Wrong place, wrong time.
Not everything is as it seems.
Have you ever been caught in the wrong place at the wrong time? Something about the human condition can give us all a little bit of a guilt complex from time to time, and none of us wants to look bad or have anyone think less of us.
But sometimes, things really just don’t go our way, even when our actions and intentions and totally innocent.
People of Reddit were asked to share their best stories of innocent moments that looked NSFW, and these are sure to have you cracking up. Has something like this ever happened to you?

Hold the Beans

When I was like 14, I wanted to work out but couldn’t go to a gym or run outside or anything. For some reason I thought it would be good to use a can of green beans as a weight. I kept the can in my sock drawer because I didn’t want to go to the kitchen every time I wanted to lift weights. One day I come home from school and my mother is standing at the doorway to my bedroom with a look in her face. She is holding the can of green beans and asks me if I’m using it to do drugs. I still laugh when I think of this. (okay700)
Can’t tell which part is funniest. Using a can of green beans as a weight, that his mom thought he was using it for drugs, or him explaining “It’s not what it looks like, I’m not using the can of green beans for drugs! I use that can as a weight, as it should be.” (RS702)
Never Settle

Bored in gridlock, I had a Snapple that had settled a bit…
As I stare across the interstate at a funny billboard, I start shaking the tea.
About 5 seconds later my eyes refocus down a few degrees, and this woman is giving me a disgusted look of horror.
I realize what it looks like and hold up the tea and sorta half smile questioningly.
Then look away and try not to burst into flames from shame. (HookDragger)
Memory Lane

Flew into town where I was born and drove past the first house I lived in. I was too young to remember it but thought I’d take some pics for Mum and Dad.
Awwww how cute a bunch of kids were playing in the front yard, my oldies will love that one of their first houses is still filled with happiness.
Then the kids all looked at me, screamed and ran inside.
I’m a 38yo bearded, bald dude, stopped outside their house, window down taking pictures of them playing. Oh sh*t! With some quick thinking I salvaged the situation by spinning the wheels and driving off.
Fail. (HEAD-BUTTS-CATS)
Several years from now this incident will become a story that one of the kids will post on reddit under ‘Redditors, what’s the creepiest thing that happened to you as a kid?” or something.
“When I was young, some old bald guy stopped in front of our house one day and started taking photos of my siblings and me playing…” (xxmisschickxx)
