15+ Moments At Airports That Caused Such A Stir – People Couldn’t Help But Stare

Air travel can either be a total breeze or an absolute disaster, you never really know which way it will go. These are the most hilarious moments that happened in airports.

What A Welcome

Of course some welcome home signs can be incredibly awkward, while others are sweet and thoughtful. This husband wanted to welcome home his wife in the best way possible, so not only was he sweet, he paid her a huge compliment that probably resulted in quite a few blushes. Picking her up dressed as a limo driver and writing “Smokin Hot Italian Chick,” earned him quite a few looks, but it was certainly worth it. He probably got big brownie points.

Mom Off Duty

By the look of this young one’s face, Dad couldn’t have gotten home at a better time. This humorous sign is one of our favorites, it’s sweet and lighthearted while managing to pick fun at Dad (and Mom). We’re wondering how long Dad was away for Mom to have quit two weeks prior! Such a sweet gesture, we’re sad we didn’t get to see Dad’s reaction to their “Welcome Back” sign. We hope Mom managed to gain her strength back, but if not, Dad’s back!

Random Security Checks

If you frequent the airport a lot, then you know there is no avoiding a random security check. However, being help up and having to pose for the x-ray machines isn’t always to peak of a traveller’s airport experience. At least this woman is taking her scan with a smile.

Getting Handsy

Awkward moment #100108338 at the airport. Obviously, this security guard was just doing her job, but it seems like her handsy manoeuvre was caught at the exact right time. We can’t help but wonder if she knew cameras were rolling when this routine security check went down.

Adjusting

Being at the airport means adjusting. Adjusting to the rules, adjusting to delays, adjusting to time differences, or adjusting into a confortable position on a long layover. Sometimes it’s too hot, sometimes too cool so you need to travel prepared. No matter the situation, you may find yourself having to adjust to all kinds of bizarre circumstances.

Do You Mean Duty?

We’re guessing that this man of duty couldn’t have asked for a better welcome home sign. These two lovebirds look so happy to see each other we’d be surprised if he even read the sign. As the two embrace in each other’s arms, the world disappears behind them. We’re happy this guy got home safe, and that his girl was waiting for him. A sweet welcome home, and we’re happy we got to be a part of it, even if it’s only through the internet.

Lay-under

When your flight’s delayed you need to find the perfect place to make yourself comfortable, which is not the easiest of things. This woman thought outside of the box and was smart enough the maneuver herself under the armrests. You’d have to be a certain size to make this one work!

Reddit // u/NeverISwear

Welcome Aboard

This just does not seem like a practical place for the pilot to sit. Of all people, she should know the dangers of getting to0 close to the door, whether it’s open or shut. Whatever the case may be in this photo, we know for sure that one lucky passenger must have had the honor or getting the pic in the first place. Hopefully she got around to serving drinks after that.

Place All Cuddly Objects In A Bin

What is worse than traveling with a child? Traveling with a small baby. They are unpredictable and can cry at any time, and must be lugged around in a stroller. When this mother was asked to take her shoes off by TSA, she had to put her baby down somewhere while she did so. Let’s just hope the baby was not put through the X-ray machine, as that wouldn’t be a good situation for anyone.

Flying To See Jenny

At the Nashville International Airport, travelers were in for a treat when they spotted Forrest Gump at the airport. Even the Nike sneakers and haircut resembled the famous film character. While there is no information where he was going or what he was doing, we’d like to think he was traveling to see his own Jenny. In any case, if the Forrest lookalike was about to miss his flight, other passengers could just start shouting “run, Forrest! Run!”

When You Think No One Is Watching

Traveller’s beware. Someone is always watching. Be it the security cameras, undercover security guards, or just random travellers navigating their way through the airport. So if you’re going to strike a pose like this lady did, just know that your moment could  be caught on camera. She was probably just very excited to get where she was going.

Choking Up

We have seen some embarrassing welcome home signs, but this has to be one of the most mortifying. Mokie was in for a shocking surprise when he walked out of the gate. His friends found the most embarrassing photo, choking on some food and decided to blow it up huge and hold it for the whole airport to see. We hope he saw the funny side of it and wasn’t chewing anything as he walked off the flight in the case this face would happen again.

Proposed Itinerary

You can’t help but smile when you see a couple getting engaged in public. Anyone who has experienced that moment will remember the shock and overall excitement that comes with being asked to spend you life with the one. This man chose to propose when his partner returned from a trip, straight as she walked out of the gate. Everyone in the background couldn’t contain their excitement for the adorable couple, and most importantly, she said yes!

Imgur // Noname

Doodie Free

The vast majority of airports are not dog-friendly, but the small percentage of them that do, make plenty of allowances for man’s best friends. No matter how well-trained your dog is, they have needs just like the rest of us. This San Diego airport decided to assign a special “pet relief” area, so your pet can go about its business in peace and without nasty looks from appalled passengers. Think about it, it’s also a great place to hang around with cute puppies while waiting around.

Never a Dull Moment

There’s never a dull moment at the airport. Whether you’re rushing to your gate or waiting in line for baggage drop off, the airport is simply full of sights. Frequent flyers are probably accustom to seeing certain faces stand out, as they rush to reach their flight. The images below clearly represent exactly that.

Baby On Board

We love a good wordplay and in this case, “songplay”. We couldn’t think of a better “Welcome Home” sign for a baby to greet her daddy with. By the look of Harper’s face, someone seems a bit surprised, and we’re hoping it’s not her father. This sign was a thoughtfully planned out one, and we really appreciate it. Let’s just say, if we’re going to greet someone with a baby, we might steal this idea.

Twitter // @carlyraejepsen

Checked In

Traveling can be increasingly tiresome, there is just so much you can do in an airport before you start going stir crazy. Unless you’re a child and it’s acceptable to play hide and go seek, the reality is that you will probably be sitting on your phone or laptop for the next few hours before boarding your flight. However, this girl decided to bring back the planking craze of 2010 and take a ride along the luggage conveyer belt.

YouTube // Darren Isenberg

Well, That’s Reassuring

Taking off from Vnukovo International Airport in Moscow is not the most calming experience, as you are greeted with the remains of Dagestan Airlines Flight 37. The plane had an engine failure and went down shortly after taking off, but the emergency landing was botched and the plane broke into three pieces. There were two deaths as a result of the crash and they decided to leave the remains of the plane to be used in the pilots trial.

Reddit // u/Treo123

Yogie

Sitting on planes for hours on end can really take its toll on your body. Many experts recommend keeping your body moving on a plane and getting your circulation going, through small exercise. However, in many cases, all you want to do is completely stretch out, but there just isn’t the space to do that on a plane. Therefore, this yoga enthusiast took advantage of his time in the airport and decided to go through his routine in public.

Imgur // REVSdocent

We Talked About This

Selfies have become all the rage in recent years to the point that it was named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. This woman decided to publicly shame her partner for his narcissistic obsession with constant selfies. He even went so far to get the best gadgets out there for good angles. However, when his girlfriend, Britney, found his selfie stick, it was truly the last straw and she just couldn’t take the embarrassment anymore. Hope you had a good flight, Simon!

Twitter // @julian_wood

Alternative Seating

We have seen people sleeping in very strange positions in the airport, but this has to be one of the most unusual. Admittedly, it can be very hard to get comfortable in a sleeping position while waiting for you flight, so this man decided to use his suitcase as a back rest and the seat for holding his lower half. It might look very uncomfortable, but he looks to be fast asleep, so maybe it isn’t as bad as it looks?!

Many Hands Make Flight Work

Without a back story, this photo is just cruel, discriminative slave-labor, but then when you find out what it is for, you can breathe a sigh of relief and laugh. This photo was taken during the filming of Man Vs. Beast, to figure out if an elephant or 44 little people could pull a airplane quicker. We’re sad that the elephant had no choice but to do it, but of course he was stronger than the humans.

Reddit // u/nibbi

The Grinch Of The Airport

There are plenty of things which are totally understandable to ban from taking on the aircraft for your safety and the safety of everyone else. However, many people began scratching their heads when TSA were the Grinch over the holiday season and banned people from taking snow globes on the plane. The reason was that the liquid might be switched with an explosive chemical. In addition Bangkok banned the Thai and Malaysian native fruit Durians for their bad odor.

Not Taking Any Chances

Planes can be hotbeds for the distribution of germs and illnesses and for germ-o-phobes, it can be too much to handle. This man was clearly one of those people and in addition, he used every tool possible to block out smells, noise and light. It might look a bit bizarre and we feel for the other passengers sitting next to him as that is an awkward moment when they need to get past him to go to the bathroom.

Facebook // Epicalyptic

In Plane View

“Do it for the Insta” is a saying which has people doing crazy things to get more followers and more attention on their social media. This Brazilian pilot, Daniel Centeno has garnered over 70,000 Instagram followers due to his plane selfies that only the most fearless of people would take. This selfie was taken above the famous Palm in Dubai but many questioned the validity of them. It turned out that they were photoshopped and everyone died a little inside.

I Saw The Sign… And It Was Illegible

Nothing is cuter than having your little girl come and welcome you home from the airport. The sheer excitement toddlers get when they are reunited with a parent is heartwarming for anyone to see. When this six-year-old wanted to greet her grandparents at the airport, she insisted on making a sign for them. Despite all of her hard work, the sign was completely illegible, but she looked proud nonetheless. Hey, it’s the thought that counts.

Twitter // @joeboughner

Drawing The Line

When you leave important documents in the way of your young children, it should be expected they are going to do something to it. This man probably should have hidden away his passport from his kids, who decided to practice their best artwork on it. The biggest problem of all was the fact that the family were on vacation and border control wouldn’t accept the passport. The man had to go back to the embassy and this kid probably got one big scolding.

Twitter // @Nomadic_Turtle

One More

Some jobs at the airport can be rather mundane, but there is much room for making them creative and exciting. This baggage handler decided to do exactly that and channel his inner Tetris maestro to create the most incredibly luggage tower in airport history. While we wish that was the honest truth, the reality is that these are art sculptures placed in an airport and molded together carefully. It’s still pretty cool and leaves you thinking how it was made.

Good To Keep In Mind

There are some signs that you see in airports around the world, but this one is very rare. The sign can be found at St. Maarten’s Princess Juliana Airport in New Zealand, and is genuine in warning travelers to stay away from the runway, which is situated much too close to the parking lot. Not only is this a huge safety hazard, but this also gives New Zealand a bad reputation for their airport safety.

K-911

You may not have thought twice about it, but many airports are at risk of wild animals running across the runway which would cause a huge safety incident. Plenty of airports have overcome this issue by creating traps to shoo the animals away from the danger that is all around them, but Cherry Capital Airport in Michigan went for a different method. They decided to hire a Border Collie named Piper who runs around the airport perimeter, chasing animals away and keeping all passengers and airlines safe.

Runway Traffic

Looking at this picture would have anyone having a panic attack, whether you are afraid of flying or not. This is breaching airline safety on so many levels and an astronomical collision is pretty sure to happen. Luckily, this is just a photoshopped image by photographer Mike Kelley. He named it “Wake Turbulence,” and it depicts all the flights departing from LAX, Los Angeles’ international airport. It was made up of 400 individual images and then doctored together.

One-Way To Antarctica

While this looks like something out of a movie, it is completely real. Sadly, these Humboldt penguins were threatened by poachers, but through the quick and successful work of penguin conservationists, they were able to transport them back to their native habitat, an island off of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. However, transporting penguins is not as easy as you’d think and the most logical way to travel with them was by taking them on a commercial airline.

Run(a)way Bear

The majority of airports would never see such an incredible sight, but for those countries that are used to extreme temperatures and conditions, occurrences like this are more common than you would imagine. This photo was taken at an Alaskan airport and the area is home to plenty of polar bears. Although the beautiful, yet dangerous animals, spend much of their lives in cold waters, when they appear, it seems like they enjoy wandering amongst the planes.

Always Log Out

If you leave your phone in an airport, chances are it’s gone for good and there’s no turning back. However, in Newcastle International Airport, these airport workers decided to have some fun when a passenger left their phone behind by posting a funny selfie on her Facebook page. Geordie’s don’t tend to have the best reputation, but these two men were able to change many of the perceptions about the strong-accented northerners. We’re sure Jasmine wouldn’t forget this one.

Air-obics

For the most part, millennials are constantly glued to their phones or technology while on-the-go or stationary, so when young people are engaging in the moment and making use out of their free time, it is refreshing to see. These guys decided to take activities in the airport to new levels when they decided to perform some circus activities to the delight of other passengers. Although no precautions were taken, both guys got away with no bruises or scratches.

Present Claim

Traveling can always be hectic and everyone knows that nerve-wracking moment when you stand by the luggage conveyor belt, hoping that your luggage isn’t lost and you can go home without a hitch. However when Spainair landed on Christmas Eve, they decided to give their passengers a wonderful parting gift and give out presents on the luggage conveyor. Everyone was surprised and got a thoughtful gift, all age-appropriate of course, it was truly a Christmas to remember.

Reddit // u/nvendr

Is This The Cockpit?

This just does not seem like a practical place for the pilot to sit. Of all people, she should know the dangers of getting to0 close to the door, whether it’s on or off. However, there is a story behind this one as the pilot is Swedish Maria Pettersson, who often combines her love of flying and yoga. The pilot often posts pictures of herself doing yoga around the aircraft, which has garnered plenty of attention on Instagram.

Powerful Beach Breeze

If you haven’t heard of it already, you have now. Maho Beach on Saint Martin in the Caribbean is not only famous for it’s turquoise blue waters and beautiful beaches, but it is most commonly known for its terrifying runway. One of the beaches on the island is death-defyingly close to the runway, leading planes to drop down extremely close to beach revelers. It can be very unsafe and people often find themselves ducking down, but not before they take a selfie.

You Shall Not Pass

Hands down, one of the worst things in an airport is slow walkers. This grandma was letting no one pass her when she disembarked the plane at her own pace. Her face says it all, she did not want to be rushed, and she was so unbothered, she decided to stand in the middle and take no prisoners on her snail pace journey to passport control. Luckily, everyone saw the funny side of the situation, judging by their faces.

Reddit // u/djTrip9

Sleeping Buddy

When your flight is delayed and you are absolutely exhausted from traveling, the only thing to do in an airport is look for a comfortable place to sleep. For single travelers they seem to be open to sleeping pretty much anywhere, but when you are traveling with a partner, finding somewhere can be more tricky. However, this woman took advantage of her partner and decided to sleep across his lap. All the boyfriend could do was take it, so he decided to rest on her too.

Nunderneath The Robes

Sometimes you just have to wonder if TSA are going overboard with their jobs. Of course, it is important to check passengers thoroughly for any weapons or chemicals they may be carrying, but some people are much less suspicious than others. Why this nun was asked for extra checks we don’t know, she probably just wants to go on her pilgrimage in peace without any hassle. We hope this was the last of the troubles this nun was put through on her travels.

Twitter // @TheN1James

Accurate Signs

Lets be honest, the lines in airport bathrooms can be painfully long and extremely inconvenient when you are absolutely desperate to go. This sign in a Chinese airport could not have been more accurate when giving directions as to where the toilets were located. It’s as if they were already letting you know that you need to prepare to cross your legs and wait in very long lines. Maybe invest in more bathrooms rather than making these huge signs?

Facebook // Extreme import

Overweight Luggage

When you are going on an exciting vacation, there are numerous times that friends and family will ask “can I come in your suitcase?” While this is supposed to be a joke, one man took it very seriously and packed himself into his friends suitcase. Firstly, this looks like a very uncomfortable position, secondly, there is no way he would pass through security and thirdly, he is lucky he didn’t go to jail. We would advise to just buy a plane ticket instead.

Make Yourself At Home

Seeing people laying around on the floor in an airport might be slightly bizarre to look at, but it is actually very common. Between flight cancellations and delays, seats in the airport can be hard to come by, so in many cases, you need to improvise. This one looks particularly awkward because the sleeping man is laying in the middle of check-in while others are standing normally around him. Maybe try and find a quiet corner next time?

When your taxi cancels your trip to the airport, everything becomes a panic and you just don’t want to miss your flight. These guys decided to come up with another option when they couldn’t get an Uber, and used a motorbike to transport the traveler and his luggage to the airport. This hilarious idea seems genius in planning but is disastrous in practice. There’s no way that bag made it to the airport in one piece and they probably had to hail a rescue taxi on the highway.

Red Light, Green Light

We’re not even sure how this runway was given the green light to be built because is absolutely lethal. The runway is situated in Gibralter international airport and cars are forced to stop at the light while planes are given the go ahead for a safe landing. When the barriers are not down, cars are free to pass through and it incredibly dangerous for everyone in the case a plane needs to do an emergency landing, they have to wait for a free road.

Reddit // u/mreastvillage

Multipurpose Luggage

This girl represents everyone’s mood at an airport. Between the constant waiting in lines for luggage, passport checks or security, it is a long and draining process, and in many cases you are forced to stand for hours on end. In addition, delays make the airport experience ten times worse. What this girl did was pretty genius if you ask us. Not only was she able to take a nap, her father would be able to transport her to the plane while she was snoozing.

Reddit // u/zairwolf1

It’s Personal

We’ve all had moment when we have either forgotten what our luggage looks like when coming around the luggage conveyer, or for those more foolish, forgotten our bags altogether. This man was a culprit of both of those things and to ensure that he did not have yet another incident with his luggage, his friends gifted him with a bag with his face printed on it. Let’s hope he never forgot about it again, as that is just too much.

Imgur // Jew3lr0se

Shining Armor

While this looks like a complete joke, it was not. How many times have you been in an airport where they have these gimmick stands for shoe shining and walk past it thinking who has the time to sit there and do that, or better yet, who would pay for that? Well, it turns out that the figures in need of a shoe polish were in town for Comic-Con and their outfits needed to be glistening to look their best.

Reddit // u/MrPrestige

Delayed Maturity

Most people go for the generic welcome home signs when greeting a friend or family member back from a trip, but others get creative. Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there when there is no food in the house and its just incredibly frustrating that your mom isn’t there to restock the fridge. This son decided to take this concept and run with it by showing up at the airport in a penguin onesie along with a sign signaling which food was finished in the house.

Time Limits

This sign is situated at the city of Aalborg in Denmark’s airport. At many airports, the stewards are incredibly aggressive when it comes to cars blocking up the space in the roadside check-in line as they say goodbye to their loved ones. However, Denmark thought of a way round this and designated a “Kiss and Goodbye” area to cherish those last few moments with your loved one before their travels. Nonetheless, they did decided to cut off the smooch session at 3 minutes.

Twitter // @The_Zarina

Heel!

Traveling can be stressful enough as it is, so imagine doing it with young children. Between making sure all of your children are accounted for and keeping them calm is a huge challenge in itself. That scene from Home Alone 2 when Kevin gets on the plane to New York City alone is a prime example of why parents should watch their children like hawks. This mother decided to stop her kids from running off by putting them on leashes, but it didn’t look too useful in practice.

Reddit // u/[deleted]

Terminally Grounded

There are some natural disasters that no one can prevent from happening and the effect is huge for natives of that place. These people were trying to get back to their home in Asia, but bad flying conditions were preventing them from getting home, so they were stranded at the airport for days with no flights on the horizon. However, they decided to be incredibly resourceful and use cardboard boxes as makeshift beds. Despite looking like homeless people, it worked!

Imgur // Noname

Organized Security

Airports are said to have the tightest security of any official establishment. History shows that airports and planes are targets for terrorism and passengers don’t want to find any reason to question the safety of air travel. Therefore, when someone spotted that a security officer was playing a game of solitaire on the computer instead of checking passports and profiles, it caused quite the uproar. This is one time that you really shouldn’t be procrastinating at work!

Flickr // dadavidov

Sparking An Idea

Having no phone battery at the airport can honestly be a complete travesty. Not being able to pass the long waiting hours by texting your friends and scrolling through social media is one of the worst things. At many airports they have introduced charging stations that charge you, but is this really fair? One traveler was outraged at the concept of being charged so thought outside the box and plugged his phone into the outlet the machine was using!

Check Your Lightsabers At The Counter

When a new Star Wars movie comes out, the die-hard fans need to prep and plan accordingly for what might be the most monumental moment of their year. These fans decided to coordinate before the release of The Last Jedi to ensure they experienced it altogether. When the Stormtrooper’s friend, Darth Vader arrived at Denver airport, they greeted him by playing the “Imperial March” out loud and celebrated his arrival at the gate while onlookers couldn’t help but laugh.

Imgur // RedShotRonin

A Warm Welcome

The smug look on this guy’s face is confusing. We can’t really tell if he’s upset or goofing around, but this sign is hilarious. “The guy who knocked up my sister” seems like an awkward greeting to what we’re guessing is his brother-in-law. He looks like he came to the airport and casually waited for his sister’s partner. We’re hoping that this guy wasn’t the one breaking the news that they’re expecting to whoever he was picking.

Imgur // Youandmeandrainbows

Passenger Falcons

Messenger pigeons were thought to be a thing of the past, but it seems that these sneaky falcons thought up a genius way to make their journey easier and less strenuous by traveling on commercial airline. While that would be a hilarious story, what was actually happening was a Saudi Prince paying for his 80 falcons to travel between the United Arab Emirates. For an average person this would never be permitted, but the Prince used his status to get what he wanted.

Reddit // u/lensoo

Too Specific

This family wanted to think of a hilarious way to welcome the matriarch home in the most embarrassing way possible. As they waited for their mother and wife, they held up signs welcoming her back from prison! As the mother walked through the gate to see her family holding the mortifying signs, she immediately turned the other way and pretended she didn’t know them. The signs got quite a few questionable looks from other passengers but the family will never forget the priceless look on their mom’s face.

Reddit // u/richardec

Mommy & Mini-Me

There’s no better way to make light of a situation than to poke fun at yourself. That’s what this new mama did with her welcome home sign. Pointing out the fact that she’s gained weight since having the baby (we think she looks great), inviting daddy to come to meet his mini-me. We’re sure daddy was happy to see his wife and newborn, and that nothing else really even matters!

Twitter // @MyDailyMagazin1

Traveling Light

You find all sorts of people in the airport from all walks of life, and some of them can appear as something out of the ordinary. Interestingly, these two people were at Seattle airport, just weeks within each other, along with their huge, antique type writers. Not only are they completely impractical to travel with, they probably raised some eyebrows at security. Companies like Apple have come out with lightweight, small, state-of-the-art technology, so can someone please buy these people an iPad?!

These High School Seniors Made Their Mark With These Hilarious Yearbook Entries

Funny Yearbook

When it comes to choosing a yearbook quote, most high school seniors will go with one of a few options. Some students choose a powerful song or poem lyric that speaks to them, maybe something that helped them to get through a particularly difficult period of time. We’ve dedicated this list to the select few high school seniors who decide that, rather than taking their senior quotes seriously, they would prefer to use them as a chance to make teachers, parents, and fellow students laugh. The former high school students on our list truly went above an beyond in their quest for comedic gold. These hilarious high school yearbook photos will have you in tears from laughing so hard.

18 Years And Going Strong!

It’s safe to assume that Michelle has probably heard her fair share of rude comments, wisecracks, and jokes about her family’s name.

yearbook
18 Years And Going Strong!

As a matter of fact, in middle school just about every time a teacher needed to read the attendance list, Michelle would ask to use the rest room. A lot of time has passed since her days of hiding in the bathroom during the daily attendance and grown-up Michelle wants the world to know that she is now proud to be a Ho!

Something Doesn’t Add Up…

High school was hard for Zachary Chastain. It’s nothing short of a miracle that he somehow managed to balance academics, extra curricular activities, a social life, and college applications, all on top of being a teenage male single mother with no children.

yearbook
Something Doesn’t Add Up…

The yearbook committee had a policy of accepting every yearbook quote, as long as they weren’t vulgar, so Zachary’s still made the cut. Once all of the students saw what he wrote, they realized that they probably should have been friends with him.

Liar, Liar

Brandon and Tasha seem to both have a pretty warped view of what ‘everyone’ is thinking.

yearbook
Liar, Liar

While Brandon is clearly a bit delusional, assuming that everyone he has ever come in contact with thinks he his the nicest guy ever, Tasha also doesn’t seem to be the most reliable source, making the outlandish statement on behalf of ‘everyone’ that Brandon Dawson is a serial liar. With senior year in the books, these two will just have to agree to disagree.

She Didn’t Choose The Single Life, The Single Life Chose Her

For many, high school can be some of the cruelest and loneliest years of life. The awkward trials and tribulations of love can leave many adolescents feeling overwhelmed, and helpless.

yearbook
She Didn’t Choose The Single Life, The Single Life Chose Her

These students cling to the hope that they will find a significant other in their 20s. While her four years of high school were certainly difficult, at least Morgan has a sense of humor about it and will be able to laugh at her hilarious yearbook quote for years to come.

Modest Maxwell

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s what Maxwell Barrett learned from his high school experience. Maxwell’s sense of humor and inspirational attitude definitely came in handy during his high school years.

yearbook
Modest Maxwell

While he most likely dealt with his fair share of bullying, ridicule, and name-calling before graduation, Maxwell certainly got the last laugh with his hilarious and clever yearbook quote. We just hope that Maxwell brought his positive outlook, sense of humor, and wardrobe with him to college!

Quoting A Scholar

Kim Kardashian is at it again, proving to the world why her net worth is valued at $175 million. If you thought it was her television show, fashion empire, or relationship with rapper Kanye West that led her to her current level of fame and success, think again.

yearbook
Quoting A Scholar

Before the highly intellectual Kim Kardashian was known for her reality television series, business exploits, or overly publicized love life, she rose to fame as one of the world’s leading linguistics scholars.

The Over-Share

It was always a mystery why Tyler Bentley would laugh hysterically for the entirety of sixth period, her first class after lunch. Well, the mystery has officially been solved.

yearbook
The Over-Share

Tyler should learn that some things are better kept secret, or at least not published in her high school yearbook for all of her classmates to see. When it comes to sharing information about bodily functions, less is always more. It finally makes sense why she laughed so much harder on pizza day.

Never Too Old

Here we have yet another clever duo of yearbook neighbors. This time they wanted to honor everyone’s favorite Nickelodeon cartoon.

yearbook
Never Too Old

Considering that the first episode of Spongebob Squarepants aired all the way back in 1999, this is truly a timeless reference and will probably still be relevant when these two decide to reminisce and share some cherished high school memories with their children and possibly even grandchildren. This just goes to show that you’re never too old for some Spongebob.

Missy Knows Best

When the school administrators told Hannah to “pick a quote that matches your personality,” she knew exactly who she wanted to quote- none other than her role model Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot.

Missy Elliot is a rapper and producer who pretty much ruled the 1990s and early 2000s with her catchy beats, innovative style, and willingness to say anything on her mind. When they asked Hannah why she chose Missy to be her senior quote her response was, “Real recognize real, right?!”

Twinning

Yearbook twin jokes never get old. With practically endless material out there and two photos almost guaranteed to appear next to one another, twins never cease to amaze us.

yearbook
Twinning

This time, Katherine and Rebecca Henderson came up this hilarious side-by-side demonstration of why it’s so awesome to be a twin. While most of their classmates probably laughed and appreciated the twins’ humor, we’re not so sure that their parents felt the same way when they saw their daughters’ page in the yearbook.

Syked!

Having a positive self image is so important, especially for high school students. Garrett Syke is the perfect example of what it means to be proud of who you are.

yearbook
Syked!

While having butterflies is typically a sign of love or attraction and some might even say it’s a little weird to get them when thinking about oneself, we’re just going to go ahead and call it a sign of self-admiration. Way to go Garrett Syke! Keep being who you are!

Quoting A Legend

While we don’t doubt that Martin Luther King Junior probably did, in fact, eat some incredibly delicious tacos at some point during his life, we’re not sure that these exact words actually came out of King’s mouth.

yearbook
Quoting A Legend

Sure, if the tacos were actually some really good tacos, he could have said it, but we can’t help but wonder if this high school graduate could have maybe chosen a better, more appropriate quote from the most influential civil rights leader of all time.

Not A Morning Person

Connor Hart must have a pretty bizarre morning routine. For just about every high school student, the act of waking up is the most difficult part of the morning by a landslide. For Connor, however, there is something more challenging that he faces every morning.

yearbook
Not A Morning Person

Perhaps Connor has a strict and demanding workout regiment that he follows each and every morning. This could also explain why Conor never wears sweatpants to school because they are always dirty after his morning workouts.

Classic Shwartz!

This one is really just classic Shwartz. We all thought he had outdone himself when he took his shirt off at the senior museum field trip and started riding one of the dinosaurs. But nope!

yearbook
Classic Shwartz!

Shwartzy is at it again! Good old Greg definitely had his fair share of success with the ladies during his reign at GHS and was never shy about it. We’re just thankful that the always-classy Shwartz decided to pull off one more epic senior year shenanigan before graduation.

Giving Credit Wear Credit Is Do

This gentleman used his yearbook quote to give a shoutout to all of the English teachers who have molded him into an intelligent and capable young.

yearbook
Giving Credit Wear Credit Is Do

We’re sure his WHS teachers are so proud of how far he has come since his freshman year, when his writing needed improvement, to say the least. Now, as a graduating senior, he has learned so much more than can be taught in the classroom. His former teachers are confident that he will always do the write thing.

Know Your Role

Mitchell Wieland decided to use his senior yearbook quote to drop some harsh truths on his peers. While parents will often tell their children to “be themselves,” this advice can oftentimes be problematic and misleading.

yearbook
Know Your Role

What parents fail to consider is the possibility that their kid is naturally an unlikeable and undesirable person. Thankfully, for these kids, that’s where Mitchell comes in to tell them that it might be better to just try to blend in with the crowd.

An Honest Vegetarian

These days, it seems that everyone is talking about the latest dieting trends. Whether it’s vegan, vegetarian, paleo, or carb-free, the food we eat has become much more than a source of nutrition.

yearbook
An Honest Vegetarian

For some, switching to a plant-based diet has become an obsession. We all know that one vegan who, no matter what, will never stop talking about being a vegan, despite obvious social clues of disinterest. As the first ever honest vegetarian, Ankit Jain is truly a breath of fresh air.

Just One Time

Jason Avina chose to use his yearbook quote as an opportunity to advocate for one of everybody’s favorite breakfast foods. With absolutely zero context, we’re not really sure what Jason wants us to do with the information presented under his photo.

yearbook
Just One Time

Perhaps Jason was trying to drop hints about the graduation present he had been hoping for- a gift certificate to his favorite bagel place. A much more likely option, Jason was simply a class clown looking for one last laugh before graduation.

Honesty Is The Best Policy

Anyone who’s seen Mean Girls, knows that high school girls can be incredibly cruel to their peers. Alixandra Garcia was apparently known among other students as a hilarious friend who would often say things that were so mean, there’s no way she could have possibly meant them.

yearbook
Honesty Is The Best Policy

Alixandra decided to use her yearbook platform to confess that she was, in fact, being entirely serious with all of the terrible things she said over her high school career. At least she was honest.

Dropping Some Knowledge

With one of the more profound and inspirational quotes on our list, James Curtin decided to quote a man with wisdom far beyond his years. We’re talking about none other than Sisqo of course, an R&B legend from the late ’90s.

yearbook
Dropping Some Knowledge

Some might argue that Sisqo’s subject matter is simply too deep for a high school senior to comprehend. But James Curtin would dare to disagree. James believes that it’s never too early to take on deeply philosophical texts and quotes.

Ambition

We could all learn a lot from Madi Genz and her inspirational attitude when it comes to food.

yearbook
Ambition

Madi is a true go-getter and the type of girl who refuses to let limitations such as dietary guidelines or what may or may not be considered socially acceptable hold her back from chasing her dreams and turning them into reality. There’s no mountain she can’t climb, no ocean she can’t swim, no obstacle she can’t conquer, and no pizza she can’t scarf down in one sitting.

That Spelling, Though

The always eloquent John Wayne has brought us some great words to live by. Wayne’s advice on how to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life is so moving that this gentleman decided that it belonged in a place where its wise words could echo into eternity- his high school yearbook.

yearbook
That Spelling, Though

This powerful commentary was included alongside two equally powerful senior photos. The only thing that could possibly strengthen this quote would be a quick spell check. Nicely done, yearbook editors.

That’s What She Quoted

Something tells us this kid might be a fan of The Office. Raunak Manandhar’s clever yearbook quote is a play on words inspired by one of Michael Scott’s favorite one-liners.

yearbook
That’s What She Quoted

While at first, it may be unclear or difficult to understand, anyone who’s seen the show will surely appreciate Raunak’s subtle and dry sense of humor. We’re just glad that Raunak decided against using a boring inspirational quote like most of his peers and went with something a little more entertaining.

Shake And Bake

These yearbook neighbors drew some inspiration from the famous Will Ferrel comedy film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. As huge Ferrel fans, Anthony and William decided to get creative when they realized that their yearbook photos would be placed next to one another.

yearbook
Shake And Bake

The shake and bake duo of Ricky Bobby and Cal Naughton Jr. was the perfect starting point for this brilliant yearbook idea. It was definitely worth convincing the yearbook photographer to capture the notorious fist bump.

The Spam Folder

Well played, Segun. The best way to deal with sticking out in the crowd is to simply embrace your differences. Segun is the perfect example of this theory.

yearbook
The Spam Folder

When he first got his photo taken for the yearbook, he clearly understood that his name would stick out in a sea of typical American names like John Smith or Sam Thompson. So Segun Akigbogun decided to use his yearbook quote to acknowledge and embrace his Nigerian roots in the most hilarious way possible.

A Can-Do Attitude

Here is a student who simply can’t be brought down, no matter what. Despite the face that Yonosuke Shigeta’s 10th grade English teacher told him he’d never amount to anything, he continues to put his best foot forward and strive for excellence.

yearbook
A Can-Do Attitude

The ultimate secret to his success is his tunnel vision. Yunosuke has the unique ability to turn any negative feedback into a positive and beneficial learning experience. He is always putting his time and energy into what matters most.

Not A Typo

Carlos Carlos from the class of 2017 had a rough time in high school. “It wasn’t just hilarious because he had two first names, but also because both first names were the exact same name!” said class bully Chad Stevens.

yearbook
Not A Typo

“I honestly felt an obligation to pick on him for it.” Since his yearbook entry was published, Carlos has moved on to college, where he is still frequently ridiculed for his hilarious name. He has been contemplating legally changing his name.

The King Of The Dad Joke

Bumb Avkit always knew what to say to get his teachers laughing. However, his unique brand of puns didn’t sit as well with his fellow classmates.

yearbook
The King Of The Dad Joke

While they initially found his humor to be mildly entertaining, the novelty soon wore off and Avkit’s jokes were eventually received with sighs and scoffs rather than laughter and applause. Based on his pun game, However, Avkit may just have a long and successful career as a dad joke comedian in his near future.

Taking A Stand

Agboke Toluwalope decided to use her yearbook entry as an opportunity to stand up for African high school seniors all over the country.

yearbook
Taking A Stand

Agboke strongly believes that the number of syllables should not influence how badly the principal butchers a name when the time comes to walk across the stage and accept a diploma. Agboke just wants her school to recognize that not everyone grew up with easy to pronounce names like Jennifer Smith, Sarah Johnson, Tiffany Goldstein, or Jessica Thompson.

Silence The Doubters

Nothing feels better than proving someone wrong who thought you couldn’t succeed. However, it’s a little different when your very own mother was the one doubting you in the first place.

yearbook
Silence The Doubters

Mothers are supposed to believe in their children, no matter how ambitious their dreams may be. Let’s face it, graduating high school isn’t exactly the same thing as discovering a cure for cancer. We hope that Sofia continues to surprise her mother, along with anyone else who doubts her.

Ladies’ Man

Though he may not look the part, Keegan Large was the smoothest ladies’ man in his entire high school. He even won the superlatives of Class Flirt, Nicest Eyes, Most Likely To Succeed, and Best Hair.

yearbook
Ladies’ Man

Ever since his sophomore year, ladies were lining up to date MHS’s most eligible bachelor. Some of the teachers even admitted to having a crush on the charming and handsome student. For his yearbook entry, Keegan chose to use his very own motto as his quote.

Spellcheck Is There For A Reason

For those of you who may not be familiar with popular rap music, Gucci Mane is a popular figure in the world of hip-hop who rose to fame in the mid-2000s. Gucci Mane has certainly made a name for himself in the world of rap and hip-hop music.

yearbook
Spellcheck Is There For A Reason

But we’re not so sure he’s the best possible source for a yearbook quote. While other students went with quotes from Steve Jobs or Albert Einstein, Jared went with this poorly-spelled quote from his rap hero.

Shameless Self-Promotion

Marvin Biano has always strived to be the next big hip-hop superstar. Even though he graduated with honors, his heart has always been in his music.

yearbook
Shameless Self-Promotion

Rather than finding an inspirational quote which defined the four years he spent in high school, Biano decided to seize the opportunity and promote his latest mix tape. These days, it’s all about getting your music to reach as many people as possible. After all, you never know whose parent might be a big-time record executive.

Words Hurt

This student is sick of people calling her a dumb blonde and she wants her entire high school to know that she has had enough! Unfortunately, she must have gotten her words mixed up and ended up submitting this yearbook entry, which most likely did not help her cause.

yearbook
Words Hurt

Hopefully, she got a dictionary as a graduation present so she can look up the correct way to use “pet peeves.” Hopefully, she’ll be able to laugh about this hilarious mix-up one day.

Joanna’s Guide To Success

Joanna Clark has always been an overachiever. Her can-do attitude, high level of motivation, and all-or-nothing mentality have helped her come in third place back to back years at the state tennis tournament, finish high school in the middle of her class, and get into the safety school of her dreams.

yearbook
Joanna’s Guide To Success

In her acceptance speech for winning runner-up for best hair in her class’s senior superlatives, Joanna made sure to thank her parents, teachers, siblings, and “most importantly, Paris Hilton.”

Sharing A Private Moment

Everyone has their own relaxation methods. Who are we to judge Aaron Portillo for what he wants to do during his nightly bath time? What he wants to do within the confines of his tub is his business and his business only.

yearbook
Sharing A Private Moment

However, we have to admit that it is a bit concerning that he felt the need to share this strange part of his personal life with his entire high school. Some things are better kept to yourself, Aaron.

Wait For It…

When best friends Emily and Benjamin heard that their photos would be placed in the yearbook next to each other, they couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to share one of their favorite Barney Stinson quoted from How I Met Your Mother.

yearbook
Wait For It…

The only thing that would have made this yearbook entry more epic would have been the dramatic and suspenseful effect of needing to turn the page between each photo. We still think it came out pretty awesome though.

Use Your Emojination

James Royel is a high school senior who knows how to think outside the box. While most of his classmates went with boring words for their senior year yearbook quotes, James decided to get creative and express himself in a different way.

yearbook
Use Your Emojination

When making a statement, sometimes, words just don’t get the job done. Sometimes, if you want to truly add emphasis and evoke an emotional response, you need to add emoticons, also known as emojis, to your work.

Triple The Fun

Ever since they were little, the Durham triplets, Kassidy, Keaton, and Kylee, were always known for their hilarious shenanigans. They simply had a knack for comedy.

yearbook
Triple The Fun

In elementary school, their jokes became so distracting to other students, that teachers needed to physically separate them and place them in different classrooms. When it came time to select quotes for their yearbook, the entire school was expecting something big from the Durhams. They definitely did not disappoint with this hysterically cheesy knock-knock joke.

Quoting Yeezy

When it came time for Kelly to choose a yearbook quote, she decided to go with a quote from one of the greatest musical geniuses of our generation- Kanye West.

yearbook
Quoting Yeezy

While she could have quoted one of his many song lyrics that provide an astute social commentary on the politics of the 21st century, or maybe even one of his intelligent Tweets about family, she decided to go with this Kanye quote, which criticizes flight attendants for giving out unnecessary water bottles.

When You Put It That Way…

Jessica Enciso is truly an original thinker. In today’s world, we spend countless hours worrying about whether or not we’ll ever find that one special someone.

yearbook
When You Put It That Way…

We think about and stress over our potential loneliness so much that we miss out on valuable time which could be spent sleeping. With just one senior yearbook quote, Jessica unintentionally started a movement which urges men and women to spend more time sleeping and less time swiping. She then took to Twitter, tweeting, “#moresleeplessswipe.”

Keeping His Eye On The Prize

Will Faurot never let his eye patch get in the way of his love life. Over time, he learned how to use it to his advantage.

yearbook
Keeping His Eye On The Prize

When asked about it in an interview, Will said, “Girls were always quite curious about the eye patch, but they never knew how to ask me about it. Maybe they were worried I’d get offended. But once I started making jokes, it opened a whole new world of possibilities.” Will was voted “Class Ladies’ Man.”

Still Counts

Hannah Goldsborough learned a valuable lesson in high school. She learned that, as long as you finish something, it doesn’t matter how close you came to failure. The only thing that matters is that bullet point on your resume.

yearbook
Still Counts

When the time came for job interviews, Hannah only needed to explain that she graduated high school. She chose not to share that she “barely” graduated because that piece of information was not relevant. Her yearbook quote was a different story.

Just To Be Clear…

High school was tough for Alice, Kim, Theresa, and Vivian Nguyen. Every single student, and even most of the school faculty just assumed they were quadruplets without even thinking to ask.

yearbook
Just To Be Clear…

No matter how many times they attempted to get the point across that they weren’t sisters, nobody paid attention. They even went so far as to make an announcement over the loudspeaker after the Pledge of Allegiance. Hopefully, their classmates will finally understand that they aren’t quadruplets.

Life’s Not Fair

Sometimes, life is unfair. That’s what Aditya Tammana learned when he tried to stick it to the man with his yearbook quote which happened over the 100 character limit. Aditya truly believed that his voice was censored by the school’s harsh administration.

yearbook
Life’s Not Fair

Out of his frustration, he tried to lead a school-wide walk-out in protest. Unfortunately, the school year had already finished, and no one else showed up to protest alongside him during their last summer vacation before college.

An American Pastime

These two senior baseball players just can’t seem to remember their positions, so we will try to clarify. Will is the pitcher and Makenzie plays catcher. Or is Makenzie the catcher and Will the pitcher? Or do they switch off between the two positions?

yearbook
An American Pastime

Apparently, we also can’t recall who plays what. In either case, the baseball team finished with a state championship in their last high school season ever, so both Will and Makenzie came out on top.

Proof

Paulyn Trinh has always been the type of student to think ahead. She was already planning which colleges she would be applying to back in middle school.

yearbook
Proof

When it came time to choose a yearbook quote, Paulyn decided to use her yearbook entry to serve a different and unusual purpose. She wanted to have some proof for her future children that she was “hot back in high school.” As usual, Paulyn was thinking ahead, preparing herself for anything and everything.

Just A Lil’ Yearbook Joke

Lucky enough to have seats assigned in alphabetical order, Abbigail and Tory spent all of senior year sitting next to each other in first period, thanks to their shared last name.

yearbook
Just A Lil’ Yearbook Joke

Over the course of months, they weighed out their options and ultimately chose these powerful lyrics from the inspirational musician, Lil’ Jon. Not everyone understood their choice of yearbook quotes, but at least they could take their bond to college and beyond.

No Shame In The Game

Makenzie Goluba just wanted to clear the air. Following a series of false rumors that began circling her junior year, Makenzie just wanted all of her classmates to know the truth.

yearbook
No Shame In The Game

Rather than picking the typical yearbook quote, Makenzie decided to dismiss the rumors about herself and proclaim her love for food as well as her healthy eating habits. We sure hope that her classmates respect the courage it took her to face this issue head on, in the high school yearbook.

C’s Get Degrees

Hugh Vo is an athlete with his priorities in order. The All-American football player had an amazing high school athletic career and is hoping to make a big impact at the next level.

yearbook
C’s Get Degrees

While football will be a big part of Hugh’s new life in college, he understands that he is a student first and athlete second. That’s why he’ll be provided with the best tutor the university has to offer to take his tests and write his papers for him.
