People in the Tesco queue are doing the Macarena and I’m cringing so hard I think I might turn inside out

[Prettybubblesintheair]

Just that really, essential shopping trip for us and two elderly shielded neighbours. Standing in the huge queue for Tesco, they’re blasting 90’s and 00’s classics out and people are dancing accordingly. At the end of each song they all cheer and clap. I’m a complete introvert, would rather shut my left tit in a car door than get involved.

Probably being a miserable kill joy but with a killer virus on the loose I don’t feel like flailing your limbs about and cheering me in close proximity to lots of people is the best idea. I want to shop then go home and sit in the bloody garden, not do the fucking time warp. Again.

YappityYapYap me too and thinking where i can use it right away!

Oh I would love a bit of that.

Cha Cha slide is my favourite.

What the actual fresh hell?

I guess you could be grateful theyre not all on the floor doing oops upside your head

¡YAY! ¡MACARENA!
💃🏻🎉💃🏻
I’d love it but feel your pain

I would have asked for ‘It’s the end of the world as we know it’. Try dancing to that.

Actually our Waitrose has a pair who sit outside the door - one begs and yells at everyone ‘have ye got a twenty-five pound, missus? I’m trying to save for a room - only £1million’ whilst the other guy dances like Bez wearing headphones so god knows what he is dancing to.

Haha... I'm with you OP and love your humour!

I would not be frowning at anyone, I would not be making a face. No one would know what face I am making because I would put my shopping bag over my head. Long life one of course.

We live in a very quiet spot. We've been subjected to Vera Lynn for 2 hours now. Very loud.

Call me a killjoy. Call me what you like but I defy anyone to enjoy Vera Lynn for 2 hours.

We'll meet again
Bluebirds over the white cliffs
Lili Marlene
There'll always be an England

I know them all now and will be answering questions on Mastermind on Vera Lynn.

Having spent more than 30 years in SW London I had to look up Yiewesley having never heard of it. It's in Hillingdon, nr Heathrow. It isn't wrong to define it as such but it's unusual.

I too think you should have gone to Waitrose but it spunds rather jolly.

I think I would have gone home without my food rather than put up with that!

I would be so conflicted 😄
standing there cringing while secretly wishing I had the lack of embarrassment to join in too

I would flee and just go without food for a week instead.

Sounds awesome! I'd love that.

p.s. Not sure what our German neighbours are thinking of it all !

With two left feet, tone deaf, I would not be joining in maybe,but it would make me smile.

I died cringing just reading that. Painful

Have to admit the music sounded a bit loud when they first put it on in Tescos a few weeks ago. Have got used to it though, and sometimes it's nice to have something uplifting to focus on while queuing. Apparently three people were doing the YMCA down one of the aisles the other week

I bet it made OP smile though, rather than be a cats bum mouth

Go on admit it OP, you just wanted to do a solo!

It’s a strong nope from me

I'd be cringing myself inside out too

Well that's decided then OP, we need a Mumsnet CV19 Playlist thread for cringey supermarket queues - this will catch on and be happening everywhere by tomorrow

Those suggesting OP goes to Waitrose have obviously never been to Yiewsley

You’d have to drive a bit further out to find one.

Emailing this as a suggestion to the local Tesco... It sounds fucking awesome!

I think you should honour John Deacon and request "Another one bites the dust".

If they played That Pharrell Williams One though I would be contemplating death by impaling myself on the nearest available spike (keeping to social distance of course)

I want to shop then go home and sit in the bloody garden, not do the fucking time warp. Again.

I'm the biggest grump going and even I couldn't get annoyed about this 😂😂😂
