15+ Times People Had ‘Interesting’ Problems To Solve

Everyone can encounter a strange problem from time to time, the sort of situation that you find yourself in and thinking, "How did my life end up here?"

Well, from gigantic errant pigs sleeping on your thrown-out mattress to having to help your dog out of a septic tank, here are 15+ times people had "interesting" problems to solve.

"The universal pandemic experience: eating garbage and falling asleep on the nearest comfortable thing."

Wow, this is the most painfully relatable content that I have seen for a long time. I wonder how the trash collectors went about waking this fella up to dispose of that mattress, I wouldn't fancy waking it!

"The milk situation at work is starting to get a little serious."

Some people will really go to extreme lengths to keep their milk safe from the office milk thieves, but this is more extreme than any measures I have seen before.

"Had to have the vet shave my cat to treat a skin issue, and he looked so fake no one believed these photos were real."

Of all of the problems that you can have with a pet cat, people thinking that your cat isn't real is a really weird one!

"My local auto parts store has an interesting problem."

If you have to put a sign like this up then I think that you really need to be asking the people who come into your store if everything is going okay in their life.

"Painters had to mask off the pantry but still had our backs."

These guys really went the extra mile to accommodate snacky people! Christ knows that I would have torn through that immediately for a packet of crisps.

"Good to know!"

Maybe, just maybe, they should not have a door that leads directly to a six foot drop in the first place?

"I did not look closely enough at that label."

Mmmm, garlic brownies, what a treat! These are the perfect way to take out vampires as well, as nobody can resist a brownie!

"The situation at my friend's apartment right now."

I have an undying love for racoons, but if you encounter one in the wrong mood they can be really angry little things!

"Someone stole an entire pavement overnight."

Yet another pavement stolen, what is this world coming to! I hear there is a big market for people selling stolen pavements online, it's a growing problem that no one ever thought we would ever be facing!

"I think my grocery store might have a theft problem."

Wow, I have never seen a shop put individual cans in secure boxes! How long is it before we're having to also put pavements in these kinds of boxes as well I wonder?

"The thought of this makes me want to cook at home even more."

I know that they're trying to encourage people to keep the place clean, but I think that this is just encouraging me to never go to this establishment.

"Left my covid vaccine card in my pocket on laundry day."

I'm sure that places will still take this as proof that you have had the vaccine! I mean, it's not like anyone would lie about something like this!

"A sign I wish I didn't have to make."

I dread to think how many times a customer angrily came up to this person with their hands covered in sticky napkins only for this person to think, "Christ, not another one."

That's Not How That Works...

I wonder how long the person who did this was stood there for pumping at this waiting for anything to come out.

"My brother likes his hot dogs peeled.... I'll just leave this here for you to be the judge."

Nope, no one should ever be subjected to having to see someone eat a hotdog like this. Their brother needs professional help.

"These shoes aren't mine. My dog managed to get out today and brought them home. Now I have to try to return them all to my neighbours. If I don't laugh, I'll cry."

All of those shoes that it brought back and it only managed to find one pair! You clearly need to train your dog to be a better shoe thief is what I'm getting from this!

"This kid forgot which foot he was pretending to be hurt with..."

Once you commit to a bit, it is important to stick to it! This was a really poor effort my man, you had literally one thing to remember.

"My dad putting an iPhone 7 screen protector on his 7plus and not seeing a problem with it."

Someone also pointed out the socks and sandals combo at the bottom of the picture. Now that and the wrong sized screen protector is a dad combo.

"My dog (Piglet) fell in a septic tank this morning. He's completely fine but uhh he smells like death."

That is the regretful face of a dog that has been stuck in sewage! Fortunately, Piglet's owner went on to say that he was safe and sound now, and added, "It was bad, but luckily it had been drained the day before so it was only a day of sewage. It was gross, for sure!"
