Photos of people and animals who totally have their priorities straight

If you grew up in the '90s, you might remember that classic Harry Potter scene where Hermione warns, "I’m going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled." And Ron’s quick comeback? “She needs to sort out her priorities.”

Just like Hermione, the people—and animals—we’re about to see definitely could use a little help prioritizing. Whether it’s a confused dog wandering aimlessly, a solitary pretzel abandoned on the floor, or a girl going all out to save a seat for a friend, these snapshots perfectly capture some hilariously mixed-up priorities.

Sometimes fashion takes the lead over function. Sure, he could've just worn a plain mask—but where’s the fun (or fame) in that? Instead, he went all out rocking a full scuba suit—and the internet loved it.

It's probably not great for his teeth or whatever surface he drops the brick on, but I don't know if it's fair to separate a dog from his favorite toy...

This might be the most specific bumper sticker we've ever seen.

I would not rather be watching The Mummy, so I will refrain from honking at this time. I'm just not a Brendan Fraser fan.
