People have been getting stuck in embarrassing places ever since the world began. Thankfully, these days we now have photographic evidence of their misfortune.

The Irish Fast Food High Chair Incident

This first story might or might not have involved the drinking of copious amounts of alcohol. I’m guessing that it did. A guy in Cork, Ireland walks into the local MacDonald’s and decides to sit in one of the high chairs for kids. Did he get stuck there? Well, you might notice the concerned faces of several emergency workers in the picture.

The Private Parts Adventure

Personally, I’m chalking this one down to a failure on the part of the authorities in Tubingen, Germany. After all, if you are going to build a giant stone sculpture shaped like a women’s private region then what do you think that normally sane passersby are going to do? That’s right; they’re going to darned well get stuck in there. A team of 20 firefighters eventually helped him out, just in case you’re wondering if he’s still there. 

The Vintage Image

If an old person ever tells you that people were smarter and more sensible back in their day then show them this vintage picture. It proves without any shadow of a doubt that people got stuck in embarrassing places even when everyone wore black and white clothes all the time. This little chap looks very stoic about the whole thing, so I’m guessing that he either grew up to be a captain of industry or else he is still stuck somewhere right now.

The Failed Prison Escape

This guy was being held as a prisoner in a Brazilian jail. Hang on, he thought, I know to get out of here. I’ll make a hole in the wall that’s only slightly smaller than me. After all, why go to the trouble of making a hole that’s actually bigger than I am? A smaller rogue escaped before this chap tried to do the same and got wedged in there.  The guards look suitable amused.

Another Failed Prison Escape

Unless he was hoping to hang helplessly upside down from the roof for an unspecified period of time, that is. Apparently it is another attempted jail escape that didn’t go entirely to plan.

The Air Shaft Disaster

Now why would you even be in a building’s air shaft in the first place, sir? This unlucky fellow wanted to rob a pharmacy so he went about it the smart way and entered the air shaft. The crafty criminal was stuck there for 10 hours before someone heard his bleating, pathetic cries for help. Firefighters got him out half an hour later and then he got arrested. 

The Lost Phone and Lost Pride

The look on this man’s face just screams out “I know you’re going to be writing a sarcastic article about me getting me hand stuck in the toilet bowl and I don’t care a jot” Well you should buddy because ,well, just because. He lost his phone and his pride wasn’t too far behind it. The moral of this story if that if your phone falls down somewhere you wouldn’t want to be stuck then just let it go. It’s only a stupid phone, after all.
