Google Maps user spots bloke’s offensive gesture at Street View camera

A Google Maps user has spotted an American bloke’s crude gesture that he made as a Street View camera drove past his house.

The image has been posted on Reddit, with the user – u/107090 – giving it the ironic headline of “A scholarly gentleman in Michigan, USA”.

The screen grab shows the man, who is wearing a grey T-shirt, shorts and a cap and is standing next to his pick-up truck, flipping the bird to the camera as it drives past.

In response, user PoniesPlayingPoker says: “That is the most Michigan picture I've ever seen.”

It’s just the latest strange discovery by sleuths, who have had great fun trying to spot the weird and wonderful sights that have been picked up – either deliberately or inadvertently – by Google’s cameras.

One Google Maps user was left baffled recently after he came across an enormous rubber duck floating in the middle of a lagoon.

The oddity was spotted on the shore of the artificial Lake of the Family Park in the middle of Santiago, the capital of Chile.

Another Reddit user found an even more bizarre image of a man apparently dressed as a knight as he walked his two dogs.

Clad head to toe in medieval attire, it looked as though he'd stepped away from the Round Table to allow his pets to do their business in Cleveland, Ohio.

The long-haired man had a rope tied around his waist and a yellow cross on the right side of his chest, while his arms looked as though they were covered in chainmail.

Meanwhile, another Google Maps user – and Doctor Who fan – thought he had uncovered a Tardis on a busy London street.

The Whovian posted a screenshot of the famous blue police box from Earls Court Road on Reddit, writing: "Random TARDIS in the middle of London (Why does this look so similar to the TARDIS easter egg)."

But the answer is because it WAS a Google Easter egg. In 2013, it was discovered that Google Maps users could click on an arrow to enter the blue box and take a look around the control room – and that feature still works today.

Doctor Who fans can explore a full 360-degree view of the replica of the set created for Matt Smith in his role as the 11th incarnation of the Doctor.
