50+ Things That Were Caught On Camera That Were A Little Odd
Have you ever felt like “If only I had a camera right now…”? The photographers were unquestionably in the right place at the right time when they took these photos. On the other hand, let’s just say that everyone who was photographed felt they were in the wrong place at the wrong time in the scenarios captured in these pictures. It’s difficult to believe some photos aren’t staged because they are so perfectly imperfect. Let us assure you that none of these photos were staged, and they are some of the internet’s most awkward failures the internet has seen in a long time…
Home Run
Sports are a great way to bond with your kids. Baseball is a popular sport in nearly every family. Getting them outside, cheering them on, and watching them run from first to second base all fill almost every parent with pride. Except for this one.
Home Run
Aside from the broken camera lens, there was most likely also a black eye as a result of this. In any case, this kid has a bright future ahead of him. When we see an MVP, we know it.
Caught in the Act
In this situation, we’d give anything to be a fly on the wall. With his wife spying on him like this, we can only imagine what this guy is looking at or who he’s talking to.
Caught in the Act
It almost appears as if their dog is urging him to look behind him, but he is so engrossed in his screen that he doesn’t notice. We can’t help but wonder if she confronted him after the photo was taken.
Scoot Along
This is what we refer to as making an impression. This is how we imagine things transpired: Danny was overjoyed to see the sun shining after a long winter, and he asked his mother if he could finally ride the scooter he had received for Christmas.
Scoot Along
She agreed, but only on the condition that he promised to ride on the sidewalk. He said, “Of course,” grabbed his helmet, and ran outside, being the good kid that he is. Then something unexpected happened. Danny rode his scooter for the first and last time that day.
Overboard!
This failure appears to be from the future. It appears that clones have overthrown their creator and thrown him into a lake. This photo was perfectly timed a split second before he hit the water, making it the perfect fail photo.
Overboard!
Is it possible that it was a bachelor party gone awry? There are a plethora of possible explanations for this picture, and we want to know the truth. Is it too much to hope for?
Bai Chay Bridge is Falling Down
We can’t stop singing, “Bai Chay Bridge is falling down,” since seeing this photo. If we’ve ever seen a fail, this is it. This cargo ship, it appears, was far out at sea when these containers met their demise.
Bai Chay Bridge is Falling Down
We’re hoping the contents of these containers weren’t too valuable. We have a feeling this photo will be used as inspiration for a Titanic sequel if one is ever made.
Elmer’s Milk
A sticky situation is what we call it. Our parents make inexcusable errors as they grow older. Some of them are forgivable, while others, like this one, are ludicrous. Imagine taking milk from the fridge, pouring it into your morning coffee, only to discover it was glue!
Elmer’s Milk
We can’t say we blame this guy’s mother; after all, this massive tub of glue resembles milk. Just one question: didn’t the fact that the milk wasn’t in the store’s fridge raise any red flags for you?
Winter is Coming
We’re guessing this guy didn’t expect to come back to this when he opened his window for some fresh air. We’re getting cold just looking at this picture! In all honesty, it’s a lovely picture.
Winter is Coming
It’s difficult to look at without being reminded of this poor car owner. It’s also difficult not to wonder how long it took them to defrost their vehicle – and how they did it.
Wake-Up Call
Our lives have been made significantly easier thanks to cellphones. Everything is right at our fingertips. We use calendar apps to sync our schedules, navigation apps instead of maps, and almost everyone we love and care about is just a text message away.
Wake-Up Call
Diego is loved by many people; however, the synchronized schedule is debatable. Diego had studied for this final for hours only to discover that he had slept in on the day of the exam. We hope you got a chance to take your final, Diego, wherever you are, and that you passed!
Cat’s Out of The Bag
The most amazing aspect of this photo is how this furry friend managed to get onto this shelf without knocking anything over. The only issue now is removing myself from the shelf without breaking anything!
Cat’s Out of The Bag
The owner appears concerned about the cat tipping these bottles over, which we can understand. This poor kitty appears to be frustrated. He is looking for someone to let him down!
About as Exotic as it Gets
Imagine an exotic salad full of brightly colored vegetables that are difficult to come by. It sounds delectable. Now open your eyes and see Checkers’ interpretation of a “exotic salad.”
About as Exotic as it Gets
Baby carrots and peas, we’re not kidding. We won’t lie: the only thing about this salad that seems exotic is that it was made at sea point – whatever that means.
Let it…Oh No
It’s amazing how one minute you’re walking around in the snow, minding your own business, and the next you’re in a panic. Then a big snowball is shoved in your face the next minute. You’re confused as to where it came from.
Let it…Oh No
Who would have dared to throw all of that snow in your face without your permission? Then you turn around, and you’ve finally figured out who committed this heinous crime. It was his mother, ladies and gentlemen.
What Goes Up…
Why do we like it when we see someone doing cool stunts on a bicycle? If the stunt performer in question failed to successfully land with his bike, only the most sadistic individuals would enjoy it. Consider this individual.
What Goes Up…
He must’ve landed awkwardly after this photo was taken, because he looks like he did. First and foremost, we wish him well. Second, we hope he didn’t break any bones in the process. His chances, however, were bleak.
I Swear it’s Not Me
Have you ever found yourself standing next to a poster and realizing you look exactly like the person on the poster? So, this guy is a carbon copy of the “criminal” who is being apprehended.
I Swear it’s Not Me
However, the long hair and beard are enough to make a strong comparison. This guy ended up standing right next to this poster at a bus stop, which is pretty bizarre. A Kodak moment can strike in the most unexpected of places.
No Time to Dodge
When playing dodgeball, it’s probably not a good idea to stop and pose for the camera in the middle of the game. That’s what happened to this young lady, who we assume was bored out of her mind.
No Time to Dodge
Either that, or someone offered to take a picture of her. Maybe it was a double act, with the photographer luring her away so that someone else could smack her in the face with the ball.
Bye Bye Groceries
Have you ever been walking down the street on your way home from the grocery store and noticed that all of your groceries are slowly falling out from the bottom?
Bye Bye Groceries
We’re not sure which is worse: if this occurs on the sidewalk or while ascending the stairwell to your apartment. Next time, put the groceries in a different bag. It usually prevents such occurrences.
Minnie Mouse
At first glance, it appears that someone dressed as Minnie Mouse took a break, either because the costume was a little too hot or because this person needed a drink of water. However, after a while, you’ll realize this isn’t a costume.
Minnie Mouse
Rather, a small child is curled up on the lap of their mother. Naturally, mommy dearest is stuck holding the ridiculously large Minnie Mouse balloon while her child takes a nap.
Fashion Statement
People, don’t be alarmed! We know it looks like a tree is growing out of this woman’s head, and while that sounds terrifying, don’t be alarmed! This, my friends, is what we refer to as “perfect timing.”
Fashion Statement
Whoever took this photo has clearly mastered the art of capturing the perfect moment. Of course, the fact that this lady’s fashion sense is already extremely eccentric helps to make the entire tree scenario more believable.
Having a Splashing Time
It’s one thing to get wet on purpose. However, walking around and suddenly becoming completely drenched from head to toe is not a pleasant experience. You’re posing in front of a beautiful body of water and then this…
Having a Splashing Time
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a massive wave crashes into you, causing a massive splash of water to cover your entire body. This young lady had no idea what was going to happen.
Is This a Mirror?
It’s never fun to wear the same outfit as another person. It’s always awkward, whether it’s with someone you work with or with someone sitting across the train from you.
Is This a Mirror?
This guy, on the other hand, saw the irony in the situation and decided to photograph both his legs and the person sitting across from him. He shared it to the entire world, and shortly after, the other person did the same.
U.F.O. – “Umbrella Flew Off” the Stick
While walking in the rain, someone noticed something in the sky that looked like a UFO from a movie. He thought aliens had arrived to conquer our planet at first.
U.F.O. – “Umbrella Flew Off” the Stick
Then he realized something as raindrops began to fall on his head: he was holding an umbrella. He’s now just holding the stick, while the actual umbrella has flown away and is being carried by strong winds.
The Longest Line Ever
Shopping is always enjoyable; however, waiting in line to purchase the items we desire is a chore, so whenever we see a short line, we rush to join it. You know you’ve struck gold when there are only two people ahead of you.
The Longest Line Ever
When those people aren’t real, what happens? We’re curious as to how long it took this lady to realize she was in line with mannequins. We’re guessing it took a while because she looks upset…
A Dedicated Son
It is something we all strive for: to show our parents how much they mean to us. Some people send flowers to their mothers, while others treat their mothers to a fancy meal. Then there are those who go above and beyond to show their appreciation and love by getting a tattoo.
A Dedicated Son
We know this guy had good intentions, but he made the biggest mistake of his life with this one. We believe that if there had been only one typo, this could have been salvaged – but two? Isn’t it possible that he should ask his mother for some spelling lessons?
Not Who I Thought You Were
Haven’t we all had flings with people we met at parties? “She was pale white, and her skin was so soft it almost didn’t feel real – um, come to think of it, she may not have been real?” we can imagine this guy telling his friends about the perfect girl he just met.
Not Who I Thought You Were
According to the expression on the face of this girl’s friend, they were all having a good time with this situation – who knows, he might have met the love of his life?
Kiss Cam?
It can be awkward to be on the kiss cam if you don’t have anyone to kiss – or if the person sitting next to you isn’t interested in kissing. Which of these scenarios would you choose if you had to?
Kiss Cam?
Who wants to be publicly friend-zoned like that? The photo at the top screams awkwardness. Even so, when we look at the bottom photo, our hearts can’t stop breaking – we don’t even need an explanation; his face says it all.
Caution! Friend Zone
On this wall, there appears to be a street sign for everything; perhaps they should include “Caution! Friend Zone Ahead.” It doesn’t get much more awkward than the expression on this guy’s face.
Caution! Friend Zone
He’s lifting her up to kiss a guy who looks exactly like him, save for the fact that he’s tall enough to be a professional basketball player. Regardless of where you are, bud, the right girl for you is out there, waiting to be lifted by her best guy friend and kissed!
Life is a Wave
When you’re the only one walking towards something that everyone else is fleeing from, you’re in an awkward situation. We’re not sure how this person managed to miss the massive wave coming straight at them, but they appear unbothered about what’s about to happen.
Life is a Wave
Whatever brave person you are, we admire your apathy and hope that you had a towel on hand because there is no way this is going to end well for you.
Front Row Action
Sitting in the front row of a game allows you to feel like you’re a part of the action on the court. We’re guessing this isn’t the type of action these fans expected when they purchased their tickets.
Front Row Action
At this match, these three team supporters were treated to a mouthful of excitement (and pain). We’re confident that the next time they go to a basketball game, they’ll reconsider purchasing front-row seats.
A Real Tip
It’s common for servers to believe that flirting with customers will result in a larger tip. Even so, this woman proved that sometimes it is necessary to do the inverse.
A Real Tip
Whenever the person who served this table realized that they were not going to be receiving a tip from their customers, they served themselves. And it was for a good reason as well. A smiley face was added at the end of the message by the woman, which, if we do say so ourselves, is an extremely savage move.
Grin and Bear It
Consider the following scenario: you’re on a hike. The best part of this hike is the tunnel at the end, which leads to a breathtaking sunset. Imagine climbing into this tunnel and being greeted by a bear halfway through. What do you do when there’s nowhere to run?
Grin and Bear It
When this photo was taken, we’re guessing the people who took it were trying to figure out what they were going to do. At the very least, they got to live like a caveman?
Locked In
We’re guessing that the construction workers in charge of this asked whoever’s car this is to move it a number of times before allowing it to be parked there permanently.
Locked In
We’re also speculating that every time they politely warned them that they were about to take action, the car owner rolled their eyes and said, “yea, yea, I’ll take care of it,” and then didn’t. We don’t believe the car owner deserved it in the first place, but we do understand why it occurred.
Call Me Maybe
We’ve all misplaced our phones at some point. When we do, it’s usually a thoughtful stranger who returns it to us. We’ve never heard of anyone dropping their phone and having it returned by a crocodile.
Call Me Maybe
Everything has a first. It’s a good thing the person who dropped this phone had a good phone protector because we’re pretty sure this would have been the end of their phone if they didn’t.
Fried Apples
Fried green tomatoes are something you’ve probably heard of. What about fried apples, do you think? Comfort in your workplace is important, but becoming overly comfortable can turn into a fire hazard in some situations.
Fried Apples
As you can see from the photo, lighting a candle to set the mood at work wasn’t the brightest idea (pun intended). On the bright side (pun intended yet again), if you look closely enough, this Mac appears to have two apples.
Swing When You’re Not Winning
There are some habits that you just can’t seem to break. When a child uses a swing, they are usually accompanied by an adult until they are confident enough to use it safely.
Swing When You’re Not Winning
But make no mistake about it: some children, and even more so, some adults, will never learn. Take, for example, this young lady. She believed she could swing very high before falling off.
Putting the Rage in Garage
Some people are fortunate enough to have a garage that lifts up from the ground. It’s pretty cool, but having a home with this kind of amenity will almost certainly require a large sum of money.
Putting the Rage in Garage
It is, without a doubt, a space-saving method. If you have more than one car, however, it’s a good idea to move the one that’s blocking your raisable garage while you get the other one out…
Who Hauls
Persistence pays off – on occasion. It can sometimes lead to situations like this. This U-Haul driver appeared to believe he would be able to navigate this tunnel without difficulty. He almost made it, but he got stuck at the tunnel’s end.
Who Hauls
The most awkward aspect of this is that there is a large sign stating that trucks are not permitted. Ironically, the truck on the sign looks exactly like the one in the photo.
It’s All Downhill From Here
This limo appears to be on the verge of collapsing. We’re not sure how something like this happens – gravity, physics, or an obstinate driver? We now know that if we ever ride in a limousine, we should request that the driver avoid hills.
It’s All Downhill From Here
We have no idea where the passengers in this limo were going, but we’re willing to bet that they got out a split second after this photo was taken and decided it would be faster to walk.
Emergency Exit
Whoever was in charge of landing this plane did an excellent job. Not! This image is most likely the source of many people’s fear of flying. We’re not going to lie, they did a fantastic job landing the plane; it’s just that they did it upside down.
Emergency Exit
We hope that this means that whoever was in command of this plane made it out alive – and that their pilot’s license was not revoked as a result of the incident.
Like Riding a Bike
This appears to be a standard photo at first glance. Then you noticed the wheel that wasn’t quite right. This kid appears to be so focused on his task that it’s a shame he flew headfirst into the cement a split second after this photo was taken.
Like Riding a Bike
A fail is almost always on the horizon, and you never know when it will be captured on camera. There’s not much more to say about this mishap besides the fact that you should always wear a helmet. First and foremost, put your safety first.
Overboard
We have no idea how someone ends up in a situation like this. It appears to be logistically impossible, but it happened. The two guys on the deck appear to be trying to figure out how such a tragedy occurred, and, more importantly, what will happen next.
Overboard
We’re curious as to which poor crew member was fired as a result of this mistake. Who do you believe is to blame for this? Is it the guy in the yellow shirt or the guy in the blue shirt?
Falling for You
We’re not sure where to begin with this photo because there’s so much going on. This appears to be a situation he enjoys, but his girlfriend, on the other hand, is a different story.
Falling for You
It’s difficult to tell whether she’s angry because her boyfriend is kissing another woman or because he’s about to dump her. Given that everyone at the party is wearing the same shirt, it’s no surprise that they’re also hooking up with one another.
Netflix & Not So Chill
Being cheated is a difficult thing to deal with, so we admire this man’s courage in telling his story to the world. We also admire his detective’s eye; it’s not easy to spot a reflection in a computer screen.
Netflix & Not So Chill
We’re guessing his ex-girlfriend saw this guy’s story along with the rest of the world, and it’s pretty embarrassing for him. We hope his story has a happy ending and that she has learned from her mistakes!
Team Player
This is known as Murphy’s Law. This guy is not only the only one who was soaked by the sprinkler, but he is also the only one who is sitting behind the only sprinkler that is working. How did this kid end up sitting directly behind the ONLY sprinkler on the entire field that is working?
Team Player
What’s more incredible is that no one seems to notice what’s going on. Everyone is so focused on what their instructor is saying that they are oblivious to the masterpiece taking place right in front of their eyes.
I Now Pronounce You…
Imagine the following scenario: you’re showing your coworkers photos from the wedding you went to last weekend. Everyone compliments the bride on her beauty, and then you notice that the groom looks a little different than you remember him looking.
I Now Pronounce You…
This photo couldn’t have been taken at a better time, especially since the bride and the woman officiating the wedding are both looking straight at the photographer. We’re not sure how an owl ended up at a wedding, but it made for a memorable moment.
Love/Hate Relationship
If you’ve ever played a competitive sport, you know that nothing else matters except the ball when you’re in the middle of a game. You keep your gaze fixed on the goal, ignoring anything that might get in your way.
Love/Hate Relationship
That appears to be what happened to these two players; they were so determined to get the ball that they collided. We can’t believe how close these two athletes are in this photo, and we can’t help but wonder what happened the second after this picture was taken!
Faking It
This is awkward for a variety of reasons. To begin with, what’s up with this woman’s hair? It’s possible that in some strange worlds, capturing a photo of a friend sleeping with potato chips all over their face is amusing.
Faking It
But why would you take a photo of yourself pretending to sleep with chips all over your face? Can you find the culprit who caught this poor woman in the act?
First Date Fail?
Let’s be honest: sitting at the bar isn’t exactly comfortable. You don’t have a back rest on your stool, the people next to you are too close, and if you’re a little taller than average, you’re doomed. This guy exemplifies all three of the points we just made: he can’t seem to get a break.
First Date Fail?
Because he’s so tall, he had to choose which leg would guard him while the other squished in between the two women on both sides. We’re hoping he wasn’t out on his first date!
Who’s Gonna Tell Her?
Nothing is more terrifying than going to the bathroom and stepping out with toilet paper stuck to your shoe. To be honest, we’d be lying if we said it had never happened to us. It’s always nice when a stranger approaches and points down, implying the embarrassing situation without saying anything.
Who’s Gonna Tell Her?
These people are angels in our eyes. What happens if your pants get stuck with toilet paper?! Would you like it if someone told you? We’re undecided about this one – isn’t it possible that the less we know, the better?
Designated Parking
The level of savagery is 100. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen such a brilliant move when it comes to finding parking in a crowded lot. They parked their car in the shopping cart receptacles rather than driving around for hours looking for a parking spot.
Designated Parking
It’s strange to think that someone was so determined to park in this spot that they risked damaging their vehicle while pulling in. The only question we have is how did whoever owns this car manage to get out of it?
You Had One Job
So, while we understand that cheerleaders spend most of their time cheering and less time in the classroom, “spirit” is a basic word. Looking at this is simply excruciating for us. We’re curious as to how many people worked on this odd sign and why no one noticed the misspelled word.
You Had One Job
We’re hoping their teachers weren’t in the audience when this embarrassing moment occurred. Spirit is in the air, as is the realization that someone is going to have to go back to elementary school with us.
Napoleon Complex?
Why did he invite a girl who was much taller than him to prom if he was so self-conscious about his height? What happened when he stood up and realized he had to go to prom? Is it true that she switched from shoes to flats? Is it true that he stayed up all night dancing with other women?
Napoleon Complex?
Whatever the case may be, we hope he understands that being a few inches shorter than your girl is nothing to be ashamed of, and that he should walk proudly wherever he goes.
The Hard Truth
Do you ever find yourself waiting in a long line and forgetting why you were there in the first place by the time you get to the teller? Yes, we’re in the same boat! You can’t help but wonder what’s the hold-up while waiting in line, can you?
The Hard Truth
The truth is out: while you were waiting in line for your lunch break, this woman was playing solitaire – it turns out you could have been in and out in 20 minutes if you had done so.
Yellow Belt
At first glance, it may appear as though the dog is imitating his owner, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there is a little surprise in store for you here. Yes, exactly what you’re thinking is true.
Yellow Belt
Perhaps the dog was annoyed that his owner spent more time practicing karate than taking him for a walk, or perhaps she was so still that he mistook her for a tree? We’ll never know the answer, but what we do know is that this photo is both awkward and hilarious.
All Grown Up
This photo may appear to be more frightening than awkward at first glance, but rest assured, this is about as awkward as it gets. This guy’s friends had a Halloween party, and he showed up fully costumed as The Babadook.
All Grown Up
It turns out that his friends were going for a “wine and cheese” kind of celebration, so he sat there in full makeup. We’ll blame it on our friends – who doesn’t have a wine and cheese party on Halloween?!
Keep Your Friends Close
This is an awkward picture. We needed two minutes and thirteen seconds to figure out what was going on (yes, we counted). The girl on the left is wrapping her arm around the girl on the right if you haven’t noticed yet.
Keep Your Friends Close
However, it’s a little more complicated than that; at first glance, the man standing directly behind them appears to be touching her shoulder. The fact that the man is out of focus adds to the awkwardness of the photo – he appears to be just creepily hanging out.
Peek-A-Boo
This picture redefines the term “cat woman” – talk about a perfectly timed selfie. This woman snapped a photo, only to be surprised when her cat decided to join in the fun.
Peek-A-Boo
Fortunately for her, her cat has the most stunning eyes. This picture looks to be either a new type of superhuman or a cat from another dimension; we’ll let you decide which scenario you prefer.
You Had One Job
If you look at it closely, you can see that there is a man desperately attempting to save this Porsche – we are curious as to how well his efforts were successful.
You Had One Job
We can’t imagine what the driver of this car was thinking when he forgot to apply the emergency brake before parking (or trying to park) this vehicle. It’s also a shame because it appears to be the most colorful and interesting vehicle in the bunch.
Too Close For Comfort
We can almost hear his sweat hitting the pavement because he appears to be so close to the ground. He appears engrossed in his breakdancing, and it would take an army to get him to stop.
Too Close For Comfort
We’re not sure if he made it or if this routine ended with his guy hitting his head on the ground, but we hope he did. Taking your skills to the streets takes a lot of practice and guts, and we admire and salute his bravery!
Love, Netflix
Over the years, streaming services have grown in popularity. Because people are no longer renting DVDs, movie rental stores are becoming increasingly irrelevant. Looking at this broken Blockbuster sign gives us all the feels, and it breaks our hearts, to be honest.
Love, Netflix
This guy took what we were all thinking and turned it into a laugh. If Netflix had anything to say, it would most likely be “lol.” All of our childhood memories may rest in peace.
What a Vision
When going rock climbing, make sure you have everything you need: water, chalk, the right shoes… We’re hoping that this climber brought an extra pair of glasses in this case. This photo was perfectly captured, and if we’re being honest, it looks like a work of art.
What a Vision
The only thing that concerns me is that this climber has poor vision and had difficulty completing his climb. We’re sure that when he reached the peak of this mountain, the view was breathtaking.
