Not every picture out there needs context, but there are plenty that sure could use some. Even just a sentence, or a few words, could help make sense to something kind of confusing .
The pics in this list are no exception to that. They could really use some context. And lucky for us, they came with it. Well, a bit, at least.
“My dog came running into the house carrying this from the backyard. Apparently its a statue of Saint Joseph which people bury to help sell a house faster. Usually depicted with a head.”
I’m sure that, when the previous owners buried that statuette, Saint Joseph had his head. And it probably wouldn’t look as unsettling if it wasn’t covered in dirt.
“The nuggets I got from Micky Ds were neatly stacked instead of the usual.”
This is super weird, and yet I’m not complaining. I guess someone was having a pretty good day at their job (or they were just super bored at the time).
“There’s an arcade in Charles De Gaulle airport.”
An arcade in this day and age is rare enough, but for it to be in an airport seems… really random, actually. But hey, there’s no reason not to have an arcade in an airport, I guess.
“This unopened Coke can left on top of a roof has lost its color due to the sun.”
I wonder how often a person in construction leaves a can of soda or beer in a random spot. I bet it happens to all contractors at least once in their career. Like, it feels like it has to.
“Made a bridge out of only printer paper and Elmer’s glue that can hold 185lbs+.”
Who would’ve thought that a bunch of pieces of paper glued together could be strong enough to hold the weight of a really tall person? Engineering is something else entirely.
“The pharmacy dispensed my meds in Ziplock baggies.”
I can only imagine that the pharmacy ran out of pill bottles. Like, I don’t see any other reason why they’d put pills in little baggies. Well, maybe they assume people still have bottles from previous prescriptions and don’t want to be redundant.
“The amount of crows on these tree branches makes the trees look like they still have leaves on them.”
You mean… those aren’t leaves? Wow, that’s somehow amazing and terrifying. When you think about how many birds are on those branches, it starts to get more than a little unsettling, don’t you think?
“My school had Anything But a Backpack day.”
Well, that sure is something other than a backpack. I bet some people just used tote bags, but this person went all out with the creativity. Hopefully the toy car doesn’t get toppled in the hallways.
“My cousin and I (our grandfathers were brothers) share many mole locations and features.”
It’s so strange to think about how many people in this world you share traits with. Even if you’re a bit more distantly related (like a first cousin once removed), you’re probably going to have a surprising amount in common.
“My puppy enjoying the view, completely unaware she was being watched.”
I wonder if the puppy knows that there’s a deer just a little bit to her left. From the looks of it, the deer isn’t even afraid of that little pup, which is kind of surprising (aren’t deer afraid of everything?).
RELATED STORIES
“My boyfriend forgot to take out a pack of gum from his pocket before putting his pants in the washer and drier. This was the end result.”
From a distance, this wad of washed gum looks a lot like a pretty stone. You could wrap that up in wire and put it on a necklace. Or, you could just throw it out. It’s gum, after all.
“Fell asleep on a chair. I apparently have remarkably level shoulders.”
Yeah, those are some absurdly level shoulders. To the point where it’s kind of unsettling. But definitely more interesting than anything else.
Also, how can anyone fall asleep on a chair like that?
“I made some macaws out of clay.”
These are so cool! If it weren’t for the fact that they’re the size of a finger each, you could almost believe that they’re real macaws. I swear, some people are just so talented.
“My local laundromat uses a photo of a small child to show how big their laundry bags are.”
That’s certainly one way to advertise how big your laundry bags are. But what’s even more wild to think about is the fact that the kid definitely isn’t that size anymore (since kids grow and all).
“My buddy decided this was a great idea.”
I’m not saying you shouldn’t stick a snowmobile onto the roof of your car. But I also think maybe you probably shouldn’t. I won’t comment on whether or not this was a great idea.
“The power was out on my block for hours last night. But I came downstairs to find that this light stayed on. Which is weird, because… that light has NEVER worked.”
I guess whoever installed that light did it so wrong, that it can only work when the other ones don’t. I’m willing to bet it was a DIY project.
“My local coffee shop has free lollipops in their bathroom.”
This seems like an incredibly random place to keep free candy. And to be honest, as fun as it seems in theory, I probably wouldn’t want to put anything that came from a public bathroom into my mouth.
“The Amazon delivery driver covered my package so it wouldn’t get stolen.”
At a glance, that garbage bag looks like it could have anything in it. I’m sure it won’t completely stop porch pirates from taking that risk, but it’ll at least lower the chances of theft by a lot.
“This bow is silver around the edge and red in the middle. It’s the only bow in the package like this.”
It almost looks like a red bow got stuck inside of a silver one. I mean, on the plus side it looks really cool. Too bad bows don’t generally come like this.
“This truck had a Christmas diorama in the back.”
I honestly thought the diorama was behind the truck, and we were just seeing it through both sets of windows. But wow, that’s so cool! Definitely a unique way to decorate your truck for the holidays.
