40+ People Who Were Stunned by What Fate Had in Store for Them

This snap is both heartwarming and devious — with a hint of humor! Well, sometimes we all need a little support to get by. This post came from a woman who lost her ID at a pub a while back. Someone else found the driver’s license and ended up using it for a year.

And while that’s a little weird, the point to remember here is the fact that this person sent the ID back to its rightful owner – along with a pretty endearing note — as soon as she turned 21 years old. As this poster said, better late than never!

It’s no secret that things can go wrong with deliveries and packages. This is one of those messed up situations, but rather than the package getting lost or misplaced altogether, this scenario takes a different turn. It turns out that the FedEx guy delivered this person’s shoes to the house next door.

When the poster realized the issue and proceeded to collect the shoes from their neighbor’s house, they saw this — the most heartwarming and honest mistake. We can’t help but wonder, though, if this person just relented and let their neighbor keep the sneakers.

Grandmothers are seriously the best — and this grandmother surely tops the list with her sweet smile and positive energy! Grammy here decided to twin with her granddaughter and get the same dress for a wedding they both were attending, and let us tell you that she absolutely rocked it.

Honestly, every grandmother should get matching outfits with their grandchildren. If nothing else, it’s a fun bonding experience!

This picture is the epitome of good luck. Although this car ran over a long nail, the tire was luckily unscathed. Because the screw landed in this particular position, it luckily didn’t puncture the tire!

Now, that’s what we call good luck. After all, what are the freakin’ chances that a tire would survive an encounter with a nail this size? We’re guessing that the chances are slim to none!

Do you ever get goosebumps when you see something very old? We can thank horror movies for that. It looks like someone here has gotten hold of a marriage certificate from the year of 1841.

Are you thinking what we’re thinking? They should definitely put it back where they found it. We would hate to disturb a pair of happily married spirits.

Some people can get so lucky at times. We’re not supposed to envy people but here, we can’t help but feel jealousy. It looks like someone out there got a hold of a packet of butterscotch candies that mistakenly came with another half-sized butterscotch.

Now, tell us how else are we supposed to react to this person’s fate? How come we’ve never ended up with an extra butterscotch candy?

Sometimes fate can make you stop and think, ‘Now how did that happen?’ In our opinion, that’s one of the best things about fate — it has the tendency to shock or stun you.

If you take a closer look at the picture, you’ll see that the patterns of the binds inside the window are perfectly aligned to the patterns of the weatherboard. As a result, it looks like both are undivided.

Art is something that’s manmade; something that comes from your imagination. Then again, sometimes, fate can make an appearance. If you don’t believe us, just have a look at the paint tray here.

Somehow it turned out in a pattern that looks like it’s shaped like a crow. Now the more we are looking into it, the more it looks like a white crow.

These people went fishing and they did catch a fish, but they also got another unexpected surprise — a frog! These people were pretty shocked when reeled the fish in only to discover that it brought along another friend.

So, they decided to capture this fish and frog bundle, and it was worth it. How often can you find a frog looking at you from inside a fish’s mouth? The answer is never.

This picture shows Siri telling a man to take his own life. See, what happened is that this particular poster had told Siri to remind him to dye his hair. So, she did. However, it came out a little harsher than was expected.

Then again, we can’t totally blame Siri. It’s not her fault that the word “dye” is pronounced the same as “die.” In any case, we’re just happy the man decided to document this moment to share with the rest of us.

From the looks of it, this poster didn’t check on their electric panel for some time. So, when they went to check it to fix some issues, they found a surprise visitor renting out the place.

Well, that only seems logical considering that no one or nothing else was using it. And while the new tenant is a bit different and quite alarming, we’re sure that they’ll all be able to work things out.

Sometimes, things pair up and give the most unexpected result. Take this post, for instance. Someone taped a toy on the trunk door under the rearview camera, and the timing couldn’t have been any better.

Just look at the action figure’s stance and expression — he’s ready to go! If we didn’t know any better, we would think that this a scene straight out of 1998’s Small Soldiers.

This picture shows a portable charger that’s charging itself. This portable charger works in mysterious ways. We really have no idea how it’s possible for this device to charge itself, but one thing is for sure — we need to get our hands on it!

We may never understand how a portable phone charger can give itself juice, but then again, some mysteries just can’t be solved. In that case, what do we do? We simply take a picture and cherish it forever.

How many of us have dreamt about having breakfast with a kangaroo and its joey? Well, someone is going to fulfill that dream, as long as they don’t keep their guests waiting for too long. It looks like they have other matters to attend to, after all…

So, just take the picture and serve them breakfast. In all seriousness, though, this would definitely be an interesting way to wake up. Of course, we can only assume that this Snapchat came all the way from the land down under (Australia)!

We all know that you need permission to enter someone’s territory — rules are rules! Clearly, this cheetah agrees. Before this man is allowed to enter cheetah territory, he needs to prove that he’s meant to be there. How? By showing the cheetah his ticket.

And while we can see the fear in this man’s face, the cheetah is only doing its job. Just don’t make any sudden movements…

This is dark humor at its best. Imagine you’re on a flight. You’re just sitting there, minding your own business, when you turn to look out the window. What do you see other than the blue sky? You see this — a man holding a sign that says “I was your pilot.”

Yeah… if we saw that, we’d have a heart attack. It’s a horrifyingly funny sight. And while we’re it’s just a joke, the smile on this skydiver’s face makes everything that much scarier.

Shops are always looking for new ways to sell their products and attract customers. Sometimes they even advertise a product to a specific crowd in hopes that it’ll grab their attention. Well, this shop knows just how to target its customers.

They’ve come up with the perfect gift for their female customers, and it’s a pretty good surprise (not)! Look at the assortment of knives just hanging there along with a sign that says, “Surprise her.” She’ll surely be surprised… by how little thought when into this present. Just saying!

It’s hard to find love these days, but we all know there’s someone out there waiting for each and every one of us. Of course, when you actually find that special someone, who is as romantic and thoughtful as this one here, you hold onto them for dear life.

Imagine walking in to find that your boyfriend has planned the most “romantic” night for you. What do you do then? You take a picture of the gesture, of course. All jokes aside, though, while this might not be the most romantic gesture in the world, we can only assume that it gave the girlfriend a good laugh — and there’s truly nothing better than a hearty chuckle!

It’s the winter season. You look through your window to get a glimpse of the snowfall outside and instead, you see this. A creepy, bony icy hand. It’s almost as if the hand wants to get a hold of you. Can you imagine spotting this?!

It really doesn’t matter whether it’s day or night; you’ll be surprised either way. Don’t be mistaken, though. It’s not a horror movie prop but rather a natural sculpture gifted to all of us by Mother Nature herself.

You’re riding the bus to work or school; nothing special. After all, you do it daily. Then, you notice something out of the ordinary — there’s a rabbit on the bus. You’re riding a bus with a rabbit, a rabbit that clearly has some business to take care of.

In all seriousness, this has to be one of the cutest pictures to flood the internet. If we ever spotted this little furball on the bus, we would take it home with us!

This is definitely not something you’d expect to wake up to. The poster here walked into the kitchen only to find a pigeon that certainly made itself comfortable atop the stove.

Well, it looks like today’s menu includes bird! We’re only kidding. Still, this is a pretty comical surprise to see in the kitchen first thing in the morning.

While baking can be fun, it can also be quite nerve-wracking because of how exact you actually have to be. Did you overdo it? Are you going to burn the cake? Is it going to be as good as the last one? Then, comes the part when the cake turns out just fine. In this scenario, though, there’s a catch!

Just when you’re about to take the cake out of the oven, it slips out of your hands. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened here. On the bright side, the cake survived and even returned with a slightly creepy smiley face!

Timing is something that people can rarely ever get right; it’s beautiful and rare. Likewise, this image here shows what perfect timing and placement look like.

This butterfly landed inside the eye socket of a skull — in a way that the design on the butterfly’s wing looks like an eyeball. How cool is that? This truly is one of the greatest examples of good timing. Good job, little flutter buddy!

Art is all about perception. What you consider art might be trash in someone else’s eyes, and vice-versa. There are times, though, in which art comes about naturally. You don’t necessarily need high-end painting materials to create a masterpiece.

Sometimes all you need a bit of luck! Take this photo, for example. The remaining coffee grinds in this mug have transformed into a beautiful painting of sorts. We don’t know about you guys but we see a forest of trees just waiting to be explored!

Who let the snow out — who, who, who? There may be times in which you don’t totally understand the universe. Sometimes life can just surprise you with no warning.

Case in point, this picture! Each photo may have been taken at the same time of year, but there’s nothing similar about the two (aside from the house across the street). In January 2020, this person wasn’t even able to leave the house because their car got completely swallowed by the snowfall. In January 2021, there was no snow to be found!

What exactly is happening here? What is this gecko doing? Is it simply trying to catch a few z’s before the week starts? We feel you, little man! This gecko represents all of us.

He looks so at peace laying here in his owner’s hand. We wonder what he’s dreaming about. Probably what he’s going to eat for lunch…

Northern lights, or auroras, are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind. And let us tell you that these lights are one of the most beautiful sights in the world, so beautiful that you may never want to look away.

What’s cooler than a picture of northern lights, though? A photo of reindeer dashing through the snow, surrounded by these breathtaking lights.

Origami is the art of paper folding. You can make all different types of birds with various shades of paper. When nature tries to do that, it becomes so surreal. Here, this Aussie plant has the most gorgeous leaves ever.

We’re completely gushing over how they look. You’re seeing what we’re seeing, right? The leaves of this plant look like green hummingbirds! How stunning!

Do you love rainbows? Who doesn’t? The sky looks a hundred times prettier when a rainbow shows up. The colors completely illuminate the sky.

Here, in Brazil, someone caught a glimpse of the biggest rainbow we have ever laid our eyes on. One word, stunning.

Winter is all about snowflakes and snow frost. Snowflakes are the most beautiful and intricate patterns to fall from the sky. Have you ever imagined what a snowflake would look like if it were the size of an average spider web?

Well, here you can see a frosted spider web. Sure — it may not be a snowflake per se but this is exactly what it would be like to see a flake this size fall from the sky.

Stores don’t always sell you the most authentic products. Here’s an example of that. See these lemons? The one on the left is from this person’s mom’s lemon tree and the one on the right is a store-bought lemon.

Just look at the difference in size! These are the same types of lemons but the store-bought one is less than half the size.

Steaks are the best — there’s no doubt about that. But, they usually don’t come in shapes that would have any meaning.

On the other hand, this steak here broke all the records, as it’s shaped like South America. It does look like Chile has grown some amount of fat on its side, though.

Fate is something you cannot even explain, and it’s completely dumbfounding. Sometimes uncanny things happen. Take this post as an example.

If you look carefully at the picture of this guinea pig, you’ll see that the white furry part looks like a silhouette of a rooster. Did we just see a rooster within a guinea pig?

If you check YouTube or Pinterest for the most gourmet recipes, you might find the most creative dishes; the creativity is truly limitless. People have even made Winne-the-Pooh with egg yolks.

Those come from practice but here we found yin and yang made out of two eggs and that was pure luck. They didn’t try to make this on purpose. Rather it turned out this way naturally.

An orange peel within an orange. That’s peel-ception for you! While we’re still trying our best to come up with a scientific and logical explanation for this picture, we’re still cracking up at “a-peel-ing orange” jokes.

This is both hilarious and strange. How did this happen exactly? Did someone customize it? We want answers!

Are you a big Harry Potter fan like us? If you are, we hope you got the joke — the half-blood orange… ha! Still, what exactly happened to this orange?

We’re not sure whether it was supposed to be a regular orange or a blood orange. But, we’re certainly happy that this poster documented it. This half-blood orange is nature’s work at its finest, after all.

Have you seen the sculptures people make out of ice? Those are gorgeous, right? Have you ever seen something natural just like that? Check out this image where these icicles formed in the shape of chess pieces.

Nature can surprise you in so many ways. This was one of those instances but we must admit that we’re more than impressed with these beautiful chess pieces made out of icicles.

Here we have a pair of forks — except one came completely uncut. Can you guess which one that is? It looks like a mini shovel. What would you call it?

We’re planning on calling it a food shovel. Come to think of it — we think this uncut fork is actually a pretty handy serving utensil.

Wall art is loved by many, and while this isn’t technically a painting or drawing, it is a strangely beautiful masterpiece.

What you’re looking at is a reflection of the building across the street. What’s more, this poster was actually able to capture it!

Mother nature is the greatest artist of all time, and after some of the posts that we’ve seen on this list, we hope you agree!

Here, the snowfall formed to look like two people embracing each other. How sweet for this poster to even notice!

This man tried to surprise his wife with a bath so she could have a relaxing end to the day. And although their furry friend wasn’t invited to this little spa evening, he didn’t seem all that phased.

In fact, he made himself comfortable and jumped right into the bathtub. That may have not been this husband’s exact plan but how can you get mad at that sweet face?

We’re not going to lie — this Snapchat gave us a really good laugh. While it’s definitely not funny to see the SUV sinking into a frozen river, we have to hand it to this woman for having a wild sense of humor!

After all, she did pose for a Snapchat photo right after she realized that the car was sinking. Obviously, her husband has a decent sense of humor as well considering that he took the picture.

There’s nothing wrong with a little sarcasm and playful banter in a marriage. In fact, it’s encouraged! However, this husband has taken his joke far past the ‘Chandler Bing’ level. Still, while it’s a little over the top, we can’t help but laugh at this “surprise.”

Now, we’re just left wondering what the wife’s reaction was when she realized her surprise was a goat. We mean, it’s definitely surprising so her hubby wasn’t wrong about that. But, she was probably expecting something along the lines of a piece of jewelry or perhaps a new outfit.

Most of us that are into Halloween buy pumpkins for the holiday so we can carve them, and transform them into spooky decorations. But, how many of us are lucky enough to get a pumpkin that’s already carved? Take this pumpkin, for example.

Though it was originally bought to cook with, this pumpkin has created its own purpose. It’s as if it was born to celebrate Halloween. Just check out that eery looking expression!

We know what you’re thinking but no — it’s neither a painting nor a real shark. In reality, what you’re looking at is a rock. Someone channeled their creative energy and transformed the large stone into a very realistic looking shark.

In fact, it looks so convincing that we wouldn’t be surprised if someone told us that this is actually a scene out of Jaws. Let’s just hope that this masterpiece of sorts didn’t give anyone too much of a scare.
