30 People Whose Madness Had A Method...You Just Had To Look Incredibly Close

There are some people whose thought processes simply baffle those around them. Sometimes these insane ideas can be for the greater good and sometimes they can be...well, infuriating!

With this in mind, from people who turned old cars into natural wonders to individuals who tried to make the most of a broken door, here are 30 people whose madness had a method...you just had to look incredibly close.

"Regulators fear the homegrown spa repairman."

This is one of the weirdest and most impressive work arounds that I have ever laid eyes on. It's just so many wires! Good to see they are also getting their gains as well, judging from the random bucket of protein included!

"Couldn't close the door on this deal."

$40 seems like a pretty good price for something like this actually! I mean, I don't know what I would do with it, as I don't know many doors that I would need to ram open, but it's got to be worth buying...right?

"A pea nut butter sandwich."

And yet they just abandoned this delicious-looking sandwich onto a dirty bench after bringing it to life? No one is going to want to eat this now, what a waste of a perfectly good sandwich.

"My daughter when she said she wanted to be a Transformer for Halloween."

I love that she is looking at him with such despair, as though she is thinking, "Okay Dad, it's very funny. Now can I have an actual transformer costume please?!"

"A man is working next to my office. Full social distancing!"

I like where this guy's head is at, he is getting fresh air and he doesn't have to engage with anyone except the local pigeons. Although, he is still managing to look pretty stressed out!

"When teachers cover the clock in their classroom."

I can kind of see the thinking here, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. Kids have a right to know what time it is for God's sake, surely? Did this teacher also forbid the kids from wearing watches?

This Shop Does Not Take Any Prisoners!

I think that a lot of places should just adopt a policy of, "If you think you can do better than our staff then fill out an application form today!" Although, that could also backfire...

"My roommates went away..."

This sounds as though the cats have written it. The use of "Sun time" to describe daylight and "No sun time" to describe nighttime is just downright incredible. Also, the complaints will be there, trust me on that.

"Restaurant toilets forces you to sanitise your hands on the way out."

A lot of people out there tend to leave public bathrooms without washing their hands. This extreme measure will make sure that even the grossest hands get clean. You can run, but you can't hide!

"Someone locked their bike in a way that it blocks the path and it cannot be moved without picking or force."

The main reason behind this one is that the person who did this is a solid-gold prat. What a uniquely prick-ish thing to do.

The Things You Find Yourself Doing...

The parent who posted this eerie image explained:

"My dog ate just the face of my kid's favorite cat toy. She asked me to just sew the cats face hole shut, which would just be so fucking creepy. So, I'm sitting here while she's gone doing a full on stuffy face transplant. Don't have kids."

"Found a tiny greenhouse in the woods."

I wonder why anyone felt the need to leave a micro terrarium outdoors. It's just a bigger version of the terrarium! Unless... someone wanted the bottle to be found. Maybe it's part of some greater mystery.

"These candles melted together and formed Cthulhu."

This has just given me an idea for my next side hustle. Melted candle scraps? Turn them into candle monsters and sell them online for double the original candle price. It's a foolproof business idea!

"My key looks like he was beaten up."

I'm sure the key design was supposed to be cute, but the company clearly didn't think too far ahead. The wear, coupled with the keyring going directly through one of the smiley face's eye, makes the key look a little more upsetting than anything else.

"These ants built a fraternity around this Bud Ice can…"

I don't know why they would choose to build around a Bud Ice can instead of around a proper drink, but that's their choice. Also, if they can lift 20x their own body weight, then I dread to think how much they can drink.

"Getting a tree removed."

This is a picture where the longer you look at it, the worse it gets. Why bother paying top-dollar for a professional to remove a tree when you can get this guy for the price of a pack of cigs.

"Archived the perfect self retaining cable wrap."

Even though this is incredibly satisfying, it's also making me feel bad about my life. Mostly because I would never have the kind of patience you'd need to get my own charging cables wrapped up this nicely.

"Friends 9-year-old nephew was asked to show his work or to describe how he got his answer. His reply: 'I just used my brain,' then he drew this to show his working."

It is pretty telling that he drew the little version of him with a sad face. He either hates math or this is just his concentration frown.

"Grocery store gave these pineapples a haircut."

On the plus side, you probably won't end up accidentally scratching yourself with these pineapples. And yet... something about the lack of leaves is so unnatural. I can't even tell if the trade-off is worth it.

"Tools I have found walking around since the pandemic started…"

Spending 18+ months walking around looking for tools may not be the kind of hobby I'd ever indulge in, but I can appreciate the hustle. This person probably never has to pay for tools again.

"Army Man Buried in the Sidewalk."

Even though the likely story is that this little toy was dropped by some unwitting kid and then stuck underneath the sidewalk after it got paved, I like to think that someone actually put it there on purpose, as some kind of time capsule-type thing.

"I think it's a deal..."

The fact that they put "BITTEN" in all caps here is absolutely hilarious. I mean, what were the odds that no one would notice they were "BITTEN" from the state of the pictures they uploaded?

"Old cars becoming the river bank."

"This happened more than you think. [I] work in restoration ecology, just in my neck of the woods, we've pulled cars out of several sites where they were used as the base of flood walls/stream bank stabilization, etc. Record was 56 cars along a ~1/2 mile stretch of river. Used to create a levy keeping the floodwater out of a crop field. Was there for over 50 years," explained one individual.

"Manager: let's put up $100 signing bonus on both sides."

He fulfilled the brief and got the intended message across. This kind of out-of-the-box thinking should be rewarded! Although, it is more likely to actually get you fired, so good job...I guess.

"This grocery store Jungle Jim's has bathroom doors that look like porta potties but are actually nice bathrooms."

Ah yes, the old bait-and-switch. Get your customers to think they're being forced to use tiny porta potties, only for them to open the door to normal restrooms. That's some evil genius work right there.

"My daughter makes a clothes person to see what her outfits look like for the next day."

In theory, this makes sense. But imagine being this girl's parents and forgetting she does this. It'd be like walking into a crime scene every time you go into her bedroom.

"After a recent earthquake in my city, someone set up an earthquake detection device in my local park."

Is that rock pulling tongues at me? I feel as though it is. Still, it's good that he is keeping an eye on things.

"This is an external battery I found while rummaging through a draw, I think something might have copied it, it reminds me of something."

This is incidentally what happens when you put your PS5 in a boil wash. Sure, it doesn't work as well, but it is incredibly portable!

"I ordered some yarn and as I joke I put 'please draw a dragon and a tortoise breakdancing.' They delivered."

One individual did point out, "That company is now going to receive so many drawing requests, they'll develop mad artistic skills and are going to be sold for millions!"

You Have To Admire Them For Trying!

That is a pretty loose definition of the term "slightly used" that they have right there. I wonder if it did its job and protected the phone it was attached to at the very least!
