Fun Things to Do At Walmart

Sign in to disble this ad
So my friend from work recently moved to Missouri (Misery) and he told me the only source of entertainment nearby is a Movie Theater and a Walmart.

I suggested he find out how long he can camp in a display tent before being discovered. Or hide in the clothing racks and scare small children.

How about you? Any ideas for my friend?

If they have a grocery section, this one is funny. Have him put random items in other people carts while they are shopping. Then go to the checkout stand when they do and watch their reactions when they notice the item.

It gets funnier when you put items in the cart that you wouldn't picture the person buying....maybe a box of condoms in an old ladies cart.

At Walmart? Hardly. One of the pedalboard threads inspired me to create a walmart quote of my own.

ROFL you could have so much fun with this!

Here are my suggestions:

Take a fishing pole from the sports department and go to the pets department and try to catch goldfish.

Challenge small children to beat you in the display video game, while talking a lot of trash about your L337 skillz

See how many McApplePies you can consume in 30 minutes

Play dress up...in the women's section

Chat the guy at the gun counter up about the best caliber to use for ex-wives.

Ride the children's bicycles around in a store wide race

3) Hook up mp3 player up too sound systems, Play profanities loudly.

4) Find intercom code, and rap to the fresh prince theme song.

All reasons why I am not allowed in the local walmart for a few more months.

Stand right behind the person that greets customers, and welcome them using another store's name.

Or tell the greeter that some one has dropped a bunch of $100 bills in the parking lot & see what they do.

more fun...

In every isle of the toy section, put one box of condoms in the middle of the floor.

Store-bike-races are awesome too.

When they put out all of the holiday ****, especially those talking santa things, make them all go off at once and return periodically to set them off again.

I also take sharpies and draw faces on watermelons sometimes...

take coffee beans and put them in clothes pockets.

stick a bannana in the mannequin's pants...

I have to try hooking my mp3 up to some speakers in there...
