It's a fact of life that everyone messes up from time to time, whether due to unfortunate circumstances or personal misjudgments. Fortunately, these awkward moments often go undocumented on camera, sparing us from undue embarrassment. However, there are exceptions, and while it's not appropriate to laugh at someone else's distress, the camera can sometimes capture those candid moments that tickle our funny bone. We've compiled a list of funny photos taken just a second before something hilarious was about to happen.
