Want to get the perfect candid photo? People claim this is a foolproof hack although it makes you look ridiculous
Social media users have shared a 'foolproof' hack for nailing the 'perfect candid picture' - but prepare to look absolutely ridiculous in public while doing it. In an attempts to capture the perfect seemingly un-posed, relaxed snap, many have started to gallop while giggling up and down the road. While the subjects of the image are prancing, someone else films them, with the theory being that freeze-framing any part of the footage will result in an aesthetically pleasing pose. Some social media users have noted that using this system means that the photos are not candid per se. However, others have simply admired how effective the method is, with some impressed by how well images can turn out when taken this way. One video clip shared by family TikTok channel @thefamileigh showed the father and his two sons laughing as they cantered casually down a path while being filmed. A crucial part of the system requires that the photo subjects enjoy themselves while posing. This often results in those in the photo throwing back their heads in joy, open-mouthed in laughter. Commenting on the @thefamileigh video, and resulting snaps, many were surprised by how well the technique worked. One said: 'It's funny cause I paused and played through the entire video and saw one great shot after another.' 'I actually saw all the candid pictures by pausing at random,' added another. A further viewer wrote: 'I paused a dozen random spots and all were perfect.....' 'I paused it several times and each time it was a great snapshot,' another noted. A further TikTok user said: 'I tried to pause the vid a few times and they actually turned out good hahaha. In a similar vein, another wrote: 'Wait they came out so good though.' 'These are freaking hysterical,' added another. 'I'm gonna see if my kids will do it. I's frame them in a sequence.' Many of the video's viewers were impressed by the system, and agreed that the snaps came out well Meanwhile, another TikTok creator known as @ posted her own video featuring the viral trick. As she linked her arms with a friend, the two women laughed as they cantered for while someone filmed them. Again, social media users were impressed with the results. One said: 'I love every video I see of this trend.' In a similar vein, another added an almost identical view. They wrote: 'Loving this trend.' A further TikTok user asked: 'How does it work every time?' 'Would have come out better with a professional camera but looks pretty good,' wrote another. As with other photos taken using this hack, the image was praised by many TikTok commentators And a further TikTok user wrote: 'Super cute and beautiful photo, made me smile.' The hack has become so popular, that even workers at a Waitrose supermarket used it to try and take their own image. A clip, posted on the upmarket supermarket's TikTok channel, featured two men. They laughed widely as they linked arms, and cantered through the aisles in one of the stores. Their video featured a caption, which was superimposed on top of the moving video.

‘I Legit Have Nightmares:' Customer Buys Chevy Suburban From Dealership. Then She Runs Into This Issue 3 Weeks Later
A mom shared scary footage of her Chevy Suburban's brakes allegedly failing while she was on the road, just three weeks after buying it. Tiffany Maillet (@upholsterygirl239) uploaded the viral clip on TikTok, where it accrued over 5.9 million views. In it, her evident panic was captured in the moment, along with how she worked with an officer to get her car to stop. The mother of five writes in a text overlay that's visible from the onset of her video, 'Just got a Chevy Suburban from the Chevy Dealership and experienced something out of my nightmares. I'm a mom of 5 kids and I HAVE to have my car. I just paid for summer camp for Monday. Today is my son's birthday. This is so awful.' Her TikTok shows dashcam footage recorded while she's on the road. Next, she suddenly makes an exclamation that would make any driver's heart sink and stomach churn: 'My, my, my car's not braking! My car's not braking!' The vehicle in front of her appears to come to a stop, its red brake lights engaged. Suburban Brake Failure On the TikToker's dashcam, she can be seen lurching ahead, nearing the stopped vehicle. On the opposite side of the road, a white SUV with flashing emergency lights is parked. The car on the road in front of her slowly moves up, creating enough room for her to veer into the far left lane. It's separated by a concrete curb divider, which the TikToker careens toward as she honks her horn several times. 'It's not braking!' she says with a cracked, fearful voice. Following this, she drives up on the curb, stopping right beside the white SUV, which has the word 'Sheriff' written on the side. Once she's adjacent to the police officer's vehicle, she shouts out to the officer. 'My car won't brake! I'm pushing so hard on the pedal!' she says. Quickly, the law enforcement official informs her to 'put on the emergency brake.' She hesitates and then quickly asks, 'Where's the emergency brake?' He repeats again, 'emergency brake.' She states, 'I'm pushing so hard on my brake!' and as she does so, a radio can be heard going off in the background of the clip. Emergency Brake Engaged Next, it seems she's managed to locate the emergency braking mechanism while the officer exits his vehicle to assist her. 'This thing?' she asks, sniffling. 'Yes, push that down,' he says. The mom then tearfully says to her husband on the phone, 'I'm next to the cop right now,' before explaining what happened to her vehicle. 'I was stopped back at that stop sign, and ... I was holding the brake down, and it kind of felt like it crunched for a second.' The officer replies, 'Yeah.' She continues, 'And it just started sliding and it wouldn't stop going, and I'm like holding it down as hard as I could.' Then, she addresses her husband on the phone, 'Can you call your mom because she's behind me and I want her to know. All right, bye.' At the end of her video, she tells the officer that she just recently purchased the car 'three weeks ago.' What Should You Do If Your Brakes Fail? Ideally, no driver would ever have to deal with brake failure. However, there are methods folks can adhere to in order to safely bring their car to a stop in the event their brakes give out. First, commuters should attempt to pump their brakes in case they've locked up. In some cases, repeatedly engaging the brakes can 'unlock' them, bringing vehicles to a stop. If that doesn't work, defensive driving school iDriveSafely recommends immediately putting on one's hazard lights. This will alert others on the road to steer clear of your car. Following this, place your vehicle into a lower gear. Doing so will 'slow down your car.' Conversely, the outlet cautions against immediately placing the car in neutral. That's because it 'will take away the engine braking effect.' Consequently, one's car won't start to decelerate. Furthermore, instantly shutting off one's car will also disable power steering, making it harder to control. Once your car is slowing down, slowly guide it to an area away from regular traffic flow. This can be a shoulder, outlet, or slightly raised curve, or even on the outskirts of the left or right-most lane. Next, iDriveSafely recommends engaging the emergency brake. Often, this brake's engagement system is in the form of a lever located near the car's center console. Many vehicles place it in the form of a small pedal left of the standard brake, so be cognizant of where it is and how to activate your e-brake. Chevy Dealership Admits Fault Following her harrowing road incident, Maillet posted other videos pertaining to her experience. In this particular TikTok commenting on the situation, she shared the outcome of her correspondence with the dealership. According to her, the reason she wasn't able to stop was due to aftermarket brakes. Additionally, she says a service tech informed the sales team that the brakes would need to be swapped out prior to the sale for safety reasons. However, she says the sales manager didn't want to eat the cost of a brake swap. Ultimately, Maillet added that upon escalating the issue, the dealership admitted fault. At the end of her clip, Maillet speculated just how much more dangerous a situation she could've found herself in. 'I MEAN I COULD HAVE BEEN GOING 80 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY FAMILY WAS AT RISK. complete negligence,' she writes in a text overlay. More on Dealerships 'This Is Why No One Wants to Work at Dealerships:' Mechanic Works on Audi With Nail in Tire. Then He Turns on the Computer Dealership Worker Is Oh-So-Close To Closing Car Sale. Then a Receptionist Ruins It In 1 Minute What Maillet found even more troubling was the fact that her five children were with her when she bought the car, meaning the sales team had no qualms with putting all of them in a vehicle that had potentially faulty brakes. 'I legit went to the dealership with my 5 kids and he still thought it was a good idea to stick me in the Suburban absolute shame on @chevrolet,' she writes in the caption. When Dealerships Give You a Dud Unfortunately, used car sales isn't exactly known to be the most scrupulous of vocations. But just because a car is previously owned doesn't mean buyers aren't legally protected by what Lemon Car Law refers to as 'implied warranties.' This effectively means 'the dealer guarantees the vehicle will function as it is supposed to,' the outlet states. However, there is some nomenclature to consider. If you purchase a vehicle 'as is' from a dealer, then you are assuming all liability for any repairs to the vehicle. This doesn't seem to be the case with Maillet's purchase, as she explained the Chevy dealership took responsibility for not swapping the brakes. But not everyone is so fortunate as to have purchased a car from a dealership that's willing to own up to its mistakes. And if you didn't enter an 'as-is' agreement and the dealership lies about any damage incurred to the vehicle, you could have a claim against it. Furthermore, as Lemon Car Law states, if integral components are compromised, then drivers could take legal action. There are several steps involved in this process. First, Lemon Car Law recommends contacting your state's consumer protection office. This will allow you to start a record of lodging a formal complaint against the dealership that sold you the vehicle. Moreover, lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) may also help garner more attention to your claim. While possessing no legal authority, many companies take BBB ratings seriously. So, bad marks against the company could incentivize it to take action. Additionally, should your vehicle still fall under the manufacturer's base warranty, Lemon Car Law also suggests filing with the National Center for Dispute Settlement. Commenters React Maillet also narrated in the video, 'Just talked to the general manager of Chevy, and they told me they never should have sold me that car, and that they were in the wrong, and they're sorry.' Several folks who replied to her video concurred with the general manager's statement that the dealership was in the wrong. One user penned, 'You have a lawsuit!' urging Maillet to take legal action against the business. Another echoed this sentiment, stating their admittance of fault may ultimately assist with her claim: 'Call a lawyer - IMMEDIATELY! They just admitted fault and incompetence. Go get your coin.' 'Huge huge lawsuit. You cannot release a car with compromised brakes,' someone else wrote. Others on TikTok shared experiences working in auto sales that were similar to Maillet's close call. 'I hated doing used cars because of stuff like this. Sales only want to do enough to get it to roll off the lot. Who cares about customer safety right?' According to this user, refusal to perform component swaps is a common occurrence. 'Happens all the time. And the service department always gets the blame.' However, there was someone else who appeared confused about the hate directed toward third-party vehicle options. 'What's wrong with aftermarket Brakes? There are millions of cars/trucks on the road with non oem brakes on them and have no issues.' Motor1 has reached out to Maillet via TikTok comment for further information. The story will be updated should she respond. Now Trending 'I've Got a Scat, I Love It:' Dealership Customer Asks About a 'Shelby' They Spotted on the Lot.

Air India baggage handling company apologises after video shows staff partying days after crash
A viral video showing senior officials from Air India 's partner company dancing at a staff party has caused widespread anger, with the celebrations taking place just days after the deadly crash of Air India flight AI171 in Ahmedabad on 12 June. Air India SATS has released a statement regarding the viral video showing a senior executive partying with other members of staff less than 10 days after the fatal plane crash, saying the footage was 'completely out of context'. Air India SATS (AISATS) is a 50-50 joint venture between Air India Limited, a Tata Group company, and SATS Ltd, a Singapore-based firm formerly known as Singapore Airport Terminal Services. The partnership specialises in providing airport services, including baggage handling, across Indian airports. The footage shows Abraham Zachariah, chief operating officer of Air India SATS (AISATS), dancing with other staff members as loud music plays during a party held at the company's Gurugram office on 20 June. In a statement, the company said: 'AISATS is aware of a video being circulated on social media that unfortunately is completely out of context. 'Notwithstanding, we sincerely regret any emotional discomfort this may have caused,' the statement said, IANS reported. The viral video triggered outrage on social media, as the celebration occurred while many families were still waiting to receive the bodies of crash victims. The footage drew strong criticism from users on X. One user wrote: 'Problem with Indian corporates is that they don't have heart, only thing matter is money. If someone dies let's give some money to victim's family, no accountability, no investigation & no arrest. They just create a public image through charity, so no question asked.' Another user replied: 'Would've been more advisable for you to defer and not host parties at such times @airindia.' Another user called it 'pathetic and highly insensitive', and another said: 'You should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope you clowns are grounded.' The devastating Air India crash occurred at around 2pm local time on 12 June, when a London-bound Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner plunged into accommodation for medical students at Ahmedabad's BJ Medical College just moments after take-off. It was the first crash of its kind involving a Boeing 787 anywhere in the world.

Mom bikes with her kids—but what her son does mid-ride leaves her speechless
If you've ever attempted to create a wholesome family moment only to have it derail in the most unexpected way possible, you'll relate to this viral Instagram reel that's currently making parents everywhere snort-laugh into their coffee. @hayleydubb set out for what appeared to be an idyllic electric bike ride with her twin toddlers secured safely in their seats behind her. The video, which has over 10 million views, starts innocently enough—mom cruising along, two little ones enjoying the ride, the text overlay reading, 'What started as a wholesome family bike ride.' It's the kind of content that makes you think, 'Wow, she's really got this parenting thing figured out.' But then the video cuts to 'turned into this,' and suddenly we're witnessing what might be the most creative wedgie delivery method in parenting history. One of her tots has somehow managed to fish mom's underwear right up and over her bike shorts, and—wait for it—is now holding said underwear in his mouth like it's a victory flag. The caption perfectly sums up the parenting experience: 'The core memory I didn't know I needed ' There's something almost supernatural about children's ability to turn your most Instagram-worthy moments into comedy gold. You can plan the perfect outing, dress everyone in coordinating outfits, and have your phone ready for that picture-perfect memory—and somehow, someway, chaos will find you. As commenter @jamofficial_ put it: 'I'm actually cryinggg cause why ARE CHILDREN LIKE THISSS if there was no footage we wouldn't believe it ' And they're not wrong. Without video evidence, this story would sound made up. But that's the thing about parenting—the most unbelievable moments are usually the most true. Related: Four grandparents, one roof—why this mom is all in on multi-generational living The comments section has become a celebration of both this mom's resilience and her apparently superior undergarment choices. (And also a lot of encouragement to wear a helmet–which we totally agree with, but that's not what we're gathered here to discuss today.) User @ladyashley3 wanted to know the real important details: 'That thong stronger than Gods soldiers! maam what brand is that PLEASE ' Because honestly, if your underwear can survive being yanked over bike shorts by a determined toddler and still maintain structural integrity, that's the kind of product endorsement money can't buy. Meanwhile, @abigailmary1992 offered some real talk: 'I'm impressed any mom of two littles is wearing anything other than granny panties.' A fair point—most of us are just trying to find clean underwear at all, let alone ones that photograph well during impromptu wedgie situations and leave no VPL. Every parent has been there—that moment when your child decides to provide entertainment you definitely didn't sign up for. Sometimes it's a meltdown in Target. Sometimes it's an inappropriate question asked at full volume in the grocery store. And sometimes, apparently, it's your toddler giving you a wedgie while you're trying to enjoy a peaceful bike ride. User @ had the perfect perspective: 'Looks like a picture for his high school yearbook ' Because you know that kid's going to hear about this moment for the rest of his life. The beauty of moments like these is that they remind us parenting rarely goes according to plan—and that's okay. Actually, it's more than okay. These are the stories we'll be laughing about for years to come. Related: This viral post says it's okay for moms to sit at the playground — here's why it struck a nerve One commenter, @ shared their own relatable struggle: 'I had a mole on my back and my little one pulled it every time we sat in the bike. Had to have it removed to escape the nightmare.' Because if there's one thing kids excel at, it's finding that one thing that bothers you most and zeroing in on it with laser precision. But here's what this viral moment really captures: the ability to laugh at the beautiful mess that is parenting. This mom could have been mortified. She could have stopped recording, gotten flustered, or let the moment ruin her day. Instead, she chose to see the humor in it and share that joy with the rest of us. And honestly? That might be the most wholesome part of this whole story. As @angelatolonen joked, 'Someone just got demoted to the back row'—but let's be real, this is probably going to be one of those family stories that gets told at every birthday party and holiday gathering for the next twenty years. Because while we start out trying to create picture-perfect moments, the imperfect ones are usually the ones that stick. The planned photo shoots are nice, but the candid chaos? That's where the real magic happens. So here's to all the parents out there whose wholesome family moments have taken unexpected detours. Your underwear might not always stay where it belongs, your kids might not always cooperate with your vision, but you're creating memories that are infinitely more valuable than any staged photo could ever be. Even if those memories occasionally involve someone's underwear ending up in someone else's mouth. (Er, um. Yeah.)
