Ambiguity is inevitable. So when people run into it in everyday life, they often rely on their own assumptions, prior experience, or personal biases to fill in the gaps.

Found an anonymous "Thank You" note on the fridge? It's probably your partner expressing gratitude for the lunch you prepped them and not the ghost living under the bed. Noticed an abandoned umbrella in the park? Probably some absent-minded romantic left it there, and not Mary Poppins.

But too few cues can lead to confusion, a notion that the Facebook group 'Please, may I have a Crumb of Context?' successfully illustrates again and again, as its members share random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers.

    They tried to buy eggs and flour under the age of 18, and now the police are quacking down on antisocial behaviour.

    Misconstrued reference to an 80's anti-drug ad, in an attempt to be sarcastic.

    Anyone care to calculate how many s**t particles there are per square centimeter of fruit?

    "Tomber dans les pommes" which translates from French into English as "falling in the apples"....basically it means to faint :) I think this bird is demonstrating that 😂

    I mean, I can work out the context. It’s a thrift shop where the proceeds are put towards spaying and neutering of pets and/or strays.

    Correct. I happen to recognize this one, as I've been there... it's on Broadway in Seaside, OR. My wife bought a nice set of plates from this volunteer-run thrift shop.

    This is a store located in Seaside, Oregon. It's a thrift shop that donates all proceeds to a local shelter. Still, it's an unfortunate name.

    Pets are spayed (females), not spaded. I've heard too many people say it that way. Sorry if your comment was in jest.

    This is a step too far in making multiple services available in one business

    We take a little off your pets and a little off your price. No one gets screwed on the deal.

    "Uh yeah, I'd like to buy a few pair of dog balls please" said no one ever. EVER!

    If ever there was a thing not to buy on discount, this is it.

    So that's where all the nuts go when the wife divorces. Always wondered why there were so many jars at thrift stores

    Per Ozzy Osbourne, I thought it was "You gotta hear this f****** guy!" He was referring to a 9 y.o. Japanese kid play the guitar on Crazy Train.

    I know how this driver feels, not only is there the loud noise, but some of us are sensitive to the pressure change. This has total context to myself.
