If someone asked you to, would you dance in the middle of a grocery aisle?

Asked by Allie (17541points) January 21st, 2009

Pretty self explanatory, I think.

My answer: Yes, I believe I would, especially if there was some snazzy elevator music playing over the speaker system.

I’ve done it without the prompting.
Or rather, despite the pleas for me to stop.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

Depends on if it was an attractive female or not.. cuz that changes my wife’s answer/permission.

tennesseejac's avatar

It depends on which aisle. but, yeah. If asked I would dance almost anywhere.

tinyfaery's avatar

Sure. I do it at work all the time.

IF YOU SEE ME DANCING ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME KNOCK ME OUT AND GET ME HOME

I’m in a blackout

forestGeek's avatar

For sure. And I hate dancing! I’d try anything at least once.

emilyrose's avatar

I’m like Nimis. I love to dance in the grocery store.

I danced with a girl in the lobby of a movie theater once.

So yes. I’m not a great dancer, but I’d do it nonetheless.

Would money be involved?

tennesseejac's avatar

@chyna depending on how good of a dancer you are or if you were blocking the HNCherrios I would probably pay you to stop

Allie's avatar

@chyna Not that kind of dancing. Save that for the bedroom.

scamp's avatar

I’ve done it even tho I’ve been asked not to, ha ha!! My poor daughter was so embarassed!!

Bri_L's avatar

Sure would. Life’s to damn short.

fireside's avatar

What kind of dancing?
I might balk at something like the Roger Rabbit or the Mashed Potato, but otherwise I’d move to the music if there was any.

figbash's avatar

Yeah, no problem. I do it anyway, sometimes using choreography and cereal boxes. Other times it looks a little something like this!

Bluefreedom's avatar

Are you talking about a solo performance? If so, I would probably decline because I’m not a very good dancer. On the other hand, if it was dancing with a partner, I think it would be more comfortable in this regard because it’s easier, in my opinion. (Slow dancing)

I understand it might be with a total stranger which could be a little weird but it is just one dance right? And the whole spontaneity thing would be kind of cool.

Only if I was in the beer aisle, but it won’t be pretty…

Though it didn’t stop me from sashaying down the baking aisle in albertsons in 6 inch stiletos flawlessly.
It was Halloween… I think.

laureth's avatar

I have danced in a grocery aisle. Of course, I worked there at the time, and it was after hours.

KingMalefic's avatar

@Bluefreedom : What if you where slow dancing with the Kool Aid guy… OH YEAH!!

cordovanessa's avatar

Heck yeah do it all the time even without bieng asked you ever heard “dance like nobodys watching”

KingMalefic's avatar

@Bluefreedom : Now that I think about it I would probably dance with that pitcher of Kool Aid… Maybe involve some Everclear… Sing I’m a little teapot. And in no time I am sure we could get the pink elephants to do a number like the rockettes…

That would be bitchin’!

aprilsimnel's avatar

I’ve done it already of my own free will. I was grocery shopping and old song came on the speakers. I had to dance. I was with friends, so it was no big deal.

wundayatta's avatar

I would. What does that say about me?

Bluefreedom's avatar

@KingMalefic. Could I dance with the Chiquita Banana lady instead? She’s hot!

KingMalefic's avatar

@Bluefreedom : Sure just don’t let her get behind you… Those aren’t really bananas shes peddling… just saying…

SuperMouse's avatar

I absolutely would, I’m pretty sure I have! I am a lousy dancer but as Bri L pointed out, life’s too short not to dance whenever I have the chance! For the record, my dancing looks a little something like this, so you probably don’t want to be close by.

TheBox193's avatar

lol yeah… especially if I could dance.

Allie's avatar

@TheBox193 You could to the robot! ;]

KingMalefic's avatar

I would so request Domo Arigato! Mr. Roboto.

gimmedat's avatar

I have danced in the grocery store. I have been tackled onto the open freezer of a grocery store. I’ve been sung to over the paging system of a grocery store. I’ve been thrown out of a grocery store…more than once, and each time as the result of my husband trying to make me smile. Nothing ever melicious towards other shoppers, or too terribly disruptive (at least not beyond a minute). I always end up smiling, I really can’t help it.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@gimmedat. Did all this happen in the same grocery store? I would have paid good money to see all those events unfold. :o)

onesecondregrets's avatar

I don’t even have to be asked. It just happens. Then people walk away, acting like they don’t know me. :(.

augustlan's avatar

Absolutely. I have, and would again :)

gimmedat's avatar

Two or three different stores, I guess. One of the best times was when, in the midst of the busy weekend shopping, I heard over the intercom of the supermarket, “Cupcake face. I love you cupcake face. I’ll be your honey if you’ll be sweet.” When I heard it, I knew it was my hubby. I turned my cart around and went to see where he had comandeered a mic. On my way to the front of the store, I see him running from checkout to checkout with a very angry manager in hot pursuit. We weren’t welcome there for awhile.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@gimmedat. I’m picturing that in my head and getting a real kick out of it. Great story. LOL

gimmedat's avatar

Don’t encourage me, I could keep going. Really. And so could SuperMouse, she’s lived it, too.

SuperMouse's avatar

Why just yesterday as a matter of fact! You gotta love Acrazycouple.

Wine3213's avatar

I’ve done it many times. I’ve danced in a dining hall with a total stranger.

AstroChuck's avatar

Been there, done that. Usually while singing out loud as my family hides their faces in embarrassment.

Foolaholic's avatar

Yeah, I’ve videos of my friend and I dancing our way through Stop n’ Shop.

nebule's avatar

If someone had the balls to ask me i definitely would and would probably end up marrying him assuming it was a him

Bluefreedom's avatar

@lynneblundell. Wanna dance, cutie? :o) I’m a him too!

nebule's avatar

I’m speechless ;-)

augustlan's avatar

Took me a second to get that! Clever :)
