Sometimes it can be hard to see the things that are right under your nose. I, for instance, am always looking for my glasses only to find them on my head.
So, to showcase a few people of a similar mindset, here are 14+ things that were hidden right under our noses.

Oh, what? you’re telling me that you don’t have a buff Albert Einstein poster behind your jam jars? Get a life!
“Found this guy hiding behind a picture frame…”
This little happy yet angry fella looks like he has been drawn to be in Futurama , and I can’t tell why that is. Maybe it’s the eyes?

This guy is a true master of the dad art form of looking furiously for something without actually getting up. Impressive.

This UPS delivery guy obviously went to the Scooby-Doo school of hiding. However, I like that he made an attempt!

How pleased do you think this kid was with this idea? I can just imagine them thinking as this picture was being taken, “I’m a genius, they’ll never find me here. What a great idea.”

It’s mostly pointless putting a sign like this on your cat as, with hypnotic eyes like those, there is no way anyone isn’t going to just feed him again anyway.

So, is this actually classified as thinking inside the box, or outside the box? I can’t work it out!

This guy looks mighty furious that he has been disturbed. However, the person who posted this was just glad they didn’t impale him on their trowel by accident.
“Seriously though, why did it take a global pandemic to install anti-peek dividers in restrooms?”
This should have been implemented from day one. Who was the guy who thought, “Let’s not have the barrier go all the way up past people’s heads. Why? ‘Cause I’m a weirdo!'”
“Best way to hide a dent.”
So, does this mean that this car is worthy? I feel kind of bad that a beat-up 4×4 is more worthy than myself.

There must be a building site in absolute disrepair somewhere if they’re calling in the big guns!

That dog looks like it has absolutely no time for time-wasters. Either adopt him or get out of his face!
Looking For Kale…

Apparently their dad was trying to find the cough drop on the floor of their house for ages before they managed to find it on the dog.

As far as presents from your cat go, a new house is a lot better than a dead mouse in the mouth first thing in the morning!

What cat? I can’t see a cat in this image anywhere. Truly, cats are masters of deception.

And now you have a list of people who will never be invited to parties again, little thieves.

Pranks like this are the gifts that keep on giving. It’ll be six months from now and he’ll still be finding sets.

This is a great lesson to teach kids! Stand up for yourself, don’t take less than what you want, look trouble in the eye, and beat it down.

I live alone and have no use for tampons, but my first reaction was still “that’s so genius, I should try it.” That’s how you know it’s good.

They’re just grabbing a snack between calls. Soon you’ll be hearing that weird siren as they speed off to bust some ghosts.
“Asked my 5 year old where his pear went. ‘I hid it in the bathroom, see if you can find it.’ The scariest part is he thought he was still gonna eat it.”
The scariest part to me is how much pear he left on there. So much delicious fruit goodness, wasted.

Why was someone barefoot in her house? Did they really show up to a house viewing, where they knew they’d have to maybe take their shoes off, in sandals?
“Mom hid brownies in one place stepdad won’t look.”
If this is somewhere your stepdad would never look, I think he should start doing his own laundry.

What kind of organizing system did this person try to implement? Aside from the obvious mislabeling of Allan keys, there seems to be no system at all!
“Spotted on a cross country trip.”
I told my mom that Lunchables were still fine to eat as an adult and she didn’t listen to me. Maybe this will show her they’re full of all the nutrients a man could need.
“Everything I’ve ever learned is telling me to dig.”
“X” always marks the spot… or is it “X” never marks the spot? I think I need to watch Indiana Jones again.
