Hilarious Times People Just Plain Went For It

Every now and then, everybody gets an idea that's too good to pass up. When opportunity knocks, it's no good to let it slip through one's fingers.

However, that's not to say that those opportunities don't carry any risks. But for these people who went all in and kept their eyes on the prize, the risk was worth it.

That's an interesting theory

After coming across this unusual bench in a train station, Reddit user AJAX1814 decided that it was built for people relieved to finally have room for their magnificent posteriors.

However, that fun idea is probably nowhere near the truth. As far as anyone can tell, it's a child's seat on a bench that's otherwise adult-sized. Sorry to disappoint.

From the looks of things, this cut-out was intended to fool people into slowing down. Of course, it doesn't take long for people who pass by it every day to get wise to it.

However, it turns out that was only step one of the plan because now there's a real vehicle behind it, ready to enforce the laws they think they're too clever for. Delightfully devilish.

They're not the only ones who can misinterpret the world

Some people love trolling Flat Earthers with a picture of dinosaurs being thrown from a flat model of the planet by a meteor, but even great bits get old after a while.

If they want to insist the Earth has no curvature no matter what, then others can pretend tornadoes are just a very unruly stand for the globe. Seems fair.

There are some mixed messages here

It's not often that a road sign encourages people to speed up when there's a hazard in play, but that seems to be what's happening here.

Although most drivers roll their eyes at signs like these, this one must feel like they can go a little faster as a treat. Who cares if it doesn't make sense?

Normally, that cat's claws would be in exactly the position to make most guys stand like statues until the cat mercifully loses interest.

Yet, not only does this mad lad tempt the cat to scratch down on the most sensitive area it can with a fish, but that fish is probably how it got into this position in the first place. Is he a masochist?

It may be pretty gruesome at times, but 1999's The Mummy holds up well. And, of course, how can anyone turn down Brendan Fraser's boyish charms?

That said, if we measured our obligations in whether they were better than watching The Mummy, we'd never get anything done. It's a good thing they didn't have The Mummy when they were making it.

However, she wasn't letting that get her down. If nothing else, it gave her an idea she could laugh all the way to physiotherapy about.

Visitors in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, might come across an unusual statue of a legendary figure known as the Mothman. But one visitor's interest wasn't purely paranormal.

ADVERTISEMENT

Apparently, somebody noticed that the artist behind this statue gave the Mothman quite the posterior. So this prankster decided to accentuate its goods with a "tramp stamp."

What even is this?

At a flea market in Pasadena, California, someone presented the wicker basket they made and the little friend they've got sitting on top of it. Well, either that or it's using the basket as a toilet.

Unfortunately, what it is is about as unclear as what it's supposed to be doing. But while it looks creepy, there's something about it that makes it tempting to buy. Dark magic, maybe?

When people see someone with really long nails, they often wonder how that person can comfortably use the bathroom. Not only is that also true here, but where do they wear these?

It's pretty easy to see a dentist getting a kick out of these, but it's hard to think of any other occasions where this is appropriate attire. Don't forget to brush your nails!

At least their judgment is silent. It takes a bit of the sting out of things when they can't say a sentence that starts with "Um, actually."
