People Are Sharing Hilariously Bad Stock Photos Of Their Jobs, And You’ll Laugh Out Loud When You Find Yours
There's something about stock photos that make them instantly recognizable as a genre, a weird, posey cheesiness often unified by hilariously bad photo editing. When you see a stock photo, you just know that it's a stock photo.
Trying to represent so many different topics, ideas, concepts, and scenarios into single photographs make the job difficult for photographers and actors, and how they fail is a source of absolute comedy gold. The hashtag #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob, originally started by scientists, has been going around and it is a perfect collection of the times when stock photographers clearly had no idea what they were doing with their weird photos. The fails, along with the funny photoshop, inherent cheesiness of the weird stock photos and the indignation of those whose jobs are woefully misrepresented, combine for a perfect storm of funny photos!

There's a story to this photo. This woman has clearly found a lipstick mark on her husbands white shirt collar. She is investigating the colour of the lipstick (in agreement by the man there, that's def plum cherry) before she goes off to investigate the companies using such colour, to find the store it was bought in, to find the women that shop there and BAM! She'd caught the woman her husband is cheating on her with. She's not really a scientist/researcher of any kind, she's just an accountant at Costa Coffee.
