Sometimes it can be a little unsettling, the notion that everyone has a camera on their person at all times nowadays. However, it can also allow people to capture some hilariously unique moments.
So, to show off a few of these moments, here are 14+ unexpected moments we accidentally caught on camera.
RELATED STORIES
“The Moth!”
Wow, that baby has the cold, dead-eyed stare of a psychopath, I’d keep a close eye on that kid as they grow up!
“Must be a Church of Ladder Day Saints.”
I mean, the guy at the top of those ladders will be able to meet God soon enough and then he can just ask God to fix the roof I guess.
“The meeting between my nephew and a bison, besties.”
“Excuse me, sir, can you please stop crying and give me the carrot?”

Sometimes you just have to dance when the meow-sic takes over you…
Wow, I’m ashamed of that one, all I can say is…sorry.
“Walmart bike purchase…”
Every time I look at this I can’t help but hear a record scratch and imagine a TV voiceover saying, “I bet you’re wondering how I got into this mess!?”
“Yoink!”
If you’re not always on the lookout for seagulls when eating an ice cream then you can only expect this kind of thing to happen. You need to be vigilant!
“My Keys!”
From this picture it looks like this kid is trying to pull his keys back down into his hands with the power of his mind. Good luck with that!
Not The Best Situation To Be In…
“Hey…hey, photographer! Is there something behind me?”
“No, not at all, you’re fine.”
“Oh, really? Phew, thank goodness.”
“Welp…”
That bride is about to be absolutely furious. Dear Christ, you can already feel the tension that’s about to be in that room!

Look, at least she appears to be still happy about having fallen off the chair! Well, she does at this point anyway!

I love that you can see these people’s differing reactions to someone falling over, from those already expressing concern to those who are already starting to laugh!

That is great falling technique that this kid has developed, star-fishing is the best way to make sure that you can get a great photo out of a fall…as well as massively injuring yourself.

“Hey, Dave, you wanna play a game of tennis?”

Well, now I can’t help but to imagine a gopher popping up out of the hole wearing the ring and screaming, “Yes! A thousand times yes!”

Sometimes it is crucial in diving to get a really good close-up look at the diving board. I mean, I’m assuming that it is, I’ve never had a proper diving lesson before.

This is why it is so hard to take a picture with Jesus, he’s such a bloody show off.

Slow and steady wins the race, but quick and slip wins the head injury.

I love how unbothered the man on the left is. You just know the next words out of his mouth were, “I told you so.”
“Caught my brother falling skim boarding while taking a picture of my wife and daughter (zoomed).”
Over your lifetime you’ll have tons of pictures of your wife and kid, but only one picture of your brother falling while skim boarding. Probably, anyway.

You also get kind of sweaty. Quench that thirst and clean that skin all in one go!

This is either an amazing lucky shot, or that man caught a ghost.

The two birds next to him look like they’re saying, “Really, Jerry, you’re doing this right now?”

His lips are already pursed in acceptance. He tries to catch it but knows it is futile. She is meant for the creek.
“Me, loosing a race down a sand dune to my brother.”
The shoes even fell off, that’s a true wipeout.

Sure, this is an incredible picture, but I’m just baffled at what kind of asshat would flick a cigarette randomly in a crowd of people.

It may have been an escape attempt, but he has perfect form, bravo.
