Bad Luck Brian

Kyle Craven's seventh-grade school photo: braces, plaid sweater vest and a grin so awkward that his principal reportedly made him retake it, thinking he was pulling a face on purpose. A childhood friend, Ian Davies, posted it to Reddit's advice-animal board in January 2012, and captions about catastrophic misfortune followed. Craven, who is not called Brian, took it in good humor and outed himself as the kid in the picture later that year.
