Grocery shopping is one of those things you can’t avoid (unless you’re rich enough to hire a personal grocery shopper). Of course, it’s not all bad. Some people even find comfort in grocery shopping. Most of us find it a hassle, but it does offer some interesting opportunities. Though crazy incidents are rare, if you happen to be in a supermarket when something astonishing goes down, you’ll be thankful that you decided to visit the supermarket at just the right time.

As a customer was trying to get some chips for his late-night movie marathon, he came across this cat sleeping in one of the cardboard containers.

Can I get a bigger turkey?​

Sometimes, overhearing a conversation can make a dull day bright. It doesn’t mean that we love to eavesdrop – it’s just perfect when you overhear a funny conversation at just the right moment. A Twitter user shared a conversation that she overheard while in the frozen food section of the grocery store.

The woman wanted to ask the stock boy at the grocery store if there were any bigger turkeys in stock. However, she phrased the question differently, making it sound as if the frozen turkeys could get bigger. Instead of replying most helpfully, the stock boy chose to take the woman’s question literally. We wonder if the woman thought it was as funny as this Twitter user clearly did!

Lost in translation​

The international food aisle in the supermarket has the most exciting products. These customers were strolling through the grocery when something caught their attention – the dad noticed that the sign read, “Frozen Hispanic.”

Funnily enough, the dad has Hispanic heritage and quickly made a joke out of the sign. This is such a dad thing to do. He posed for a photo that makes it look like he is freezing in front of the freezer. It’s a true dad joke, and we love it.

Wait, are those twins?​

Seeing a pair of twins on the street is not a new thing. We often find them cute, especially if they are wearing matching outfits. However, what if you stumbled upon adult twins who still dress identically?

A customer found these elderly identical twins wearing the same outfit and couldn’t believe how cute they were. As you can see in the photo, even the socks and shoes are the same. To be honest, they deserve an award for being so dedicated to their life as twins.

I’m doing it myself​

As a responsible citizen, sometimes you take things into your own hands. For example, if you see some misplaced shampoo, you might get the urge to organize things and help the grocery store employees. However, this grandpa took it to the next level.

As shared by his grandson, this awesome grandfather put in an effort to save the wilting plants at the Walmart garden center. He saw that the employees at the shop were already overworked, running around attending to customer needs. It’s a good thing that he found a hose, turned it on, and started to water the plants. If the plants could speak, we’re sure they’d be thanking the grandad for a great job.

Perfect timing!​

Witty shirts are not a new trend. Designers love playing with words when it comes to t-shirt design. The photo below perfectly captured a fun way to play with words. Was this accidental or not? Your guess is as good as ours!

If you look closely, a man is walking along in a shirt that declares “security.” Behind him and to the left, it looks like a fellow security guard is walking. However, if you look closely, his shirt reads, “insecurity.” Talk about perfect timing!

Wanted: aliens for employment opportunities​

Cosplay is a good marketing scheme to promote a certain product or service. Some establishments use this trick to draw a lot of visitors to their site. This employee took cosplaying to the next level by dressing up as an alien while cleaning the store.

As a customer, I will be shocked and excited to see an alien casually vacuuming a store. This drew the attention of many customers, and they started taking pictures of it for fun. True enough, employees of the store are also having fun dressing up.

A Swedish arthouse film​

IKEA is famous for its product displays and the delicious food in its canteens. If you have been to IKEA, you have probably spent hours wandering through the aisles and wondering how these things would look in your home.

This guy took it to the next level by creating a scene from an arthouse film – a Swedish arthouse film, to be precise. The black and white filter does add a sense of brooding seriousness to the photo. How artistic! I wonder what the IKEA employees thought.
