As technology connects the online world with the real world, Google Street View has become like a modern window to this mix. Launched in 2007, it started with American cities, capturing the first images of streets, landmarks, and neighborhoods. It quickly grew into a global endeavor, mapping streets and landscapes around the world.

Google Street View lets us virtually walk on streets in faraway places, check out charming areas, and even see bits of how people live around the world. It's within these digital wanderings that the team behind "Seen On Maps" has found a treasure trove of hilarity and unexpected moments.

Laughed so hard at this comment. The first thing that popped in my head was "well that's not handicap accessible".

This image is from 2019. At the time, local residents found this unacceptable, and removed the poles! See this article, in French... https://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/paris-ile-de-france/paris/paris-face-polemique-caisse-epargne-retire-dispositif-anti-sdf-devant-ses-agences-1704886.html But it seems that since then the new solution has been to close everything with walls... https://www.google.com/maps/@48.8301828,2.3204647,3a,75y,96.16h,71.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sTH8kCB1lpeLry1BMyaT6bg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Sure, cheer on the dude for doing that instead of taking his bedding somewhere else…he took time time and effort to drag or carry that stuff all the way there from wherever he got it, rather than just not sleeping in that spot.

One can stumble upon a lot of hilarious or peculiar incidents on the streets. Thanks to technology, you don’t necessarily need to leave your home to experience them. For example, in 2010, Google Street View captured a man in a horse mask in Aberdeen, Scotland in the Hardgate area of the city. This sparked various online memes and speculations.

Animals interacting with Google Street View cars have also led to some comical moments. There have been instances of curious dogs chasing the camera car, cats lounging on sidewalks, and even a camel wandering the streets of Dubai.

What do you think about these pictures? Have you ever seen something funny on the streets yourself? Every story adds a unique brushstroke to the colorful canvas of everyday life. So don't hesitate to tell yours in the comments and let the streets unfold their tales through your eyes!

This is very similar to one of the adapted trolleys they use at my local supermarket. Only difference is instead of the bike pedals, it has a motor.

The crash was caused when the car got distracted after it lit the filter end of the cigarette.

The first time one human saw another faceplant to the ground, humor was invented, much before the fire or the wheel.
