Have you ever heard a tale so tall that you refused to believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes? Or maybe you witnessed something crazy and just knew that nobody would take you seriously if you didn’t have proof. Thankfully, it’s easier nowadays to provide “receipts” of events. We can whip out our phones and quickly snap a photo or video as evidence that we aren’t spinning stories.
People have been sharing photos of things they’ve seen in the wild. Always prepared to be told, “Pics Or It Never Happened.” Bored Panda had a blast putting together a list of amazing, bizarre and sometimes hilarious photographs captured by those who felt they might have to validate their words. Each photo tells its own unique story, and quite frankly, we’d find it hard to believe that many of these moments could ever happen twice. Sit back and keep scrolling. Don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you look twice. Don’t miss the super interesting chat we had with expert mobile phone photographer Alessio La Ruffa. He shared some awesome tips and tricks on how to best capture pics that you might need to use as receipts.

Saw this on my mail route today. There’s a lot of reasons why your mailman might not deliver your packages, and this is one of them. I can handle a dog, but not a dog with an axe.

My parents forbade me from going to Lollapalooza '93 in Philadelphia on account of it being too dangerous. Went anyway.

#21 A Chainsaw Carving Competition In Vancouver
They had five minutes to make a chair out of a tree stump. Everyone was carving their chairs, and one guy was just stabbing this stump over and over in weird ways with the chainsaw, we had no idea what he was doing. Then he made one last cut and four tiny chairs and a table came flying out of the pieces of this log. It was incredible.

When I was in 10th grade my high school friends didn't believe that Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen used to be friends with my twin brother and I. We were labeled as compulsive liars and it was brought up whenever we would say anything they could perceive as a lie. We found a picture of them at our birthday party that shut them up. Brother posted it to reddit a few years ago and it made it to the front page

#39 Had A Flight To Myself And Sat In First Class With The Rest Of Crew
A couple years ago I had a layover in chicago while flying from philly to phoenix. There was a tornado or something in chicago so they decided to fly straight from philly to phoenix, so all the people who were going to chicago had to be rerouted. This ended up being everyone but me and the flight crew. they told me i could come sit up in first class, and the pilot made all his announcement directly to me like "we are arriving in phoenix protell, and the temperature is 90 and sunny". it was pretty cool. My flight attendants name was Bella, and she told me "just let me know whenever you need anything". she sat in the seat across from me and we talked much of the flight. Since i was sitting in first class she said i was allowed all the perks of first class which included free alcoholic drinks and meals etc. it was kind of awkward when i did want a drink, i was sitting talking to this nice girl then, "hey bella, could you get me another piña colada?" But she said she didn't mind at all since it was supposed to be a full flight and she would have been waiting on 20 people instead of just me.
