Photos of people and animals who totally have their priorities straight

If you grew up in the ’90s, you might remember that classic Harry Potter scene where Hermione warns, “I’m going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled.” And Ron’s quick comeback? “She needs to sort out her priorities.”

Just like Hermione, the people—and animals—we’re about to see definitely could use a little help prioritizing. Whether it’s a confused dog wandering aimlessly, a solitary pretzel abandoned on the floor, or a girl going all out to save a seat for a friend, these snapshots perfectly capture some hilariously mixed-up priorities.

Climbing The Screen

This kitty was eager to explore the outdoors but quickly changed his mind once he stepped outside. Now, he’s scrambling up the screen door, desperate to get back inside where it feels safe.

A Great Mother

This mom chose to rest her baby’s carrier atop a pile of beer cases—a pretty risky place for an infant.

Clearly, some people still have a lot to learn about what parenting really demands.

Protective Gear

Sometimes fashion takes the lead over function. Sure, he could’ve just worn a plain mask—but where’s the fun (or fame) in that? Instead, he went all out rocking a full scuba suit—and the internet loved it.

The Perfect Decal

Rather than fixing the dent in his car, this person got creative and transformed it into a quirky feature by adding a Wile E. Coyote decal.

He Painted The Fence

This guy wasn’t actually keen on painting his fence—he just wanted to shut his neighbor up.

Now that’s some next-level pettiness. Let’s hope Bob got the hint.

Saving Some Seats

This girl is very committed to saving seats for her friends in class.

Her friends are lucky that she knows how to do the splits, otherwise, they would have to find somewhere else to sit.

Soup Of The Day

If the soup of the day is tequila, it’s clear that alcohol is your top priority.

Not sure tequila qualifies as soup, but hey, whatever works for you.

Different Strokes For Different Folks

Some folks enjoy the challenge of climbing hills, while others prefer the thrill of racing down them. Everyone has their own take on what matters most.

That said, the person on the bike definitely seems to have a bit of a daredevil streak.

He Found His Wedding Ring

Reddit user mrprince25 shared a photo and a surprising story about their long-lost wedding ring:

“Roughly six years ago, I lost my wedding ring and decided to get a tattoo instead of buying a new one. Since then, we’ve moved twice and now live in a completely different state. Just recently, my wife found it tucked away in one of her old purses.”

A Whole Field

This pup seems completely taken aback by the idea of having an entire field to himself.

It’s as if he’s never laid eyes on so much grass at once—and that expression says it all.

Filling The Frame

This guy noticed his wife’s empty photo frame had been sitting unused for ages, so he decided to take action himself.

It’s not quite stealing the Declaration of Independence, but it’s definitely in the same ballpark.

The Dangers Of Zoom

The pandemic has taught us many valuable lessons. One key takeaway is how crucial it is to give a heads-up to those in your household before jumping on a video call.

Always Pet The Cat

Whenever you have the chance to pet a cat, take it! It doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of a hug with someone else—cat pets always come first.

A Very Believable Fake License

This kid attempted to create a fake license, probably with the goal of driving? I’m not sure if he’s ever actually seen a real license, but I have to give him credit for his commitment.

His Favorite Brick

This dog loves carrying his favorite brick around.

It’s probably not great for his teeth or whatever surface he drops the brick on, but I don’t know if it’s fair to separate a dog from his favorite toy…

Zoo Priorities

Never mind getting eaten by ravenous zoo animals — if a zoo animal eats you, they could get very, very sick.

We don’t want any lions getting sick because they ate human flesh.

A Life Lesson

This kid was tasked with filling in the blank here with something that it’s okay to do.

Well, apparently, he very much cares about his ability to eat hot dogs in the bathtub.

A Console Photoshoot

This couple recently got a new game console, so they decided to take an announcement photo shoot with it, similar to how people do announcement photo shoots for their new babies.

Congratulations to the happy couple.

When You Gotta Go

A port-o-potty blew onto this intersection and now nobody gets past it. They had to call in the police to rectify the situation.

I have a choice word for how I would describe this incident, but it’s not exactly internet appropriate…

A Floor Pretzel

Reddit user avonsnacks posted this photo online along with the caption,

“This perfectly in-tact pretzel has been here for a year now <3 me and my s/o check to make sure it’s still there every time we go on a walk, and it always is.”

A Very Specific Bumper Sticker

This might be the most specific bumper sticker we’ve ever seen.

I would not rather be watching The Mummy, so I will refrain from honking at this time. I’m just not a Brendan Fraser fan.
