an envelope, and you can't wait to tear the packet and get right to it, but sometimes it might be in your best interest to treat such gifts more carefully.
Here is the perfect example of how patience is a virtue and how it can pay off—literally, in this case, too! If this individual was not in such a rush, they might not have ruined this stash of currency notes. Hopefully, this teaches them a lesson, and we're sure they'll think twice before tearing anything else up.
Extra Fresh Salad
Many people love nibbling on a serving of fresh salad to quench their hunger and supply much-needed nutrients to the body. But sometimes, it is in our best interest to check our plate of food to prevent surprises from things that shouldn't be there.
However, a praying mantis accidentally appearing in a plate of vegetables isn't unusual. According to a 2019 article from the LiveScience website, a study conducted in the United States surveyed 40 cases of customers finding wildlife packaged in their salad mixes. You'd think insects would top that list, but it's amphibians; nearly 53% of all reported cases were of toads and tree frogs.
Improvised Pen Holder
It is hard not to look at this, as it's simultaneously humorous and heartbreaking. Although it appears that this savvy woman attempted to use her pen to hold her hair in place, she left unwanted ink stains all over her upper back and neck.
She would have been better off using a scrunchie to hold her hair in place. Speaking of scrunchies, they were the invention of Rommy Revson, a nightclub singer who wanted a more comfortable accessory for her hair. Her idea was said to draw inspiration from the elastic waistband of her pajamas, and in 1987, the design was patented.
She Didn't Understand The Question
People sometimes interchange words like male and boy, but they often mean the same thing, but this person did not get the memo. Or they didn't read the request correctly before making suggestions, and if that is the case, then there's no one to blame but the individual.
Sometimes people put a lot of thought into naming their pets, or in this case, puppies. According to the American Kennel Club, giving your dog a one- or two-syllable name is advised, but avoid names similar to commands. The same organization also states that some of the most popular male dog names include Max, Charlie, and Chester.
Thank Goodness It's Not That Big
Signs are usually put up to quickly and effectively communicate information to individuals. A little asterisk in them, however, indicates or points out something important, sometimes obvious, things that some people still fail to grasp or understand.
In this case, the sign in the picture indicates that the advertised hot dog is not actually as big as the image. However, that's something we expect most people would already know. It's hard to imagine someone honestly expecting to be sold a hot dog of that size. How could anyone possibly make that? And most importantly, how can any customer expect to finish it?
What Did The Oreos Do?
Signs like this indicate that bringing certain items is prohibited within the premises, but this raises an interesting question. What could someone have done to or with Oreos to warrant it getting a ban in the library? And it seems like the delicious cookies are the only victim here too.
Oreos never hurt anybody, and these tasty treats have existed since 1912 after being introduced by Nabisco. Since its establishment, they've been readily available in over 100 countries and are the best-selling brand in the United States and beyond. They have also released 65 limited-edition flavors since the company's 100th anniversary in 2012, including carrot cake and Wasabi.
Independence Day
It's hard to believe that this individual was serious when asking this question, as the answer is so glaringly obvious. The fourth of July is a very special day in America, as the nation celebrates its independence from British rule in 1776. It typically involves patriotic parades, live music, barbecues, and, of course, fireworks.
The largest fireworks displays are held in cities such as New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. In addition to these festivities, the holiday is also a time for families and friends to gather, enjoy time outdoors, and reflect on the freedoms and opportunities the nation provides.
Seems Like A Good Place To Dive Into
Picture yourself in a restroom, ready to freshen up after a long day. As you approach the toilet seat, ready to do your business, you notice a label warning you not to dive into it. You might be wondering; why warnings like this even have to exist in the first place.
Someone has likely tried this before, and it didn't go well for them. There's no limit to the things people are willing to do, no matter how idiotic they may seem. However, it's important to remember that toilets are not designed for activities other than their intended use.
Quick Math
The individual that asked the question in this picture is a prime example of why you should always pay attention in class and never skip school. If they paid attention, especially in biology class, this question would cease to exist.
According to the United States Department of Education, about 54% of people between the ages of 16 and 74 are illiterate, with the majority of them reading below a sixth-grade level. In a study conducted by Gallup, they estimated that illiteracy is a significant problem in the country and could be costing it as much as $2.2 trillion a year.
You Really Should Read That Again
Before writing and submitting anything, especially if you post it to the internet, it is advisable to crosscheck it to avoid any mistakes or spelling errors. It seems like this woman ignored that advice and put it out for the world to see.
Going by this tweet, she most likely wanted to say, 'misery loves company,' but somewhere along the line, she confused the word with the city. Or it could be a joke or clever pun about Missouri that we are unaware of. Also, did you know that this state has the largest beer-producing plant in the United States?
That's Not How You Eat An Egg
Most people above the age of five know how to eat a hard-boiled egg properly, but it seems like this person is still getting the hang of it. From the looks of this image above, the individual eats the eggs with the shells, and it's no wonder they didn't enjoy it.
Eggs are a staple in many kitchens, and for a good reason: they're versatile, easy to cook, and packed with nutrients like B12, B6, and Vitamin A. They also contain minerals like iron and zinc and are low in calories, making them an excellent choice for anyone watching their weight.
Bohemian What?
To our knowledge, there is no popular movie called "Bohemian Rap City." Still, it might just be a mistake from this individual who meant "Bohemian Rhapsody," a biographical drama film released in 2018 that depicts the life and career of the legendary British rock band Queen. It stars Rami Malek in the lead role as Freddie Mercury, the flamboyant and charismatic lead singer of Queen.
It also covers Queen's journey from their formation in the '70s to their iconic performance at Live Aid in 1985. The film showcases Mercury's rise to fame, struggles, and impact on music and popular culture.
Nature Had No Hand In This
Oh, poor Anthony! He probably believes Mother Nature is responsible for Mount Rushmore, but sorry to break it to you, buddy, she had no hand in that. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States, located in the Black Hills region of South Dakota.
This massive granite carving features the faces of four American Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln, and was carved into the mountain from 1927 to 1941. The artist behind the project, Gutzon Borglum, was a Danish-American sculptor inspired by the idea of creating a memorial to American democracy.
Seeing-Eye Dogs
It's a pity that this person's ignorance is so glaring that he has no idea how seeing-eye dogs work. They are a true gift to visually impaired individuals, providing them with independence and a sense of security in their daily lives. These fantastic canines are specially trained to guide their owners, navigate obstacles, and protect them from danger.
These dogs undergo rigorous training and must meet strict criteria to be selected for the job. They must be healthy, well-behaved, and possess a calm and patient demeanor. They must also be of a particular breed, with the most common choices being labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, and German shepherds.
The Ostrich Says Hello
A visit to an animal enclosure or safari is never complete without a few pictures of the animals, and this is precisely what this woman got. However, she doesn't seem very happy about it. The animal peeking into her car window is an ostrich, and they are among the more fascinating creatures on the planet, known for their massive size and unique characteristics.
They are the largest living birds and can grow up to 9 feet tall and weigh up to 330 pounds. Native to Africa, they can also run up to 45 miles an hour and are part of the ratite family, which includes emus and rheas.
The Third Wheel
At first glance, this looks like a romantic picture featuring a couple kissing while on top of different horses, and all looks fine. That is until you notice the gentleman below them in the water in an uncomfortable situation and struggling to stay afloat.
There is no need to worry about the horses, though, as they are excellent swimmers because of their massive lungs, which allow them to float naturally. When they encounter deep water, they have a natural tendency to swim and effortlessly perform a paddle-like movement, which is not unlike trotting. This innate ability is crucial to its survival in water.
Kick It Down
This picture is just one of the numerous funny and creative pictures to be taken at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and who wouldn't want to snap one at this iconic venue? It is one of the world's most iconic and recognizable architectural structures and was built as a bell tower for the nearby cathedral when its construction began in 1173.
Despite its famous lean, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is also known for its ornate beauty and intricate design. It is made of white marble and adorned with sculptures, columns, and arches, and the design is a unique blend of architectural styles, including Romanesque and Gothic.
Taking A Trash Pic
At a glance at this picture, one would assume that the man is taking a picture of the trash can and its contents spilling out from it. But, upon closer inspection, you would notice that he is focused on something else, meaning the object of his interest is beyond what this picture shows.
Another thing to note is his funny pose to capture that picture. That is not uncommon, as photographers are known to squeeze and contort themselves into awkward positions in order to get that perfect shot. Hopefully, he doesn't extend his legs any further and rip his pants.
An Adorable Onlooker
A marriage proposal is one of the most important moments, and people put a lot of thought into planning the perfect moment. This picture captures Nick Kelble proposing to his girlfriend, Hayley Roll, at the Cincinnati zoo, and one of the onlookers was Fiona, the baby hippo.
Fiona was born at the Cincinnati zoo in January 2017 and received round-the-clock care from the staff due to her weighing an unusual 29 pounds instead of the usual 55 to 100 pounds. The zoo turned to social media to keep people updated on Fiona's progress and to generate support for her care, and the story quickly went viral.
Get Off Me!
Swimming in the ocean is sometimes a gamble, as you never know what could come creeping up on you, and this woman found that out with this ray. The men behind her are laughing, but we bet she didn't find anything funny about it, judging from this picture.
Stingrays are flat, disc-like animals known for their graceful swimming and iconic sting. They belong to the family of cartilaginous fish, including sharks, and can be found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. They have a stinger located at the base of their tail, which they use for defense when threatened.
Highway Picture
This couple decided to take a picture next to this highway sign, and we can only speculate that it must have meant something to them. Maybe they have seen it featured on their favorite show and decided to get a picture for themselves.
Highways are one of the most important inventions of the 20th century, connecting cities and regions and paving the way for rapid and efficient transportation of goods and people. The United States highway was established in 1926, comprising over 160,000 miles. The most extensive system in America is the United States interstate, which opened in 1956.
Just Lean Back
You might think this individual was falling over in this picture. But what is happening is that the man is trying to kiss the wall, as is the tradition in Ireland. The Blarney Stone, as it is known, is located in Blarney Castle in Cork, is a symbol of Irish heritage, and is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the country.
It is believed to have been set in 1446. It is said to have the ability to bestow the gift of eloquence to anyone who kisses it, making it unsurprising that tourists and even locals attempt to do just that when visiting.
Don’t Lose Your Head
When you were a kid, your mother always warned you against losing your head, but it seems this woman didn’t listen and would instead go about her day without a head attached. Seriously though, this is one of the best photo illusions on the internet, and kudos to the photographer for being able to capture this.
We wonder how deep the man had to dig that hole, but burying yourself in the sand at the beach is a fun activity that people have enjoyed for generations. This simple yet satisfying pastime allows individuals to escape the heat and enjoy much-needed peace.
Don’t Make Her Cry, Mickey
This picture doesn't paint Mickey Mouse in a good light, as it seems like he just scared the little girl into crying on the floor. But images can be deceiving, though, and maybe the two were just enjoying a friendly game, but there's no way to know for sure.
Mickey Mouse is a generally well-loved Disney character and is even one of the most popular characters in the world. Since appearing in the 1928 short film "Steamboat Willie," he has been portrayed in various ways, from adventurous, to heroic, to becoming the fun-loving and cheerful character children all know and love.
Landmark Ahoy!
From the crowns on these people's heads, it is safe to assume that they are big fans of the Statue of Liberty and cannot wait to get up close and personal with the landmark. Did you know the statue was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and was constructed between 1875 and 1886?
It stands 151 feet tall, including its pedestal, and depicts Lady Liberty holding a torch aloft in her right hand and a tablet inscribed with the date of American independence in her left. The statue is copper; therefore, its natural patina gives it that distinctive green color.
It’s All About The Angles
Almost everyone has come up with a creative pose when visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but this must be one of the most baffling. That is no fault of their own, though, because it all depends on the angle from which the picture was taken.
The Leaning Tower is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country of Italy, attracting millions of visitors from all over the world since its completion in 1399. It has 294 steps which visitors can climb up all the way to the top to enjoy the breathtaking views of the city and the surrounding countryside.
He Probably Regrets His Decision
Burying yourself in the sand is one of the most fun things people do at the beach, but this man instantly regretted his decision, as you can see from this photo. The worst part is that he could not immediately wipe the seagull poop off his face and had to just lie there in silence.
Seagulls are often seen and referred to as pests, as they usually steal food from beach-goers and cause a racket with their loud cries. However, these birds are much more fascinating than their reputation suggests and are intelligent birds, with some of them even having the ability to use tools.
Not Coming Back Anytime Soon
Here is just one of the numerous humorous pictures we see on the internet daily, which prompts us to ask, where in the world is he going with all that luggage? One person cannot possibly pack all that for travel, and we wonder what is in those boxes.
Luggage policies for U.S. airlines vary, but most have size and weight restrictions for carry-on and checked bags. Most airlines allow one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a laptop or purse, per passenger, with carry-on bag size limited to around 22 by 14 by 9 inches. Bag weight limits are usually about 50 pounds.
So In Love
We can’t get over the awkward pose of these two gentlemen who are supposed to be in love, at least according to what the sign above them says. Or maybe they are a father-and-son duo and couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a snapshot together.
The bond between a father and son is unique, as sons often look up to their fathers as role models and sources of guidance, especially when growing up. A strong relationship between them creates a foundation of love, trust, and support that instills essential life lessons and brings immense joy and fulfillment, which can last a lifetime.
Quick, Before It Moves!
Just a simple piece of advice, never stand in front of a moving vehicle on the road to take a picture, or you might have some regrets. With that said, it seems like this tram is not moving. And this guy took that as his cue to pose in front of it.
Interestingly enough, the first trams were powered by horses and were used primarily in cities to transport goods and people. As technology advanced, trams were eventually powered by electricity, making them faster, more efficient, and more reliable, and their widespread adoption in the 19th and 20th centuries revolutionized urban transportation.
A Polka Dot Tan
It looks like this person left their feet in the Cocs for a little too long in the scorching sun, leading to these tan lines. They are caused by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, which penetrate the skin and stimulate melanin production.
However, when some areas of skin are covered and protected from the sun, they remain lighter, creating a noticeable contrast between tanned and untanned skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin damage, such as sunburn and premature aging, and people are advised to be mindful of how long they stay in the sun without adequate protection.
Surprise Visitor
What do you do when you open your front door to find a baby seal staring back at you? Many people would want to play with it because of how cute it is. Baby seals are usually born on land and spend the first few weeks of their lives nursing and growing. During this time, they put on a lot of weight, often doubling their birth weight in just a few weeks.
This rapid growth allows them to become strong swimmers quickly, and their streamlined bodies and webbed feet help them to explore their aquatic habitat further. Their thick layer of fat also helps keep them warm.
I’ll Take That
Pelagic birds are known for stealing people’s food, especially at the beach, and this is a perfect example of that, as this delicious-looking doughnut is quickly snatched away by this mischievous one. These birds can eat up to 20% of their body weight daily and have an average lifespan of ten to 15 years.
They also have a remarkably keen sense of sight and smell, which helps them detect food from over three miles away, and it is no surprise how they are so quick to snatch up almost any food in sight. They are also reportedly able to recognize faces, especially those who frequently interact with them.
Selfie Time
This is such a beautiful photo between this woman and this giant tortoise. They are such gentle creatures that almost anyone can walk up to them and take a picture. Out of all the tortoise species, the Galapagos giant tortoise is the largest, and a typical male can weigh more than 500 pounds.
Aside from their size and weight, they are also known for their incredible longevity, as the average one can live for more than 100 years, and the record belonged to one that lived for 176 years. These giant tortoises can also survive for up to a year without food.
Fright & Flight
You might be laughing at the woman in this picture, but very few of us can keep our composure when there’s an eagle perched on our shoulders. This particular bird is the black-chested buzzard-eagle, also known as the Chilean buzzard, and is native to South America.
They spend most of their time soaring in the skies, and when they are not doing that, they often perch on cliffs or power poles. The buzzard-eagle is a bird of prey that feeds on smaller animals like snakes and lizards, and sometimes they make other birds like domestic pigeons part of their diet.
