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.

It's a marketing ploy to subliminally shift the Macaroni off the shelves.

Twenty2 you'll be pleased to know I sang that in my head 😂😂😂

I blame my mother for making me despise things like this. This afternoon we have a socially distanced tea in a neighbour's field (equivalent to a street round here) and I am very bah humbug about it all. Then I feel really bad because all the neighbours are absolutely lovely. I really am very antisocial!

Waitrose queue was lovely yesterday - silence and sunshine!

I would laugh out loud. Lighten up OP

Go and moan about some noise half a mile away

What about Vera Lynn 100 yards away at full blast for 2 hours?

Am I allowed to moan?!

You should have requested some Smiths or The Cure

Heaven Knows I'm Miserable now? Apt

Oh please tell us where and I will send DH down to get a couple of essential cucumbers or something! Just to see his face would be priceless.

I know you're too late, but next time perhaps you could request they turn it off. If they decline, then perhaps request Smack My Bitch Up, Closer, or Laid. And then see if they play that at full volume across a car park. Please?

My neighbours are also all nice but I am really dreading the street party. I would have had to leave if people singing in the queue to the supermarket 😂

Just to clarify, Closer by NIN. Not Neyo or Kings of Leon.

A bit sick (sorry, but they could go with...) No offence meant.

Isolation (John Lennon)
Touch me, I'm sick (Sonic Youth)
I will survive (Gloria Gaynor)
Staying Alive (Bee Gees)
Fever (Peggy Lee)
Ventilator Blues (Rolling Stones)
Don't stand so close to me (The Police)
Boredom (Buzzcocks)
You sound like you're sick (The Ramones)
Girlfriend in a coma (The Smiths)

Oh no oh no oh no the girl with the microphone is asking people at the front for requests. I’m 3 people away.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC?

Very 11.30 pm at a wedding disco.

You'll be getting the Grease Megamix soon.

I've just had a panic in case I'm ever faced with this emergency. I've just followed a youtube tutorial to learn the macarena.
It's a bit complicated.

A fine choice @PineappleDanish, but I'm tempted to head down to SW London and see if I can get the line "but she only cums when she's on top" played full-blast in a car park.

"I want to fuck you like an animal" also has excellent comedic potential but unfortunately NINs music is a bit more grungy and they might get wind of what's coming before we get to that line. Laid by James is quite catchy and it sneaks up on you.

Bet they'd still turn that off PDQ though.

Alas.

Op you have made me laugh out loud, I think I would try to join you in banging my right tit in a car door at this but I would be cringing so hard I would be under the car.

It’s a classic example of introvert VS extrovert, any introverts reading this understand the acute discomfort it arouses to see things like this, some extroverts , but not all, think we are being miserable. They don’t understand that our insides are curdling!

This is the kind of thing I’d love to see but hate to be apart of and would possibly combust from cringing inside. I’d love to be so carefree.

I'm with you OP. small, essential bits of my soul would wither and die.

But equally at @ohyoubadbadkitten you tubing the maccerana just in case.

From a long suppressed memory of a distant cousins wedding, it is indeed a bit complicated.

Moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan moan.
Go and sit in your garden. Go and moan about some noise half a mile away. Moan about bunting. Moan about clapping. Moan about Captain Tom. Moan about someone having a bar b que and “ don’t they know there’s a killer pandemic”. Take your cats bum mouth and bore off with the rest of whingers.

Well, there's rich for you

It's fine that you are an introvert and don't want to join in but let everyone else have their enjoyment. I think it sounds like a great welcome back to community spirit.

I'd enjoy watching, but I would struggle to join in. Sounds like fun. But I'm quite introverted so would struggle to push past my self censoring and actually do it.

If I got caught up in the mood I might sway a little as long as maintaining distance, more likely just smile.

I usually hate this sort of thing but last week found myself dancing and singing to love shack in Tesco's. The music was really loud. The cashier (ex air hostess) said they played loud music as it was eerily quiet otherwise. I don't know what came over me. Probably because been unable to go out and dance for so long.

I'd have joined in. Queuing is boring!
Sorry not helpful

😂😂😂Nooooo!
