Ever catch someone standing in public in a pose that makes you wonder if they’re frozen in time or auditioning for a low-budget sci-fi movie? Well, you’re not alone, thanks to the Instagram account “People Standing,” the digital mecca for all things awkwardly upright. With thousands of followers who seem to thrive on the absurdity of human behavior in the most mundane settings, this account is pretty much the paparazzi for everyday, awkward, stand-up human moments.
No one’s safe—from the guy contorted in an inexplicable posture at the bus stop, to the woman who looks like she’s doing an interpretive dance while waiting in line at the grocery store. So if you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one awkwardly existing in public spaces, prepare to feel seen. Scroll on for the crème de la crème of publicly awkward stances, courtesy of “People Standing.”
