Put on your thinking caps and pull up your smarty pants because you’ll need to be dressed to impress around these smart people. They clearly know what it means to be clever, and even a dummy could tell that from this collection of photos.
Enjoy these pics of people who are smarter than pretty much anyone I know.
1. This parent, who is sick of living in a mine field.
I don’t know if you’ve ever stepped on Lego, but I have — and let me tell ya… I think I’d prefer a live minefield. What a genius.
3. This Thomas Edison of makeup preservation.
Listen, makeup takes a long time to apply, and every single stroke with the liquid eyeliner pen is another chance for things to go off the rails. When it’s good, you gotta do everything you can to keep it that way.
4. This kiddo, who just wants to moss and watch some Instagram vids.
Everybody knows the dangers of holding their cellphone above their face, and a few of us even have the scars to prove it. He’s got the right idea, if you ask me.
5. These parents, who’d rather roll with it.
One of the dangers of having kids is how destructive they are. When something like this happens, all you can really do is make the best of it, because otherwise you’re bound to go insane.
6. This grandpa, who was bested by technology.
I have a hard enough time keeping up with technology, and I’m a millennial. I can only imagine the struggle the elderly face. A for effort here, Gramps.
7. This advertising campaign that has me sold.
If I saw this, I’d be running around looking for things to pressure wash. I’ve seen those videos on YouTube, and they’re hella satisfying.
8. This person, who’s suffering from a snack attack.
I would argue that she’s missing the best part of Takis, which is sucking the dust off your fingers like a disgusting slob. Taki dust is a privilege, not a right, and she’s abusing it.

Photographic evidence that when you ask stupid questions, you get stupid answers. If you’re not okay with cleverness like this, then be more specific!
10. This repurposed sexy prop, which was designed for a different kind of shower use.
Have you ever tried to shave your legs in a stand-up shower before? It is literally hell. This company should rebrand these —they’d make millions.
11. This clever Halloween costume.
The best costumes are sometimes the simplest, and this kitty proves that with her Beanie Baby ensemble. She looks absolutely puuuuurfect, if you ask me!
12. This girl, who has given up on heels.
They say you don’t know what someone’s going through until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes, but in this case, I’d doubt you’d even make it that far. Those things look painful.
13. This dad, who clearly knows how to make his kids happy.
This is the kind of thinking that gets you a Nobel Prize. At least I think it is. You get those for doing smart stuff, right? Well, give this man the trophy.
14. This person, who can’t be bothered to pay for parking.
The easiest solution would be to not park illegally, but who has time for that? I wonder exactly how many tickets this has gotten them out of.
15. This frequent flyer who knows what she wants and how to get it.
Sure, it might be strange for the flight attendants to have to wake up a passenger, but it’s probably better than a hungry passenger who missed the concession cart.
16. This girl, who is not down with paying for overpriced movie snacks.
Which is totally fair because who is? I looked it up, the average markup on movie popcorn is 1,275%. Sweet baby Jesus.
17. This dentist, who cares about his patients’ comfort.
In case you can’t quite make it out, that’s a Where’s Waldo? puzzle on the ceiling. The perfect distraction when having a drill shoved down your throat!
18. This party cup hack.
This is the perfect way to help your party guests accomplish…their goals, whatever they may be. I’m sure a lot of people were happy about this.
19. This person who had no time to make a grilled cheese sandwich.
I guess the only real danger with this is your bread shooting out onto the floor when the toaster pops up, but if you’re careful, I’m sure you could manage.
20. This real estate agent who knows how to sell himself.
I don’t even know where he’s based out of and he has my business. I’m such a sucker for clever marketing.
21. These clever kids, who are definitely smarter than me and my friends.
I don’t know a single person who would’ve thought to do this, myself included. I’m also not a narc though, so maybe that’s why.
22. This girl, who needed to get too many groceries up too many flights of stairs.
Seriously, she should be the next president. She is clearly smarter than anyone else in the universe.
23. This person, who wasn’t worried about semantics.
Sure, it’s not how you’d traditionally say “Merry Christmas,” but it’s just going to get ripped off and thrown in the garbage anyway, so who cares?
24. This kid. His mother must be so proud.
Riley understands the importance of seeing things as they are sometimes, and using his imagination to make those things better. Or maybe he’s just lazy, I dunno.
