This Instagram Page Is Solely Dedicated To People Standing Weirdly In Public, And Here Are 40 Of The Best Pics
If you’ve seen Monty Python’s Flying Circus, you probably know where this is going.
If you’re not aware, then let me break it down to you: the surreal comedy troupe called Monty Python used to make absurd skits back in the late ‘60s through the early ‘80s with comebacks here and there.
One skit, in particular, is about the Ministry of Silly Walks, which is exactly what it sounds like. It talks about silly walks and how one person is attempting to acquire a grant to develop a silly walk.
Well, it seems that the legacy lives on in the form of silly standing. The link may or may not be relevant here, but the vibe is definitely the same. And there’s a whole Instagram account dedicated to this!
Bored Panda collected and featured the best of the best ways people stand in public as posted on the People Standing Instagram. So, check out the whole curated list below, and while you’re down there, leave a vote and a comment on the ones you liked the most!

One of the most internet-sy things to happen is this Instagram page that features people standing. But it’s not just any old boring bit of standing, but silly standing—standing in ways that are either humorous, or ridiculous, or just begging the question “why?”

Look everyone its the supposed healthiest man in America, looks like hes trying to fart that right wing d**k out of his a**

that posture is associated with a form of dementia. can't remember the name of it right now but many have commented on it. some also say it's because of the lifts in his shoes as they cause his heels to be to a point that they are going to slip out.

He probably was told about imposing body language by someone and thinks leaning forwards and puffing out his chest will intimidate or impress people he meets. Same with that jerk off handshake he uses.

He looks, and I really hate to insult them by comparison, but he looks like an ape.

doesn't matter how he stands - everything about him is weird and awful. Nobody wants to get too close

It's those lifts he insists upon wearing because he claims he's 6'3. Have you seen him standing next to Alex Rodriguez? What a putz.
Kika González 4 years ago
It looks like he took a sh$t the wrong way and had to hurry up to the photo shoot

He is known to wear a diaper and s**t himself regularly.

The guy really does have a weird posture, and once you've noticed it you go on noticing. It's as if his legs are attached to the wrong body.
Todd Manning 4 years ago
Tiny hands, tiny feet, tiny...well you know. He probably can't find it under his amentum.
Shelley DuVal 4 years ago
he has this tiny head on a huge body, he looks like two small kids hiding inside the suit.
Steve DiOrio 4 years ago
it's the lifts in his shoes. His weight is cantered forward by the 2 inches of Fake height.
Allan Lester 4 years ago
I believe the word is YUTZ, from the only group of people he has not denigrated.
Bonniebluebutler 4 years ago
It's because he's wearing shoe lifts to make him appear taller. Fake, just like the rest of his family.
Emma Goudie 4 years ago
He looks like he's been cut in half by a katana and the top half is just starting to slide off...
Meredith Adams 4 years ago
Someone told me that he always looks like the front half of a centaur while standing and I can’t unsee it!
Sandy Dyer 4 years ago
It's the loaded full diaper underneath that makes his trousers look, like that

I can't say I like him at all, but don't really see what's wrong here? What am I missing guys?
Mieke 4 years ago
Oh ok, sorry........ zoomed in. Oops. Looks like he's leaning in to hear something someone's saying. That explains a lot - he couldn't hear half the stuff people were saying about him, hence the repetitive stupidity.......

He's leaning so much that his arms hang out in front him rather than by his side.

The page introduces people to all sorts of stances: everything from random squatting to one-leg yoga suspended over a bench to leaning so much it puts Neo dodging bullets in slow motion to shame. If you have no idea what any of this means, keep scrolling.
People Standing has been around for years, and, throughout that time, has brought over 540 posts to its follower base of 137,000+.

You can check out more ridiculous stances (and even some ridiculous sitting positions—it’s honestly hard to decide where standing ends and sitting begins) on the official Instagram page, but before you go, why not let us know what you thought about this in the comment section below!

That stretches your left foot calf muscle if you've been standing on it too long.

Moments before he throws the phone, jumps over the desk and runs out screaming while ripping off his shirt.

As a massage therapist, I approve of many of these positions. Stretch where you can! Save your back! Esp the teacher ones, bending awkwardly repeatedly is the WORST
Eucritta 4 years ago
A lot of these do look like things people do when they've got positional fatigue.

I think that most of these pictures are taken of myself! Why I found them so comfortable! Who else sits by the table with one leg normal on the floor, and other one - knee next to your chin 😅

Standing with one leg up so your knee is at your chin is SO COMFORTABLE.

How weird do you sit or stand when you read BP? That would be interesting post
HooowlAtTheMoon 4 years ago
Well I'm sitting on my chair with my legs up on the desk and leaning back in the chair with the laptop on my stomach.... if someone got a picture of that it would certainly be something entertaining

It's interesting to see all of the male teachers and their weird stances. Although, honestly, bending down to desk level plays havoc with your back. Maybe female teachers choose dignity over comfort.
Maureen Matthew 4 years ago
I can bet about 95% of these people have hip, knee and back problems and their standing positions helps to relieve the pain/pressure.

A lot of these look really stupid but are actually quite comfy lol

I've done quite a few of these after sitting or standing for awhile. In fact I think rest stops and airports should have designated areas for this so we could all look goofy together.
Raizy Smith 4 years ago
I've done some of these, just as a sensory thing. Sometimes you gotta have funky knees, yaknow?

People are strange when you're a stranger... that some was written for these people!!
