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.

    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.

    so, using the banama™ for scale, that is not a particularly large spoon but a rather tiny person

    But that bowl of cereal is obviously thimble size so tiny human is not wrong. Are we going on a trip through the amazing body next?

    well given the banana for scale, I would say that the size of the spoon seems reasonable, and that it is the man that is too small.

    The image is AI generated indeed. Only the texts and the banana-man's face were added after.

    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.
