Man Greeted by Scorpion While Reaching for Bananas

Be careful where you blindly stick your hand.

An innocent shopper who was simply trying to grab some bananas was met by an aggressive scorpion. 

The man was shopping at a Walmart in South Hills, Pa. last Wednesday when he dipped his hand into a box of bananas, then felt a pinch that he didn't expect. When he pulled his arm out in panic, a scorpion landed on the ground. Not your everyday Walmart experience. Operating on pure adrenaline and instinct, he threw a lid over the scorpion and stepped on it. 

The man—who had his children, ages two and three, with him—wasn't seriously injured, but still wisely elected to visit a doctor. The Walmart reportedly did not offer to cover his medical fees.
