Your best evidence of the human condition in picture form. Let's keep it to pictures that you have actually taken. We've all seen the fail pictures on google. Go.

On a job site one time I saw a cardboard box labeled "fire balloons". I'm not sure what is was but I really wanted to snap a picture and look inside. I forgot to take a picture though. [emoji91] [emoji324]

I've had had one more bourbon after dinner, I would have actually posted the picture of my ex-wife, instead of just thought about it.

Me to boss: I need more client folders.
Boss: which ones? The Manila folders? The hanging file folders?
Me to boss: well, I could use more hanging file folders, too, but I need client folders, like the ones with the two hole clips on the end and multiple dividers.
Boss: which ones? What color are they?
Me to boss: I don't care. They come in lots of colors.
Boss: Can you send me a picture?
And that's how I ended up with two pictures of an empty folder on my phone.

I saw the "don't stand on the sit-down toilet" one in a hotel in Hanoi a few years back.
It was clearly for the guests- the locals are very proud of their flush toilets.
(And Bidets. They are pretty French still when it comes to matters of the water closet.)

All from Qatar:
Dude riding on a wheeled crane/excavator thingy's fender while it's being driven down the road at roughly 60mph:

Safety regs are basically non-existent, so of course there's no designated beach areas for picnics & swimming vs 4-wheeling. A Pakistani guy was wheeling his SUV a bit close to the water line and got stuck. Like real stuck. I watched the attempts to unstick him resulted in broken ropes, much arm flailing, and frantic pointing at the incoming tide.
http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb183/Docwagon1776/Shared/Beach%20Picnic%209_zpsapgvhpuo.jpg
Finally they got him unstuck by pulling him through someone else's picnic, which was sort of calm/in shock at first but then resulted in much arm flailing and shouting:

Light was coming off of Lake Erie and I was into HDR pics at the time but this image was actually nearly what I saw, minimal editing happened. Mailbox blue was made a little more intense.

New downpipe for the car at the time, was playing with long exposures to see if a tripod was stable enough. For whatever reason I saved it to my Flickr.

Grandma needed a new well and I was screwing around and snapped this. I kinda dug it but I have no real reason to have taken it.

This image (in post 29) likely referred to the National Recovery Administration, an early 1930s era agency started under the Roosevelt administration (I think during the first 100 days). Lots of alphabet soup federal entities created during that time. More info at the link below.
