Millions of people swear by the ritual of morning caffeine consumption to start their day, including yours truly. Whether you go for the traditional coffee, take it lighter with some tea, or go even harder with energy drinks, we all desire something that gets us going.
The people in this list, though, didn’t need their daily dose for once. They stumbled upon things so shocking, so confusing , that they woke up all on their own.

“Housekeeping staff found an owl in the room of a guest that checked-out yesterday.”
If you’re wondering, no, the hotel staff never saw the guest bring an owl in or out of the building. So, either he has a pet owl that he’s trained to fly in through windows but forgot to let him back out, or he’s a shapeshifter who got stuck and needs you to save him.
“I saw this wrecked Barbie Escalade and the next day the Sheriff’s Office put up a radar speed warning.”
What better place to remind people about the speed limit than right next to a site that shows the dangers of not obeying said limit! It’s a scare tactic, sure, but an effective one. No one wants their car to end up like that.
“Just a cow. Its name is Bertha.”
I was looking at Bertha for a long time before I realized just what was going on, but it was hard, as the initial impression is…difficult to look at.
Its ear is just flicked forward, covering the side of its face. That’s all. Phew.
“The amount of crows on these tree branches makes the trees look like they still have leaves on them.”
Whoa! This is pretty spooky. I can imagine walking closer to them assuming it’s just a tree with leaves, only to have a heart-attack-inducing moment when all the ‘leaves’ fly off of the tree en masse right before your very eyes.
“I woke up this morning to find our climbing ivy had grown through the exterior wall of our house.”
That’s not a good sign, and it’s already clear that you’re too late. The vines have found a way in. No matter how you try to trim them back, they’ll crawl back in, faster each time, until you come home one day to a room lined with them. It’ll look pretty cool, at least.
“I was looking forward to this fortune, and I got…”
There’s nothing wrong with being told that beef is in your future. Sure, it’s not life-changing or awe-inspiring like you hope fortune cookies will be, but it shows you’ll get a yummy dinner in the next few days, which is nice!
“This empty microwave.”
It does look like a hollowed-out frame of a microwave until you realize it’s just a reflective surface. A really good one, too. You can check your hair and makeup while you heat up some pizza pockets, making sure you look nice before having lunch.
“Levitating hand.”
A levitating hand with a laptop, that’s a productive businesswoman on the go! Believe it or not, floating isn’t too much faster than walking, and she can get stuck in foot traffic too. By now, though, she can navigate these stations easily, she’s always on the move.
“A full size baby human.”
She’s really out here taking being baby-faced to a whole new level. She hit a huge growth spurt really, really early on, but her head never got the memo, so she’s a little disproportioned now and people get confused when they see her in a stroller.
“Staircase to nowhere.”
Sometimes, I think places install features like this just to keep people on their toes. You can’t ever get too comfortable, you must stay vigilant. You never know when you’ll come across a staircase to nowhere and need to adjust accodringly.
“Day 4 into sunburn recovery, my t-shirt got stuck to my back…”
I looked between the photo and the title a few times before it clicked in my head what exactly happened here, but once it did, the cringe I did was so visceral and genuine. This is simply horrific to think about, thank you.
“These pics my aunt took of a sunrise at her office building make my head hurt.”
Rationally, I know that this effect is simply the window reflecting what’s behind your aunt, but the inside and outside portions of the photo blend so seamlessly, that I thought for sure she was breaking through one of our dimensional walls.
“[The] camouflage on this copperhead snake I found in north [Texas].”
I was wholly convinced there wasn’t actually a snake in this image and I was being lied to on the internet, but once you see it, it’s impossible to miss.
Here’s a hint, look along the left side of that mushroom log.
“My kid tore a page in his book and created a monster.”
The purple cat’s gaze causes the blue horse to morph into a green frog out of fear, but the cat leaves too quickly and now the blue horse is stuck as this abomination. Both hooved and webbed, amphibian and mammal all at once.
“Found this levitating shopping cart.”
You’re just going to focus on the one levitating and not the one that looks like it’s stuck inside of the wall? This entire street corner is rife with glitches and visual bugs, but hopefully they’ll be patched out soon.
Lights out.
The almost eerie story behind this photo was told in the original title, which read, “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 since we’ve moved into this old-ass house with its old-ass wiring, that light has NEVER worked.”
“Guy with a giant backpack.”
So…is everyone just going to stand there like nothing’s out of the ordinary? Are backpacks this large actually common somewhere in the world?
I’m now fantasizing about packing for a trip using only that backpack and checking it in as luggage at an airport. Watching it come through the carousel would be too funny.
“Can’t believe I cleared part of the dish rack before I even noticed.”
They went on to add, “OK, I’d just got up and was waiting for coffee. But still…”
Snakes are only getting smarter and evolving further. Not only can they camouflage themselves in the wilderness, but right inside our own homes too! He’s matching stainless steel grey and burnt auburn wall orange perfectly!
“A reserved table in a McDonald’s.”
You can do this? Do you need to actually call them, or can you just come in and drop your own reserved sign on the table to claim it as your own? Who are the types of people who would reserve a table at McDonald’s? I have so many questions.
“Oh my god my Roomie bought this knockoff Garfield plush off Amazon, and it came like this.”
I think you’ll all be delighted to know that in the replies to this tweet, the original poster shared what they plan to do with this. “We’ve decided that we’re going to keep it sealed, and put it in a nice shadow box, because you should always frame art when you can!”
