50 times people spotted the weirdest sight on public transportation

People are weird.

For the next few moments, I’ll provide you with 50 reasons to point and laugh at the weirdness of others, but I want you to remember something. At times you are weird too.

Somewhere, sometime, you’re going to do something utterly ridiculous and someone with a phone in their hand—which, you realize, means everyone—will snap a shot of it and share it for others to laugh at.

You’ve been warned. Not sit back and laugh.

1. Patterns

Talk about the distinct pattern of male pattern baldness. Do these men all drink from the same water source? Live near a nuclear power plant?

2. So many questions

I can’t tell. Is that Ben? Remy? Stuart Little? Is it a mouse or a rat? Was it take your rat to work day? Does he even know he has a rodent in his pocket?

3. Someone call PETA!

That poor dog! This isn’t right. Is the poor woman challenged, or did she think that was her kid she was dressing that morning?

4. It’s hard to keep up

Technology is forever changing, isn’t it? Something new every year. But some find it hard to let go of what they knew and loved.

5. Mace? Pepper Spray?

If I hear someone is carrying around a spray bottle, the last thing I’m thinking about is a phone. But hey, maybe it was a gift from a beloved parent of child. Who am I to judge?

6. Stepford Wives?

You know the scary part? I bet they all think they look unique. That they have their own certain style.

7. Comb over

Either he had a senior’s moment when trying to style his hair that morning and lost his comb, or he’s just using it as a barrette. What do you think? Fashion statement or forgetfulness?

8. SCP-049

Bet you didn’t know that’s who this is. Part of the The SCP Foundation, 049 is a 30 foot tall humanoid that can kill you on contact. Run, people. Run!

9. Mr… ah. Ms. President?

Doppelganger comments aside, is she pissed because someone right in front of her is wearing the same coat? That is not a happy face! And, okay, she really does look like the president.

10. Groot? Is that you?

I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot. (And that’s all I can say.)

11. When you gotta go…

Do you hate the bathroom in public transportation? I do! But I still don’t think I would go this far. How about you?

12. Classy!

What are people thinking? And if they’re ordering something custom made, why not make sure they’re doing it right? That fake leather with the roses and the “sample text here” is a giant fail. But her nails match.

13. My question is, why?

So it’s clear she’s dressed in a fabric that matches the seats. Apparently this isn’t a weird coincidence. Some fashion designer in Germany has decided this is an interesting idea.

14. Worthless!

After whipping out his jeweler’s loupe and inspecting his new iPhone, he has discovered it doesn’t have nearly the amount of karats he was promised. His chances of getting his money back are extremely small.

15. An electrifying ride

So, this idiot decided he didn’t want to pay the fare, but paying with the price of his life was okay? I mean, I’m pretty sure those are high-voltage cables he’s hanging on to.

16. Yoga? Drugs? Drunk?

There are a lot of different theories and probabilities for what’s going on here. Even some new form of pole dancing. I’m going to settle for crazy.

17. After a long hard day

I understand that people who work on their feet all day, often like to soak them when they get home. Note I said when they got home. For this person? Have bucket, will travel.

18. Nevermore

I’m not sure if that’s a raven. I actually doubt it is. But if I was on the train and saw somebody with a raven, I would ask that he do it nevermore.

19. Unbelievable

In the city where I live, people often complain about our public transportation. You know. Things like the air-conditioning wasn’t working on the train that day. Certainly not because there was no door.

20. Watch your feet!

There’s no consideration for hygiene here. And a significant amount of confidence that people won’t put their feet in your food. But it looks like he’s got a full bottle of something known to be excellent at killing bacteria, so I guess it’s all good.

21. Pluck, pluck!

Is the lack of eyebrows deliberate? Is it due to some medical condition? Either way, her replacement brows are clearly wrong.

22. Well, it’s bright!

I think the only positive thing I can say about this outfit is that it appears — at least for the most part — that the shades of yellow match. However, the black socks and sandals? What is she thinking?

23. Um, nice shoes!

Notice there aren’t that many people on the street? And the people who are there seem to be facing the other direction. Has everybody else run away screaming?

24. License to carry?

So this is in Lithuania. I know absolutely nothing about their gun laws, but I’m going to guess that this is not standard, legal practice.

25. I think I know her

Is this Chucky’s girlfriend? You know, Chucky, the doll from the movie Child’s Play? Because this has a horror genre feel to it, don’t you agree?

26. I hate Mondays

That is not a happy face. Do I see festering anger? Extreme discontent? Or is it just another Monday morning on the way to work?

27. Fashion don’t!

If he has a woman, how could she have let him out of the house like this? If he thinks he’s going to attract a woman—well, they do say there is someone for everyone.

28. Just, no!

What is this? Bring your pet to work day? How long is this driver’s shift? How long does that dog have to sit there chained like that? And how many times does it get stepped on?

29. I think I’m moving!

I live in the wrong country. I want to live where I can sit on the train and read my book and have a drink. Just truly relax on the way home from work

30. It’s going to blow!

How are those buttons still attached? That clearly isn’t a cheaply made shirt, because if it was, it would’ve been torn to shreds by now.

31. I’m confused

Is he wearing short pants? You know, like capris. Or does he have his pants hiked up? It looks like the first to me. What about you?

32. Is that…?

At first I thought some sort of creature was sitting one someone’s foot. But after some consideration I think that is the head of some sort of creature attached to someone’s boot. That would give me nightmares!

33. Bundle up!

Baby, it’s cold outside. Anyone who has never lived in a cold climate won’t understand the need to bury your face somewhere warm. However, if we knew how silly it looked, would we still do it? Probably!

34. Damn weatherman!

The said it was going to snow. Lots and lots of snow! Here I am with my sleigh, and there is no snow. Wrong again.

35. Even the shoes!

I didn’t realize prison inmate orange was a fashion statement. But then I never watched Orange is the New Black, so I might be missing out on something. Help me out guys. Is this a trend I should be following?

36. Magic mushroom!

Aren’t the tops of mushrooms called caps? Or are they just called tops? I don’t eat them, so I really don’t know. Either way, I think buying someone this mushroom cap would be a cool gag gift. I hope this person is wearing it because they lost a bet.

37. Did you see him?

OMG, he is so cute! This is the kind of thing you hope someone’s child or mother bought them and they are wearing out of love. Not because they think they are making a fashion statement.

38. Why?

Who gets up in the morning and thinks about the day’s hairstyle and goes, “I know! Tentacles!” Or perhaps those are fingers. Reaching out to… something.

39. Truer words!

I want that bag. Although now that I think about it, it depends on your shopping habits. I have expensive taste. I’m pretty sure if I shopped all the time, it would come out more expensive than the psychiatrist. But much more fun, right?

40. Something isn’t right

What’s wrong with this picture? Look at her. She looks classy and sophisticated. An elegant old lady. She should be in a limo, not taking crappy looking public transportation.

41. Help me out here

Is that one whole person or part of two people? I think its two people but I’m not sure. The legs look like they are behind the second seat, right? Even if it is another person, based on the way the feet are facing, that is very confusing.

42. Decisions, decisions

New cuts are hard, right? You want to go shorter, but what if you hate it? I think this guy might have the answer. Just sort of ease into the decision. And don’t let anyone tell you it looks crazy. You know what you’re doing.

43. It happens!

You know those mornings you’re in a total rush? Or you are so tired, sick, or hung over you just don’t know what you’re doing? That could be what happened here, right? He really thinks he’s all matched up.

44. Gross!

Who here likes to find their man’s whiskers in the sink? Disgusting, right? How about finding them on the seats and armrests of your seat on the bus or train? This isn’t the place to deal with your personal hygiene.

45. April Fools?

I don’t know what’s going on here, but it looks like the perfect April Fools—in October. You know, it’s probably a good thing we don’t have piles of leaves around early April, because I’m thinking of a lot of fun things you could do with them as a joke.

46. Wait. What?

There you are, riding the bus on the way to work. You think it’s a day like any other. Until you look out the window and see a camel strolling by. And you aren’t anywhere where a camel should be.

47. That’s empathic

I actually want that bag. It would save so much talking. And save me from fielding stupid questions and requests. Just hold up your bag. “Just say no.”

48. Bad trip?

“I was tripping, man.” This is like the outcome of a bad experience with some heavy psychedelic drugs. And I would think public transportation is the last place you should be in that case. For you sake and everyone else’s.

49. Royalty

Never let it be said you think too much of yourself. When other people want to bring you down, remember that your place is not on the bottom. You were born to rule!

50. Um, what?

Seriously, what is the message here? Taking this bus/train means taking your life in your hands? Don’t stand up because the ceilings are too low? We suspect there is a deranged killer on the train? We drive under low bridges? So confused.
