Nobody likes to stick out like a sore thumb, do they? Well, weirdos might, but I much prefer to blend into the background and be practically invisible! Anxiety is a wonderful thing.
Anyway, my neuroses aside, the people on this list are less than subtle. So, please enjoy these 39 times we were as out of place as a fish out of water!
“When all your mates won a trophy and you just wanna be a part of the moment…”
He should take that plate home with him and get it engraved with his name and something along the lines of, “Most happy to just be a part of the team!”
“Wife saw a raccoon crossing the road this morning. She slowed to let it pass then lost track of it. Here’s where it ended up.”
He looks like he’s about to offer you some advice on engine maintenance right here. Apparently he was fine and she had to “shoo” him out with a broom.
“Found this in the bathroom at work this morning.”
Bizarrely, I knew so many people who had this exact model of pogo stick as a kid…obviously without the plunger on the end!
“I went to a grunge bar in Amsterdam and found this guy just sitting in a rage.”
I mean, I guess that he is in a grunge bar, but it’s still weird seeing such an adorable little cat looking so damn moody!
“Fitting in…”
They’re all giving off such try-hard edgy vibes, and he is just unapologetically happy to be involved! I absolutely love his energy!
Nice try, Mike.”
This could only have been made better if they had put an apple sticker over his face like when he’s on the TV.
“My dog isn’t used to me being home during the day for work and is just staring at me from different places around the house.”
The little tilt of the head is absolutely killing me. You’d think that most dogs would be so pleased to have their owner around during the day, but clearly not this dog!
“Trying to fit in like…”
I used to feel this way a lot of the time when it came to work meetings, just sort of trying my best to blend in… except I’m not as cute as this little fella.
“Kids who completely suck at hide and seek.”
There is no hope for these kids! Well, there might be hope for that kid on the right as a tortoise, but that’s about it.
“Fiance and I are going to Europe. She told me a hundred times to ‘blend in’ and not look American. I completely agree… so I had this shirt made.”
Seamless! I think that they’ll blend in perfectly! I think that the trick is to actually just play the whole thing cool and don’t wear cargo shorts with white socks and sandals, and then you should be fine.
“These butchers have totally lost it.”
I need someone to tell me if this is one of those things that is so weird that it actually works, or if it is just as horrible as it sounds. Otherwise, I’m going to have to make this myself.
“My brother-in-law is a mechanic and sent me this picture today.”
I have so many questions that I know aren’t going to be answered…but, just how did this little fella get into there ?! I need to know!
“Bark Bark… Err, I Mean, Cluck Cluck!”
The person who posted this explained, “Farm where I live had trouble with their flock all wanting to sleep together, each night they have to break them up. The other night they found the dog had joined in.”
“The best place to hide from Animal Control is right under their noses.”
This little kitten is really living life on the edge! Maybe that cat is actually working for Animal Control, and is trying to lure in other unsuspecting cats?
“My trampoline isn’t good at hide and seek.”
It looks like that string really helped keep that trampoline under control! This trampoline clearly wants to be a frisbee, just let it live its true life!
“…Found the spoon honey.”
The thought of just taking a big old bite out of that bread and cracking your teeth down hard onto this metal spoon is making every muscle in my body tense up.
“Someone lost their boob wallet?”
The person who lost this must have been some level of hammered to not notice this having fallen out.
“I found out that our Volkswagen fits in the den. Will see what the wife thinks when she gets home.”
There are much easier ways to watch a movie from your car… Have you not heard of drive-in movie theatres?
“I shall blend in to hide from the crab people.”
I didn’t think that there was anyone else out there who was so pale that they could blind people at thirty paces! It’s nice to know I’m not alone!
“I think the oil change place is hinting that I should clean the junk out of my car.”
That is the most passive-aggressive behavior that I have ever seen in a mechanic, and I know some damn sassy mechanics I’ll have you know!
“Maybe, just MAYBE the teacher won’t notice I lost the cover!”
I think they did a pretty good job! Although, I am wondering why Lady Macbeth has that jazzy hat on?
“In the town that I live in, people paint rocks and hide them for others to find. My son found this one yesterday.”
I wish that my town would do something like this. This is the weirdest yet most appealing community-building activity I have ever seen!
“Nice try salad. I see you hiding there.”
Hmmm, I’m not falling for it. Anyone selling crumbled bacon shouldn’t chicken out and cover the packet in pictures of salad. This is sacrilege!
“I was lost in china, but i saw this extremely helpful sign…”
Thank goodness that they weren’t somewhere else, that would have gotten them into a real philosophical nightmare!
“My sister teaches 5th grade. Nice try, Jackie.”
I think you’ll find that you can. I mean, she just did! This fifth grader is an inspiration to us all!
“Apparently there’s a pig hiding in this picture…”
This pig has clearly gone to the Scooby-Doo school of hiding. Little do you know that there are actually three more pigs hiding behind that tree waiting to poke their heads out.
“He’s Just Looking For A Place To Fit In.”
I resonate a lot with this picture. However, I always saw myself as more of a t-block, and I have absolutely no reason why.
“We have a Blue Football field. It confuses out of towners.”
“But…why am I not floating? Someone please explain this wizardry!” *Furious honking
“‘Bet we can beat you at hide and seek Uncle David!’ Bet you can’t.”
Kids need to know that hide and seek isn’t just some “game.” It’s a demonstration of skills and talents, wits and intelligence. Decidedly not for children.
“My brother replaced a picture of Jesus at my parent’s house with a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi as portrayed by Ewan McGregor. Three months and counting without them noticing.”
In replacing Jesus with him, you really gave him the moral high ground.
“I’ve been sneaking pictures of my dad around the house. This one was my favorite.”
This looks like judgment-lite. “Do you really want to use this lotion? I mean, yeah, go for it, I guess…”
“How about you put me back under.”
Imagine going under for surgery, waking up decades in the future but the only difference is everyone has four eyes. The future is weird, man.
“Photographer Leopold Kanzler worked with this beaver for two weeks hiding apple slices in his camera to get this shot.”
That beaver looks pretty shocked at whatever he’s seeing through the lens. What could be on the other side?
“My roommates and I play a game where we hide a John Cena action figure around the house. He went missing for a week until today.”
Now this is that slow burn type of hiding spot. You felt the anticipation build with each passing day, and had a week to think of the next spot.
“I ran out of wrapping paper and had to improvise. It’s nearly unnoticeable.”
I think this would be better than whatever the actual gift is. It’s a treasure.
“My daughter is also going pro at Hide and Seek.”
It’s a good spot, but the resulting “decapitated head” bathroom decor look isn’t great.
“Is it a little obvious that I don’t ride my bicycle enough?”
This is the bird’s vehicle now, and you are their chauffeur for life. These are the laws of nature, I don’t just make this stuff up!
“My friend tried to take a nice picture at the mall.”
I’d absolutely get this picture printed off and put onto a keyring. Annoying that this couple got in the way, but it’s better than nothing I guess!
“This will be under the carpet in the basement when we move.”
I think the next homeowners might know something’s up when those candles leave big bumps in the carpet, but it’s your call.
