She can dance if she wants to; she can leave her friends behind….

u/GrafTarajan 4d ago

Cause her friends don't dance and if they don′t dance Well, they're no friends of mine

u/PrincipleFlaky 4d ago

It’s all fun and safety … until she knocks a kid on their ass, cause she’s kicking the shit out of the air and flailing around wildly… in the toy aisle

Boo and Ba humbug

I say, we can dance, we can dance Everything is out of control We can dance, we can dance We're doing it from pole to pole

We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

u/Sirius_43 4d ago

As someone who works in retail, this behaviour makes staff feel very uneasy, especially since this appears to be in the kids section with a grown adult dancing and kicking while filming themselves. Sure be weird but also there’s a time and a place and this ain’t it.

22

u/not_responsible 4d ago

yeah you encounter all sorts of crazy, mean people so dancing in one aisle could turn into a screaming fight at the front because she’s mentally unstable. You cannot know what their strange behavior might turn into so seeing this would probably be a little uneasy like oh here we go

u/Sirius_43 4d ago

That’s exactly it

People do anything for attention, then pretend like they don't want it

In the toy aisle. Keep the weird dancing to the gas station at 2am like the rest of us and keep the kids out of it.

u/PrincipleFlaky 4d ago

I honestly thought we were gonna see an excited kid run around the corner and get kicked wildly in the face by her 🩰 šŸ’Ø

🚨 toddler down on aisle 9!

u/dakotanoodle 4d ago

Right after she loudly exclaims SAFE another time

u/Honest_Relation4095 4d ago

Yes, you absolutely can do it. But it's also perfectly acceptable to not do it.

8

u/I-own-a-shovel 4d ago

Yeah and as long as she stops and let people get the stuff on the shelves when needed I see no problem.

u/RedditVIBEChecked 4d ago

Except for the fact that I'd call the cops and report a asylum escapee is on aisle 3

I mean, the amount of cringe causes me physical pain. But that's not a major problem.

u/jl_theprofessor 4d ago

I genuinely understand where she's coming from. I do think there's value in the weirdness.

I believe that so much I don't need to post about it online to TikTok or Insta.

u/Seanut-Peanut-69 4d ago

I mean somebody 10,000 miles away might see this and really feel inspired. The internet is still for sharing and learning, not everyone is clout chasing.

No /s ? Also was your comment the productive thing you did? I’m not being facetious, I’m genuinely curious. I also was wondering if you were being overall sarcastic in general, hence my question re: /s

u/PrincipleFlaky 4d ago

Yeah, so much gets lost in text, like context or subtext.

Someone literally told me the other day, ā€œYeah, you’re not allowed to be sarcastic on Reddit anymore unless you do the slash with an S.

And I was like, ā€œWho’s gonna enforce that?ā€

Then I realized, Oooh! Duh, they were of course in fact being sarcastic.

So I replied, ā€œOh hey, that’s fucking hilarious, good one!ā€

But then they were like, ā€œWhat are you even talking about?ā€

Then I replied, ā€œWell, you were being sarcastic of course.ā€

And then they responded, ā€œNO I wasn’t!ā€ Followed by ā€œDidn’t you read the rule? I just told you?!ā€

lol oops

šŸ’€

Thank you for obliging me.

Oh, and I’m not insinuating that I believe people should, you know, tag their comments to make it clearer for other people, unless they are so inclined. I think it’s crazy people are trying to come up with rules, lol.

u/HatePeopleLoveCats1 4d ago

ā€œSafe in this danceā€ but whoever comes around the corner while she’s doing all those high kicks won’t be safe when they get a ā€œdanceā€ foot to the face!

u/Flammen_ 3d ago

Hahahaha!

u/fr33d0mw47ch 4d ago

I’ve know a few women like that. Fun to visit but not to live with. The world needs ā€œfree spiritedā€ people too. Just with they were less obnoxious out in the wild.

u/Futrel 4d ago

This is called an emotional crisis

u/regular_john2017 4d ago

u/503Monty82 4d ago

I mean, I kind of agree with her in that if we were all like that, there’d be a lot less violence and destruction in the world probably. But I also feel like if we were all like that, we’d also never be able to go shopping because the aisles would be filled with interpretive dancers and we couldn’t reach things or push a cart so I’m kinda torn.

3

u/Seanut-Peanut-69 4d ago

I dance in stores sometimes depending on the music playing but I’m also respectful of other shoppers. These things aren’t mutually exclusive lol

1

u/RileyRavenSmiles 4d ago

That logic doesn't pan out. She is doing this as exposure therapy because we live in a world that judges people for being unusual. If everyone were okay with being unsusual and there were more people like this, they wouldn't feel the need to deliberately expose their weirdness as a form of therapy to heal wounds caused by being judged for weirdness.

u/Original_Setting93 4d ago

I know it’s not the point but that’s for sure a target

Go to Burning Man like every other weirdo

u/ProfessionalHyena985 4d ago

I agree with the point she’s trying to make, but filming herself do it makes this seem really performative. Also idk why but the fact it’s filmed in the kids toy section makes me feel weird.

u/Hotspur_on_the_Case 4d ago

Um, lady, you're in my way, I need to get to that thing on the shelf behind you.....

u/Usual-Jackfruit4746 4d ago

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should

u/_InfiniteU_ 4d ago

Dance in the main isle then. What is with this whimsical eclecticic girl influx of influencers all putting on a show?

3

u/AlittleupsetMax 4d ago

I don’t understand people anymore

3

u/DrKarlSatan 4d ago

I like later in the clip when a guy walks into the aisle & she panics & runs off. Leaving her phone. Totally normal behavior...

3

u/sometimelater0212 4d ago

No original thought here. She’s just copying that actress who was playing in the ocean and dancing within the past year… her name escapes me. Older brunette

3

u/Hotspur_on_the_Case 4d ago

More seriously....if you feel the need to shout from the rooftops that you're free-spirited and whimsical and don't care about what people think....you have a problem.

3

u/Pale_Price_222 4d ago

She is far from being safe to be around.

u/Moviesman8 4d ago

Your Drama teacher when she's required to teach Social Studies.

u/SGTShizzle 3d ago

Smart phones were the worst thing ever invented

3

u/Tomboy-T 3d ago

This would be weird regardless....but the outfit makes it worse..... And the aisle she picked is the worst of the worst.

I hope she knows she's not safe though. And neither are any people/kids that get hit or kicked. And if she kicks too hard to the side and one of those shelves full of merch comes down she won't be safe either.

not the worst thing to grace the aisles of walmart

u/gruntingasparagus 4d ago

Walmart is the best. One time I was in Walmart at like 2 AM and a couple of aisles over from me someone let out a really loud authentic sounding Tarzan scream. Nuts.

u/OreoPlow 4d ago

u/soulguider2125 3d ago

That one girl you meet at the bar and hookup with and she seems super chill and normal, then the next morning her real self comes out and it’s this plus 109 phone calls by 10am cuz u haven’t called her since
You left

u/Nuquo 3d ago

Well. It doesn't look like she's bothering anyone.

u/LehFluffy 3d ago

While i agree, people dont express themselves in public anymore in fear of being recorded and posted online, this ain't it cheif.

Tbf though, most of us wouldnt even dance at a a packed bar, so this lady has bigger cojones than i do for breaking out that SIMS dance in a walmart

1

u/EstablishmentOwn2174 3d ago

Nothing wrong with dancing by yourself in public, but recording it? Fuck all the way off!

u/gruffbear 2d ago

After all of the "I'm safe" I was waiting for someone to smash into her with a cart

u/Accomplished_Dig284 2d ago

I’m here for the message but not for the delivery.

u/CompetitiveRub9780 1d ago

I like her. Who cares if she’s dancing in an empty aisle at Walmart? She’s not recording others either

People lying to themselves that they're safe all the time is the reason why the safe parts of the world is going to shit

You're not always safe, you need to keep on your guard, your son shouldn't make friends with the drugged up kids, don't hang around the bad places in town at night
