Photo of unwanted background behind main subject. Title "Always check your background."

Meaning look around, behind your main subject before taking a picture to avoid distracting, undesirable objects/people in the background from ruining your photo.

Hope it was like 100 degrees + 100% humidity that day so that loser could add several ounces of loser sweat to that woolen loser suit.

Pretty easy to run the eraser tool in GIMP and take out the band. Needs a computer.
