20 Walmart Encounters So Absurd You’d Think They Were Staged

#15 Why?

In a public restroom stall, the person in the next stall was sitting on the toilet — but had taken off both shoes and was barefoot on the floor. Through the gap under the partition, you could see two bare feet with the shoes neatly placed beside them. The scene makes anyone ask: “Why?” Why take off your shoes in a public restroom? Too hot? Wanting to relax your toes? Whatever the reason, this kind of bathroom behavior is enough to make your neighbor question the meaning of life. And “Why?” is the only possible response.

#16 They’re Nuns. I Hope

This photo probably shows two women dressed in black and white habits, looking like nuns — but something about them seems a little off. Maybe they’re buying beer, maybe their habits are made of cheap fabric from the craft aisle, or maybe they’re just regular customers who happen to look like nuns from a distance. The title adds “I hope” — a small but crucial qualification, suggesting the photographer isn’t entirely sure. Are they real nuns? Halloween shoppers? Walmart employees in a prank? The uncertainty makes it funny.
