Living in China I tend to come across some of the most ridiculous things. I wanted to share my experiences with my friends all over so I started an Instagram @shanghaiobserved to share daily photos of Shanghai: #dailyshanghaiphoto.

It quickly turned into something people all over could relate to and I started to get submissions from lots of different people. My feed consists of all the strange things I see on a daily basis. Here is a collection of my favorite pieces of clothing and accessories.

My daughter did some modeling in Japan when she was a toddler. The clothing company dressed one of the little boys in the same shoot as her in a t-shirt that has an image of a peanut butter cup and it said "peanut butter MF" (but spelled out). The boy's mom asked them to use a different shirt, but when the magazine came out, they'd found a little boy whose parents apparently approved. Yikes!

Other than odd text placement, I certainly have moments where I would welcome such a shirt.

You know the shocking thing about this, I bet these people were lied to about the wording when they bought them. Who would wear this even in an English speaking country. When I see people with Chinese or Japanese tats, I can't help thinking ..what does it really say?

She doesn't know what is says. This reminds me of people who get "Asian tattoos" thinking they say something spiritual but in reality say something lame like, soup or ducks *L*

I saw a Japanese girl wearing shorts with "TOUCH THIS!" on the back. I wondered if she didn't know what it meant or she actually wanted someone to grope her.

This is why I don't wear clothes with foreign language slogans. Nor repeat phrases people I don't trust try to teach me.

Not China, but pre-members of a japanese girl group "Morning Musume".

Be funnier if they told the people what their clothing said. Before and after pics.

I need that shirt, but definitely in a different color. I feel like this bright pink, besides being an ugly color, it may just make people follow you

That's what I call timing. I just finished watching the Friends episode where Phoebe sets Rachel up with someone and he ends up giving her a shirt that says "FBI Female Body Investigator".

I was thinking it's a great shirt, then I got to the Bieber part. Yeah, I don't think the Biebs is bigger than Satan

Yullia, please don't spam Bored Panda. It's unbecoming, and we're not going to fall for your click bait anyway.

Smoking and texting on a motorcycle...nice. But not as nice as the motorcycle with a USB charger
