45 Moments That Genuinely Made Us Concerned

Some of the warning signs in life can be incredibly obvious, however, some of them can be subtle and hard to miss. Whether it be a warning of a dangerous goldfish on the loose or an incredibly inappropriate and poorly placed advert in a newspaper, it is important to keep an eye out for life's warning signs.

So, with that in mind, here are 12+ moments that genuinely made us concerned.

"I found this in my neighborhood."

Reddit | the_perfect_answer

There's nothing more unsettling than having an overly aggressive, amnesiac goldfish on the loose in your neighborhood.

"That's not how it works..."

Reddit | SUSHAEBOT

I am very worried about where this person thinks that dogs come from.

"Teddy Long Legs."

Reddit | nintendo_shill

This one absolutely kills me. I mean, who would ever think that someone would want a teddy bear with legs like that? This is the stuff of nightmares! Also, why aren't his arms in proportion with the legs at least?

"These restoom tiles..."

Reddit | edvind

This is the absolute epitome of a crap design! Get it, 'cause crap means two things here... sort of.

"Someone's about to get alcohol poisoning."

Reddit | minjenzo

I don't care who you are, you should never have your elbows that far up the table!

"Spiderman's Web Kleenex."

Reddit | realgrandpa

The marketing team at Kleenex are either the most naive people on the planet, or some truly sick people!

"Light switch in kids room."

Reddit | AlexKiri

This light-switch comes with a 100% guarantee that it will ruin your child's dreams.

"This Spiderman children's ride has a visible panty line."

Reddit | butterstubble

Guys! You all need to stop ruining spider-man for everyone! Apparently, this was a repaint over something else, in case you were wondering.

"This newspaper headline is scarring VS Pie eating contest."

Reddit | GallowBoob

How many complaints do you reckon they got about this? It's a genius bit of marketing, but also shocking as hell at a first glance!

"Very long message warning (while driving) not to take your eyes off the road for too long."

Reddit | J4CKR4BB1TSL1MS

The irony in this picture is palpable. I love few things more than a good ironic warning sign... don't kink shame me!

"Turn Me On Yourself."

Reddit | SystemOfaPawn

That bear has seen some things man. I hate how they've given it little sweat marks.

"So my neighbors do this thing where they leave the window open every morning so their dog can sit on the roof and people watch."

Reddit | dylanciaga

I don't know why this is making me anxious. I think it is because I feel as though he would be judging me and reporting back to his owners about what I get up to on a daily basis?

"This shirt you can't wear anything over, unless you want to look like you have permanent pokey nipples..."

Reddit | ConfusedGirlfriend

It's not even like you could just cut those two bobbles off, as they you'd just have weird pokey bits all over the rest of your body as well.

"It almost seems intentional."

Reddit | Palifaith

Good lord, they need to take that down immediately! That is truly haunting!

Is That Enough Rice?

Reddit | shitterrabyte

That is a perfectly acceptable amount of rice, I think. I mean, who really makes an appropriate amount of pasta or rice anyway?

"Now there's a safety record I could get behind!"

Reddit | bobekyrant

I'm not sure, it feels like they're trying to cover something up. I reckon they've got a real problem with dinosaur attacks and they're just trying to cover it up!

"Professor, I can't get these audio files in our textbook to play."

Reddit | j0m1n1n

"I've been pressing this for over an hour sir, and I still can't get it to work."

"I think you should consider taking a different class..."

"I think my dog is planning an escape. I found his shiv."

Reddit | Sam_Porter

Wow, that pooch has really done an excellent job of chewing that down to a fine point considering the tools it is working with!

"The cracker I got at my work’s Christmas lunch was a gun-shaped whistle. To blow it, you have to put the barrel in your mouth."

Reddit | HembraunAirginator

"So... it's a whistle?"

"Yeah, but, and bear with me here, it's shaped like a gun!"

"Okay... so, do you blow into the handle or something?"

"No! You blow into the barrel of course!"

"And this is christmassy because...?"

"Do the children lay on the road?"

Reddit | thebob619

Well, having children lay in the road is certainly one way to get people to slow down I guess?

"Actually, on second thought, I'm not so hungry."

Reddit | Quillford

"Look, it's a guy with a full belly, isn't this a great logo?!"

"Dave... I think you know full well that isn't what that is."

"This creepy pizza serving it's own kind as food."

Reddit | GloriouZWorm

Here we can see a mural depicting one of the Pizza-beings serving up its young to its human overlords as a show of subservience.

"Not a good carpet choice for stairs if you ask me..."

Reddit | scienceyeaux

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise that this was actually a set of stairs in the picture!

"Worst doctor ever."

Reddit | CosmoInColour

Seriously? You're telling me that no one read this back to themselves and thought that it was a tiny bit misleading?

"Forever 21 does not know how to use Photoshop or what women actually look like."

Reddit | add217

Have the people who work at Forever 21 ever seen a real human woman before? I doubt it.

"I think my grocery store might have a theft problem."

Reddit | Codedinc

I think if I was looking for a house and saw that this was the state of the local store, I'd reconsider making an offer on the house!

"Mother-daughter bonding at its finest."

Reddit | pochama55

Don't give your child a juice-box like a nerd, give them wine in an unbreakable wineglass like a cool parent!

(Please don't actually give your kids wine... just saying!)

"My fortune cookies tonight were a little dark."

Reddit | FusionHead

These fortune cookies clearly know something you don't! This is some Final Destination nonsense!

"Mom was worried about my trip to the Grand Canyon, I sent her this picture."

Reddit | AlphaF

Today I learned that a lot of the visitation areas at the Grand Canyon don't have guardrails, so I don't blame the mom for being worried about her kid, because now I'm worried about everyone who ever visits.

"My 12 year old daughter now makes baby jewelry."

Reddit | bmorebirdz

At least she's pursuing a creative passion? For all we know, this will be super chic in a few years.

Wait, What? Oh.

Reddit | Celestial_Inferno

Whew, they really had us in the first half. Not sure if panic-inducing stickers is good advertising though.

"Grandma really knows how to make Christmas creepy."

Reddit | cheetobandito234

A decapitated Santa head is pretty weird on its own, but of all the places you could have put it, that's where you choose?

"Took a selfie through a paper towel roll, this is how it turned out."

Reddit | chipcrk

He looks like a worse version of the Teletubbies sun.

"My daughter found my wig..."

Reddit | Gogolnew

Are you sure she didn't crawl out of your TV set?

"My sister found this at the church carnival and she doesn't see why I think it's creepy."

Reddit | iamfullofsandvich

There are like, levels to this creepiness. This went through multiple people who all thought it was okay. Why did they think it was okay.

"Found out my three year old daughter keeps a box with a knife, a gun, and some cash. Should I be worried?

Reddit | moses1424

"A buyer requested an online seller to send proof that the wild honey he's selling is genuine."

Reddit | npad69

Not only did he prove the validity, he proved the work he put into it too!

That's Gonna Be A No From Me.

Reddit | PictureHelper

Love that it's the felt color that makes them think their kids won't like it and not...everything else.

"Friend went to pick up her kid's medication, texted me this with, 'Should I be worried?'."

Reddit | sidewinderucf

"Ah, I see your doctor prescribed a knuckle sandwich."

"My daughter got a camera for a birthday. One of the first things she did with it was to barge in the bathroom and take a pic of me taking a dump."

Reddit | theard7

She wants to remember the special moment you share.

"Don’t worry CVS, it happens to a lot of guys."

Reddit | VicksVapoLube

You'd think for a pharmacy they'd have something to help with that.

"My shampoo had me worried...thank god I don't live in California."

Reddit | Warack

Because, as we all know, cancer only really exists in California. Anywhere else and you're in the clear.

"Found on a toilet in work, I wish i could say it was a joke, but whoever used this toilet, sir, I hope you're okay..."

Reddit | ryanhyndso

Anyone this proud of their waste needs to get a hobby! Or at least eat better...

"In 5th grade I was worried I would blink and mess up my year book photo."

Reddit | wholebunchofbees

Thanks to this picture not only are you worried about blinking, but you're worried about being wide-eyed too! Gotta find a healthy middle.

When You See It...

Reddit | MysteriousPenguins

The person who took this photo and altered it should get a job working for Forever 21, they'd fit right in!
