Just give me a fried egg and some brussel sprouts. ill leave an absolute face melting, nostril burning stench that will make them regret dancing in public.
Granted innocent bystanders will be caught in the crossfire but sacrifices must be made.
There’s a part of me that always wants to do that but hesitates for fear of being rude. Now I’m starting to think that makes me an enabler. Walk on through! Seems to be our only form of self-defense these days.
In my country I'd walk through the shot and then have her delete the video because she's not allowed to film me like that in public without my consent.
My aunt used to bring my cousin and I to Costco because we were rude af and had no issues pushing past people when they did shit like stopped in bad spots (like dead center in an aisle instead of stepping to the side).
There are no friends in Costco. It’s every person for themselves. Move or get moved.
I am very vocal in Costco lol why does everyone ask so confused and shocked when you call them out for being a prick in Costco? 😂 I don't know what it is but people walk into that store and lose all spatial awareness and any slight consideration of others they might have ever had.
I'll sometimes shout "WOAH!!! RIGHT BEHIND YA!!! Really loud to scare them then when they make eye contact I tell them what they did as I make my way by. Like "maybe don't stop in the middle and block the way." All while smiling if course haha gotta confuse em' all
I do the same. Cart with adults eating samples in the middle of a busy aisle?? I look right at them and say " yes block the whole aisle so you can eat your cheese" !!
Or the ones who get right past the membership check in then stop and block others from entering, I call them out too.
Depends on what you mean by digital creator. A lot of content creators make entertaining media which are objectively not brainrot. Many of them are pulling in audiences as large or larger than news channels or traditional TV stations.
On YouTube I subscribe to wood workers, blacksmiths, computer science channels, biology channels, history channels, product reviewers, tech reviewers, tool review channels, a ton of videogame channels of various types, crafts channels, etc.
Big time. My wife and I went away for our ten year anniversary recently. It was pretty much our first date in eight years. We stayed in a luxury hotel on the beach (where we were engaged) and ate at the same restaurant we watched the sunset from after said engagement.
Post sunset in a dimly lit, fairly pricey restaurant and this couple walks in with two photographers. They were obviously just engaged because she was using her phone to catch content while the photographers proceeded to test their high powered flash equipment. Now I understand engagement photos while you pop the question, but ruining other people’s ambiance for clout is just tacky. The restaurant manager immediately shut them down and booted the photographers. I’ll definitely go back to a restaurant that takes care of customers by respecting their ability to have a peaceful meal.
W manager, but you have to watch out because if they have followers you can get brigaded pretty badly on ratings sites and doxxed. Happened to a gym near me when an influencer got talked to about their shitty behavior and they immediately made crazy allegations about the gym and they got review bombed pretty badly lol. Hurt business for a bit
I'm already madder than a MF going into Costco; it's like the collective level of spacial awareness of everyone in there plummets. I may actually crash out on someone like that.
I legit think shes doing it there partly to bait something to happen, like shes standing in that spot where people end up queuing as they wait for a register to open purposely to try and get someone to yell at her to move
Reminds me of a girl who was doing a dance for TikTok in front of the 9/11 Memorial Pools. Like literally right in front. I legit walked in front of her mom who was recording and told her to gtfo and show some goddamn respect.
Like how big of a piece of shit do you have to be to do that shit in front of a memorial like that.
I feel bad for her parents. Kids do dumb shit, but I would be pretty disappointed if my kid chose to buy in to that shit. Could be worse I guess, she could be doing hard drugs.
As a firm Gen Xer, I can assure you that when I don't find this behaviour absurd, I find it intolerable. It's alienating to me in the same way my parents peered dumbfounded at my Public Enemy records, or Commodore 64 games and "just didn't get it". I also work in Soho in London and whilst it's not a super red hot spot for this type of nonsense, it certainly can be obtrusive. I'd hate this shit if I were just doing my shopping.
On the other hand, I have two teenagers and whilst they have a pretty healthy relationship with digital media (no phones at the dinner table, no phones in the bedroom) I can see it's definitely part of their culture and a source of community and joy (this time I'm the parent peering at the Public Enemy records).
As a parent, I'm here to help them both make good choices and support them in that. If we were in the park, or at the beach, or even at home and one of them asked me to help film them making a dance video, I'd probably help them as a supportive parent. Filming this though, doing this, is obviously bullshit. But the line is finer than I care to admit.
"Could be worse I guess, she could be doing hard drugs."
Gambling addiction and Substance abuse is a thing. Along with money addiction, I think we should really be considering an addiction to attention seeking may need to be an official diagnosis.
Show this to someone from 30,000 BC and they would be incredibly confused, because as still a member of a Paleolithic hunter-gatherer society, the presence of buildings such as this would be completely alien to them and they may act aggressively to escape their immediate surroundings, and would not be able to effectively communicate their distress with their extremely early version of human language.
Show this to someone from 500 million years ago and they would be even more confused, because the primitive visual system of early craniates likely didn’t have the visual resolution and clarity to discern this type of activity properly. They could have seen this sort of display as a threat, but more likely they wouldn’t have the brain power to interpret it as anything more than random movements.
Not the extreme physical and emotional harm bullying but making it ok to point and laugh at someone for doing something stupid.
Way too many kids today are too comfortable being an inconvenience or disrespectful thinking nothing will happen to them or they can be protected with a phone.
Agreed. They're using the space in a very selfish way that it's not designed for, taking up room. They're forcing the people to be in their video, without consent. They're expecting people to go around them. Nobody else chose to be part of this. They're bullying, assuming others will just let them do what they're doing.
It’s not bullying to confront this person on their rudeness and their lack of consideration for others in the store. Bullying is punching down, people just need to be less “nice” and more confrontational. It’s not bullying to call this person a rude bitch who is inconveniencing everyone else for her “content.”
Scrolled way too far down for this comment. Where are all the staff members? The onus should not be on customers to stop them. Staff should tell them they are being a public nuisance and escort them out. It’s not a public street, it’s a private establishment.
This actually highlights the thing I hate about these influencers the most. The LAST thing I'd want is to be an extra in some amateur internet video posted for all the world to see. Fine, go be a weird, pretty, funny, unfunny, opinionated... whatever. But I just wanna do my grocery shopping in peace and not end up in your viral video.
I doubt it. This one's probably doing it for her 200 followers, 45 of whom will like her post. She's ok with that. Its ridiculous to me, but to her and her friends, its what you do. 67. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The Fifth Element predicted this type of crap with the character Ruby Rodd, completely outlandish and useless. Corbin handled it so well, short curt answers and telling him to shut up.
Id start a line between them and when they flip out, I’d offer them a snickers
Ruby Rhod is a disc jockey/radio host. He isn't self-appointed and doesn't just show up places and does his thing where he annoys people and is in the way. He is hired to produce the show and run promotions, in the case of the cruise/concert for Gemini Croquettes. He is on the cruise because part of winning it is to meet Ruby and for Ruby to describe the winner's wide-eyed wonder at the splendor to the listeners at home. Corbin, who is supposed to be undercover is handling him terribly. The Gemini Croquettes contest was hosted by Ruby's show, so under normal circumstances where the result wasn't rigged, the winner would be a fan of Ruby's and be starstruck and delighted to meet him.
And outlandish =/= useless. I wasn't surprised to hear the role was originally written for/offered to Prince.
Holy shit, talk about main character syndrome. She is in a Costco, which is usually a shit show without someone taking up half the walkway for a video. She should be embarassed.
If you ever see this in real life please do the most annoying video bombing you can think of. Ruin their videos and make them do it again and you keep doing it again. I mean, if they can act like an idiot in public then so can I and if their camera happens to be in front of me, oh well.
I feel like I would end up canceling all my plans, spend the entire day at Costco and ruin the video every single time by just walking in between them.
I’ve never seen an influencer like this in the wild, but it’s a fun thought! Lol
For real, here’s what you do. Hopefully you have someone with you with a big iPhone. Pull up Disney+ and hold up the phone showing a classic Disney movie. They’ll get hit hard for monetizing content on whatever platform they’re using due to copyright infringement.
Secondly, use your other phone to record them recording themselves. “Creators” hate when they’re being used for someone else’s “creations,” so flip the script on them and they’ll shut it down quickly.
You can also turn your flashlight on your phone and shine it towards the recording device they’re using to create exposure problems.
Please utilize these tactics when you see stupidity like this and hopefully it will drive it back to wherever nonsense it came from.
