The human mind is always trying to give everything a reason or a purpose. There must be some significance to every decision ever made, nothing happens by chance or just because someone felt like it.
The images in this list challenge that line of thought, providing us with photos that, while pretty funny, leave us at a total loss for an explanation.
RELATED STORIES
“My neighbor just put this sign up in front of his home.”
I feel bad for him. If he needed to put up a sign, it’s happened enough that he considers it a problem. Though, given the state of those who usually pee on peoples houses, there’s no guarantee they’ll be in any state where they’re able to read a sign anyway.
“A very literal half pint.”
Very funny idea, probably a huge hit at bars and such that carry them, but it looks like a nightmare to drink out of and hold. You’d have to double fist that thing to get any kind of solid grip on it.
“The road buckled.”
This effect makes the yield warning look not very sure of itself, like it’s really nervous. Be confident, tell those cars to yield, they’ll listen to you! Well, sometimes, but more if you straight up and really demand it!
“My microwave has a help button.”
I’ve spent a few minutes trying to think of what microwave-related event could occur where you’d need to get help immediately. Did your leftovers stay cold in the middle but you don’t want to put them back in? Did a pizza pocket explode? Burn your fingertips on a hot plate?
“My friends and I were hanging out the other day and we saw this-.”
Huh. I can’t tell whether or not to be more confused about the objects stuck to the wall, or question how they got stuck there in the first place. That plastic fork didn’t manage to pierce brick, did it? Did they glue the cookie on? What’s happening here?
“My grandma uses 152mm naval cannon shell as a plant stand.”
Talk about recycling, this sure is a creative way to use something that would otherwise just stand in a corner. Makes it look a lot prettier too, and the shell is inconspicuous enough that no one would know what it was unless they asked. Really cool!
“[CVS] never ceases to amaze me. Same trip, both only 1 item each receipt.”
At this point, CVS has to have the technology needed to shorten their receipts. There’s no reason for them to be this long anymore. You have to wonder if they keep it this way on purpose. After all, it is free advertising.
“I found a keyhole in a brick wall.”
The comments were providing realistic answers for this, like an electrical switch or a garage door override, but where’s the fun in those answers?
What if this unlocks a secret drawer hidden behind a brick, or it opens a trap door beneath your feet? That’d be way more exciting.
“The headrests in the gents toilets at this pub (The White Hodse Inn, Stourpaine).”
This is how you can tell that a pub really, really knows its audience. Not only that, but they want to honor that audience.
Though some people claimed this is gross, one comment said it perfectly, “If you’re drunk enough to need them, then you’re drunk enough to not care how clean they are.”
“Smallest blinds I’ve ever seen.”
The smallest, but perhaps the most necessary and effective blinds ever made. Sure, there’s something to be said about blocking out the sun or keeping the privacy in your bedroom, but these blinds protect you from prying eyes and ever-present workplace distractions, which are far worse.
“A stress booth to ‘shout out stress’ at the bus station I’m waiting at.”
If someone has so much pent-up anger that they feel the need to let it out here, something tells me they’ll want to do more than just scream. Just fund a full-sized rage room, let people go in and smash some plates for a few minutes.
“Deer ate the mouth of our jack-o-lantern.”
He wanted in on the Halloween festivities! He’s not quite dextrous enough for carving, what with the hooves and all, but he had an artistic vision and set out to make it a reality. He did pretty well, really added some emotion here!
“In Germany there are sausage vending machines.”
Something about buying real, meal-worthy food from a vending machine as opposed to just snacks and drinks is almost off-putting to me, sort of uncanny. It makes me question the quality of these sausages. I’ll just buy them from a store, thanks.
“Someone put a googly eye on this goose.”
They helped this depiction of a goose become more accurate, as they tend to look this crazed all the time. They’ll chase you down if you feed them then try to walk away, they won’t stop until they’ve eaten every last crumb off of you.
“Stuck in traffic, saw a skull on the highway.”
That’s a little ominous, isn’t it? What could it be warning you about? Perhaps that you’ll be in that bout of traffic for so long you’ll whither away to bones, or maybe it’s the cause of the traffic itself, everyone stopping to see. Either way, not great!
“My dirty sock looks like a man with a thick Boston accent, shouting at traffic from the sidewalk.”
“‘Ey! What do you think yer doin’ over there, huh? You what, drop me on the floor and fuhget about me just like that? Maybe I wanted to go into tha laundry basket with tha rest of my pals. That’s right, come pick me up, that’s what I thought.”
“This stick-figure has a butt.”
They had to make sure people knew that this emergency exit wasn’t only for those who find themselves rather flat back there, it was for people of all posterior sizes, no exclusionary policies when it comes to escaping an emergency.
“My glasses came with instructions.”
If they’re going to include instructions, they should be more specific. I’m ashamed to admit I’ve poked myself in the eye with my own glasses more than anyone should in their entire life, so maybe add ‘extend arms fully’ before ‘apply to face’, just to be sure.
“My Friend Was Showing Me How To Fix Something In a Car, and When We Opened The Hood of His Car, We Found a Donut.”
Some poor squirrel pulled off the heist of a lifetime, just for some rude human to drive away with his haul. That donut was going to get him through the winter with leftovers to spare, and you had it removed! For shame!
“This guy at a Starbucks reading the paper… from 1963.”
Everyone in the comments was jumping to the time traveler explanation, saying he’s just catching up on news he’s missed out on, but that doesn’t explain how he got this newspaper in the modern day. Did he make a pitstop in every year and pick up a paper to read later?
