Have you ever walked away from something with far more questions than you had going in? Or, maybe you were even trying to do some research , look into something you didn’t understand, but you’re provided no answers and again are left with more questions ?
That’s what happened to the people featured in this list, who encountered things that would have had cartoon question marks floating around their heads were this not real life.
RELATED STORIES
“Wedding dress shop near my house […].”
They somehow found one of the worst things anyone could say on the day of a wedding in any context and made it the name of their bridal store. They really phoned it in.
“The property management company that run my block of flats [has] a different definition of security it seems.”
Their definition of security had horse blinders on. If they can’t see a way directly through the door, then surely there’s no way on earth anyone could evade their top-notch safety protocols!
“They took ‘open space’ a little too far on this one.”
I like fancy open-concept floorplans as much as anyone else, but there are times when a little room surrounded by four walls is what we need. Even living alone, I would not be able to mentally handle this.
“These lid stickers at the coffee shop where I work.”
You’d think the world tilting on an axis so much that Africa is now in the North Pole would make some news, but maybe people didn’t notice. Forget the fact that there’s constant snow in Algeria now.
“[The] elevator arrows at my uni point in the same direction.”
You’re either going up, or you’re going up. You don’t get a say in the matter. I don’t care if your friends are waiting for you in the downstairs lobby so you can go out, you’re going up.
“I don’t think bowling balls are meant to have 6 holes…”
Forget six, put holes all over, let people grab it in whatever way they want and let the aerodynamics on that baby go wild as it rolls down the lane.
Alternatively, no holes. We’re bowling with two hands now.
“Play safe, kids!”
You have to have a lot of trust in your local children in order to set this up. Surely they’ll only swing one at a time, or only swing in the same rhythm to avoid hitting one another, right?
“It was so hard to enjoy this restaurant after I made the mistake of looking up.”
This is the type of sight that could sour a whole evening. Restaurant owners, remember, it’s not just about the floor or the service, it’s about the ambiance , ambiance that’s ruined by your Jackson Pollock-esque attempt at lighting.
“Worst banister I have ever seen.”
The uploader went on to say, “Someone actually recently bought this house specifically for this stairwell. When I pointed out that it was utterly horrible they got upset.”
The banister not only exists but was a selling point? Are they seeing something I’m not?
“The spoke-&-wheel design of my parents’ new clock makes it almost impossible to read.”
I didn’t quite get this immediately with my first thought being, “But you can still read the numbers just fine!” The hands. It’s the hands you can’t see, meaning you can’t tell the time, rendering it useless. I understand now.
“Contradicts the whole point of the movie…”
“Remember all those puppies that were saved in this most beloved film about adversity and the power of family or something? Well, here’s an object made out of their fur anyway, in case you were rooting for Cruella.”
“[Exclusive SUV] parking.”
Something tells me that those rugged off-road vehicles that could handle such extreme terrain won’t be in whatever metropolitan underground parking lot this is anyway. At least it provides some free fun for local skateboarders.
“Simplicity.”
The obvious irony here is that, for something that says “Simplicity”, this isn’t simple at all, but I’m more frustrated at their attempt to throw the word “Love” in there too. Get it out, there’s no love in this sign.
“I was worried it wasn’t actually locked.”
This is very, “One of us only tells the truth, and the other only tells lies,” of this bathroom. All you can do now is trust you made the right choice and hope no one reaches for that doorknob while you’re still in there.
“So close to making sense.”
It’s confusing regardless, but it didn’t help that I originally read those bubbles as o’s. Like, “I love it when ooo you put tip the in.” They had a quick singing break in the middle of their nonsense sentence.
“This pedestrian sidewalk.”
Wrong. That’s a tree sidewalk. You can tell because you can’t walk ten feet without approximately five-sixth’s of said sidewalk being taken up by a tree.
“Carpet design looks like someone puked on it.”
To me, it looks more like hot, molten asphalt that just got poured incredibly poorly. Neither are great to have in your home, let alone to walk on, so we agree there at least.
“What are they even saying?”
Who knows anymore. Every type of city branding has been done to death, so this place is just grasping at straws here. “What if we say they can live and work here! At all different times of existence!”
“Yes, That’s Where I Charge My Phone.”
Considering the height and the apparent lack of a barrier like a shower curtain between the shower and the outlet, that’s pretty brave. I’d be keeping all electronics at least 30 feet away with a case over that outlet.
“[Who] let this monstrosity happen?”
What really confuses me here is that it’s not even advertising any clothes. It couldn’t even if it wanted to, no human being is built like that. Also, the mannequins next to it don’t have any pants on? What is this store?
