26 People That a Second Ago Were Still OK

Let's say, in front of your eyes, someone got sprayed by an elephant, a frog jumped directly on your friend's face, or a ball flew straight into the camera. Being a spectator in moments like this, you're either able to help the unfortunate being who's about to get surprised, or take a really cool shot, especially if you take the pic just before the catastrophe happens.

Bright Side collected for you some stories of people whose day went completely wrong but they managed to turn failure into another reason to laugh.

"I was just trying to take a selfie when..."

In the pursuit of a great shot, other things happen too.

Keep calm and don't forget to smile.

Bye, camera!
