People Who Had No Plans About Getting Caught In The Act, But Here We Are
Right time, right place... or is it wrong place, wrong time? Nonetheless, timing is everything and can make for some entertaining pictures. Whether it's picking your nose in public or getting caught stealing chapstick from the convenience store, there are always people doing things they shouldn't be doing— it's just whether we find them or not.
This list is a hilarious compilation of the best "caught in the act" moments that are absolute gold. Enjoy.
The Dark Side
Look, the world is split in half between Pepsi drinkers and Coke drinkers. You drink one or the other, but never both. When you go to a restaurant and ask for a Pepsi and the server says "Is Coke okay?" your next reply should be, "no, is Monopoly money okay?" We will never be fully united as a human race because of these companies.
Oops, Didn't See You
This boyfriend was in full vacation mode, which to him meant getting drunk and making awful decisions. He forgot that he had placed his girlfriend on his shoulders and went in for the kill on another party-goer. A quote from the movie Dodgeball explains this situation well — 'That's a bold move, Cotton."
"Just Being Friends"
This is just some reinforcement as to why cats should've never been domesticated. They feel no shame when they slurp up the family lizard like it's a spaghetti noodle. These are the eyes of an animal who is daring you to take a picture of it eating the lizard because it's going to be the last thing you ever do.
"I am Hot"
When it's the middle of summer and it's scorching hot, sometimes the only thing to do is jump into the fridge and grab a quick bite to eat. It's an embarrassing last report to cool down your body temperature, so getting caught warrants itself to this exact face from the pup. It gets an "A" for effort though.
"I Am A Dog"
Look, cats aren't as fun, happy, excited, or even as respectful as dogs (sorry cat lovers). Cats are always plotting the murder of their owners — it's a fact. They don't like humans, they just tolerate them. They have no issue stealing food, or stealing lives, away from anyone and anything. This cat was luckily caught in the act.
Presidential Sleep
Being in the same room as the President of the United States usually sends a shockwave of energy through a room. Ignorance is bliss for this kid though, who couldn't care less if the POTUS is in the building, because he needs his sleep. He's not about to lose that recommended eight hours of sleep just because the most powerful man in the world is around. No way.
Social Media Call Out
There's nothing more embarrassing than getting called out on social media. It's degrading, it's petty, and everyone sees it. It's not like getting called out in a school hallway when only five or six people see. Legitimately everyone witnesses the lambasting and, yes, she could delete it, but that usually makes it worse because it infers guilt.
Uh Oh Tommy
Yeah, this isn't exactly how Tommy saw things going. Here are a few things Tommy can do to avoid the public backlash he's about to endure. He can buy a plane ticket to Estonia (because literally, no one knows where that is). He can dig a tunnel system similar to that of El Chapo, all the way to Estonia. Or he can run to Estonia. Either way, he needs to go to Estonia.
Contradiction King
I don't care how careful with food you are, there comes a moment when the craving for a Mcdonald's burger just gets too intense and you have to give in. This person is non-gmo, and it's safe to say that Mcdonald's probably isn't your one-stop-shop for non-gmo food items. Nonetheless, they caved to their cravings and it's hard to blame them.
My Eyes Are Up Here
There's no way this kid is going to get caught looking down. This is the facial expression that best describes a deer caught in the headlights. This is probably his third cousin, to which he is thinking in his head, "THIRD? That's not even really my cousin at that point. It's fine."
Hiding All The Goods
This is the smartest dog bone smuggler in the game right now. These types of bones are getting more and more expensive and the canine community is looking for other alternatives. They've started looking for gently-used bones to snag for half the price of a new one. Unfortunately for Al CaBONE, he's been compromised from an internal source.
Kids Get Away With Everything
Why do kids get away with everything they do? For example, this little guy probably was told "no" ONCE, and then fed a bazillion baby crackers when he's not even hungry. If I did this in my mom's Tupperware cabinet I would be thrown out of the house so quickly, with no chance to even explain my reasoning. Double standards I tell you.
The Worst Pet
Can we talk about how awful cats are? Not only do they plot your death in the most gruesome way possible, but they also steal from babies. Anything that steals from a baby is no friend of mine. Especially if they are silent assassins that are studying my every move leading up to their inevitable attack.
Cannibalism
Yes, this may look like it's just a domesticated dog who barks at its own tail and pees occasionally on the carpet, but this is actually a dog that feeds on savagery. This picture was taken post-feast on a Barbie doll, and in case you've never seen the color of Barbie's blood, well, there you go.
Keychain Stealing
When times are tough, times are tough. Just ask this keychain who has missed three rent payments in a row and is due to go to court if he misses his next one. After being put in a pocket and unsupervised, he decided he needed to act quickly and steal as much money as he possibly can. Unfortunately, he was caught. Better luck next time.
Coming up is the most discomforting picture ever taken in a prison. It's actually kind of funny, to be honest, and it's just ahead.
Work Tirelessly
If you've ever been a landscaper, you know that it's absolutely exhausting to be working outside all day. Sometimes, the best remedy is to just have a quick 10-minute cat nap on the job. Most of the time they don't have to worry about being caught, but this landscaper left an imprint that is easy to decipher.
Bae Caught Me Slippin
This girl claims that her bae took this picture of her when she fell asleep, but the mirror never lies. Sleeping selfies have become very common among couples because apparently, we feel the need to share what we look like when we sleep. This is wrong because sleeping selfies are mind-numbingly boring to look at. Case and point above.
Wrong Place To Fall Asleep
So this is about the most uncomforting picture that I've seen in a while. When your job is to ensure that the most violent prisoners in the country are contained in the jail, it's probably not a great idea to pass out on the job. Get coffee, get a Red Bull, get an electric collar that shocks you every time you doze off — DO SOMETHING.
Instagram Boyfriend
With the quick emergence of social media, boyfriends have seen their relationship workload increase significantly. A new brand of boyfriends has come about — the "Instagram Boyfriend". These are the guys who follow their girlfriends around to parks like the one above JUST to get a good picture for her to be able to post on Instagram.
Making Cake
This is what happens when you have three people who don't know how to bake a cake. They wanted to surprise their mom with a nice rainbow colored cake for her birthday, but instead, they found themselves in a snowstorm, apparently. These girls are destined to be the flour girls at their uncle's wedding next summer. Get it?
"If I Remain Still Maybe They Won't See Me"
We all know that when we see our toilet paper rolled onto the floor there's only one culprit to blame: our cats. Usually, they're gone by the time you lay eyes on the crime, but this little kitten was actually caught in the moment. Maybe he thinks he'll be invisible if he doesn't make any movements but make no mistake little cat, we got you now!
"I'm Not Ready Yet!"
Most moms wait for the day they find their little ones scrounging around in their makeup supply. This little girl was caught red-handed with half of mommy's makeup bag scattered all across the floor! Good thing she was caught before she actually started putting stuff on, although we bet Mom would have laughed when she saw that.
"I Can Haz Bred?"
Nope, those puppy dog eyes aren't going to work on us this time buddy. No matter how cute and sad you look at the same time, the fact is that you're caught red-pawed! Don't even try to act like you were just helping me bring the groceries in because you and I both know you would have torn that loaf apart if I hadn't walked back into this room!
The Lengths They'll Go To
She had the perfect plan. The second Mommy went into the bathroom she ran into the kitchen. She had precisely 3 minutes to scoot her favorite dinner chair over to the counter, giving her the perfect boost onto the counter – those tiny tot gymnastics sure came in handy! Finally, she reached the bag of gold, but at what cost?
This Is My House Now
This pug shows no remorse for having chewed up the house plant. He thought it was about time that you caught him too. Now you're aware who's really running things around here and the expression in his eyes expects you to understand that completely. He knows you're mad about your plant and the fact you'll have to clean up all the leaves he chewed, but he still expects his dinner in his bowl by 5 p.m.
Her Hands Are Literally Red
This young lady actually managed to steal her mommy's lipstick and have a go at it too! By the time she was caught it was too late. She definitely tried to see if this was her color, but she also had to make sure by smearing it all over her hands and face! Another classic milestone for little girls everywhere.
"Oh Squirt, Why Have You Forsaken Me?"
This baby boy thought he was slick when he thought he was going to sneak a sugary soda when Mom wasn't looking. To Mom's amusement though, he actually got his hand stuck in the box which likely caused him to freak out! Looks like his soda break didn't go according to plan but Mom has this moment to look back on and laugh at for the rest of his life.
It's Called Quality Control
This little girl most definitely wasn't eating melted chocolate and sprinkles out of a cup, here mother says. If that wasn't the case – which it definitely was not – then we can only assume that she was performing quality control tests to see if her mom knew what she was doing in making these chocolate treats.
"The Old Color Was So Drab"
She decided to do her parents a favor and start color swatching some new options for their living room wall. The taupe color that was already there didn't really spark joy in this one, who decided that a fun chocolate-orange color would better set the tone for the room. She's smiling here but she doesn't understand why there's steam coming out of Mommy's ears.
Just Trying To Help
There's really nothing to see here, I was just trying to take your dirty dish back to the sink because it seemed like you were finished with it. I most definitely wasn't going to take this back to my secret spot to chew it up and try to lick the inside. Nope, that was definitely not my motive for jumping onto your desk while you were in the bathroom.
I Knew You Didn't Hate The Cat
This girl's boyfriend was caught taking a picture with their shared cat even though he swore he didn't even like the cat. He insists that they only got the cat to keep her happy but it wasn't long before he fell in love. He thought he could get away with taking a selfie with his new best friend and now they both have proof that this friendship exists.
"Um, I Thought You Were Asleep"
This dog's humans were alarmed when he heard scuffling downstairs. Thinking it was a burglar, they took immediate action and headed cautiously towards the commotion. But as they neared the kitchen, growling grew more audible and a horrible stench wafted into their noses. Soon it was all clear. Looks like someone found out how to access the kitchen trash cans.
Just Keeping It Safe
These kids were looking all over for their Captain America action figure and would not let their parents take them to school until it was found. They were five minutes away from a meltdown until they found their toy with the family dog! He insists that he was just "keeping it warm" for them, but the look on his face tells us otherwise.
"No One Would Tell The Difference"
This guy took a picture next to a mound of sand out in their yard, much to the confusion of his friends. One look at his Snapchat story would reveal that he was trying to pretend he was on a tropical vacation for summer break and not stuck at home in their same old boring town. Too bad we all know the truth now.
"Um, Excuse Me?"
This person was busy toiling away at the day's work when suddenly, a fuzzy little paw reached out from behind the monitors to snatch their muffin! This cat thinks it's being sneaky, but little does he know that his human is watching this whole sequence of events unfold. Just another example of why cats can be the worst sometimes!
Scrambled Eggs Anyone?
This little boy decided to wake up before everyone else and make everyone breakfast! On the menu this morning: scrambled eggs! He had the right idea until he forgot that the eggs should probably go in a pan or a bowl before they went on the floor. But hey, you can't blame kids for only reaching what they can at their heights!
"Cake? What Cake?"
You can't leave this cat alone with a cake for two minutes before he attempts to get his face all over it! He knows he's caught but in his eyes, he's still calculating ways to make this seem like he's not at fault. Never mind the fact that there's frosting all over his whiskers and he's literally standing above the cake, he thinks there's a way out of this.
"I Needed Better Lighting"
It's not always the cats that manage to mess up our bathroom tissue. Some mischievous pups have a penchant for toilet paper too. After this little guy was done licking out of the bowl, he needed to wipe up his mouth and couldn't help but take it a step further and bring the paper out into the hallway! He didn't think he was doing anything wrong until his human appeared upset...
"Just Act Natural"
This person found their dog attempting to get his paws on stuff that was on the bathroom counter until he heard his human coming. At that point he had no other choice but to act completely natural as if nothing suspect was going on. What does he decide to do? Pretend he's sleeping... standing up.
What's This?
This person was busy toiling away at their homework when suddenly a fuzzy paw came out from nowhere and slyly snatched their pen away. Upon further investigation, this cat was caught red-pawed and the look on her face tells us she truly wasn't expecting this. The question now is whether she'll let you have that pen back or if she'll continue to play with it.
