40 Funny Standing Moments Spotted in Public

Is This a Stretch or a Squat Break?

Balancing between a deep squat and perfect focus, this individual has clearly mastered the art of combining fitness with screen time. While others may opt for benches or curbs, this person took to the sidewalk with athletic commitment, holding a pose that even yoga instructors might admire. Clad in sporty attire and a bold yellow backpack, he looks fully invested in his phone—perhaps watching a tutorial on “how to stand in public like no one’s watching.”

What makes the scene even more amusing is the sheer nonchalance with which he’s positioned himself in a high-traffic urban environment. It’s not often that you witness someone holding a deep squat as if it were the most natural stance for browsing texts or checking directions. Maybe this is a new form of city survival training—ready for action while checking emails. Whatever the intent, it’s a moment of public stillness that stands out—literally and figuratively.
