The supermarket, just like the subway or the airport , is a place where life unfolds in the most natural way. In fact, it captures the human experience so well, you can even sometimes feel as if you aren't shopping, but watching a play.

There's Sam from the Night's Watch in the lead role of a cashier, a "Nana Slicer" on a shelf, competing for the most intense prop design award ever, and a couple getting married in the garden section at a local Walmart. So next time you walk into a store, view it as you would a Tony Award-winning improvisation, and I promise you, it'll make the experience so much better. In the meantime, scroll down to check out this list by Bored Panda which includes the strangest moments in shopping history!

@Rita Miller why shame? Polio kills those it does not maim, the vaccine would have prevented a life time in this chair. Shame on you for ignoring the truth.

He should know. Bless his heart. My great Aunt had polio as a child, and she had severe physical disabilities. But she never let it stop her. She had spirit like this man.

Sadly this message still isn't clear enough for a lot of anti-vaxers. And it all could be so easily resolved by proper legislation to force all parents to have their children vacinated. Thanks to anti-vaxxers a lot of diseases which were almost abolished are returning. I hope that they can live with the thought that thanks to them people are dying because their children are spreading diseases.

yeah... antivaxx doesn't care about the fact even if we put it in their face and rub it in.

Unfortunately, anti-vaxers are more likely to blame his condition on vaccines.

Amazing! I love it when people deal with their situation and keep their good humor. We need more people like him to show these antivaxxers just how wrong they are.

I know someone who had polio as a child, she was lucky, she has one leg that is shorter than the other, so she got off pretty easy, but she did say she sometimes has bad days where she’ll have a flare up.

In Germany Polio vaccination was also compulsory 'til the 70s and the polio was eradicated and hopefully stays that way

Then you are putting your children and those children around your children at unnecessary risk. It is unfortunate that you can't understand basic science.

you mean the science that clearly demonstrates vaccines save a hundred times more lives than otherwise? Or do you mean the science that clearly demonstrates the scaremongering antivaxers are outright lying?

I don't think people don't want to vaccine their children at all, they just want SAFE vaccines. Whatever you say, many drugs are useful but also toxic and too many doctors don't care about what they prescribe. I work in a pharmacy and I see a lot of side effects of prescribed treatments. They help for one thing but destroy the other. I don't have children but if I had, I would care for safe vaccines. Fight FOR safety, not AGAINST preoccupied parents.

There's also two little old ladies here in my neighborhood that aren't twins but dress up and put on their makeups identical as if they were twins. The funny thing is they are always bickering and arguing one another. And yes they're short and tiny and their makeup is out of wack....
