Photos That Are Audible Cries For Help

In this day and age, it's the norm to take pictures of literally everything. We take pictures of our successes and also of our not-so-successful moments. Because of this, the internet is now full of pictures of other people's epic fails that you can look at literally any time to feel better about yourself. Instead of posting pictures to flex on the internet, these people are showing the whole world how vulnerable and silly they can be. Do you think these pictures are actually cries for help?

Time To Order Pizza

This has certainly happened to the best of us, so let's not judge too harshly. But sometimes I wonder if people do this on purpose just to have an excuse to order in.

Some people just aren't meant to be cooks, and that is totally okay. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses. This person probably has lots of other talents. Maybe he's actually really good at baseball or knitting or something like that.

What's Worse Than That?

There is no way that that toilet paper should go near anyone's body, let alone their most precious parts after it has touched the floor of a public bathroom. Oh well, I guess they're going to have to drip dry.

That one square of toilet paper in this guy's hand is going to have to do. Maybe the guy in the stall next to him can pass him some toilet paper under the divider wall.

These guys went ahead and made a bunch of mugs to pull a prank on their fellow coworkers at the office, but since everyone is working from home, they're just stuck with a bunch of mugs with their faces on them.

You have to be aware that pranks have the potential to backfire before you commit to an operation like this. I don't know what they're going to do with all of those mugs now.

There Has Got To Be Another Way

Does no one spend time proofreading things anymore? How did no one look at this and think, "Hmm...that's not the message we are trying to send." Then again, maybe we are the twisted ones for reading it that way.

Could they not have said, "We plan to get half of the homeless people in the UK off the streets by 2025?" That just seems a lot less violent. Nobody gets cut in half that way.

Do you know what you could use in the fastener aisle? A sign that stays fastened. I don't know about you, but I would be wary of buying fasteners from these people!

Maybe this sign needs a fastener to help it stay in place better. There are so many different kinds of fasteners to choose from... tape, glue, buttons, snaps, paper clips, staples... There really is no excuse for this sign to be left hanging like this.

Why would this mom ask for a small tissue though? Don't tissues come in standard sizes? She could have just asked for a tissue to make things a bit simpler for her kid. Well, at least she got this adorable photo out of it.

Are Puzzles Even Fun?

Puzzles are one of those things that people pick up or give as gifts because they seem like such a relaxing and wholesome thing to do, but in reality, they are just, at times, frustrating.

This person found a new way to do puzzles. That looks like a horse, right? We think it's close enough. You don't need to actually click all of the pieces into place. This is how abstract artists do jigsaw puzzles.

It Must Be Raining Pretty Hard

The most ridiculous thing about this is not that there is rain coming in through the ceiling, but that there are people in there just eating their meals like nothing is happening.

Maybe as much rain as there is inside, there is even more rain outside. Although, I would probably still brave the outdoor rain for a minute so I could run to another, dryer building. That roof can't be structurally sound with all of that water coming through it.

At Least He's Committed To Being Clean

Not sure what would make a person think that this was a good idea, but it does take one of every person to make the world go around. When the employee manual said "wash up," I'm sure this isn't what they had in mind.

I don't know if this employee is being extra gross or extra clean. I'm sure that dirtier things have been in that sink. It is a Wendy's after all. Sorry Wendy's, but you know it's true.

Read Faster, Maybe?

To be fair, this person is not eating alone, he's eating with whoever is taking this picture of him to laugh at later. If you ask me, that's the start of a solid friendship.

You also wouldn't see a person reading this book if they actually had people to sit and eat with. It's not that the book isn't working, it's just that he hasn't finished it yet. After he's done he'll have friends all around him.

Happy Birthday To Her

Just in case you were wondering, that is, in fact, one slice of banana with a candle on top. This person went to a fancy restaurant for her birthday and told them she was vegan. This was their special birthday treat for her.

I bet she can't even eat the chocolate sauce on the plate. She probably should have gone to a vegan restaurant if she actually wanted to eat a slice of cake on her birthday.

I'm sure she's very sad that her relationship with the ghost pirate is over. We can only imagine how difficult a time this must be for her, but it does beg the question: is this person OK?

ADVERTISEMENT

I mean, you shouldn't stay in an unhealthy relationship just to maintain the status quo. We're glad she got out of the marriage if it wasn't working for her. Although we can't help but think that this pairing was probably doomed from the start.

It Isn't Bad Advice

At a certain point, you should just listen to your mother's advice, because you never know when she's just going to be dropping some wisdom on you like this. She does always know best.

You might be feeling kind of bad now, but have you tried loading your body with potassium and vitamin D by eating a banana under the warm sun? That's probably all your body really needs at the moment. Have you ever seen a sad monkey out in the wild? I didn't think so.

Do you think that there was some sort of malfunction at the factory and this treat was supposed to have a cone, or does this company make all of their ice cream cones coneless? Either way, this person will probably get an ice cream sandwich next time.

Honestly, how is this even a thing? It feels like getting your degree from a college or university is the new high school diploma. Why don't people pay what someone's experience is worth?!

ADVERTISEMENT

In a lot of places around the world, $15.29 per hour isn't even minimum wage. Why can't this country get it together? What's the point of getting a Master's degree if you're still going to get paid as much as a McDonald's employee?

I mean, I guess the original "got milk" slogan didn't make much sense either and we all went along with that for several years. Why should pianos be any different? On second thought, we totally stand behind this truck (figuratively of course).

I'm sure when this book was created, the idea was not to use it as an alternative, but rather to teach us that biting in general is frowned upon. But, I think we can still count this as a win.

Maybe the book should have been more specific by mentioning that teeth are not for biting humans. You can still use your teeth to bite your food. Don't bite books either, though. Teeth aren't for biting books.

How is this guy even supposed to get his mouth around that thing? It seems like an impossible challenge. He might have to get himself another bagel and separate out some of the turkey salad onto that. There's no way that he can eat all of this in one sitting.

What else is there to do in this situation but to eventually give in? The lady at the shop obviously wasn't going to back down. Maybe in her heart, she really does believe it's green tea.

I don't know why this person had to specify "recently" though. I would want to know if the person I'm talking to had killed someone ever in the recent or distant past. Timing really doesn't make much of a difference.

While Frozen II isn't actually a horror movie, there are some people in the world who would find the idea of sitting through it a very scary thought. To each their own, I suppose.

It does get rather horrifying when your kids insist on watching it for the fifty-fourth time. It's also horrifying when you know every word to every song in the entire movie because of how many times you've heard it playing in the background while you were making your kids cheese omelets that you knew they would refuse to eat. Too real?
