Enjoy this joyful adventure through everyday oddities and moments of pure coincidence—tiny marvels, clever surprises, and accidental masterpieces of the ordinary world. Trust us, you won’t see these coming!
“Puddle looks like hole in chair”
Whoa, did someone take a bite out of that chair, or am I seeing things? For a split second, I honestly thought that was just a hole clean through the seat. That's some expert-level puddle camouflage—nature’s prank at its finest.
“It's 2025 and Walmart is selling the Wii U version of Just Dance 2017 for $59.96”
Is this what time travel looks like? It’s almost 2025 and Walmart is still selling Just Dance 2017 for the Wii U, and for $60. I guess this game is a true classic, or maybe there’s a secret Just Dance enthusiast working in the videogame aisle.
“Giant Leaf I found”
Okay, now that’s not a leaf, that’s a piece of the Giving Tree! I’d need both hands just to carry that thing around the yard. Imagine raking up a bunch of those—it would fill up a whole trash bag in one go.
“The Centurion Lounge at JFK just casually has an 800,000 Scoville unit hot sauce by the breakfast bar”
Breakfast…and immediate regret? An 800,000 Scoville unit hot sauce, just casually waiting by the bagels. Imagine putting that on your eggs thinking it was mild. That’s definitely a bold move for anyone feeling brave before a flight!
“shrimp that looks like a seahorse”
Wait, did I just pick up a tiny seahorse at dinner? Nope, just a shrimp with a curious sense of style. It’s almost too cute to eat—or maybe it’s just hoping to swim away from my plate at the last moment.
“Ordered purple Halloween lipstick from Amazon... came with a CVS sticker.”
I ordered purple Halloween lipstick for some spooky glam, but it showed up with a CVS sticker still on it? Did this lipstick get lost on its way to the drugstore? Not exactly the VIP Amazon experience I had in mind, but hey—at least it arrived.
“This man has a pet skunk”
Not your everyday pet! I mean, I had to do a double-take seeing someone gently carrying a skunk around like it’s a fluffy puppy. You’ve got to be pretty confident (or have really good insurance) to keep this little stinker as your best friend.
“this spilled coffee made a perfect coffee circle as it rolled on the pavement”
How satisfying is that perfect coffee circle on the sidewalk? Sometimes, even spilled coffee manages to be a work of art. If only it were this graceful when it tips over in my car on a Monday morning.
“Ibuprofen-based ink used on a postcard.”
A postcard you’re supposed to lick? And it’s printed with ibuprofen-based ink? That’s a creative cure for travel aches and pains, but I’m not sure my taste buds are ready for pharmaceutical stationary. New meaning to 'take two and call me in the morning.'
“The IV bruise on my hand 4 days after surgery.”
Ouch, that’s a gnarly bruise! Amazing (and a little unsettling) how four days after surgery, your hand can look like you tried out for a superhero origin story. Hope recovery comes with cooler-looking side effects next time.
“A hot air balloon landed in my neighbors yard.”
I was not expecting to look out my window and see a hot air balloon planted in the neighbor's yard. Maybe this is the hot new way to commute in style—or just a very dramatic way to ask for a cup of sugar.
“Squirrels have eaten approximately 30% of the steering wheel on my parent's lawnmower.”
I always knew squirrels could be destructive, but 30% of a lawnmower steering wheel? That’s some seriously determined rodent work. They’re probably out there holding tiny lawnmower races when we aren't watching.
“A store that sells only non-alcoholic beverages...named "Zero Proof"”
A store named Zero Proof that ONLY sells non-alcoholic beverages—I love the commitment to the theme! When you want the vibe but not the buzz, this place has your back. Now that’s a sober party starter.
“My doctor's office keeps a smelling salt capsule taped under a desk”
The next time you drop by your doctor’s office, check under the nearest desk—there might be an emergency smelling salt capsule taped right underneath. Just in case the paperwork ever gets too overwhelming, I guess.
“Truck lifts itself up to bring the back ramp down to the ground. Bangkok, Thailand.”
I thought I understood how trucks worked until I saw one lift itself into a tilt like a transformer. That’s some next-level loading technique! Bangkok streets just casually flexing on rest of the world.
“Saw a squirrel sneaking past this red tail hawk, while walking home from work.”
It’s like a wildlife action movie in slow motion: one squirrel sneaking past a totally clueless hawk. Sometimes, the small and scrappy outmaneuver the big and bold—nature’s version of spy versus spy.
“This was a commercial flight with me and another passenger only. Flight service was a cooler behind my seat. Luggage behind the tarp.”
Booked a commercial flight, ended up with a private plane experience—except my snack service is a cooler on the floor and the luggage rides behind a tarp. Who needs business class when you get this much legroom?
“Orange TicTacs in Canada are white and the lid is orange. In the US they are orange and the lid is white”
So in Canada, orange Tic Tacs are white with an orange lid, but in the US, they’re orange with a white lid? This is the kind of subtle international mystery that keeps me up at night—and keeps customs agents on their toes.
“My dermatologist sells hats”
Why does my dermatologist have a whole rack of stylish hats for sale? Suddenly my appointment feels a lot more like a fashion boutique. Stay sun-safe and fabulous, apparently!
“Took a day trip to a farmstand today. Their vidalia onions all had labels on them like this and no other fruit or vegetable did, not even other onions.”
These Vidalia onions must be on a VIP list—every single one has a label like it’s going to a fancy party, while all the other produce is just chilling bare. Clearly the celebs of the vegetable world.
“My Japanese sweet potato looked like a bird”
For a second there, I thought someone slipped a small bird into the sweet potato basket. Mother Nature has some real fun with shapes, and today it’s showing off its avian potato impression.
“Tape dispenser broke open to reveal plaster that looks like cheese”
Cracked open my tape dispenser expecting chaos, but instead got a perfect wedge of... cheese? Nope, that’s just the plaster inside. Office supplies should not be allowed to look this snackable.
“This label inside a kid’s rain jacket.”
Now that’s a jacket label with some personality. If found, please return—plus ratings for 'good as new' or 'still got adventure'! Jackets deserve a little love, too; let’s normalize the long life of outerwear.
“These absured snack prices at a water park hotel.”
Snack prices at this water park hotel are so wild they could be part of the rides. Seven dollars for water? At these rates, they’d better serve popcorn with a side of swimming lessons.
