38 Expectations Vs Realities And Other Lies The World Told People

Sometimes your expectations just lose to the reality of the situation. Is it us getting swept up in our own hopes and dreams, blinded by an optimistic outlook? Or are we victims of lies being forced upon us? It's a notion as old as time — people say never meet your heroes, or not to get your hopes up when something major is on the line. It's all about managing expectations so when reality inevitably disappoints, you're not too bummed out.

You be the judge of how these strange expectations vs. reality memes affect your perception of the world; some appear to be clever camera tricks, while others are a blatant slap-to-the-face of the average person's intelligence. Some of these images will surprise you, and others (superhero popsicles from the ice cream truck!) may bring about similar memories from childhood. The soft pretzel machine that has a sign claiming to be all out of pretzels? We can see the pretzels in there. Stop lying to us. We're smarter than this, and we deserve better.
