We’ve all been taught to be happy with what we’re given. Some people have more than you do and some people have less. However, sometimes it’s impossible to hold back your jealousy. The green-eyed monster can’t always be contained, and here’s the photographic evidence to prove it.
“Where’s My Oscar?”
Poor Leo. Do you realize how many movies and years passed without him ever receiving an Oscar? This is the moment his nomination for Best Actor in The Wolf of Wall Street was trumped by Matthew McConaughey’s. He had been nominated five times before eventually winning it in 2016 for his performance in The Revenant.
“Where’s My Oscar?”
“What About Me?”
Kids can’t control it. They always want the attention of their parents, their teachers, and sometimes even of complete strangers. There’s no harm in displaying affection for your children in public… unless you’re neglecting one of them. Here’s the proof, in case you weren’t sure about that.
“What About Me?”
We All Have Choices
We’re all given 24 hours in a day, what we do with that time is mostly up to us. Whether we spend the majority of the day in front of the television, scrolling through Facebook, or working out is completely up to us. This girl is doing a great job by travelling on her bicycle, but she does seem to be quite envious of the girl running in front of her.
We All Have Choices
New Toys
You know what they say about new toys and old dogs, don’t you? Nothing, actually. But we do know that a little girl with a brand new kitten is more than enough to cause short-term memory loss. That poor fella, just look at the intimidation and neglect in his eyes. We just hope his jealousy didn’t turn him into a hungry green-eyed monster.
New Toys
Feeling Regretful
When mom and dad offered the kids the ice-cream of their choice, Little Trugger didn’t want to wait a second. He pulled that colorful ice pop straight out of the freezer and went to work. It was a whole 35 seconds later that Little Ella got her soft serve ice-cream, and 36 seconds later that Trugger had instant regret.
Feeling Regretful
“It’s My Snack!”
There’s a lot to be jealous of here. On the one hand there’s that delicious-looking cake, and on the other hand there’s Jamie Foxx. This photo was taken at his 40th birthday party (guys, he’s 51 years old right now!) and you can only guess why that cake was deemed so extraordinary!
“It’s My Snack!
Caught On Camera
You know how the saying goes, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em!” Although we do have to say that there’s nothing dignified about what they’re doing for this photo. So perhaps it’s fair to imagine that the girl in the background isn’t envious, but rather appalled. Maybe.
Caught On Camera
“I Want A Burger Too!”
Mom and dad had a deal with their kids. Only when they turned 9 were they allowed to have their first hamburger, and just look at what a glorious day it was for Sophia. For her brother, Logan, it could have been considered the worst day of the year!
“I Want A Burger Too!”
The Chosen
Have you ever watched the reality TV show The Bachelor? Other than having too much drama squeezed into 45 minutes for my liking, the show presents a whole lot of different human emotions. Here you can see a few of the female contestants displaying their emotion called ‘jealousy’.
The Chosen
Overprotective Much?
Nobody wants their stuff to get stolen, and we get especially protective when it comes to things close to our hearts. But being overprotective to the point of waving what you have in other people’s faces is hardly the way to behave. This girl’s Instagram post doesn’t really display her best side, more like her jealous side.
Overprotective Much?
The Dangerous Trio
Ever since that awkward moment when Kanye West stormed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, there’s been tension between these two. That tension has extended to Kim Kardashian, West’s wife. Kim blatantly denies being jealous of Swift in any way, but this seems to tell us otherwise.
The Dangerous Trio
Jealousy Gets You Nowhere
Don’t you think Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez are super talented? They have a lot going for them, but they were obviously a little envious of Ashley Benson during an interview in 2013. I guess it’s just like they say – the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
Jealousy Gets You Nowhere
Not So Spicy
Guys think that they can successfully spy out other chicks without their partners paying attention. Wrong. Way wrong. Women know that you’re not checking out those noodles in aisle 6 for the 5th time. I guess nature gets the best of us, even David Beckham.
Not So Spicy
Can’t Contain Himself
If this were as video, we’d probably see that little guy who’s waiting outside, start licking that window. It’s really not cool that his sisters got their ice-cream and he was punished for screaming in the car. Just for the sake of the little boy, we hope he got a cone himself after the photo was snapped.
Can’t Contain Himself
Almost There
When discussing bodybuilding on a professional scale, most people admit that Arnold Schwarzenegger comes to mind. So many kids wish to grow up like him, but that would include hours on end at the gym and a daily intake of more than 5,000 calories! This little guy obviously really wants to be like Arnie, but who’s going to tell him that he’s a little way off?
Almost There
Clearly Different
Does anyone remember the English pop group Girls Aloud? Perhaps it was Cheryl Cole who made the most out of the fame they created together. Here you can see band member Sarah Harding having a little moment of self-reflection. It does look like she feels inadequate for whatever reason.
Clearly Different
Third Wheel
Let’s face it, nobody wants to be the third wheel in any relationship. Unfortunately for “Mister Guy on the Left” here, that’s exactly the case. He doesn’t just look like the third wheel, he looks really, and I mean REALLY envious of the pair beside him. Who took this picture?
Third Wheel
Just Rumors
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were married from 2015 until 2017. Leading up to their separation, lots of rumors flew around regarding Theroux’s disinterest in the Friends star. While the two made it seem like nothing of the sort was going on, this picture seems to show a little more than they chose to share.
Just Rumors
The Most Famous Jealousy Picture
The setting was a welcome party for the celebrated Italian actress Sophia Loren. The last guest to arrive was the flirtatious and suggestively-dressed American actress Jayne Mansfield. Prone to wearing revealing clothing, Loren was quite upset by the stunt Mansfield pulled to draw all the attention to herself. Loren commented on that fateful evening, “In my face you can see the fear. I’m so frightened that everything in her dress is going to blow—BOOM!—and spill all over the table.”
The Most Famous Jealousy Picture
The Perfect Reenactment
How well did the stars of Modern Family pull off the famous Sophia Loren/Jayne Mansfield photo? Their version has obviously been done for comic effect, and we give both Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara full credit for getting this so right. At least in this case the woman in the white dress isn’t too exposed.
The Perfect Reenactment
Sad Seal
Here’s one animal at Sea World that managed to “seal” the deal. His pal on the other hand seems to be watching with envy as nobody chose to get photographed with him. It’s just not fair, but what can you do? Some seals are more charismatic than others, I guess.
Sad Seal
“Are You For Real?!”
I don’t care what you say, dogs most certainly do get jealous! Someone thought it was a good idea to get a stuffed version of his own dog. Then he took this picture. If you take a search on YouTube, you can actually find the full video – trust me, it’s worth finding!
“Are You For Real?!”
Size Doesn’t Matter
Man, I know what you’ve been told growing up, but it’s not always true. When it comes to fishing, size definitely does matter! Let’s see. The fish on the left can feed a family of six and still have leftovers for lunch the following day. The fish on the right doesn’t even provide a full meal for the fish on the left.
Size Doesn’t Matter
Moving To Plan B
You know how cats can be. They’re not just jealous; they’re crafty and sly too. When this cat saw her owner getting all mushy with the new addition to the family, it was time to start plotting. Plan A obviously didn’t work because the little critter was already in the house, so plan B it was.
Moving To Plan B
Don’t Peek
This couple looks like they’re having fun, even if she doesn’t want her man to be checking out the girl in the short dress. Who knows, maybe he even asked her to cover his eyes. Maybe. Their smiles do suggest that she’s not actually feeling any jealousy, they just wanted to have a good laugh.
Don’t Peek
That Moment
With a new baby in the family comes a new youngest child. That means that the youngest child, especially when he has an older sibling, becomes the dreaded middle child. What you’re looking at is the moment when the new middle child realizes exactly what he has become.
That Moment
No Love
At least we can see that ex-Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello has no problem holding back the way she feels. Here she is rolling her eyes while her ex-bandmate Lauren Jauregui is happily sharing the love. The band was supposed to stand for girl power and solidarity, but things seemed to stray far from those visions.
No Love
If Only
There’s nothing wrong with wishful thinking… unless it means that you’re turning into an envious monster. At this convention, one guy happily chats with a girl who obviously finds him quite interesting. Can you spot the guy who wishes he was in the first guy’s spot? Yep, there he is… watching.
If Only
Once A Year
You would think that most people would know this. Every person in the entire world has a birthday… once a year. Just like everybody else, you have to wait a year at a time to get yours. The girl sitting at the table behind the birthday boy seems to have forgotten when her birthday was.
Once A Year
What Could Have Been
I think we can all admit that beauty pageants are downright ruthless. From looks and charisma to answering questions about issues even the president of the United States doesn’t need to know the answers to. So when someone eventually walks away with the title, it’s perfectly understandable that there will be jealous onlookers.
What Could Have Been
It’s Probably The Pants
If I was wearing a pair of jeans on the bus, maybe I would also have a look of jealousy on my face. I mean, wow, look how comfy those yoga pants look! At least that’s what I think the woman sitting down is jealous about. Maybe it’s the jacket and I’m completely off here.
It’s Probably The Pants
Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend
Diamonds truly are a girl’s best friend. Unfortunately not all girls have this particular best friend – see the back of the photo for reference. Actor Jason Sudeikis got engaged to Olivia Wilde in 2013. She was more than thrilled to show off the rock he proposed with, as you can see. Actors Tom Hanks and Christopher McDonald seem pretty impressed themselves.
Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend
Too Beautiful
American model Amber Rose turns heads wherever she goes. It doesn’t matter who’s around, you can bet that people will be swinging round to see her. While we do believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way, there are some people who are just out of this world.
Too Beautiful
Second Best
This little guy laying on the hospital bed is far from impressed. Having a little baby sibling is supposed to be exciting, but not when you realize that your parents are going to have to share their love with someone else. I wonder what he was thinking to himself at this exact moment.
Second Best
It’s His Girl
Do you know where the term “puppy eyes” comes from? Me neither. But it was definitely not the look this little furry fella was giving the guy who had asked Stephanie out! “Hands off my hooman!” I guess we know the alternative to becoming the third wheel.
It’s His Girl
Should Have Gotten A Puppy
It was exactly at that moment that Brad realized his motorcycle was less impressive than a cute little puppy. Everybody knows that a puppy is the best ice-breaker and the best pick-up line. “Do you mind if I start patting?” “Sure! Oh, you must mean the puppy…”
Should Have Gotten A Puppy
It’s Not Fair
When you have a baby, you lose time to do most of the things you used to do beforehand. Romance is oftentimes the first to take the plunge, closely followed by eating well and working out. For this couple, it seems they’re a little too romantic. Their baby’s face goes to show that!
It’s Not Fair
You Said You’d Wait
Ah, prom night. An event that could scar you for the rest of your life. While for some it’s glamorous and fun, for others it’s a terrible excuse to splurge on a dress you’re never going to ever wear again. The girls promised each-other to take all their photos together before the event. Guess who was forgotten.
You Said You’d Wait
You Ruined My Life
“Alright, folks. Everybody smile for the camera when I say so…” And then just like that, the ball dropped and little Kim realized how her world was about to change. Nobody wants to be the middle child, and this is the face of a child realizing just that.
You Ruined My Life
That Could Have Been Us
I’m not the biggest fan of a wedding proposal at a big game, but I get the hype around it. Do you know who is a fan, though? That woman sitting in the bottom left-hand corner of the picture. It had always been her dream, but her boyfriend had never thought of it. This was the moment that he found that out.
