People who really should have checked the background of their photos before putting them online.

But when I say it's just the pants making it look that way, no one believes me.

Dildos. Tampons. Grandparents. Butts. What do these things have in common? They are often in the backgrounds of photos taken by people who leave their dildos, tampons, old people and naked butts out so often they didn't even notice that they were there. As more and more of our lives are captured in photos and videos, the risk of our embarrassing personal items/body parts continues to rise, until finally we'll be forced to hide all of our embarrassing things before we turn on our devices every morning because the world is one giant webcam. On the other hand, it won't be all bad because we'll get to look at everyone else's embarrasing stuff. Like these folks:

Can we talk about the angle of that woman's arm? Definitely more disturbing than the coke.
 

I now realize all my friends' annoying gym statuses could be a lot worse.

I'm pretty sure that man just successfully shoplifted some produce in his pants.
