Some people are naturals when it comes to being in front of the camera. But sometimes a shot is framed in a way that takes the viewers attention somewhere else.
Now that weโre into the digital era, you can take a ton of photos all at once, making sure you get it right (remember back in the day when you had to wait for your film to come back to check and see if you got a good one?).
But these 45 people still managed to miss a little something when snapping their photos. Whether itโs a reflection or a photobomb or just an accidental flasher walking by, these photo fails are sure to give you a laugh.
1. Dad selfie bomb
Next time youโre trying to look super cute for your Instsa audience, itโs best to make sure your extra-embarrassing and totally hilarious dad isnโt trolling you in the background.
2. I wear my sunglassesโฆin the bathroom
Weโre not sure why this guy needs sunglasses in the bathroom OR why he doesnโt notice the man using the urinal in the background.
Selfie fail on so many levels.
3. We hope thatโs not her hairdresser
We just hope she didnโt tag the salon in this photo. Or anyone else for that matter.
4. We canโt unsee it
The man in the back is perfectly positioned to look like a tiny person riding the woman off to the left.
Once you see it, itโs all youโll notice!
5. Juxtaposition
We wonder how many times this guy walked by this stretch of beach.
6. Flex for grandma
A proud grandma will always be there to help you take photos for your dating profile.
7. How do you not notice this?
We wonder just how long this photo stayed up before anyone noticed the person in the background.
Then again, if you use the bathroom with the door open, youโre obviously not that worried about people seeing you in there.
8. Wholesome family photo
What can we say, it was a windy day and at least the kids didnโt turn around in time to see the full moon.
9. Classy cat
This is part of the reason we just donโt get bathroom selfies โ thereโs always something embarrassing in there.
In this case, the damage is minimal since cats have no sense of shame.
10. Weather wonders
Frankly, weโre more perplexed by the crop top while her friend is wearing extra fuzzy uggs and a short skirt in the background.
Is it warm or cold outside?
11. Nature photography
Well, if you think baby giraffes are cute, I guess at some point you have to learn how theyโre made.
12. Threeโs company
The original poster apparently had this on their refrigerator for years before they saw there was a third person in the photo.
13. Rear view mirrow
We just hope she got away in time to not have to talk to the guy checking her out in the mirror.
14. Cute couple
Weโre referring to the humans in front, not the amorous couple behind them.
15. When ya gotta go ya gotta go
To be fair, thereโs no where else to pee when youโre on a small boat. This is just bad timing.
16. Whereโs the ball?
And then thereโs the small matter of whatโs going on with that golf cart in the background.
One too many beers out on the course?
17. Definitely the best and most dressed in the family
Some families have totally different boundaries and weโre just impressed that this guy is so proud of his dapper son that he failed to notice his reflection in the mirror.
18. The moon is out
Donโt you feel a breeze when that much of your backside is hanging out?
19. Thesis celebration
Everyone has their own way of celebrating the end of the school year.
Champagne and porn is certainly one way.
20. Hand-warmer
What a sweet photoโฆuntil you look to the left. Then weโre just confused as to why anyone would do this in public.
21. Pet and smoke free home
Itโs always good to be honest, especally if youโre not smart enough to hide the evidence of your lies.
22. Road rash
Thatโs some bad road rash. It apparently hurts so much he doesnโt realize his pants are falling down.
23. High quality paper
Nice try, but those bills donโt seem like the right size anyway.
I guess people are right when they say your Internet persona is mostly fantasy.
24. Sexy dog
We would really like to think this dog is making fun of the girls trying to take cute photos of themselves. Or maybe he or she just wanted to be in the shot.
Either way, itโs priceless. (And we did save the best dog photobomb for last, so keep clicking!)
25. Easy and breezy
Well, sir, you do look rather fine in that jacket. But can we also recommend some pants?
Or at least moving a bit to your right so we canโt see your behind in the mirror.
26. Itโs a foot
Baby feet are adorable โ unless you think theyโre something else at first!
27. Look, honey, the moon!
A cute picture of a lovely little girl, but we canโt help wondering if this isnโt framed to get the moon shot in the background.
28. Family photo fun
Maybe the dog was mad at not being invited into the shot. Either way, it got its revenge in the background.
But does this ruin the photo or make it a classic?
29. What kind of monster?!
If you buy anything from this person, part of the deal should be that they put on some shoes before answering the door.
Actually, just donโt buy anything from this person. We think the hygiene issue alone should be enough to dissuade you.
30. A warning of whatโs to come
To be fair, sheโs going to be dealing with a lot of poop in the next few years, so this was more of a portent than a photobomb.
31. Photoshop diet
Itโs sad that everyone thinks they need to look skinny before they post a photo online. But if youโre going to contribute to the problem, it might be best that everyone knows youโre faking it.
This girlโs friends called her out on it and she blamed filters โ but no filter changes your body shape.
32. Surprise!
No use in taunting your family if youโre too clueless to cover up the information youโre trying to keep a secret.
But congratulations on the little girl!
33. All-around fail
To be fair, this is no oneโs best shot. But we truly worry about the guy in the backgroundโs surfing skills if heโs managed to wipe out in waist-deep water.
34. A cry for help
We actually just hope this mistake allowed some friends to reach out and help.
35. Sinister bunny
Itโs amazing to look back on old Easter photos and see just how bizarre some of those bunnies looked.
I mean, we know the bunny has to breathe, but does he have to look so creepy while doing it?
36. Relief on deck
Thereโs always THAT friend around to ruin a perfectly good photo.
We kind of love that friend.
37. Mystery solved
Gee, we wonder why this personโs license was revoked.
Could it be becuse theyโre reading their mail while going 40mph?
38. European what now?
Thatโs some unfortunate tree placement.
We really hope Forget Me Not is a shoe store.
39. Congratulations from Freddie Kruger
Pretty sure this one had to be staged for a Friday the 13th wedding.
We hope.
40. Bad lighting
You can always leave it to some friend to find the perviest thing in a photo.
In this case, the issue is in the foreground and once you see it, you really canโt unsee it.
41. Leggings arenโt pants
I donโt know how many times we have to say it.
But this is why we have to say it.
42. Fresh beer, full moon
There are a surprising number of people with their backsides hanging out in the background of photos.
Weโve seen plumbers with better self-awareness than this guy.
43. Dirty desk chair
Someone definitely caught that chair at the right โ or wrong โ angle!
44. Special guest
Yep, weโd be screaming.
But weโre also impressed that the photographer was so committed to taking a bunch of selfies that she failed to notice her friendโs escalating reaction.
Maybe she just planned to crop her out later anyway.
45. When youโre SO over other peopleโs vanity
Honey, itโs time to let the dog in and hold off on the selfies for a while.
