20 Strange Moments Where People Made Life Trickier Than Swimming Through Jam

Life, eh? It loves to throw you a little curveball from time to time. Although, more often than not, those curveballs come from other people, not necessarily from life itself.

So, from people who committed carnal sins on public transport to individuals who uncovered strange secrets in fast-food drinks bottles, here are 20 strange moments where people made life trickier than swimming through jam!

"We're getting a new kitchen countertop soon. Making sandwiches will be easier."

Or, you know, you could always change the bread that you buy? It is like they have gone out of their way to find a bread that perfectly matches their countertop!

"Seen on a Jukebox in Dallas..."

I can just imagine all of the Mariah Carey and general Christmas fans pouring with sweat while staring at this sign. This won't stop the song from coming on, not even the apocalypse can stop that damn song.

"My book on overcoming OCD has a dot purposely out of place."

Someone in the comments who also suffers from OCD did point out, "This is actually genius. Part of treatment for OCD is to expose yourself to triggers until the negative emotions surrounding them disappear while avoiding compulsive behavior."

"This teacher projects his face during exams."

Wow, how wonderfully unsettling! This is just the kind of distraction that everyone wants looming over them while they're doing an exam. He should make it so that his eyes look around randomly as well.

"Apparently I live in a prison."

Those are some absolutely ghastly toilets, I'll give them that. This person did go on to add, "That's my local, public bathroom. In my town." Even for a public bathroom, that is a pretty shocking bathroom!

"One of my students handed this very suspicious note in today."

It could have been worse, they could have brought the homework in with pieces assembled from the dog's excrement. That would really have got the school day off to a flying start!

"Lady in front of me during 4 hour flight."

I am not even this comfortable in my own home, never mind on a plane full of strangers! Also, good to see that RyanAir are still going with the "we'll make your eyes bleed" color palette on their aircraft.

"The plan was simple. (1) Set the camera timer. (2) Join my wife in the hammock."

I am going to assume that, as opposed to calmly getting into the hammock, this guy took a running jump at it? I'd put any money on that being the case.

"Check out this car's sick rims…"

Must parking this gladiatorially kitted out vehicle not be an absolute nightmare for them? Imagine trying to fit that in a spot in a busy multi-storey car park! This surely cannot be road legal, right?

"I wanted to make spaghetti sauce so I grabbed a can..."

You can still make a spaghetti sauce out of this, with the aid of a blender. However, I guarantee that it will be the worst spaghetti sauce that you have ever tried.

"This is my 12-year-old nephew doing his homework."

And there really wasn't a single more comfortable position for him to be doing his homework in? Maybe it is gymnastics homework and he is just trying to immerse himself in the subject?

"My neighbor has been giving me repeated note to cut down my trees, these are my trees…"

Those are some damn nice looking trees as well! This person did of course go on to add that they told their neighbor they would have to cover the cost of having them removed, but the neighbor didn't go for that idea funnily enough.

"Take a wild guess as to what's not under this sign."

Well, I can't believe it's not butter underneath the butter sign. Although, speaking of I can't believe it's not butter, that could still technically be under this sign then, right? Ah, I've given myself a headache.

"Painted the Welsh flag for ya, boss."

"Look, they didn't have to go and make it hard for everyone by having a damn dragon on their flag in the first place! I am sure there is a very valid historical reason for it being there, but I don't care!"

"What could go wrong after not closing window before leaving dormitory for quarantine?"

I bet that the smell in this room could knock you down. Something also tells me that those jeans and those bedsheets might need to be replaced sharpish.

"I was served oranges, orange juice while in hospital, even though they have me down as allergic to citrus."

This hospital is clearly just trying to free up a bed by bumping you off nice and quickly. It is pretty ruthless efficiency on behalf of the hospital mind.

"Five Guys in France uses these chips to prevent you from getting refills like in America."

This is unnecessarily devious. I wonder if there are people who flog knock-off chips that will allow you to get unlimited refills? There surely has to be a market for that!

They Painted The Lines To Perfection!

In fairness, the ownership was completely on the person whose dog did this to pick up their dog's crap! This is now like a really surrealist version of writing your name in wet cement.

"Standing room only terminal. Karen held this row for an hour and a half. About to start boarding."

Some people did suggest that she must be holding those seats for family and friends, but to keep them occupied like that for an hour and a half is absolutely ridiculous.

"I spent 15 minutes looking for my guitar pick."

Welcome to the hell that is trying to find the blasted guitar pick on this bedsheet. I refused to give up and it took me...well, definitely not half an hour to find the damn thing.
