We frequently encounter less-than-ideal situations, and many of us respond by pretending that everything is fine ⏤ I know I do. With this coping mechanism in mind, here are 15+ examples of people who attempted to act like everything was okay, even when it clearly wasn’t!
“Terrifying.”

This is probably what Zoom meetings in Hell would be like featuring low-level demons and lost souls. I can imagine them saying, “Hey, Belphegor, you’re on mute! Please unmute your infernal microphone!”
“I wonder what the thought process here was.”

I think that the guy in the background’s expression somewhat perfectly sums up people’s internal responses to this dress.
“Lady and the tramp stamp…”

Sure, I find this joke amusing, but I’m not sure I’d want it permanently inked on my body!
“No explanation needed…”

Once you’ve thrown and lost one shoe, you might as well toss the other one too—unless you plan to hop all the way home!
“Always check the fine print…”

Call me crazy, but I believe that diarrhea is always an urgent situation!
“Picture on the website vs what was delivered.”

This is why you should never feed your Gremlin cakes after midnight. The one on the right becomes more terrifying the longer you stare at it!
“I got this question wrong…”

I wonder if they can appeal this kind of situation? They surely must be able to. At least, you’d hope so.
“Husband made a barrier, and these two are not happy about it.

“Do you consider this a joke, Allan?”
“Allan, beware! This poor resemblance won’t be overlooked. Stay vigilant about your shoes to avoid any mishaps.”
“Canadian public transport…”

I eagerly anticipate the day when machines gain full sentience, allowing them to sincerely apologize when they crash or make errors. Essentially, I just want my printer to understand the frustration it puts me through.
“After a huge meal (Schweinshaxe) in Berlin I asked for just a small beer. This is what the waiter brought me:”

Nothing beats a shot of beer to complement a hearty meal! It’s better than having no beer at all, I suppose.
“Literally being held by a thread.”

Someone proposed that this phone could function as a rear-view camera, and the idea seems quite clever the more I consider it!
“Local Church was vandalized today in my town. Young punks and their love of fine linen.”

I’ve always considered myself a connoisseur of comfort; there’s simply no lifestyle more cozy!
“I do calligraphy. I misplaced the circled in character, which is part of a 300-word scroll that I almost finished after 5 days of work, 200 characters in.”

I’ve always considered myself a lover of satin; there’s no lifestyle more comfortable, after all!
“DC condos really pretend that this is ok… 5’7″ man for scale).”

Hey, at least your chest will be spotless! Although, washing your hair under that might give you quite a sore back.
“Why you should never put dish soap in a fountain.”

Actually, that seems like a fantastic idea—it looks incredibly fun! Though, there’s bound to be someone who’ll caution me that it’s actually quite harmful to the fountain…
“Hey God, me again…”

It’s fortunate that more people are using GoPro cameras on their helmets. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the chance to be truly frightened by images like these.
“Hmm, ok never mind!”

Well, that’s quite a disturbing image. I’ll leave you to form your own conclusions on this one, I believe.
“A local baker decorated this cake and even took pictures before realizing it was the wrong side up.”

That’s an incredibly beautiful cake for a 22nd birthday, and it looks perfect even when viewed in a mirror!
“Didn’t work I guess…”

I suppose they must have sprayed everything else in the house, leaving only this bottle for their dog to chew on!
“Open and shut case!”

I can see how this poor little guy might think that this was his litterbox I guess. And, based on that potential mix-up, I would be wary of eating any of it.
