Ah the supermarket aisle: a mundane catwalk of everyday life.
But every so often, we come across characters so out of the ordinary that reality is briefly suspended.
These images, rounded up from across the world, showcase the shoppers so out-there, they simply had to be captured on camera.
In America, the sheer volume of these snaps is so great that a website exists to document them, the wildly popular People of Walmart.
Here, MailOnline presents a selection of photos submitted to the web which will if nothing else leave you scratching your head.
