Facebook post pokes fun at hunched over sour-faced store model

When it comes to their personality traits, teenagers and mannequins are normally polar opposites.

One is quiet, composed and always professional, while the other is renowned for being rebellious, sullen, and permanently attached to their mobile phone.

But combining the two can bring about hilarious results, as was proven on Facebook this week.

Tony Hope, from Dublin, Ireland, posted a picture of what he dubbed a 'teenage mannequin' on his Facebook last Friday.

The photo showed a department store mannequin hunched over with a rather dejected look on its face.

Mr Hope had some fun in captioning the image, saying: 'Oh look, they've started to make teenager mannequins.'

The tongue-in-cheek post clearly struck a chord among social media users, with the photo being shared almost 35,000 times and receiving nearly 25,000 likes.

That's not the only example of mannequin's exhibiting what can only be described as not model behaviour.

Shoppers have snapped a number of hilarious pictures of mannequins behaving badly over the years, with more than a few possibly set up by customers themselves.

Some bored male shoppers have also attempted to join in on the act, putting on their best mannequin-esque expressions.

However they should probably hold onto their day jobs for now.
