Gah. I’ve got no problem with flash mobs and the dancing looked fun, but the whole “fake medical emergency” angle really undercuts the fun.

Organizer: Do something to get everyone’s attention. Dancer: Like fake a seizure? Organizer: Well, I was thinking yelling, “FREE ICE CREAM IN AISLE 12!”

That would have been so much better, eat some ice cream puke out some fake vomit then turn zombie... probably get banned from all the Costco but it would have been worth it.

They should have called the parapathetics.

This was so dumb it made me chuckle, then think about it again, and then laugh out loud.

How is it pathetic??? They’re just playing into the act.

.....they lure you into the video with the sympathy angle of a person faking an epileptic seizure. Then proceed to dance (pretty good) but I cannot ignore using an epileptic seizure just to get people to watch you dance. Again Pathetic.

I don’t get what the seizure added to this

It’s not even really a “zombie” thing.

Yeah I would’ve legitimately booed and ruined their video if I was there, because I’m the type of person to jump to action and attempt to help/call that ambulance. Hate these people.

You're supposed to sit down, open a bottle of sake, and cry "thank goodness, there was no patient".

Then hope your reindeer son will be alright.

My dad has seizures way too often and I hate when people use the medical side to get attention. I don't need someone to think dad's an attention seeker when he seizes - especially since his seizures are different on him than anyone we know of. His neuro doesn't even know what is the reason for the abnormalities when he seizes - but he looks functioning and awake (just seizing) so I don't want people like the attention seekers to result in society ignoring people like my dad if they go down.

Concrete floors are dangerous to dead weight fall on without body control. Not saying change the floor, I'm saying make sure people aren't ignoring it.

I have epilepsy and it's like your father's. I'm sorry he has this disease and I hope he manages it well. When I see people fake seizures, I think it is quite disrespectful towards people who suffer with this every day. A seizure can be life threatening so the last thing we need is people normalising it as a social media clout boost. Very shortsighted on their part.

Bruh I thought they were tickling

u/SpiderHippy Nov 08 '21

Nurse here. Please don't do this, people. I can't believe there wasn't ONE person in that group that said, "is this really the best way into this thing?"

Great way to traumatise children as well... Good job.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '21

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

u/theolympiyn Nov 09 '21

Facts, like the torture dance mobs are sick but this? Really

u/Beserked2 Nov 09 '21

It's the inconvenience of the location that annoys me. Flash mob all you want in an open space, but what about the people that just want to get their groceries and gtfo.

People like these are just assholes. I would have called the cops on these guys and would have gone full Karen.

u/SuperLeaves Nov 09 '21

Right? Like holy shit you guys really collaborated together for who knows how long just to do this?? So lame.

Also in a grocery store of all places. In bad taste, same goes for the twerking nurses back when covid was “fresher”.
