1) “Mine. Mine. Mine.”

Sometimes nature just doesn’t love us back! They rather eat ice cream than to fly home on an empty stomach.

Oh well, it’s a good picture that can accompany a great story!

2) I Do Things…

I mean… I guess some people like to advertise things on their refrigerator? Most people just put up magnets from businesses and the like but some people like to stand out.

To each their own!

3) Gotcha!

The internet wins again! There’s no traffic, y’all. In fact, she’s driving with no hands. Just so she can take this photo.

(insert HEAVY sigh)

4) Today’s Lesson…

We’re going to throw thinking out the door today. It’s overrated. So grab your guns and aim them all at me and the person in front of you…

Major facepalm!

5) Looks Delicious!

When it’s on the plate that is. Poor thing doesn’t even know she’s missing out on the best part of the dish – the sauce!

I guess it’s better than landing on her lap!

6) Raindrops Fallin’ On My Keys

She left her keys in the car door. So, how did she start her car?! It’s probably happened before.

Yikes.

7) Gross!

Lady… you have dog poop just sitting out on the floor of your place? The ironic part, she seems to be really into appearances. Let me tell you, this definitely does not make you look good!

8) Put a Smile On

At least she’s happy! Maybe she just wants to make people smile. Or she’s just really having a “bum” moment.

Bummer.

9) “How do I look?”

Somewhat naked. Somebody didn’t do a good job with the background check before snapping this photo.

He will live in infamy.

10) Whoa, there!

People, you have to be careful with photos and mirrors! They catch things that we don’t. They are like the eyes on the backs of our heads that we wish we had!

11) Hmmm

I really want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say that he’s just washing the basket.

But then again, what if he isn’t?! We may never know.

12) It’s Not What You Think

Really! It isn’t! Take a closer look and you’ll see that it’s just the reflection in the glass.

Still pretty embarassing though!

13) People, People…

And I mean Walmart. Why have the sign with so much blank space on the bottom? Of course the shopper could just look over and see the blank sheets of paper. But remember, you must think like your shoppers…

14) Rough Day?

Either she’s never pumped gas before or is just having a rough go. I wonder if she looked around and saw how others were doing it. Probably not. I’m sure she would have seen that she was being recorded!

Aw, his dad is so proud that he wanted to take a photo of his spiffy son. But dad also kinda ruined the photo.

18) Follow the Directions…

Sometimes being in a hurry can set you back. This all could have been avoided! Now, they (literally) have to pay the price for it.

But do notice that there aren’t any cones where they veered off… Who’s really at fault here?

Now this is pretty awful. There’s a good chance that their vehicle was swept away into the water. Gone but this photo makes it so it is not forgotten.

Putting ones clothes in the microwave is a quick way to burn them. Or worse, start a fire. This guy is lucky.

24) “You’ll never get out!”

Well, this is pretty awful. I hope UPS did something to make up for this travesty!

But it’s UPS so these folks are likely on their own.

Someone lost their lunch on the orange line! Funny thing is, the guy in front of the photographer also took a photo of the door. I wonder who grabbed it when the doors opened…

31) “This looks good.”

Anytime you take photos with wildlife, you have to be vigilant! There’s simply no telling what they might do. Sometimes, we’re just food to them.

38) Mind Your Manners

When posing for a photo goes horribly wrong. I’m thinking she tossed the camera out after this. Hopefully at them. After she erased all of her photos of course.
