Created in 2021, "Seen On Maps" has attracted an impressive following of almost 250,000 people, who share a common appreciation for the quirky and surprising moments that unfold in everyday surroundings. From curious animal encounters and peculiar vehicle sightings to spontaneous street performances, the Twitter page has become a digital gallery of the unexpected.

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.

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.

We need people to get OFF their phones when they're walking along the street and interact with their surroundings...like not bumping into other pedestrians, wheelchair users, pram pushers, blind people, road signs, etc., etc.

So what happens if you wanna be a rebel and text in the no texting lane?

Depends who else is in the lane. If you bump into me, for example, you will need a new mobile.

Good in theory, except the people engrossed in texting will never notice those markings.

There’s going to be some idiot that will tests this lane, then again we non texters can just push them over (gently-don’t want anyone crying) to the left , right?

This does seem like a good idea but I actually don't believe this is a real photo. If it is I'd love to know where. Because it kind of seems absurd. Lol

I've seen a cartoon similar to this, with people walking slowly in the texting lane. I didn't know it was a real thing.

How would you even know you were in the right lane if you were texting and walking? Await a collision 💥

If you're texting how would you even know if you were in the correct lane?

Could you drop something harmless on their heads of the texting ones? Maybe comedic shock treatment?? 😁

I hate those individuals walking around glued to their mobiles checking their stup*d "status" on those rubbish "social media"! Just 2 days ago, a young lady, glued to the mobile, got very close of getting hit by a cab. Cab driver was utterly cross with her..and I don't blame him

The problem is we mostly blame young people, but older people are just as bad.

I don’t think the people texting are going to see the difference, LOL. 🤣

This is actually very smart, assuming the texting lane doesn't wander over. LOL

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.

Man that man is way too big for that poor horse or pony and he's pulling the reins too strongly. Buck him off!!!
