Some people are naturals when it comes to being in front of the camera. But sometimes a shot is framed in a way that takes the viewers attention somewhere else.
Now that we’re into the digital era, you can take a ton of photos all at once, making sure you get it right (remember back in the day when you had to wait for your film to come back to check and see if you got a good one?).
But these 60 people still managed to miss a little something when snapping their photos. Whether it’s a reflection or a photobomb or just an accidental flasher walking by, these photo fails are sure to give you a laugh.
The man in the back is perfectly positioned to look like a tiny person riding the woman off to the left.
Once you see it, it’s all you’ll notice!
2. Wholesome family photo
What can we say, it was a windy day and at least the kids didn’t turn around in time to see the full moon.
Well, if you think baby giraffes are cute, I guess at some point you have to learn how they’re made.
Next time you’re trying to look super cute for your Instsa audience, it’s best to make sure your extra-embarrassing and totally hilarious dad isn’t trolling you in the background.
5. I wear my sunglasses…in the bathroom
We’re not sure why this guy needs sunglasses in the bathroom OR why he doesn’t notice the man using the urinal in the background.
Selfie fail on so many levels.
6. We hope that’s not her hairdresser
We just hope she didn’t tag the salon in this photo. Or anyone else for that matter.
We wonder how many times this guy walked by this stretch of beach.
A proud grandma will always be there to help you take photos for your dating profile.
9. How do you not notice this?
We wonder just how long this photo stayed up before anyone noticed the person in the background.
Then again, if you use the bathroom with the door open, you’re obviously not that worried about people seeing you in there.
This is part of the reason we just don’t get bathroom selfies – there’s always something embarrassing in there.
In this case, the damage is minimal since cats have no sense of shame.
Frankly, we’re more perplexed by the crop top while her friend is wearing extra fuzzy uggs and a short skirt in the background.
Is it warm or cold outside?
The original poster apparently had this on their refrigerator for years before they saw there was a third person in the photo.
We just hope she got away in time to not have to talk to the guy checking her out in the mirror.
We’re referring to the humans in front, not the amorous couple behind them.
15. When ya gotta go ya gotta go
To be fair, there’s no where else to pee when you’re on a small boat. This is just bad timing.
And then there’s the small matter of what’s going on with that golf cart in the background.
One too many beers out on the course?
17. Definitely the best and most dressed in the family
Some families have totally different boundaries and we’re just impressed that this guy is so proud of his dapper son that he failed to notice his reflection in the mirror.
Don’t you feel a breeze when that much of your backside is hanging out?
What a sweet photo…until you look to the left. Then we’re just confused as to why anyone would do this in public.
Everyone has their own way of celebrating the end of the school year.
Champagne and porn is certainly one way.
21. Pet and smoke free home
It’s always good to be honest, especally if you’re not smart enough to hide the evidence of your lies.
That’s some bad road rash. It apparently hurts so much he doesn’t realize his pants are falling down.
Nice try, but those bills don’t seem like the right size anyway.
I guess people are right when they say your Internet persona is mostly fantasy.
We would really like to think this dog is making fun of the girls trying to take cute photos of themselves. Or maybe he or she just wanted to be in the shot.
Either way, it’s priceless. (And we did save the best dog photobomb for last, so keep clicking!)
Well, sir, you do look rather fine in that jacket. But can we also recommend some pants?
Or at least moving a bit to your right so we can’t see your behind in the mirror.
Baby feet are adorable – unless you think they’re something else at first!
27. Look, honey, the moon!
A cute picture of a lovely little girl, but we can’t help wondering if this isn’t framed to get the moon shot in the background.
Maybe the dog was mad at not being invited into the shot. Either way, it got its revenge in the background.
But does this ruin the photo or make it a classic?
29. A warning of what’s to come
To be fair, she’s going to be dealing with a lot of poop in the next few years, so this was more of a portent than a photobomb.
30. What kind of monster?!
If you buy anything from this person, part of the deal should be that they put on some shoes before answering the door.
Actually, just don’t buy anything from this person. We think the hygiene issue alone should be enough to dissuade you.
It’s sad that everyone thinks they need to look skinny before they post a photo online. But if you’re going to contribute to the problem, it might be best that everyone knows you’re faking it.
This girl’s friends called her out on it and she blamed filters – but no filter changes your body shape.
No use in taunting your family if you’re too clueless to cover up the information you’re trying to keep a secret.
But congratulations on the little girl!
To be fair, this is no one’s best shot. But we truly worry about the guy in the background’s surfing skills if he’s managed to wipe out in waist-deep water.
We actually just hope this mistake allowed some friends to reach out and help.
It’s amazing to look back on old Easter photos and see just how bizarre some of those bunnies looked.
I mean, we know the bunny has to breathe, but does he have to look so creepy while doing it?
There’s always THAT friend around to ruin a perfectly good photo.
We kind of love that friend.
Gee, we wonder why this person’s license was revoked.
Could it be becuse they’re reading their mail while going 40mph?
That’s some unfortunate tree placement.
We really hope Forget Me Not is a shoe store.
You can always leave it to some friend to find the perviest thing in a photo.
In this case, the issue is in the foreground and once you see it, you really can’t unsee it.
40. Congratulations from Freddie Kruger
Pretty sure this one had to be staged for a Friday the 13th wedding.
We hope.
41. Leggings aren’t pants
I don’t know how many times we have to say it.
But this is why we have to say it.
42. Fresh beer, full moon
There are a surprising number of people with their backsides hanging out in the background of photos.
We’ve seen plumbers with better self-awareness than this guy.
Someone definitely caught that chair at the right – or wrong – angle!
Yep, we’d be screaming.
But we’re also impressed that the photographer was so committed to taking a bunch of selfies that she failed to notice her friend’s escalating reaction.
Maybe she just planned to crop her out later anyway.
45. When you’re SO over other people’s vanity
Honey, it’s time to let the dog in and hold off on the selfies for a while.
Oh, no big deal here in the background. Just some people stuffing a baby into a cannon. Totally normal, you know? We’re hoping the poor kid just didn’t get stuck.
The man in front is now stuck with this unfortunate photo. First off, the stance itself is very strange and unflattering. Second, the girl’s foot dangling behind him makes it look like he has a very large member hanging from his shorts.
48. Just some casual browsing
This girl, for some reason, decided to take a selfie indoors with her sunglasses. But, what she didn’t realize, was that the reflection in the sunglasses would reveal her internet browsing content. Very revealing.
49. Not from a drug-free home
While snapping a photo of their Frozen DVD for sale, they forgot to put down their crack pipe. Makes you re-think giving them money and also–should someone be concerned about their kids?
50. What are you guys do-?! Oh, it’s a shadow
If someone were to just see the shadow of this two beer pong players, they would think something very different was going on. Friends were just trying to capture of a photo of a fun game, and the shadow just had to ruin it.
51. Just throwin’ the baby around
Throwing around a toddler is totally normal right? Someone snapped a photo of this guy but ended up catching another strange moment instead. We hope that guy had a firm grip on that toddler.
52. Showing off the wine glasses
Two wine glasses? Or two butt cheeks? How did this person not notice their friend or girlfriend bending over with a serious whale tail from her thong underwear?! And to post it on Facebook?! Come on now.
53. Showing off the wine glasses
Two wine glasses? Or two butt cheeks? How did this person not notice their friend or girlfriend bending over with a serious whale tail from her thong underwear?! And to post it on Facebook?! Come on now.
If there was ever an example of sharing too much information – this is it. The unfortunate part is that this person forgot to clear their search bar before screenshotting and posting. It didn’t go unnoticed.
The man in the back with the striped cap has no idea that he’s turned into a fun “Where’s Waldo?” cartoon. Except, he really isn’t hard to find this time.
56. Maybe someone should report this?
A fun photo at an outing captures a creepy dude snapping upskirt photos of women. Instead of posting this to Facebook, maybe send it to the local police?
How fun! A girl’s night out to the Vikings game! Let’s take a photo! But when they zoom in, they’ll get a scary little surprise from that young boy in the background staring directly into the lens.
58. Where does grandma live?
Do some of the people in grandma’s community practice nudism? Or, is this just a fluke day? A nice family photo was ruined by a couple of bums in the background.
59. She seriously didn’t notice?
This woman seemed to have been too focused on her own skin condition that she failed to notice the naked man right beside her. We have no idea how, but she did, and then posted on Facebook.
60. When you gotta go, you gotta go
She’s almost ready to give birth so a pregnancy shot at 40 weeks is appropriate. But, thanks to the family dog, they’ll need to re-do the shot.
Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
