15+ Times People Thought They Were Tricking Us

Even if one sharp-eyed commenter hadn't pointed out the photographic proof that he wore them, they're definitely not still in the box.

Like, is the box invisible?

We may not have the most well-funded education system in the world, but I'm pretty sure most Americans know there's no "R" in the word "assembly."

I'm not sure what kind of galaxy brain calculations allow people to save a dollar by paying 30 cents more, but this seems like the opposite of a sale.

The person in blue turned out to be right and I can only credit their keen observational skills here because it didn't seem so easy to spot to me.

Sadly, I have some serious doubts that a Smart car will rev as hard as a Harley will and that's almost half the point, isn't it?

Perhaps a bright yellow sign wasn't the best cover this officer could've gone with, but it also seems to be the style around these parts.

The only problem is that I wouldn't even want invisible socks if there was such a thing. Isn't it already hard enough to find our socks after we do laundry?

Sure, we can clearly see a pile of empty cheese doodle bags, but that's just because he's already eaten as many as he can stand.

That is, unless he didn't eat all of these at once, but anyone who believes that is simply no fun.

Triathlons seem like a better idea when you're already in shape, after all. You've got to walk before you can run, cycle and swim, right?

Sure, sand and rocks can be made from the same materials, but only one of them needs to be ground down to get the other.

I guess it's good that they didn't hide this problem very well or else this person would've got home before they found out.

For anyone who's confused, this sign is apparently intended to tell snowplows not to dump their catch here.

And they would've gotten away with it and if weren't for those meddling brightly-colored drinks. Yeah, maybe pick a different aisle.

Because if people already don't like it when the guy in the next stall talks on his phone, I doubt him shouting "flush please" over and over again will go down any easier.

Sure, it may have been obvious to 11 people that this was the entire bit, but they still got those other four's hopes up for nothing.

Tsk tsk.

For one thing, it was clearly made in Minecraft, but they said it was made in Java for some reason.

Oh, and there's also the little matter of the fact that this Barbie logo was next to the house in the thumbnail of the YouTube video in which someone else actually made it.

Oops.

Presumably, he's got some sort of trick where his assistant levitates, but here it just looks like she has really good balance.

Which is still kind of impressive, I suppose, but it kills the magic a little.

After all, I personally couldn't abide any enhancement that comes at the cost of a poor horse's legs. There's no way it can run like this.

I can see it. After all, there's something very flattering about someone going to all this trouble to pretend they talked to you.

However, he accidentally taught us all a very important lesson. If you need to convince someone you're stuck in traffic, take off your sunglasses first.

That's right, literally everybody in the picture noticed them. I guess that shutter click was louder than expected.

Nature hikes are great and all, but what's the point when a scenic backyard can get you the same number of Instagram likes?

This entry in the "bae caught me slippin'" collection features a very convincing facial expression.

Unfortunately, as so many promising examples have been before him, his valiant attempt was thwarted by that dastardly mirror.

If you're going to pretend to be a boxer, wouldn't it help to go with almost any pair of trunks besides the most iconic ones in cinema history?

I always thought it was annoying when the sun got in my eyes, but it apparently made this guy envy me all along.

I doubt this is his favorite picture anymore, though.

Is that supposed to mean that it'll definitely give me a tumor, but it has a lower chance of becoming malignant?

Yeah, I'm still saying "no, thanks."

That said, I kind of wouldn't be surprised if at some point, somebody did manage to finish a script without their own knowledge.

Hollywood can be a wild place.

They certainly practice a lot of diligence in treating the routine task of "confriming" our order so urgently.

Maybe these people will scam enough money to afford a spellchecker one day.

It would be really hard not to sell them the ticket just for putting in the effort to mater trench coat balancing.

Especially since everyone else would just get tickets for a G movie and then sneak into the theater with the R rated one.

Not only is using someone else's picture and a fake story to get people's money very scummy, but it's even lower to take advantage of a sad reality of the American healthcare system to do it.

That's especially true when it's exploiting a seriously major step in real people's transitions for internet brownie points.

It's still gross but somewhat understandable when there's money involved, but there's not even a real benefit here.

Besides, the flash seems to be shining right in her face so either she's a pretty heavy sleeper or this was her handiwork.

It's just as well that Sam may not exist because imagine growing up as his sibling to learn in no uncertain terms that you're not the favorite.

I can only imagine the kid using all sorts of clever tactics to be as quiet and sneaky as possible only to scare themselves when this contraption is activated.

That's not to say it's impossible to Rickroll people anymore, but it takes a lot more careful planning and even more careful platform use nowadays.

Actually, I suppose they're just good at figuring out when the place they can practically see from their house is masquerading as a completely different city.

"Oh, you want to get all the chicken sandwiches in the place, huh? Then that's exactly what you'll receive!"

Here's a little tip for any aspiring Adventure Time fan artists: If Jake's mustache looks too much like a toilet seat, try again.

Certainly not that mirror in the back that's totally not revealing he's been playing with his mom's purse all along.

Nah, impossible.

Unfortunately, the British Stainless Steel Association has said that the melting point of steel is between 2417 and 2786 degrees Fahrenheit, so the whole city would have to be boiled alive for that to be true.

Since we haven't heard any news suggesting that happened, the alternative claim that it's an art installation makes a lot more sense.
