The world is full of strange sights. If you happen across something weird, it never hurts to bust out your phone and take a picture, so the people of the internet can gawk at it.
Let’s live vicariously through some folks who’ve spotted something odd .
RELATED STORIES
“All 5’ foot 3” of me wearing an XXXXXXL t-shirt.”
It isn’t every day that you come across a size 6XL garment. When you would normally wear a size small, you almost have to try on the XXXXXXL, just to see what it would feel like.
“Found this rock with odd shaped hole.”
This is either an example of ancient people using modern drilling equipment, or just one of those natural oddities that has a perfectly logical explanation that you couldn’t even begin to guess at.
“My nana has been using the same deck of cards for 10 years and they’ve all grooved to her hand placement during shuffling.”
It’s cool to see how these cards have been worn down over time, but it might be time to get nana a new deck of cards.
“Well I found this in my science textbook.”
At one point in the past, Michael Jackson had this textbook, possibly in a sharing arrangement with his beloved Monkey. We have no further details on this development at the current time.
“These insect eggs look like little smiley faces.”
On one hand, insect eggs, or most insects in general, gross me out. On the other hand, these are so cute that I’m almost not repulsed by where they came from or what they’ll be.
“These colors may have adverse effects in children…”
So these artificial colors add no flavor to the product and might be harmful to kids? It’s almost like they never should have been added in the first place or something.
“While at Aldi today, I saw these hamburger buns that were missing their bag…but the expiration date was stamped right on the buns.”
Setting aside the hilarity of seeing the date stamped on the buns themselves, I want to know what shelf stocker thought it was cool to put naked buns on the shelves.
“The roof of this small chapel collapsed, and instead of rebuilding it normally they made it out of glass.”
As cool as this is in theory, it still looks like an old abandoned chapel. It just screams “I need some bats in here, ASAP!” and I don’t know how to feel about that.
“The total of my two items.”
You know when you’re playing Monopoly and you get the “bank error in your favor” card? It never explains what the error is, just that it’s in your favor. That’s basically what’s going on here: no idea what’s going on, but it’s hard to complain.
“My dog’s back kinda looks like the Air Jordan Jumpman logo.”
In a way, you could say that this dog is limited edition. But I probably wouldn’t try to walk on it or anything. Just sit back and look respectfully.
“This big ol’ knife angel in my town.”
It takes an impressive amount of artistic vision to come up with something like this. At some point, someone thought, “Y’know, if I had a million knives, I could make a convincing angel statue.”
“This guy at a Starbucks reading the paper… from 1963.”
I think someone should check a history book, because it looks like a time traveler just came back from a stint in the 60s. Who know what they could’ve changed, though…
“This pepper looks like it’s challenging me to fisticuffs in 1820.”
Some peppers have a way of attacking your tastebuds and leaving your whole mouth feeling like it’s on fire, so it makes sense that some of them are ornery little jerks.
“My dad still has an unopened bottle of chilled Crystal Pepsi in his fridge.”
Obviously, while most soda is for drinking, some of it is just for show. Why drink a bottle of Crystal Pepsi when you could just leave it in the fridge for years instead?
“Someone put oogly eyes all over the menu at my local Starbucks.”
The execution here is so perfect that it would almost be a shame to take these down. Also, I thought these were universally called “googly” eyes, but I suppose “oogly” works as well.
“A very literal half pint.”
I’m sure whoever manufactured this glass thought they were being clever, but all I can think about is how hard it must be to take a swig out of it without spilling beer all over myself.
“Found Kit Kat Key Lime Pie Limited Edition for 25¢”
If you haven’t been in your local dollar store in awhile, pay them a visit. Those places always tend to have the weirdest, rarest, heavily discounted snack foods for some strange reason.
“My microwave has a help button.”
I’m not really sure why you’d need a help button on your microwave. I guess in case someone accidentally tries to heat up a metal bowl. Because I’d be calling for help in that case, too.
“A 98-year-old 1 dollar bill.”
Just think about how much value this bill has held over the years. A century ago, this would have bought $25 or $30 worth of stuff in 21st century value. Now, you could maybe buy a can of soda with it.
“Found this 1829 silver half-dime in the woods. Nickels weren’t invented yet.”
It’s funny how that half-dime could probably buy you a whole meal 200 years ago, and now it’s basically useless. Sure, it’s silver, but it’s useless silver!
“Amazon sent me 4 copies of The Aristocats. I ordered 0.”
Sometimes, Amazon’s just like that. I remember one time I was surprised to get a massive box containing four pounds of artificial sweetener. That was five years ago, and I think those sacks are in my pantry to this day.
“This ethyl alcohol bottle looks like water bottle.”
I’m trying not to imagine being extremely thirsty, not paying attention to what’s on the label, thinking this is water, and taking a huge swig before realizing that it’s rubbing alcohol. Trying, and failing.
“This gummy bear monstrosity I just pulled out of a fresh bag.”
I want to make a Human Centipede reference here, but these are gummy bears, not humans. This sight might not be as disturbing as the movie, but it’s still distinctly unnerving.
“My rotting pumpkin actually looks old and senile; when I first carved it, it was smiling and had teeth.”
In all honesty, this looks more like that one neighbor that always gets mad that you’ve stepped on his lawn. So, me in about 50 years.
“An elderly customer came in today with a McDonald’s VIP Card.”
I have so many questions here. The card is obviously old, yes, but what does it do? Is it some kind of golden ticket that bestows unlimited McD’s on the holder?
“The size of this bubble in our garlic cheesy bread.”
It’s all fun and games until that cheese bubble pops. Then, it’s still fun and games, but it’s also a lot of cleaning up. The trick is to let the air out slowly.
“Um what.”
I’m very confused by this sign. Like, some drive thrus are cool with walk-up customers, but why can’t cars come through as usual? There’s something sinister going on at this McDonald’s, I’m absolutely certain of it.
“Found amethyst pieces in a new gravel driveway.”
When I was a kid, I’d constantly sift through random piles of gravel and rocks in the hopes of finding something valuable. I guess sometimes this treasure hunting spirit pays off for some folks.
“So there seems to be a wooden casket in my neighbor’s backyard…:”
Unless this person lives next to an undertaker, or maybe The Undertaker, I’m not sure what plausible reason someone might have to just store a casket randomly in their backyard.
“The printer in my office uses little paint balls instead of cartridges.”
I don’t know if this is more efficient than typical inkjet or laserjet printing, but I don’t really care. There’s something about seeing these little paintballs that’s just downright delightful.
