13+ People Standing So Weirdly In Public That We Can’t Stand It

Blame boredom, fatigue, or just plain laziness, but these people are really defying gravity and all elements of physics in the ways they chose to stand.

We found ourselves scratching our heads at how they even managed to get in these strange positions. We're just glad that someone was there to capture these human anomalies and share them on an Instagram page entirely dedicated to people standing weird in public.

Maybe He'll Get His Order Faster This Way

Apparently, it was too much effort for this man to walk one step over to the left to the open window.

Yet, he expects that if he speaks into it that his order will be hurried up.

One-On-One Learning

When they said that kids benefit from one on one learning, bursting their personal bubble probably wasn't what they meant.

In a pandemic world, seeing a teacher get this close to a student almost feels like watching a sci-fi movie.

This Is Just Gross

We have a lot of questions for this man but first of all, why? Why not just use the bathroom like a normal person?

We get that everyone wants to be unique and live life by their own rules but can we still keep the basics standardized?

Barely Hanging On

This is likely an accurate description of everyone was working from home during the pandemic and was asked to return back to the office.

This man might just be trying to force his body to make it through the door.

Got It All Twisted Up

This is also the position I get into when I really need to use the bathroom but have to hold it.

It's like it somehow gets rid of all my leg muscles and I become able to twist myself like this woman.

If the point of this store was to market jeans to those with leg injuries then they nailed it.

If this was meant for the average everyday person, then we'll just add it to the list of unrealistic beauty expectations in the fashion industry.

Who Needs Chairs?

Who needs chairs when you can sit on your stilettos?

Some of us can't even walk in these for more than an hour without stumbling around, while some can apparently sit one-legged on these and be fine.

Always In Third Position

If there's one thing I learned from musicals, it's that you never know when the moment calls to just break out in song and dance in public with a magical record playing the background music.

ADVERTISEMENT

That would be the explanation behind why this man is standing in third position.

When a girl wants attention from her boyfriend, you can bet that she will find a way.

If that means literally throwing herself at him—and risking falling on the ground—then so be it.

Practicing The Limbo

How low can you go? Apparently trying to write on the lower half of a whiteboard will give you the answer.

Imagine being a teacher and still trying to be taken seriously after standing like this.

Werk It Baby

The age of kids posing for the camera is just getting lower and lower apparently. Twelve-year-old girls already have way better style, rhythm, and social media careers than we ever did.

Now even babies are already getting started.

We don't recommend you try this pose unless you don't mind walking around with a fractured hip for the rest of the day.

We're just impressed that this man is flexible enough to practically be doing the splits casually.

Making Our Brain Hurt

If you haven't already noticed, this girl's feet are not facing the same way as the rest of the body.

It's not even just a slight twist either, it looks like half her body is facing a completely different direction.

Defying Gravity

If this man is tired, we see an empty chair right beside him that he could've used for a minute to rest.

We're not sure how long he'll be able to stand sideways before gravity finally pushes him down to the ground.

Getting In A Clear Mindset

Voting is a big deal and it's not always an easy decision.

Nothing like doing a little yoga on the spot, getting in the tree pose to really clear your mind and help you make the right decision.

Blame The Machine

In this man's defense, whoever decided to set up an ATM there clearly missed a few calculations.

Perhaps there was some miscommunication between the bank and the construction company so this is likely a common standing stance for the ATM users.
