Flash mob: "a large public gathering at which people perform an unusual or seemingly random act and then disperse"

I've never witnessed it, luckily, but a "news" article recently on one of my local news websites said that one had been performed in a grocery store, where one woman started singing and the rest of the 'singers' joined the singing.

All of the comments below were basically "Oh wow, how wonderful" etc., etc.

I honestly think I would have absolutely loathed it.

Oh and please give me honest replies on this thread of mine: viewtopic.php?t=272134

As if grocery shopping wasn't stressful enough, a bunch of people just suddenly turn it into a musical? 8O

Never experienced one, but I can't imagine they'd bother me at all. In fact, if I knew what they were singing, I'd probably join in. :D

I've actually witnessed a flash mob at a mall before. I personally thought it was freaking HILARIOUS... especially considering the song of choice(C'Mon Feel the Noise by Quiet Riot).

The only thing that bothers me about flash mobs is that none of the women has ever flashed me.

I would hate it. People randomly singing pisses me off and I don't know why. I wouldn't mind instrument playing so much as long as they weren't soft, such as flutes or recorders. -.-'

Do guys flash you?

If so, that's probably because you forgot to turn the flash off of your camera when recording the Football, whenever it was that you did that.

The closest thing to a flash mob I have experienced would be moshing at a concert and I don't enjoy that at all. I suspect I would enjoy a flash mob even less since I would not know to expect it.
