There are times in life when it seems like every day is the same. But on the other hand, there are times when life amazes us. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but we’ll always remember the times that we were surprised by fate.
We’ve gathered 50 examples of our favorite surprises to share with you today. From kangaroos inside homes to people eating lobster dinners in university classes, this list is filled with interesting moments. Which one of these surprises is the most unexpected for you?
1. Old Bullets
At some point in history, multiple bullets were shot into this tree. The person discovered them by surprise when sawing through the tree trunk. We would love to find out the story behind them!
2. Adopted Pet
This man has been domesticating a wild iguana by feeding it a steady diet of bananas. Day after day, the iguana returns to get his tasty fruit treats. The two of them are even taking selfies together now.
3. Double Eggs
Hard boiled eggs are delicious. However, imagine cracking one open only to find another miniature egg inside. The worst part is having to peel everything twice.
4. Horror Movie Warning
When we see a red triangle on an object, we immediately know that it’s a caution sign. However, we expect it to be warning us about hazardous waste or a sharp object or something. If you open this box, the sign shows that you will get chased by a person wielding a chainsaw.
5. Incredible Fossil
Not only is this Ammonite fossil extremely well-preserved, but it also comes with a special bonus. Several opals formed inside of it. The beautiful opals match up perfectly with the spirals of the ancient shell.
6. Fruit Face
Slice open this fruit and you’ll find a surprise face in the middle. There are two seeds for the eyes, and below, two big seeds as front teeth. It’s strikingly human-like.
7. Wardrobe Malfunction
It looks like someone must have gotten out of bed in a hurry. The woman accidentally put her top on backwards in the morning. The funniest part was that she had no idea.
8. Friendly Visitor
How exactly does a wild kangaroo end up in a person’s living room? We aren’t entirely sure. All we know is that it’s something that could only happen in The Land Down Under.
9. Child Free Life
Having kids comes with a lot of positives, yet everyone knows that kids aren’t cheap. Sacrificing finances for the sake of a having family isn’t a tradeoff that every couple is willing to make. Some prefer the boatloads of money.
10. Cactus Stuffing
This cactus dog toy comes stuffed with an additional sad cactus inside. That way when the dog inevitably rips the first one open, there is still one more cactus to play with. It’s such a creative idea.
11. Dinner For Three
Some people love their dogs more than is reasonable. We think we would draw the line at bringing a dog to a restaurant in a jacket and feeding it french fries. That’s taking things too far.
12. Miniature Orange
In the center of this orange, a tiny additional orange was discovered. Just for curiosity’s sake, the man decided to peel the tiny orange. He found that it contained an equal amount of tiny slices.
13. Public Reading
Most people go to Apple stores to try out the new tech merchandise. From iPads to iPhones, there are all sorts of cool gadgets to check out. Yet, the young boy in this photo brought a paperback book with him to the store to read instead.
14. Bedroom Guest
Goats are outdoors animals. They belong in a field or in a barn on a farm. On top of a bed is pretty much the last place that a goat should ever be.
15. Misprinted Chapter
It’s pretty common to find a couple of typos when reading a book. Occasionally, an error or two happens. However, what’s not common is finding an entire chapter from a separate book printed in the middle of the text.
16. Baby Fish
This woman went to Petco and bought a fish. She intended on being the mother of only one fish, but she got much more than she bargained for that day. It turns out, the fish that she bought was pregnant!
17. Blocked Camera
This car has a rearview camera on it. The other drivers on the road must not like it very much, as one day, the owner discovered a small action figure taped across it. They went to back up and this is what they saw on the screen.
18. Snacking Student
During a university statistics lecture, one of the students was spotted eating a steak and lobster dinner. A granola bar or something, we could understand. However, lobster is definitely way too fancy for math class.
19. Shark Rock
Despite what it may look like, there is not actually a shark jumping out of the water. Someone just painted the rock to look like the vicious sea creature. It’s shockingly accurate and we bet a lot of swimmers are fooled by it.
20. Bocce Ball Interior
The players in this home accidentally cracked open their Bocce ball while playing a round. What they found shocked them. There were several miniature pool balls cemented in the middle of it.
21. Matching Attire
This woman and her grandma decided to buy the same dress for their relative’s wedding. The relationship between the two of them is uncanny. They showed up to the event and no one could tell them apart.
22. Canine Graduation
Dogs deserve graduation photos too. Our pets are a part of the family and we don’t want them to feel left out. They should get just as much recognition for their achievements as the humans in the family do.
23. Saving Seats
Most people save seats for their classmates using book bags or coats. However, when you are as flexible as this woman is, there are other potential options. You can do a split across four seats.
24. Dangerous Electrical Work
You never know what you are going to find inside an electrical panel. Anything is possible when you take off the panel and peek inside. A big angry snake could be waiting to jump at you.
25. Balancing Skills
Balancing a Pringle on your finger out the window while driving is not easy, but with a lot of practice you can do it too. This person’s record was 100 kph. The wind must have been ripping at that speed!
26. Dice Tricks
It turns out, many manufacturers reuse defective dice by placing them inside of new dice. It’s not great if you are hoping for die that are completely random. However, it is a very cost-effective manufacturing strategy.
27. Kitchen Intruder
You leave the window open for one second and something like this happens. It’s almost inevitable. The crazy city pigeons are getting bolder every day.
28. Rock Collection
So many of the surprises on this list involve unexpected things inside of other things. It’s because of how cool they are. For example, here we have a rock inside of another rock.
29. Taxidermy Fox
It looks like the girls are ready for their weekly lunch date. Both of them are very excited. Their chosen destination is their favorite place to eat together — McDonald’s. Although, it is a little strange that a dead fox is eating McDonald’s…
30. Former Pilot
This is pretty much the last thing you want to see out your window while flying. Although, the pilot’s cheerful mood does inspire a little bit of confidence at least. He seems optimistic about the situation.
31. Tree Heartwood
Did you know that it’s possible for a tree to be inside of another tree? That’s what it looks like is happening in this photo. The smaller tree and all of the branches were swallowed up by the bigger one.
32. Death Of Yoda
It was really surprising for the dog and his owner when they found a heart-shaped squeaker inside of the Yoda plush toy. Yoda had an actual heart! Somehow, they just never expected that.
33. Surprise Photobomb
This could have been a really nice family photo. If it wasn’t for that pesky guy in the background chugging the beer. He totally ruined it.
34. Siri Says Die
Technology that responds to voice commands is great. However, there is a lot of potential for things to go wrong. What if one day the technology accidentally misinterprets what you’re saying?
35. Bus Passenger
A white rabbit is pretty much the last thing you would expect to encounter on the bus. The most interesting part is how calm the animal appears. It’s acting like it does this every day.
36. Bath For Three
The husband tried to surprise his wife with a romantic bath. However, both of them were subsequently surprised by the dog. He was waiting in the tub, hoping to join them.
37. Wrong Address
“FedEx accidentally delivered my shoes to the house next door, I walk over to her house and see this… I don’t know how to feel,” joked the woman. The woman’s neighbor was trying on her shoes and didn’t want to give them back!
38. Gift Ideas
Somehow, we don’t think the store really thought the placement of this advertisement through. They never considered the fact that putting a sign that says “surprise her” right above a bunch of knives could be a bad look.
39. Hidden Pig
What do you think would be on the inside of a lawn ornament shaped like two frogs? If you guessed a pig playing a guitar, you guessed correctly. It’s pretty bizarre, but we’re sure there is a logical explanation.
40. Big Catch
Fishing in the jungle often comes with all sorts of fun surprises. This person caught a perch, only to find a small frog hidden in the fish’s mouth. The fish was recently snacking before it was caught.
41. Birthday Bash
Do you notice anything strange about this photo? It’s the man’s annual birthday party. He doesn’t have any real friends so he mainly spends that day hanging out with himself.
42. Icy Touch
These icicles formed into the shape of a hand. It’s a chilling sight and one of the coolest ice formations that we have ever seen. It seems like it could come alive at any second.
43. Apple Sprout
When your apple core has a tiny apple sprout inside of it, you know that you’re witnessing a miracle. It’s the miracle of life. From a small seed, great fruits emerge.
44. Boss’s New Outfit
Here we have the chief design engineer of the company. He looks surprisingly similar to a Lego man, and really, that’s why everyone loves him. He is always showing off his creative talents.
45. Informative Pockets
We suppose that it doesn’t really matter what material is used for the pockets of jeans. This company used old fabric with the periodic table of elements printed on it for their pockets. It’s so random, but in a way, really cool too.
46. Returned Driver’s License
Most surprises in the mail involve some sort of junk mail. However, occasionally, we get something really interesting delivered to us. For example, a letter from someone who has been committing crimes using our identity.
47. Porcupine Collision
This is what happens when you hit a porcupine with your car. It’s much worse than hitting other small animals. The quills alone will cause you all kinds of problems.
48. Buff Pig Squeaker
Inside this plush pig fitness toy was a fit pig. It was totally ripped. The pig had muscles that would make even the most athletic humans among us jealous.
49. Boyfriend Surprise
This girlfriend’s boyfriend thought that he would give her a nice surprise after work one day. He waited on the couch wearing his sexiest outfit. When she saw him, she was blown away by how awesome he is.
50. Golf Ball Discovery
Here we have a log with a golf ball lodged in the core of the trunk. It defies all logic. Yet, that’s clearly what it is. Fused in the center of the wood, the golf ball has remained for years, maybe even decades.
