(500) Days of Summer is a film many people love for its quirkiness, writing, and music, among other things. It also introduced the side-by-side contrast of Expectation vs. Reality.
Since then, it's become a popular meme concept that people have played around with and, as always, delivered hilarious results. There's also a dedicated subreddit where people share images of their own Expectation vs. Reality moments.
We picked out some of those posts and compiled them into this list. As always, don’t forget to upvote the ones you relate to most.
