20 Ordinary Things We Didn’t Expect Any Surprises From

The world around us never ceases to surprise us. Sometimes, it seems that everything doesn’t go the way we thought it would: the tap in the hotel is on the ceiling, the soap pretends to be a rock, pregnancy tests show us all kinds of possible results, and the food we buy keeps confusing us.

We at Bright Side have found people that saw actual proof that they are living in a crazy, crazy world.
