30+ Photos That Prove Walmart Is One Wacky Place
Most Americans visit Walmart at least once every two weeks. So why not? Almost anything may be purchased there, often at a reasonable price. The only real cost is one’s eyesight or sanity as one comes across an unpredictable zoo of crazy fashion statements, crazy behavior, and outright crazy people. Walmart is a perilous jungle where every trip is nearly likely to yield at least one remarkable encounter or event, as evidenced by the photographs below.
On The Way To Guinness
This entire scene is disturbing, but we get the impression that this woman is attempting to set some record. We can’t think why she’d be doing this on herself if that weren’t the case. After all, there don’t appear to be any benefits to having such long nails. Even mundane chores appear to be extremely difficult with this kind of impediment in your way. But she knows better than anyone why she has such nails and what she hopes to accomplish with them.
Take What You Can Get
We think he was dragged to Walmart by his companions, although he hasn’t slept in 24 hours. That said, we can’t blame him for taking advantage of any opportunity to rest, even if the blankets and pillows are made of meat.
Take What You Can Get
But perhaps he should have considered the furniture area of the store for his power nap: we get the impression that his bed of choice is extremely frigid and that hoodie isn’t doing much to keep him warm.
Even Worse Than a Mullet
Bad haircuts are common at Walmart, but this one stands out because it appears to be a half-hearted attempt to pull off a mullet. Or, at the very least, it is our best interpretation of whatever this is.
Even Worse Than A Mullet
If this man seeks to relive his youth, he should realize that he no longer has enough hair to make it happen. But, hey, we’re not going to kill his hair dreams.
Public Piracy and Exhibition
Even though nearly every Walmart provides a changing room, many people feel the need to try on clothes or costumes in the middle of the store, in front of everyone. Why did this couple feel compelled to dress up for Halloween?
Public Piracy And Exhibition
Nobody knows. What we do know is that we’re hesitant to try on Walmart clothes or costumes ourselves, knowing that strangers can put them on whenever they want, right in the aisles.
Welcome to the Jungle
It’s not uncommon to see animals in Walmart. People bring their dogs, of course, but turtles, snakes, birds, and now ferrets have all been observed. It’s unclear why this man has a ferret, though it could be used as an emotional support animal.
Welcome To The Jungle
However, there is some concern about having a rat in a site where people buy food, but apparently, no Walmart employee thought this was a problem.
All Dogs go to Walmart
Speaking of animals, we mentioned that dogs are rather popular in Walmart, but three seems a touch excessive. Maybe this mom doesn’t want any of her fur babies to feel left out, so she brings them all with her every time.
All Dogs Go To Walmart
Still, we can’t help but hope these dogs are well-behaved because they’d have no trouble jumping out of this buggy and running away.
Fashion Folly 101
One of the oldest and most prevalent blunders in dressing yourself is putting your shirt on backward. But, seriously, how can one put on a Polo shirt backward without noticing, let alone experiencing the disturbance?
Fashion Folly 101
But who says it was a mistake? Maybe this young man is merely speculating on a new fashion trend, and the rest of us are falling behind?
Those Darn Newfangled Trends
People taking plungers and gluing them to their bodies prove that the latest craze is always wackier than the last. Were they simply bored while handing the plungers down the aisle?
Those Darn Newfangled Trends
Or did they come to Walmart, particularly with this idea in mind? But, hey, they appear to be having a good time. The real question is, when do Walmart staff intervene in situations like this?
Making it Crystal Clear
Is this person stating their gender as plainly and openly as possible for people to cease misidentifying them? Or did they simply lose a wager with one of their closest friends? In any case, this appears to be something deserving of a raised brow while food shopping at Walmart.
Making It Crystal Clear
On the plus side, this person understands that Great Value cereal is by far the best pick for their wallet, so whatever the rationale behind that sign, they’ve got true insight.
If the Dress Fits
As previously stated, many people have an odd proclivity for changing clothes in public regarding Walmart. But dropping one’s pants right in the middle of the aisle seems excessive, even for Walmart.
If The Dress Fits
On the positive side, the man in question got that dress on quickly, so any innocent eyes will be spared the sight as long as he keeps it on.
Half-n-Half Class
As we’ve already established, fashion statements are among the most eye-catching things going on at Walmart at any given time. This old man’s attire makes us wonder what kind of event necessitates half a tuxedo and a kilt.
Half N Half Class
However, we may accept the tux and kilt as part of something more reasonable. The real question is, what is the story with the pink tights? That’s a lot more difficult to comprehend.
Making a Return
We’re sure this woman was looking for a place to put her sleeping child. Perhaps her arms were tired, or she required both hands to do something with the cashier. But it’s much more amusing to imagine she’s either returning or checking out with a child.
Making A Return
However, this appears to be one of those situations to which the cashier should respond, perhaps with something like “ma’am, please don’t do that.”
Some Whole-Hearted Family Fun
OK, so not everything at Walmart needs to be odd in a negative way. Some of it is wholesome, even if it is still… strange. We’re not sure if these shoppers are related, but the photo has that “cool dad with his fun-loving kids” vibe to it.
Some Whole Hearted Family Fun
We’re not sure when Walmart last sold giant stuffed animal heads for the whole family, but we sure wish they’d bring them back or point us in the right direction.
Walmart Wedding Bells
We wouldn’t want to have our wedding at Walmart. But if you just can’t wait to get married or don’t have time to plan, we suppose there are worse places to go. We don’t know what happened here, so either they had a valid cause, or they just like Walmart.
Walmart Wedding Bells
Who are we to judge? Whatever the scenario is, the couple appears to be content with it, so who are we to pass judgment? Still, it’s an odd thing to come across while shopping, but it’s all in a day’s work for Walmart.
Haven’t We All?
Okay, so maybe we didn’t all sit in a buggy in this exact position as kids, but nearly all of us sat in a buggy at some point. Having said that, most of us probably weren’t sweeping the floor with our hair if we could avoid it.
Haven’t We All?
We’re not sure why no one is stopping this from happening because it appears to be extremely unsanitary and potentially dangerous, but hey, the kid is almost certainly enjoying his thorough examination of the floor.
The Zoo Expands
We’ve shown both dogs and ferrets, the latter of which is unusual but at least native to the United States. We don’t see a monkey very often in public in America. However, seeing one at Walmart is not surprising.
The Zoo Expands
We’re not sure why this woman has a monkey, but they seem to get along well. Is it even legal in this country to keep a monkey as a pet? Given that she hasn’t been arrested yet, we assume she will be under the right circumstances.
Not as Necessary as We Thought
We all like to relax and be a little lazy from time to time, but considering that some people truly need these machines to get around, it doesn’t seem all that courteous to take one if it is so evident that it isn’t required.
Not As Necessary As We Thought
However, the good lady should probably not stand on that thing for her safety, as falling from there could be painful.
The Future of Hybrid Shoes
Footwear hasn’t changed all that much in the last century. After all, there’s no need. However, people continue to try. We’re not sure if Walmart sells these sneaker/sandal hybrids or if the person wearing them was making a statement, but it is what it is.
The Future Of Hybrid Shoes
However, are these shoes truly useful or comfortable? In any case, they appeared to be at ease enough to go shopping at Walmart.
Hefty Hairstyles
Long hair simply does not receive the respect it deserves. But when your hair is this long and styled in this way, it looks unusually… tail-like. It’s almost like one massive dreadlock, and we’re not sure how long it took the guy to get his hair to this point.
Hefty Hairstyles
This is absolutely the type of scene one might encounter while shopping at any Walmart, but as long as this guy doesn’t whip his hair too hard, it won’t be a fatal weapon.
Daddy’s Little Shopper
To be fair to this mature adult, it could be Halloween. To be fair, Harley Quinn is far and away the more likable member of the Joker/Quinn team. Even so, seeing him standing beside a normally dressed companion is strange.
Daddy’s Little Shopper
Still, he clearly wasn’t committed enough because he’s missing a laughably large hammer. However, he can probably find one of those in Walmart, so perhaps that explains the entire photo.
Turtle Travesty
Okay, we’re not going to judge this lady for bringing their turtle to Walmart. We’ve already seen ferrets, dogs, and monkeys. We’re really curious about why this turtle is on a leash. It can’t keep up with the people leading it around.
Turtle Travesty
Maybe she’s lifting the turtle every time she moves, but why is it on a leash in the first place? When it comes to bringing a turtle to Walmart, it appears that there are only troubles, but we’re not shocked.
Are They Even Pants?
Ripped jeans aren’t anything new, but how many tears can one pair of pants take before they’re no longer pants? This girl seemed to believe the answer was at least fifteen. We’re not judging her fashion choices, but why not just wear shorts at this point?
Are They Even Pants?
Did she pay for these jeans that had half their cloth missing? Or did she cause all of her tears? In any case, we’re not sure how we feel about this fashion choice’s practicality to aesthetic ratio.
Regrets Are Forever Too
Ripped jeans aren’t anything new, but how many tears can one pair of pants take until they’re no longer pants? This girl seemed to believe the answer was at least fifteen. We’re not judging her fashion choices, but why not just wear shorts at this point?
Regrets Are Forever Too
Did she pay for these jeans that had half their cloth missing? Or did she cause all of her tears? In any case, we’re not sure how we feel about this fashion choice’s practicality to aesthetic ratio.
All Aboard
Walmart’s handy tiny scooters are frequently used in unexpected ways, but it’s not every day that you see trains of them driving throughout the store. These people decided that a train would be a much more entertaining way for them and their fellow shoppers to shop.
All Aboard
It doesn’t appear to be easy to maneuver this train of scooters, but it works well enough to get these shoppers where they need to go, one way or another.
Multi-Tasking Master
Most people try to look good before going out, but Walmart has a reputation for being one of those places where you can go and appear like almost anything, so this girl presumably sees no reason to kill two birds with one stone.
Multi Tasking Master
Why sit at home waiting for your face mask to dry when you can go shopping? No one will judge you if you do both at the same time at Walmart! Or, at the very least, they won’t be too noisy about it.
A True Retail Hero
Apparently, seeing people in costume isn’t all that uncommon at Walmart, but seeing people fully dressed in superhero clothing is unusual. Captain America, like everyone else, needs to go grocery shopping, and he appears to do so at Walmart.
A True Retail Hero
Hopefully, whatever he’s getting here has something to do with helping the Avengers, or else Nick Fury might have a few words with him about his open gallivanting.
Streaking Takedown
People get arrested from time to time at Walmart, generally for shoplifting. But this particular person was probably arrested for indecent exposure, which isn’t surprising given that he’s only wearing his boxers. But how can he buy clothes if he can’t even go to Walmart?
Streaking Takedown
We’re sure this poor guy won’t get much more than a reprimand, but it seems unfair that he gets taken down while another guy drops his pants to try on a dress unmolested by the authorities.
Reptiles Are Welcome Too
Everyone appears to want to bring their pets to Walmart at some point. And, since there have been so many intriguing entries thus far, why not this lizard? At least, unlike a certain turtle on a leash, this little guy can ride along with his human companion easily.
Reptiles Are Welcome Too
All we have to do now is find someone in Walmart with a bird and a fish, and an entire zoo will be available to the public for free.
Freedom of Expression, Young and Old
Why this old man has dressed up is a mystery that only he can solve. Maybe he just wanted to shake things up or lost a dare. In any case, his appearance is strikingly similar to the typical image of what happens in a Walmart.
Freedom Of Expression, Young And Old
Overall, this old man appears to be quite fashionable, so perhaps he just felt like strutting his stuff for all to see, for which none of us can really judge him.
Clear-Cut Rules
Most people do not approach another person’s baby without permission, but for this woman, it appears to happen so frequently that she felt compelled to place a sign over her baby’s head to deter such people. To be honest, the implication that she has been through so much is a little frightening.
Clear Cut Rules
On the other hand, she could be trying to ward off weirdos by leaving her baby alone for a while, but for many reasons, we hope she doesn’t, even if it makes for a funny picture.
Art Is Beyond Comprehension
Seeing this man raises many questions that we’re not sure anyone can answer. Was this something that happened to him in Walmart, or did he show up to Walmart looking like this? Was it on purpose or by chance? Is it art at all? That’s a difficult question to answer, so we’ll just say yes.
Art Is Beyond Comprehension
Granted, this man doesn’t appear to be in a good mood, so perhaps he was in an accident and has come to Walmart to clean up? In that case, perhaps the entire image makes a lot more sense.
Bringing it Back
Jorts were never particularly popular, to begin with, because shortened jeans simply do not look good on the majority of people. Even so, there’s a way to rock just about anything, and this guy is certainly doing so. And who knows, maybe it’s really hot at this Walmart?
Bringing It Back
Or perhaps he’s just reliving the glory days of the ’80s, considering that his entire ensemble is pretty old-school. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with reliving the glory days if you can still make it look good.
Bonding With the Daughter
The older folk can sometimes find it difficult to understand their younger counterparts. Perhaps this man is attempting to understand the younger generation’s mindset by imitating some of their fashion choices. If that’s the case, he’s probably finding those leggings much more comfortable than he expected.
Bonding With The Daughter
Whether or not he’s discovering a new world of fashion, this type of image doesn’t seem too far-fetched for the bizarre world of Walmart. In fact, compared to some things, it probably seems rather tame.
Truly Romantic
Weddings are apparently not uncommon at Walmart, but perhaps this couple is just passing through after the wedding? After all, couples have a long list of items to purchase before leaving on their honeymoon, so it’s not too far-fetched.
Truly Romantic
Was their shopping list, however, so pressing that they didn’t even have time to change out of their wedding attire? Evidently, since there they are, completely dressed for the wedding they have just finished, had, or are about to have, in Walmart.
Someone Call CPS
This is clearly a frightening rather than entertaining sight. Parents have been reminding their children for decades not to put plastic bags over their heads, yet this mother seemed to be quite fine with allowing the child in front of her to do something extremely harmful.
Someone Call CPS
We’re hoping she would realize before the girl comes to any harm, but who lets their child do something like this? At the very least, teach your children to be safe and don’t ignore a hazard right before you.
True Easter Passion
Even though the image quality is a little low, one can see how enthusiastic this old man is about Easter. That’s an assumption, but it’s difficult to see any other reason he’d be dressed in such a way and covered in Easter symbols and memorabilia.
True Easter Passion
This begs the question, did he show up to Walmart like this, or did he deck himself out in this manner using items he found in Walmart? If it’s the latter, the employees sure weren’t too keen on stopping him.
Far Too Much Info
Bad design choices are one thing, but Walmart has a habit of bringing out things that no one wants to see in another way. This man’s shirt is most likely an effort at humor, but it results in more cocked brows and twisted expressions than anything else.
Far Too Much Info
However, we’d be lying if we said this was an unusual sight at Walmart, as many people have undoubtedly witnessed far worse during their shopping trips.
Priorities Are in Order
This couple clearly understands what the best part of Walmart is: access to some amusing and useful plushie-grabbing machines! Given that the buggy is empty, it’s almost as if the sight of these boxes of pure joy distracted them from their shopping trip.
Priorities Are In Order
Perhaps they’re only looking for a gift for their child, which is a rather pure and charming scene compared to what generally happens at Walmart.
We Make Do
Uggs may not be the most costly shoes in the world, but money is money, and fashion can sometimes be expensive. In such cases, Walmart customers know exactly how to substitute in the most absurd way possible.
We Make Do
We’re curious to know what this woman was going for with this whole thing, but it made for an amusing snippet of Walmart hilarity.
Underneath the Facade
We’re unsure if we want to know what’s happening here. We’re not one to pass judgment, but we imagine this would catch anyone off guard. And who knows: maybe a long day at work and a bad night’s sleep caused him to grab his wife’s underwear instead of his own.
Underneath The Facade
Accidents happen, don’t they? Or maybe he’s just an enlightened soul who understands something the rest of us don’t. After all, the wisest men always appear odd to those around them.
Never Grow Old
The only difference between a child and an adult, they say, is that adults can do whatever they want. This woman’s obvious fondness for life’s colorful and fun side seems to represent that pretty clearly, as she retained her childhood fun side more than most.
Never Grow Old
Overall, she appears to be a lot of fun to hang out with, and her kids (assuming she has children, of course!) would probably enjoy having a fun mom.
Pity for the Burned
These two women clearly went to the beach, but one of them clearly used a lot more sunscreen than the other. This isn’t a Walmart-exclusive sight, but it appears that the poor girl on the right is eager to show off her poor decision-making abilities.
Pity For The Burned
We just hope her friend isn’t the kind of person that likes to slap sunburn, though if she was, the victim would probably be inclined to protect themselves better the next time she visits a beach.
Rocking the Look
We don’t know why this person is clothed in this manner. Whether they are a member of the usually underrepresented LGTBQ population or not, the point remains that this photograph is a little out of the ordinary, especially given this very tall figure absolutely sporting an unorthodox style.
Rocking The Look
We’re not sure if this is fashion-forward or not, but it’s certainly not out of the ordinary in the wild jungle that is Walmart.
Embracing the Legend
The King of Pop passed away many years ago, but his fans live on. Still, you don’t see too many people trying to copy him this close, even in Walmart. But, hey, we’re not complaining since, as they say, imitation is the purest form of flattery.
Embracing The Legend
Let’s just hope this particular fan doesn’t leave us in the same unexpected and heartbreaking way Michael Jackson did, or we’ll have to be sad all over again.
The Cheapest Date
Don’t have enough cash to go on a date? You don’t own a game console? Why not just go to Walmart and have some free demos? If you wear camouflage, the employees will most likely not notice that you’ve been there for several hours.
The Cheapest Date
Granted, this is probably a fairly common sight in Walmart, especially in comparison to many of the other items on this list, but it’s still worth mentioning.
