40 Photos That Show There Are Only Two Kinds Of People Out There

It’s surely one of the most common divides: are you a cat or a dog person? The couple in this picture even appear to resemble their choice of pet. You could almost mistake the happy man and dog on the left for twins! And that goes for the grumpier woman and cat lying on the sofa, too.

It’s no doubt adorable that the little girl in this picture’s so excited about heading back to school. But many of us can probably relate more to her little brother in the background. Instead of smiling for the camera with his new backpack, the boy looks like he’s going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming to class.

The woman on the left-hand side of this amusing comparison photo seems like she’s just taken a stroll to the corner store rather than run 13 miles. But the poor teary-eyed sister she’s roped in to the same half-marathon looks as if she’s been running for 13 days. Perhaps proof that you should never trust your sibling when it comes to exercise advice.

You certainly can’t accuse the girl on the left-hand side of this photo of not making an effort. Unfortunately, the more glammed-up trio on the right don’t seem to appreciate their fellow partygoer’s Roald Dahl-inspired cosplay. Still, at least the spitting image of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory brat Violet Beauregarde seems to be enjoying herself.

As one of the first pieces of home decor that visitors will see, the humble welcome mat can often tell you a lot about the person living on the other side. So it seems fair to suggest that these two next-door neighbors aren’t exactly kindred spirits. Judging by their mats of choice, one would happily offer you a drink and the other would pour it over you.

The people in this telling photo seem to adhere to the 1980s U.K. hit titled “You’ll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties.” But their looks couldn’t be more different. On one hand you’ve got the freshman dolled up to the nines. And on the other you’ve got the senior who appears ready to hit the gym.

The fall can be many people’s favorite season. Going leaf peeping, getting the chance to show off your new scarf, dousing everything you eat and drink in pumpkin spice. What’s not to like? For others, though, the time when the nights start drawing is the perfect opportunity to scare your neighborhood with terrifying, elaborate costumes.

Nothing quite underlines the difference between the sexes than the cameraphone snap. As this amusing comparison shows, most girlfriends will try to frame their loved one as Instagram-friendly as possible. Boyfriends, on the contrary, will use it as an opportunity to make their other half look as foolish as they can.

There are some people you just can’t take anywhere. The girl in the top half of this photo’s adopted a classy pose to show off the wonders of New York’s Museum of Illusions. In stark contrast, her mischievous boyfriend’s decided that it’s far more fun to pretend your face has firmly planted itself on the floor.

No doubt that most of us have gone through both of the Valentine’s Day experiences shown in this revealing supermarket pic. With their cupcakes and flowers, the shopper nearest the till looks all set for an evening of romance. The whiskey and chicken suggests that the person behind is all set for a party for one.

There are some morning people who can rise and shine with a spring in their step as soon as their alarm clock starts buzzing at an ungodly hour. But there are others who need a little more coaxing to wake from their slumbers. Every 12 minutes, it seems, judging by this highly relatable screenshot.

This side-by-side photo appears to prove once and for all that artists and programmers are very different beasts. On the right you have a man who keeps his workspace as orderly as his data. And on the left you see the housemate who may have spent more time adorning his walls with superhero paraphernalia than creating anything new.

One of these Renaissance Fair attendees is not like the other. The majority no doubt spent entire weekends carefully making their costumes look as authentic as possible. But the man in the middle’s simply put on whatever was lying at the bottom of his wardrobe and bought a cheap dragon inflatable. The guy on the left of the picture certainly doesn’t seem amused at this lack of effort.

Ah, you can’t beat a big slice of America’s national dessert, the apple pie. And what better to complement it than a squirt of whipped cream? Of course, some go so overboard with the can that they end up drowning the baked goodness in the stuff. The photo on the left’s unlikely to inspire a Paul Hollywood handshake, that’s for sure.

These two passengers would obviously have taken very different approaches in the case of an emergency. Having read up on the flight safety instructions, the person on the right would no doubt know exactly where the oxygen masks and life jackets are placed. The person sitting next to them, on the other hand, would probably just pray.

The high school prom’s supposed to be one of the glitziest nights of a teenager’s life. But not everyone subscribes to the dapper tuxedo, glamorous ballgown, and stretch limousine way of thinking. All this attention-grabbing girl needs is her favorite Muppets PJs and a soda!

Judging by their arms alone you’d never have guessed that the two individuals here are related. In fact, they’re twins! Apparently, the sibling on the left never leaves the house when the sun’s shining. The sibling on the right, in stark contrast, appears to spend their every waking moment tanning themselves.

The holiday season’s a time that allows us to embrace everything colorful, glitzy, and — let’s be honest — slightly tacky. It’s safe to say the girl in this picture’s loving the opportunity to wear a goofy jumper and decorate a Christmas tree. The Scrooge-like man sitting on the sofa, not so much.

Whether it’s mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, or good old tomato ketchup, a condiment can enhance a plate of fries like nothing else. But can there ever be too much of a good thing? While the diner at the top of this picture has gone for the slightly more sophisticated side splodge, the diner at the bottom’s made their junk food resemble a blood bath.

The array of zebras, koala bears, and rhinoceroses in the top picture look good enough to be hung up in a gallery. The Noah’s Ark recreation at the bottom, by contrast, is more suited to being hung up on a fridge. But, remarkably, both animal-based drawings were created in the same college art class!

You have to give some props to the hotel room that really does seem to think of everything when it comes to its guests. On the left, a particularly thoughtful maid has placed the toilet roll with the paper falling toward the wall. But they’ve also got you covered if you prefer to tear pieces off with the paper nearer to the toilet seat.

Mowing the lawn can undoubtedly be one of the most arduous gardening tasks you have to regularly carry out. That’s perhaps why the homeowner on the right simply hasn’t bothered. The neighbor on the left, in stark contrast, appears to have made it their mission to show such laziness up.

One of the most stressful things about going away on vacation, even if only for a weekend break, is what to pack. As shown by the bathroom supplies on the left, the temptation can be to take pretty much everything you own. The more relaxed of us, though, will be happy to just bring along the bare essentials.

Receiving an invitation to a costume party can often strike fear into people. Do you go all out and cover yourself in head to toe with outlandish make-up and clothing? Or do you try to wear something relatively normal that still sticks with the theme? It’s safe to say that the Smurf girl on the left went with the former approach.

Working in a shared office space will soon make you realize whether you’re a neat freak or something of a slob. The employee on the right has the kind of desk set-up that’d get Marie Kondo’s seal of approval. But the colleague opposite them appears to have the same cleanliness levels as Oscar the Grouch.

It’s always good to be prepared in the case of a global emergency. But not everybody’s priorities are the same. Take these two supermarket shoppers, for example. The man in front is making sure that he and his family have enough toilet roll and bottled water to last them for months, perhaps years. Yet the man behind’s more concerned with ensuring he has a steady supply of beer!

A cactus can make for an ideal, and simple, housewarming gift. You’re just never sure whether the recipient will be enough of a greenfingers to take care of it properly, though. The owner of the plant on the right’s obviously given it the perfect amount of light and water. But the poor cactus on the left seems to have been seriously deprived of both.

There are few things better than tucking into a tub of Ben & Jerry’s finest on a movie night. But people have different ways of reaching the bottom. Some will take gentle spoonfuls while watching the on-screen action unfold. Others will dig into the dessert in the manner of a bulldozer.

Arranging all the Lego pieces out of the box they come in can be almost as time-consuming as the actual construction. Well, if you’re a stickler for color-coordinating, that is. If you’re more of a messy builder, then you may be happy to simply tip the entire contents onto the table.

The man and young girl, presumably father and daughter, in this picture appear delighted to be in what looks like some form of Christmas grotto. The other youngster may be wearing a festive red coat. But perhaps bummed out by the lack of a Santa, it seems as if he’d rather be anywhere else.

There are those who look at the weather and choose their attire accordingly. And there are those who ignore what’s happening outside their window and dress entirely in the name of fashion. Despite sub-zero temperatures, the sockless person on the left here has obviously opted for the latter.

If any picture sums up how differently moms and dads can take to parenting, it’s this one. The youngster appears to be having the time of his life while holding his mother’s hand on a children’s slide. But the same tot looks downright terrified when he’s left to his own devices by his more carefree pop.

So how do you dispose of the foil that comes with each of Hershey’s Kisses’ chocolatey goodness? Do you screw every wrapper into its own individual little ball before scooping the lot into the trash? Or do you prefer the more fun way of building one giant silver sphere instead?

Well, they do say that opposites attract. The holidaymaker responsible for the suitcase below probably wouldn’t be too embarrassed if they were randomly stopped for an airport security bag check. Their traveling partner, on the other hand, would no doubt have to watch the entire contents of their luggage spill out on to the floor.

Can you judge a person over how they eat a choc ice? Going by the measured way they’ve eaten all the chocolate, you may well think that the individual on the left’s a careful and gentle soul. The manner that the dessert’s been gnawed at on the right could imply that their friend’s rather more impulsive and impatient.

The woman in the foreground of this picture seems delighted to be surrounded by butterflies. She even appears to have them emblazoned on her dress. It’s fair to say that the lady in the background, though, isn’t as enamored with the fluttering insects. Perhaps this is a different case of the butterfly effect?

As anyone who’s shared a home may already know, the way in which the toothpaste tube’s squeezed can cause arguments. If you want to get your money’s worth, then the best method’s obviously to squish from the bottom. But if you haven’t got the patience, squeezing from the top’s the more likely — and wasteful — approach.

It’s fair to say that the sisters in this picture don’t share the same personality traits. Or the same tastes in home decor. The garden at the top right’s awash with rainbow colors and unicorn items. It seems unlikely, though, that you’d find anything so razzmatazz in the rather unwelcoming house on the bottom right.

For some party animals it isn’t a proper night out until you’re in the kind of state that leaves you passed out on the bathroom floor. The sprawling legs in the cubicle at the back of the photo suggest the girl in question subscribed to that theory. But the far less disheveled selfie-taker in front of the mirror looks like she’s sensibly stuck to water.

Sure, there are people employed to return supermarket carts to their rightful places. It’s still a basic courtesy, though, to take yours back to the designated bays once you’ve unloaded your shopping. The customer responsible for the left cart certainly had the right idea. But the shopper who returned the one on the right appears to have gotten lazy at the last second.
