45 Moments That Made Us Go ‘Are You Trying To Tell Me Something?’

It is important to read into situations a lot of the time, as people or situations can often have much more subtle meanings than just the obvious ones!

However, sometimes situations can just be hilariously obvious, as these 17+ moments that made us go "are you trying to tell me something?" attest to!

"I am a lawyer, my son told me he had to tell me something, but first wanted me to sign this."

Reddit | nileyp

He's learning fast and is clearly taking after his father! I quite admire this kid's ingenuity, however I doubt that it worked!

"That's exactly what a box of drugs and money would say."

Reddit | Billith

"But, Dave, it says that it's only blood and urine kept in here?"

"That's a risk I'm willing to take, son. Hand me the crowbar... Nope, it's just blood and urine."

"They've been warned."

Reddit | addison_thorn

I think that, what they're secretly trying to tell you is that they are in need of medical attention for their bowel troubles.

"I bought my grandad a HUGE tub of his favourite chocolates and he emailed me this photo to tell me that he had finally finished them."

Reddit | salsachops

Something tells me that your grandfather may want another box of sweets! I don't know how I know, sometimes I can just read people's subtle cues. It's a gift.

"This makes me extremely dubious."

Reddit | Nemisii

It may as well just say in a nefarious voice, "Go on, give me your pin number. I won't tell anyone else, I promise!"

"Suspicious quotation marks."

Reddit | cfang

I don't think that the phrase "meat service" should ever be used really... There is something inherently creepy about it!

"My boss bought 50 chairs in an online auction. It wasn't until we went to pick them up that we realized it was at an elementary school."

Reddit | nevermatter

I know that a lot of bosses can be guilty of treating their employees like children, but this is just ridiculous!

"Usually my dog likes to chill on the porch. This is the path he made this morning after he realized how cold and snowy it was."

Reddit | POMONGLER

Looks like your dog might not be a fan of the snow. My dog is very much the same. He likes to be carried through the snow though.

"Am I supposed to chase away the geese, or do they read it and realize they are not supposed to be there?"

Reddit | fauxhb

"So, what's your story, Mr. Goat? I bet it's really interesting!"

Reddit | LuckyGreenLizard

I mean, if you're likely to be attacked by a leopard, then there is very little that a warning sign would say except, "RUN AWAY!"

"My 2 year old daughter asked for 'Chicken Cereal' took me a second to realize what she meant."

Reddit | nom_thee_ack

However, now that I think of it, why isn't there a chicken-flavored cereal? Probably because it would be disgusting... But still, they made Sour Patch Kids cereal so you never know.

"...and I'm immediately suspicious."

Reddit | mortodestructo

So...is it actually watermelon, or is it "watermelon," whatever that is...?

"My boss gave me a key to open this drawer, then started laughing hysterically when I tried unlocking it. I didn't realize why until now."

It's good that they don't really keep it locked as how else would the swim team get out?

Reddit | -insertrandomname-

Wow, the guy writing these fortunes cookies needs to seriously chill out. Don't be such a weirdo, man!

"Something tells me that you don't..."

Reddit | rhymingisfun

Someone did point out that they actually never claimed to be able to write it, only speak it! So, it might still be right...unlikely though.

Now, that is a sign that I can immediately get on board with. It sounds incredibly cathartic!

Hey, look, I just haven't gone out in a while, okay? And who am I to deny a spider whatever home he chooses?

"This is what you get when you order 'no lettuce' at Taco Bell."

I think this is more some employee passing judgment than anything else. "Oh, no lettuce? There's one actually healthy thing about these tacos and you want it gone? Alright, whatever you say, I guess."

"6 AM is way too early to be confronted with this metaphysical nightmare."

Reddit | obviousplant

I feel like I'm one of the few who would seriously rep for cauliflower. It's really good! Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely go for cookies before it, but it's still good!

"Fire Station tells it like it is."

Reddit | RCX42

I'm sure we've all wondered where the fire actually goes when firefighters contain it, and the truth is they keep it and give it back to rude "customers" who don't appreciate them enough.

"Stepped on a scale today after conscientious diet and exercise, and this is what I get."

"This is so metal."

Reddit | skonen_blades

I have been wanting a new tattoo lately, but I haven't been able to decide on what... And if this is what that shop specializes in, then maybe this is a sign. I have an appointment to make.

Reddit | TankTheTurtle

It's not like you can forget it if you wanted to since it'll be hanging over your head for the rest of your life. But...degrees, right?

You might want to check that candle, actually. Could be made from beeswax, which I'm pretty sure isn't vegan.

"Wisconsin ice cream truck speaking the truth."

Reddit | Valens

If I ever ask for nutritional info it's so I can pretend to ponder it before making the decision that "yeah, I deserve a treat," but I can't do that here. I'm just supposed to have to eat this ice cream with all my guilt intact? If that's what it takes...

"Can't tell if out of stock, or..."

Reddit | ZSCampbellcooks

For $1.98 that's an amazing deal. Most invisible cord on the market is still a little visible for nearly twice the price!
