“When You See It” Pictures That Will Shake You To Your Core
Life is full of surprises—that's why "when you see it" pictures exist so we can learn to expect the unexpected. I, for one, do not like it when I'm out and about and take a photo, only to realize there's some kind of creepy face in the background. It's fine when that happens to other people though.
Here are a bunch of instances when people snapped some photos of stuff that just felt wrong and we've really got to squint to see them. Thanks to these people I've started triple-checking every photo I've ever taken.
He's Not Going Bite, He Just May Stalk You
Listen, beware of this dog because it's a grade-A stalker and will severely creep you out if you're not aware. It's got your Facebook open as you approach the house and is checking your home Snapchat maps to keep tabs on you forever.
Interesting Way To Play Basketball
So we can see a foot but... where are this kid's legs? He's out here dunking on his teammates without knees, shins, or thighs and it's equally as iconic and it is confusing.
The Small Ghost Rider
Don't you hate it when you accidentally recreate the legendary Nicholas Cage movie Ghost Rider, but instead of a bike haunted by a flaming skeleton it's a child? No? Well, these two people might.
Spot The Irish Sunbather. No, The Other One
This girl looks how we all feel at the beginning of summer after we've been holed up inside all winter. We're so pale we feel like a slice of white bread trying and failing to get toasted.
Just Ed Sheeran(s) In Some Lovely Fall Scenery
Whoever made this either loves Ed Sheeran or really wants him to have an awful day. I'm sorry if this photo bothers him, but personally, it's my favorite photo of this beautiful fall season we're having.
This Is Why We Should Ban Costumed People
They couldn't have put some mesh over this so we wouldn't be subjected to this nightmare? I think we've discovered the origin of why some kids are so afraid of mascots.
They Tell Us Not To Eat Tide Pods And Then They Do This
Spot your favorite snack in the vending machine. Even though the news warned us a bunch of times that we shouldn't be eating these, somehow subliminally we're still being asked to. Stay strong out there.
Casual Children's Book Hidden Message
I'm genuinely curious how no editor caught this. This is one is glaringly obvious evidence that the illustrator is going through some stuff. This is literally the definition of "making your pain your art."
This Fur Carpet Just Woofed At Me
This one isn't that hard to spot, but aren't you glad that's the case? This sweet camouflaged doggo is doing the most in the hide and seek department and we couldn't be more proud of it. Sweet dreams little carpet dweller.
This Regular Old Field Of Wheat
I would love to be the farmer who's dog blends in so well to their crops. Every time I go to do some work I'd get this awesome surprise and honestly, it'd get me through the day.
Next In Line?
This ominous man needs to rethink being in the background of photos when he's not wearing a shirt because this mirror crop is unfortunate. Dear God I hope he's wearing pants, especially if he's next in the hug line.
The Guy With A Need For Speed
This man is the definition of "riding dirty" because he's got the need for speed and the wheels to back it up. Several wheels in fact, and maybe some knee pads in the back.
Remind Me Never To Take Photos With My Friends
I don't even want to know how he got his face there without them noticing. He looks like the sleep paralysis demon in my nightmares and I'm trying not to think that he coordinated his skin to match the shirt but honestly... this creep wizard could've done just that.
Might've Blown A Little More Than Snow
Looks like this guy picked up a small white walker this morning in the process of snow-blowing his driveway. Don't worry dude, I'm sure since Game of Thrones is done filming Jon Snow has plenty of time to help you deal with that.
The Counter Top That Was More Than It Seemed
This cat is cooking up some real juicy scares up in the kitchen. I stared at this picture for five minutes before I even realized there was a cat on the counter. If this cat ever wanted to be employed, it could make some serious coin sneaking vegetables into foods to get kids to eat them.
Just A Day Down By The Water, Maybe We'll Stop By The ER Later
This couple's photo is a hard pass from me. I'm not sure how these two didn't realize there was a massive snake just inches from them, but I'm glad they didn't because otherwise, somebody would've fallen in the lake.
The Real Reason Autumn Is Also Spooky Season
This kid could make some serious coin as a haunted house worker if this whole playing-in-the-leaves schtick falls through. I'm equal parts terrified and put into the fall mood by this photo, so well done, kiddo.
Just Keep Staring, I Promise You'll See It
This one is an endurance test harder than the run these people just went one. Just stare closely and remember that they're beside a dog park. That's all the hints I'll give you.
There's No Curb Appeal Here
Imagine driving by this and just seeing this insane excuse for curtains. This person really wanted to lower the value of the neighborhood right down to the ground and honestly, it's a major mood.
An Excellent Reason To Lock Your Storage Units
If I saw this ghost-man up in my storage container I would burn the building right to the ground. I wouldn't even care if my stuff got ruined because this is a serious case of the spooky and I wouldn't trust anything anymore.
This Kid Graduated With Full Marks In Gangster Attitude
Imagine taking your class photo like this and bringing it home to show your mom. I hope for this kid's sake that his mom, teacher, or principal didn't notice this because if they did... RIP little gangster man.
Messy Basement Nightmare Edition
If my parents asked me to go down and clean the basement and I saw this I would walk right back upstairs and move out of town. This photo is the reason why nobody likes the basement in their house and I stand by that.
This Unfortunate Illusion
This poor mom is only trying to have a nice and pleasant day out with her child at the park, only to have it ruined by an unfortunate backpack strap. This photo gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "mom on the go."
That's One Way To Buy It
I don't know what this guy's life story is or who hurt him badly enough to make him put this much of a chokehold on this hotdog, but he needs to get some help. Dude, you have to heal from whatever happened.
Find The Kitty
I honestly bet you can't in under five minutes. I'll give you a hint though, look at the top of the middle stack. I promise this kitty is well worth the hunt too. It's just so peaceful and cute.
The Cat Who Liked To Redecorate
This Redditor posted that this photo was the result of them "searching my small apartment for my cat.... Finally found him 30 minutes later." This looks like a prime nap spot, but I'm sure the couch didn't appreciate it.
The Reason Why The Plants Seem So Alive These Days
This little kitty is incredibly inspiring to me because it's the level of creep I want to be in my friends' lives. I want to know everything, see everything, and be a nature goddess while doing it. I promise I won't make the plants move either.
Just A Nice Wholesome Day At The Park
Public parks: they're beautiful, they're calming, and they're a great way to connect with neighbors. Except, maybe this guy should wait a minute or two before trying to talk to that kid and his mom. They look busy.
Merry Christmas, Don't Walk Over There
Well, this dog didn't technically ruin the holidays for these people but it did make them more interesting. I really, really hope this photo ended up on the Christmas card.
This Totally Normal Parking Lot
Yet another reason why we should never go near vans. If you own a van and you're not using it for... this, I would suggest you sell that thing because you're making everyone uncomfortable. Just get an SUV like the rest of America. They've got great mileage and trunk space.
Waiting In The Weeds
As far as Halloween costumes go, these men all look great but the real winner is the hidden figure that's lurking in the bushes. You didn't even notice him there, did you?
The Moment To Strike Is Upon Us
You think you brought home a nice bouquet of flowers to decorate the living room with. What you didn't realize, though, is that you actually brought home a new obstacle for your cat to tackle.
Someone Is Feeling A Little Handsy
As a parent, you're always going to feel like you don't have enough time in the day or enough hands to juggle everything you need to do, but this man doesn't seem to have that problem.
The Demon Dresser
If this piano dresser is going to reveal to parents that their precious daughter is actually a two-faced demon, they're probably not going to want to buy it. Interesting marketing tactic.
Role Reversal
There's a lot to unpack in this photo, and we don't know where to start. Brisa is over here living the life of luxury that she deserves, whereas that little girl got the short end of the leash in this situation.
What're You Looking At, Kid?
Do you ever get that feeling that someone is watching you, even when you're sure they're not? That's what this student had, but it turns out someone was watching him, it just wasn't a student.
Always At The Ready
People pull this trick all the time in public, trying to act like they're taking a photo of themselves when really they're trying to snap a photo of the celebrity behind them. Jake Gyllenhaal is no rookie, though, he was ready for this moment.
Everybody, Act Natural!
If you're not going to smile for the family photo, you're going to be sat upon for it. Everyone is still in the photo, but it's clear who is at the bottom of the totem pole in this family.
One Last Cry For Help
He'll make a great husband and dad if he's already cracking these types of jokes. Imagine the dad jokes that will come from a man who writes a secret message on his shoes at his own wedding.
They're On A Time Out
Either they were put in there while the grownups were trying to take a photo, or they managed to lock themselves in there. Either way, no one seems to be too upset about it.
