Dogs are cute and athletic, but not always the best at spacial awareness.

No, but that doesn't mean to deserve a "friend" sneaking up behind you when you can't see them.

According to the guy in the cone, the "friend" kicked him in the back of the knee.

This feels like a pic where the parent was trying to take a shot of their child catching the bouncing ball, but made the mistake of getting their attention.

Which promptly made them forget about the ball coming toward them.

I really hope that's at least the deep end.

People are dumb around pools. When my parents bought a house with a pool, it took one pool party with teenagers to prompt my dad to remove the diving board.

"The exact moment before my mom found out why all her laundry still was wet," explained Redditor Calonius.

Man, security at cricket matches is really serious.

I guess if you're going to try to run out onto the pitch for a selfie with a player, you should expect security to be quick.
