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.

I’m guessing Wales is being plagued by feral teenagers egging houses.
Sounds like something someone with a truck full of overnight baguettes would say.
would be interesting if there was also a trampoline on the ceiling
My guess is that it's an art installation. There's even one of those little sign on the wall with (I suppose) its name on it. (A few minutes and a reverse image search later : I can confirm, it's called "Demi mesure" (half measure), by canadian artist Patrick Bérubé : http://libertyroulette.blogspot.com/2010/12/russian-trampoline.html)
Thank you Saint Thomas, saved me having to look it up.

It's like the 7.5th floor in Being John Malkovich (1999). Trampoline is perfect for a "little" exercise 😵💫
That was my first thought! That movie gave me so much anxiety.

People small enough to safely jump may also be small enough to fall through the gaps between springs. Yikes!! Watch those tikes!!!
what if that's not a light, but an opening into a brightly lit room?
It's the top of one of those static skydiving tube thingies. It's possible to hit the ceiling hence the trampoline

In this image you're looking at the bottom on the trampoline and the image is flipped upside down. The guy is actually on his back. Another clue is the springs are showing as they're usually not showing.
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 grew up in 2-story house in the Philippines. Upstairs, there was a huge playroom, and 4 bedrooms. When I was around 11 years old, me and my babysitter were hanging out in the playroom. She went to the bathroom, and I got bored so I went downstairs to check out the fridge. I heard her come out of the bathroom, and she started screaming my name. After the 3rd time, she stopped. I thought she figured out that I was downstairs. After a few minutes, I saw her coming down the stairs. As she looked at me, she froze and just stared at me. I asked her what's wrong, and she said she just saw me in the playroom before she went downstairs. She was really freaked out about it, and I don't know--I used to not believe in these things so I just laughed at her. The second time it happened, I was probably 16. I was hanging out at my brother's room cause it's the room with the fastest internet. And then I heard my 6-year old brother (I have 2 brothers) calling me and looking around for me, I didn't a
Had a really bad day today. This gave me a big belly laugh that I truly needed.
I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm glad you found some laughter. Sometimes, a big chuckle can lift you out of the deepest hole.
