Why is it that humans enjoy envisioning faces on inanimate objects? We love movies that put faces and personalities on cars and we laugh at plants that have buds and leaves in convenient places that form faces. In fact, an entire blog is devoted to pictures of just that: Faces in Places. Below are ten of the best photos of faces found in the craziest places.

1. I’ve Seen Things, Man

This house has a face that has seen too many owners do too many disturbing things. Maybe one was a hoarder, another a nudist. Either way, if you currently own this house, you better hope the realtor can convince potential buyers to look past the horrified face looking down at them.

2. Park Here, Park Here!

Don’t you wish every parking space was this happy to see your dirty tires? Usually, nothing fills the void between those two parallel lines, but old gum and crushed aluminum cans. Not here, though! This parking space with the grinning car is just waiting for you to pull in.

3. FIRE!

The grim look on this fire hose hookup is probably for a reason. The only time anyone ever pays attention to him is when something is burning to the ground. Not only that; how would you feel having to produce enough water (through your eyes, mind you!) to help put out said fire? Tell me again how much your life sucks?

4. Where Do You Get Your Hair Done?

It’s fitting that this face is on a control panel of some sort because doesn’t he look like a mad scientist? The crazy hair and missing tooth complete the look; both no doubt the result of another wacky experiment. I wonder what that knob does…?

5. Don’t You Dare Step on Him

Is this not the most badass leaf you have ever seen? He’s obviously wearing some kind of mask made especially for leaves because he doesn’t have a mouth. Or maybe he’s some mysterious super hero known worldwide by all kinds of leaves. Either way, he’s too good to change color like his buddies.

6. Alphabetize Me NOW!

The face on this box intended for organizing odds and ends matches its duty. If something inside this box got out of place, this face would get much more panicky. Oh, and you can’t label this box because then you’d be writing on its mouth and that’s just gross.

7. You’re So Hot

I’m not a big fan of really hot food, so if I cut into this pepper and saw this face, I’d be wary of eating it. It’s definitely a nice gesture, though. You know, predicting the face that the person who eats you is going to make.

8. Mustaches Look Good on Flowers

You’d think that a face on a flower would look feminine, but not this guy. Not only do his eyes show he’s pissed at the daisy across the flower bed, but the bushy mustache makes this beautiful flower so masculine, not even an expert could deny it.

9. Back to the Old Grind…

Imagine being inside of a watch or some other geared mechanism and you’d probably get a little crazy-looking, too. Hey, at least he’s still smiling!

10. Roll Over

This poor guy knows exactly what’s going to happen in the next couple of minutes. With that kind of frown, he wishes he was at the bottom of the roll basket like his buddy, Fred. If that were the case, he would end up being one of the leftovers that no one eats and wind up in the trash. Any trashcan is better than the human digestive system.

Where is the weirdest place that you have seen a faces?
