Ambiguity is inevitable. So when people run into it in everyday life, they often rely on their own assumptions, prior experience, or personal biases to fill in the gaps.

Found an anonymous "Thank You" note on the fridge? It's probably your partner expressing gratitude for the lunch you prepped them and not the ghost living under the bed. Noticed an abandoned umbrella in the park? Probably some absent-minded romantic left it there, and not Mary Poppins.

But too few cues can lead to confusion, a notion that the Facebook group 'Please, may I have a Crumb of Context?' successfully illustrates again and again, as its members share random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers.

    They tried to buy eggs and flour under the age of 18, and now the police are quacking down on antisocial behaviour.

    I’m guessing Wales is being plagued by feral teenagers egging houses.

    This is actually why the children are not allowed to buy eggs.

    Misconstrued reference to an 80's anti-drug ad, in an attempt to be sarcastic.

    I always thought Cricket rules to be pretty obscure, but this is even more complex than I imagined.

    Even without the weird dot to dot thing that image is strange. is that the wicket keeper or the batter who is catching the ball? why is the cricket bat just sitting there? who hit the ball? Why is the dark haired woman just standing there looking at the ball?

    Setting aside whatever that thing is...I can't even think of what would make sense to fill in that empty space. Or maybe my issue is that I don't know anything about cricket.

    Reminds me a bit of the TV ads for the Australian Big Bash League (T20 cricket), because they try sell it as this pumped up form of cricket they have all these shots of big hits with CG lightning bolts added. Except it doesn't really look like a lightning bolt and that appears from their gloves to be a wicket keeper... with a bat next to them... standing nowhere near a wicket? I have no idea what they're going for, honestly.

    That image is actually the result of a factory error that misprinted the dots.

    If you clear downed trees and brush the cricket people will come. The UK reboot of Field of Dreams, perhaps?

    Per Ozzy Osbourne, I thought it was "You gotta hear this f****** guy!" He was referring to a 9 y.o. Japanese kid play the guitar on Crazy Train.

    I know how this driver feels, not only is there the loud noise, but some of us are sensitive to the pressure change. This has total context to myself.
