  1. Clicked the link
  2. Didn't immediately notice anything wrong.
  3. Looked at the URL and saw that it was a GIF.
  4. GTFO.

I turned off my volume as soon as I suspected a Gif.

I almost had a heart attack when I read that stupid korean comic.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Edit: Typo

OH MY GOD IT'S ANIMATED! I'ver never closed a tab that fast. Gosh... I'm definitely not going to open that again.

edit: Okay, I did... And regret it. Am I stupid and didn't really turn the sound off, or does this site turn it on again? This time I won't try it again.

You turned off your volume before viewing a gif? This sure seems to be a very effective countermeasure.

He expected a .gif that did a scream or something a long those lines.

Piggybacking on your comment for maximum viewage:

You're doing it wrong... reupload to imgur, right click, copy image url, paste somewhere, change .gif to .jpg

Example: http://i.imgur.com/8XFGY.jpg

Up-vote for actually making me jump a little bit.

[–]Number4429 36 points37 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So, after noticing it was a gif, I thought something would jump out at me. So I looked to the TV, keeping the gif in the corner of my eye. After noticing that nothing was changing, I looked back to the gif the same time it looked at me. We both looked away and agreed to part ways.

Success story: Didn't notice it was a .gif. Saw nothing wrong, decided to check comments before continuing on. WINNER.

[–]EarthwormJane 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Didn't realise it was a .gif, came straight to comments once I decided that it was still for too long with nothing wrong. SAFE.

It amazes me that people still can't recognise gifs these days.

She looked at me before I noticed it was a .gif. I immediately minimized the window and read the comments out of fear.

I had an odd dream today with her in it.. I don't remember details, but I was staying at her house for some reason.

when i saw the .gif in the url i braced for impact...

[–]anyalicious 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I opened it and was looking all over, then I noticed that it was kind of grainy so looked up and saw it was a gif. I panicked a little and just as I was about to close the tab, she looked at me, as if she knew. Scared a little 'ooohh' out of me.

[–]karltee 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

[–]ajarofgelly 1 point2 points ago

Immediately turned on my night light after shiting my pants; didn't notice it was a .gif in the url.

Yes, I jumped. Then laughed out loud.

Someday, Tilda Swinton will be my bitchin' androgynous lover.
