Better Luck Next Time

Kiss cams have become a thing during sporting events in the United States and Canada. Everyone believes everyone secretly hopes they get onto the kiss cam. The camera would scan the crowd around an arena, stadium, and court and selects a specific couple to focus on a larger screen.

Then the rest is history! Over the years, it has become a rite of passage for sports fans and is primarily for good fun, laughter, and love. However, it is nothing without some surprise. We're not sure what's more awkward here, though, the guy rejected or the one longing for someone.

Dodge Face

This photo was captured perfectly at the right time, and it is hard to believe this was an accident! The ball dodged to the girl's face perfectly, and she barely even had any sour reaction. It turns out that this photograph is one of the 365 self-portraits collection of photographer Kaija Straumanis.

She aims to capture a portrait version of herself while being hit by many different things. The powerful combination of creativity, framing, timing, selection of objects, and Photoshop manipulation makes the image convincing. In an interview with Straumanis, she said she was surprised that many people on the Internet found her albums hilarious.

Life Flashed Before His Eyes

This image made it among the top perfectly timed photos found on the Internet. Father and son bonding comes in various ways, and playing sports is one of the top choices. We can imagine how the father felt when his young boy finally smashed the ball into the air.

However, did he feel as incredible when he realized the ball was coming directly on his face? Nonetheless, we have to give it to him for capturing the photo just in time, but we hope the camera was fine and well too. And if it ended up being broken, we just hope they filed it under lessons learned.

We Bare Bears

Bears are portrayed by modern media as cute, adorable, and man-friendly like that of a dog. While that can be true for most bears, as they are categorized as shy, retiring animals that avoid humans as much as they can, it can still be a flight of terror to come across one, especially if you are both under a cave!

We don't have to see his face to know that the guy stopped mid-tracks while the bear was judging him. It might be tempting to shout and run, but the best thing to do is stay calm. In addition, maybe we should do our thorough research next time before traveling.

Trying To Fit In

Belonging is essential for personal well-being. As pointed out by The Good Society, organisms yearn for a person or place where they feel accepted, comfortable, and safe. That is probably one of the reasons why this cat explored the cabinet. Maybe he was just trying to find a spot where he feels belongs.

In relation, Cats Organizational also advised that we let our cats explore different areas of our house. Roaming around and settling in various places are part of the process where they adjust themselves to us. Letting them explore and slowly be comfortable makes up a good owner and pet relationship.

Anything For The Rugby

Rugby started as a men's sport, but it has also become popular among women over the years. It is believed to showcase how competitive and powerful women can be in the field. Just take, for example, these two ladies whose spirits are highly indulged in the game that they don't care about hitting each other.

The game aims to ground the ball behind the opponent's line or called the in-goal line. It involves both hands and kicking skills. Indeed, it was a game that proved how competitive a woman could get, even if it's just for one point. They'd literally go through all that hitting to own the ball.

Someone Missed The Memo

The horror hit "The Babadook" is among Australia's most nerve-wracking and suspenseful films. More so when author Kent shared with Screen Rant that the storyline was inspired by a real-life incident of a single mother she knew. Although that was a memorable production, dressing up in the scary character isn't as fun.

That was the case of this one guy dressed as Babadook at one of the Halloween parties he attended. Although his commitment to the look was commendable, he didn't enjoy it as much when he eventually discovered that everyone else opted for a smart casual look. While everyone was sipping their wines, he sat there questioning his decision.

Breakups Hurt...

Umbrellas are undeniably important. They protect us from the heat of the sunlight, rain, and even snow. They make lives easier and are designed to fit just right in our bags or arms. However, just like many things in this world, like a breakup, to be specific, they leave us one day too.

The poor owner was left in the middle of a rainy land with nothing but the handle. Instead of chasing it or running for a temporary cover, his first response was to capture the hilarious moment. Who knows, maybe other people thought it was a UFO paying a quick visit.

This Is How Boys Bond

Ever wondered what boys do when they hang out together? Most of the common responses include drinking, doing sports, or playing video games, but it looks like they know how to combine fun and wholesome bonding too.

This group of guys decided to spend their time beside the river, and instead of swimming together, they hopped on it individually. It just so happened that this one lucky gentleman was captured, falling slowly. It was perfectly photographed; it almost looked like he hit a shiny floor. We know it must have hurt, but their faces say otherwise, and it looked like they were having the time of their lives.

Check The Label, Son

Sometimes it looks like milk, sometimes like glue, and sometimes what you have to do to find out is to try them yourselves. Unfortunately, the poor child tried the thing with his mouth first instead of his hands. He took the risk for everyone else in the room and paid the price!

We can't entirely blame him, though. With its bottle and position, it sure looked like something that would quench a thirst. Consuming glue can cause poisoning, damage to the gastrointestinal tract, abdominal pain, and vomiting. It can also result in diarrhea and severe headache. We just hoped his mouth was unstuck, and he learned his lesson.

The Crowning Glory

Our hairs are often called the crowning glory as it is the most interesting part that someone inspects when they meet somebody. As explained by The Medical City, it is called that way not only because it is at the top of our body but because it makes a lot of difference to our appearance.

Indeed, this guy was caught in an incredibly long and stylish strand. What looked like a normal walk looked like an incredible portal to his world. We can't help to wonder if he also uses conditioner? Or if birds settle and make nests inside? Interestingly, it was just a real tree in the background, though.

Few Seconds Before A Catastrophe

Looking at the first photo, it's fun to see a child exploring the world and honing his skills. After all, riding on scooters enhances a child's fine and gross motor skills. It keeps their legs and back steady. However, the second photo makes us think twice if scooters are really for kids.

We don't need to elaborate on what happened. One look at these two images tells an entire story of a child crashing a wet cement... and it turned out to be a tragedy. Maybe that's why Better Health advised parents that a scooter can be dangerous for children, especially when not supervised.

Owl Do

Exchanging vows and "I do's" in front of your family and friends is among the most interesting part of a wedding ceremony. Then, reviewing and posting photos can pass off as the second greatest moment. However, what if the couple found out that an innocent, good-looking owl shared in their glory and even took the groom's position!

This photo turned out to be one of the most magnificent marriage photobombs of all time. No worries, though, as birds are integral invitees to most programs. Doves are often released as it represents fidelity and lifelong commitment. Meanwhile, some people use owls to denote status, intelligence, and wealth.

Stands True To Its Name

This is one unpopular choice for salad lovers, and it takes only one look to understand why. Further, its name speaks for itself. Carrots and green peas are common ingredients, but maybe they can be considered exotic when mixed together and labeled as a salad.

According to All Recipes, something is considered a salad when it is composed of usually cold dishes like vegetables, raw greens, and toppings. It is also typically served with a dressing or gelatin. So, just a spoon of dressing, and we can have a taste of this uniquely-served dish. At least we know it's still healthy, though.

Olaf's Long Lost Uncle

This photo looked pretty normal, with the guy flashing his best smile. Unknown to many, he was actually smashed by a snowball, and everyone thought his happiness would vanish for a while. They were caught by surprise when the snow stayed by the guy and even made it to the picture as if they were good friends.

They just have to make sure the snow did not linger on his skin for too long, though. The cold temperatures can cause skin roughness, disorders, and frostbite. When the skin starts to change color, and there's pain, it's time to consult a professional. Luckily, all went well in this image.

Ladies And Gentlemen... Gravity

We have learned about it before... the power of gravity that makes us walk, jump, and fly when photographed at the perfect time. This guy took the risk for that one perfect image that could easily go trending. While his photographer did a good job, he didn't.

When riding downhill, gravity pulls in the forward direction and acts as a force of acceleration. And by human nature, we are not designed to fly, and gravity would eventually draw us back to the ground. This might make it to one of the most epic bicycle scenes, but we seriously hope he learned his lesson, considering he didn't have any helmet.

It's Still A Kiss Though

Partying, drinking, and meeting people is fun, and we can see that on their faces. Moreover, alcoholic drinks make people more confident, which is why this guy gathered up all his courage to ask his girl crush for a kiss. Unknown to him, a tricky mask was placed perfectly to meet his lips while he was in the moment.

According to Duke University, the notion that people forget memories from a night out is possible due to elements present in alcohol. It affects short-term memory as it slows down nerves in the brain. We hope the guy didn't sulk for a long time when he remembered this.

That's Not A Twin Either

Imagine walking through the bus stop to start your day, and people were throwing curious looks at you? You might wonder at first, but when you finally see this criminal poster, you just want to hide in the wheels. That was a horrible feeling that this guy felt when he came across an advertisement featuring a criminal that looked like him.

According to Science Alert, there is about a one in 135 chance that a pair of look-alike exist somewhere in the world. While that data sparked interest among people, we can assume this guy had a shave and haircut as soon as he went home.

When Luxury Turns Misery

Electric garages are among the most luxurious compartments one can have in his home. The price is worth the convenience as it allows owners to effectively park two cars in one space when one vehicle is lowered to an underground. However, just like any other electric device, it can malfunction at unexpected times.

Unfortunately, while the Subaru was parked underneath and the Jeep Wrangler was placed in the lift, the electric garage malfunctioned as a control unit was flooded. The power tripped, and the sensors jammed, causing the lift to raise uncontrollably until the roof was crushed. The situation broke hearts, communication, and maybe pockets too.

Fruit Ninja Extreme

Grocery bags have helped humans over decades, especially in stocking stuff we buy. However, it missed one key fact about human beings: our determination to put as many things as much as we thought it was possible.

Take this lady, who was surprised when her beloved fruits made their way out of the bag and touched the floor like the ones we see in games. It was composed of a wide variety, including orange, cherry, and onions. There are still many things to be grateful for, though, because as long as these fruits still smell, touch, and taste nice, they're still good to go.

A Minnie Shift Of Perspective

Who goes out dressed as Minnie Mouse these days? Well, it can be pretty normal during a children's party, on Halloween, or somewhere in Disneyland, but seeing it randomly on the streets can be bizarre. This photo needed us to think twice as we realized that it was just a balloon held by a person underneath.

It turned out we had to think thrice because it's a kid tucked in her mother's arm for a quick nap. It's not advisable to sleep in public, both for security and health purposes. So we understand if the mom wanted to cover her daughter for a while- with a Minnie Mouse balloon for extra aesthetic.

We Saw That, Sleeping Beauty

One look, and we can make up a scenario. Probably the girl set up a movie on a Saturday night. To complete the experience, she munched on a bag of chips. In the middle of the film, she fell asleep, and her husband or friend came in to take a photo of her sleeping face.

Then, we wider our gaze and catch the other angle of the photo. There's the mirror perfectly revealing the reality of this woman. It's good that our made-up scenario was fake, though, as Healthline told it's not good for humans to sleep right after eating. Calories won't burn, and the harmful benefits add up.

A Splash Surprise

We can't tell if she knew what would happen if she risked a pose. True or not, the damage had been done; she was in for a surprise, and now she had to wash and change her outfit once again. It's good she was not caught by the waters, though; it's a different kind of horror if she drowned too.

Another thing we have to wonder about is the camera! The girl might be surprised, but she sure knows how to fix herself. However, more serious damage awaited the device when any amount of water reached the circuits and messed with the voltage. We hope they fixed it and learned a lesson.

Double Hit

Dogs are man's best friend, and it's nice to see they put in some effort to learn about us and the things we love doing. At first glance, this looked like an adorable scene; they perfectly resembled each other while doing the iconic karate pose.

While we cannot make dogs learn official karate, we can teach them tricks that stand out among their fellow animal beings. These tricks include howling, army crawling, spinning, standing tall, and fetching, as recorded by Top Dog Tips. However, we also must wonder why the girl looked displeased despite her dog matching her trick. It's probably the wet thing coming out that stained her uniform.

Which Is Which

We often see gentlemen matching outfits with their lovers or during costume parties. Most of the time, it can be considered adorable. However, that can not always be the case if you accidentally matched shoes with a stranger on a subway. Even the man behind the image found it momentary that he took a remembrance of it.

According to Brain Fodder, coming across a stranger who matches outfits with us can either be an awkward or funny encounter. How it would turn out depends on us entirely. Either we ignore, pretend, give them a high five, or sulk on the corner because we thought someone wouldn't match our coolness.

Tall Things Come In Packages

Being tall is both a blessing and a curse. It must feel nice being higher than most people and offering them help by reaching the things they cannot. Leg Lengthening Survey listed out the advantages tall people uphold. The list includes increasing confidence, making them more intelligent and competitive in sports.

On the other side, being tall also carries the disadvantages of bad posture, health-related problems, and finding perfectly fit outfits. Furthermore, this guy just sealed another weakness: the difficulty of fitting into things designed for regular-sized humans. We hope he still had a good time in that bar and didn't trip anyone.

That's What Friends Are For

Friends are an integral part of life, and we can go on for a long list of why. For now, let us appreciate this kind of friendship that speaks of support for his girl buddy, even if it looked like he didn't enjoy it as much. We might think he's pitiful, but it seemed like he had long accepted his fate.

Platonic friendships refer to friendships without romantic attachment. According to Regain, bonds like such enhance communication and boundaries. Plus, it serves as a foundation for other romantic relationships in the future. Hope he didn't sulk long enough; we're pretty sure his princess is just around the corner.

VIP Seats? Think Again

Playing for your state is both an honor and a responsibility. Much more when very important people are seated perfectly where they see your every move. At this moment, it's understandable how players get so heated and driven they toss and turn inside the court.

It just happened that former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was caught by surprise when University of Michigan's Mitch McGary rolled over and almost kicked his face. Snyder told The Oakland Press that the foot missed his face by only an inch, but it hit his wife Sue in the chin. All things were conversed well after that, though.

A Tip For A Tip

While tipping is not mandatory, it has become a customary act of service, most especially in the United States. Americans don't even think about it; they just do it, and it has become a standard way of practice. When the bill arrives, something is always added before paying the usual.

However, this waitress must have been greeted by surprise when instead of receiving the expected tip, she received an unexpected, straight-to-the-heart word tip. She found the moment astonishing that she had to take an image of it. If we feel sorry for her, let's take a moment and wish the husband had a peaceful drive on the way home.

Snoopy Family

Sometimes it's inevitable to take a look on someone's phone, like if you're seated on a train. That doesn't seem to be the case in this photo, it's obvious the wife was delighted to find a perfect opportunity to snoop around her husband's business. Not to mention the dog's doubtful look that complements the scenario well.

As noted by HuffPost, people like to go through their partner's phone because they tend to overthink they are hiding secrets or doing illicit activities. However, this is not an indication of a healthy relationship. We're not in the position to judge, and we seriously want them to live a happy family life!

We Knew It Was Trouble

A lot is going on in this photo, much to look at, and we're not sure what's the main problem here. One thing is certain: whoever parked the car there will surely have trouble getting it out nice and clean. It would take much effort, strength, and maybe a call for help.

As compiled by The Road Trip Expert blog, a good place to park our vehicle is that it should be close to an exit, in a well-lit area, and easy to maneuver in and out. Yet, there's still a bright side to it, at least the owner can be confident it will not be stolen there.

See You Later, Alligator

The common phrase "see you later, alligator" had its origin in 1951 when Suzanne Kramer wrote it in her U.S. publication, "Teen Biz." It started as an infamous saying until it has become a common teen slang translation today. It seemed like a literal alligator just learned of the line and was on his way to text his friends.

If the alligator eats that up, it will mess up his intestines and other systems. Meanwhile, if the owner pursues to get back his phone, the alligator can attack him close enough. According to a Texas publication, it's never a good idea to come close and provoke such animals.

Wrong Spelling Wrong, But At Least It's Still Readable

Imagine getting a tattoo without your mother's permission, so you get inked with a special dedication for her. Even with trembling knees, you hope your mother will be touched by your moves. And here comes the tattoo artist ruining the day, and you don't notice it until you get home!

Now your mother is only minutes from getting home, and there's no way you can reverse things. We don't know how his mother felt, but he still ended up being photographed, and maybe that made all well. According to Saved Tattoo, the only way to get rid of mistaken ones are to cover them up.

Baked Apple Pie: Extreme Edition

Baked apple pie is a great dessert well-loved by money, not to mention it's created delightfully. What's not delightful is to see your Apple laptop consumed by fire in the most obvious spot. If the temperature gets hot enough, the components of the device would be burned and deform.

We don't want to judge the owner, but he had learned his lesson the hard way. As noted by Abertay, candle wax expands and puts pressure on anything close to it. As a result, the material would get flawed, chipped, cracked, or worse, explode. That is why it is a universal understanding never to place electronics near a candle.

Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

According to Center Span, driving a limo is no harder than driving an actual car. Several people even testified that it's similar to driving a Sedan. With that said, we can assume that this mini problem is rooted in the driver or just the fact that it's an extra-long limo on a bumpy road.

Nonetheless, the fact remains that limousines offer driving comfort to the best possible level. We can be sure it survived this quick pause with its long autonomy and specially curated turbodiesel engines. We also have to give props to people who helped and hope the driver had it checked, so it won't happen again.

See You On The Other Side

One look, and we all know something is seriously up... or maybe, down. The plane is rocking in its upside-down position and just smashed some of its very important parts on the ground. However, what is more surprising is that cases like this happen more often than we had imagined.

It is theoretically possible and is usually caused by the pilot pulling off the wrong combination of engines. According to Science Focus, the pilot could still save the scenario in achieving lift by altering the angle of attack. In other ways, he could point the plane's nose skyward. Either way, chances are higher that everyone on board landed safely.

Time To Show The Tricks, Bro

This is among the best contender on this list. He was just strolling around the neighborhood when suddenly his wheels decided to pull up an interesting show. As noted by Cycling Tips, this happens when the rider is in the midst of gusting wind, road bump, or just the wheel not pumped enough.

Bruises and wounds apart, at least that was an opportunity to show off the latest tricks he learned. Numerous tricks can be performed on any bike. However, they are best executed on mountain bikes and dirt jumpers. Aside from knowledge, you need the guts and the open mind that minor accidents may happen.

Diego...

This one speaks for itself; no long titles or commentaries are required. Probably many people can relate at one point in their lives, and we are in no position to judge Diego. We all have those moments where we miss something huge, and when reality hits, we feel our knees weak and hearts shrink.

All we hoped was that Diego was fine and he made the missed exam. Experiencing sudden shock or anxiety affects the nervous system more than we can imagine. There is a sudden drop in blood pressure. Its most obvious manifestations include upset stomach, fainting, and knees not coordinating properly.

A Hello And Goodbye Wave

Waves on beaches are normal scenarios, but we all know when it becomes abnormal and dangerous. According to the Outdoor Swimming Society, if there is a minimal wave in front of us, we should grab a quick breath, dive under, stay calm, and prepare for another set of waves.

However, that's not the case here. This almost 50-foot wave was caused by a powerful storm. They ran into a strong current and caused it to increase the size and intensity. When this happens, it's an automatic response to run away and shout for help. While everybody else did that, this one guy was standing as if welcoming an old friend.

It's Taking So Long I Decided To Do It My Own

Instead of endless chattering or argument, we suggest that these two gentlemen help the boat get on its might again or at least ask for help. It seemed like the boat got tired of their conversation and decided to move on its own before they could use it for something.

Surprisingly, cases like the one depicted in the image happen more often than we think. Most of the tied boats that sank were either filled with rain or snow the night before. Other reasons include the malfunction of underwater fittings and engines. As noted by Boat U.S., 75% of boat sinking scenarios occur at the dock where it is tied.

Sometimes Cool Ain't Cool

Having a cool car is something to be proud of, yet one wrong move, and we'll see that not everything cool is good! We are not saying snows aren't cool; it's just that it played a negative combination for the owner who left his windows open. Probably he had a long day at work, but he certainly exerted himself more on this problem.

We hope he cleared it as ice melted and soaked deeper into the pile. It gets frozen and becomes as hard as concrete when it touches the insides. The only way is by using a shovel, which has a high chance of damaging the components.

The Wind Isn't On His Best Mood

It was one of those moments when shouting for disappointment was just too much, and there was nothing we could do anymore. In some scenarios, it's easy to let go of such a moment, but it's a different story for a ship containing cargo. We can blame the staff for not piling it well, the management for not checking in advance, or even the wind for not cooperating.

Now another question is what would happen to the cargo. Maritime Executive recorded that most cargo containers sink to the sea or ocean floor when not retrieved for two months. After that, it can get lost and wash up on the shores.

So Whose At Fault?

Here is another case of pointing fingers and trying to see how blaming could make sense of the situation. Another party could confidently say there is a sign, but the other might insist they should have made the sign bigger and more noticeable.

Both had a point, so instead of arguing, we're sure he just moved the car to another space. Big Basket Corporation revealed that placing shopping carts in parking lots is both a necessity and a strategy. Many shoppers could drop off their carts after unloading them instead of littering them everywhere. With such an explanation, we hope the guy never made this mistake twice.

Waiting In Vain

Mannequins receive mixed comments from shoppers, but their benefit is necessary for the business. The stores are able to display the latest trends and connect to customers by showing off their different best fits. According to research by Management Study Guide, mannequins attract customers and increase sales for a day.

In a post on Reddit, someone said the lady waited for five minutes until she woke up and widened her gaze. We can't help but think about the look on her face when she realized it was a vain waiting because of a mannequin! Well, at least we know that she's someone well-disciplined.

That's What Friends Are For Season Two

A few items ago, we went over a man supporting his lady friend in kissing another guy. Here is a similar scenario, only that the girl looked more supportive and excited. This photo was actually taken at the Rio Carnival. Someone snapped a photograph, uploaded it online, and it went viral. People were guessing the roles of each one in the relationship.

There wasn't any way to verify who they were. Interestingly, creating bonds between men and women increases confidence, awareness, and relational adjustments, even if there is no romantic stuff. After all, every one of them in this mini friendship story deserves a happy ending.
