We’ve all been there… something amazing happens, truly a once in a lifetime moment that you cannot wait to share, and yet when you tell your friends and family, no one believes you.
Thankfully, with pretty much everyone having access to a camera at all times, these moments are much more easily captured – and there is no better place for these moments than the internet. So, here are 16+ of the best photos of moments that, had they been explained to you, would have made you say, “There’s no way that happened!”
“Walked past two guys on a bridge in Paris and thought, ‘Wow, that guy really looks like Wes Anderson…’ then I saw who was walking with him.”
As a millennial hipster-type, I love Wes Anderson and cannot imagine how much I would freeze up were this to happen to me.
“I just saw a nun rollerblading around the beach in Toronto”
Now that’s what I call a holy roller!
I’m sorry about that terrible joke, I guess old habits die hard!
“Chuck Norris pinned by my dad.”
This is quite simply the ultimate, “My dad is tougher than your dad!” trump card.
“Just before I put my camera away, I saw this orangutan take a taro leaf and put it on top on his head to protect himself from the rain”
This photo was taken by Andrew Suryono, and thank goodness he took the photo as I imagine if he went around telling people he’d seen an orangutan with an umbrella, there’d have been some quite intense questions asked about what drugs he was on.
“Sandwich shop offers Liam Neeson free food, Liam Neeson show up”
I don’t know what you want… but if you are offering a free meal, I will find you.
“I was eating lunch in the local park when I heard a rustling sound under the bench I was sat on…”
“Then a squirrel ran out from underneath it carrying a full doughnut, sat on the grass in front of me and proceeded to eat the entire thing.”
That is it, I have finally found an animal that really represents me.
“Girl stuck in basketball hoop (Emmen, The Netherlands)”
I have so many questions that I know simply will never be answered. Just look at the despondent faces of the emergency services helping her, all of that time and training to have to rescue someone who got themselves stuck in a basketball hoop.
“Raising anchor of your oil tanker only to realize you’ve hooked an unexploded torpedo”
“I think it’s stuck on something.”
“Just give it more of a yank.”
“You sure, what if its stuck on a torpedo?”
“Dave, for the last time, what are the odds of that happening?”
“After eight hours of balancing stones on the beaches of Lake Superior yesterday, I was exhausted. Then I saw this big white rock, got re-inspired, and created one more piece, the favorite of the day.”
I mean, well done I guess. I’m sure it was definitely worth the eight hours spent doing it…
My Dog Ate My Homework… Honest
Mmmmmm, tasty, tasty homework. Looks like you’ll be picking up factually accurate faeces for the next few days!
“Heard something going on in the kitchen then heard screams of bloody murder. Walked in and saw this. A goat stuck in my trash can.”
Actually, scratch my previous comments, this goat is my spirit animal. It has the perfect balance of grace and class.
“Welp. I saw a velvet Bentley today.”
But why? Surely there can be no one this tasteless who actually… oh, who am I kidding? Of course this is a thing!
“The Missus saw a raccoon crossing the road this morning, so she slowed to let it pass… Then she lost track of it. Here’s where it ended up.”
“Yeah, looks like your clutch is completely worn out mate, gonna be a big job.”
Bicycle Made Of Clear Lexan Panels
I think I’d actually rather ride this thing around than the velvet bentley. It’d be better in the rain that’s for sure!
“An Owl flew into my car once, in Las Vegas, while the car was moving with the windows open.”
I know owls have that habit of looking perpetually shocked, but this owl seems particularly startled!
“A turkery jumped in my car once. It was so funny I decided to shut the door and take a picture because it looks like the turkey is driving the car.”
Its not only owls you need to look out for, but turkeys as well apparently. I’d like to see it angrily gobble-gobbling away at other drivers while stuck in traffic.
“My friend Joe had a visitor at his ice cream truck last night. Until these came through…I didn’t believe him.”
And so we go full circle, ending with Bill Murray yet again, this time grabbing a late night ice-cream. I bet they call him mad for having a late night ice-cream stand (well I would) until he shows them this photo.
“I Walk Through The Park And Suddenly I Saw This”
I feel like I just interrupted a meeting of some kind.
“Kansas City Fire Department Saves Kansas City Police Department From Elevator”
You know that Beatles song that’s like, “I get by with a little help from my friends?” I don’t think I need to elaborate.
“My Aunt Got Some New Neighbors Who Came By To Introduce Themselves Today”
But the real question is…which one of them saw their shadow?
“Life Imitates Art”
That’s some Pixar Animated Studios ish right there.
“When I Was 11 I Played Chess With Morgan Freeman”
See, you can come face to face with God himself. It’s not that hard.
“Upon Arriving To Help Get My Keys Out Of My Car, The AAA Guy Locked His Keys In His Car And Had To Call AAA”
This guy definitely passed on a very contagious curse.
“Girlfriend Saw A Rainbow Pigeon In London”
Does he come with a little pot of gold???
“So This Happened In Northern Wisconsin”
Winnie The Pooh? Is that you?
“Paddling In The Middle Of Monterey Bay, And This Guy Needed A Break”
Otters can’t hold paddles Brad, how else are they supposed to take a relaxing boat ride?
Buffalo Solider
Am I confused? Yes. But the proof is right there. It’s not like I can fight it guys.
“Photo My Mom Took Today. Deer Slipping On Ice”
So this is what happened to Bambi’s mom.
“My Girlfriend Happened To Catch All 3 Stages In A Ladybugs Life Cycle On A Single Leaf”
Ah yes, the three stages of life: worm, lady bug, and scary sludge thing.

This Car Impossibly Parked On A Balcony…
This person either has some absolutely insane driving skills, or they assembled the car on the balcony because they… well, I don’t know why, but I bet they had a good reason.
My great uncle once built a BBQ in his shed and then realised he couldn’t get it out the door, so cut a hole in the wall the shape of the BBQ and would wheel it through when they were having a BBQ… you’re welcome for that insight into my family, that really happened and the perfectly shaped BBQ hole is still in the shed wall.
“Nobody would have believed me if I said ‘I saw a flying tyrannosaurus on the way home from the company Christmas party’, and not have pictures.”
Yep, you are indeed correct. Also, judging from the colour of the sky in that photo, that must have been a pretty decent party.
