Photos That Make You Wonder “What Were They Thinking?”
There are images that fill us with awe or laughter and need no context. There are human decisions that lead us to wonder what people were thinking when they made choices that defy common sense.
These photos show everyday situations where people don't consider the consequences of their decisions, making them incomprehensible.
In the following collection of images, you'll see painted electrical outlets that render them unusable, poorly designed bathrooms where the door won't close due to miscalculation, someone leaving an ice cream cone in the wrong place at the supermarket, or absurd situations like reversing the keys on a keyboard.
These pictures baffle us with aesthetic choices that weren't reviewed or objects whose use no one thought through.
