Dance of the Thrifts

'Bargain Shuffle' 

You're walking down the aisle, and yes, because they are not ever big enough for two people to walk side by side comfortably, you need to somehow, telepathically, communicate: "okay, I'm going to go to the left now, and you can walk to the right" ..Sometimes it doesn't work out that well and you have to squish flat up to the racks and shelves and shimmy your way past. Not very elegantly i might add. Some of the following may happen, but if you are standing in the middle of the lane, you may as well be wearing a giant sign that reads, "Please ram into me with your cart." Seriously. 

'Slide'n'Shimmy' 

That awkward moment when you're fieling through all the clothing and you are coming up to another shopper. You are both advancing with immense vigorousness, and show no signs of folding. One of you needs to step back and let the other pass. You have two choices, you can either stand your ground and be firm in your nit-picking, Or you can step back and mumble something in regards of 'oh, haha sorry ill go over here.' You step back and either move on right away or, silently busy yourself along the other side of the shopper and slide back on over to where you left off. Its your choice.

I usually fold. 

'Silent Killer' 

This one, while not really being a dance per say, but more of a trot on the spot. 

You see something you want. You need it. You MUST have it. The only problem, its in someone else's hands. You silently circle the aisle, while keeping your eyes set solely on your item of choice. the shopper hums and hah's over this item, begins to walk around a few more aisles; of course you follow. Then, when push comes to shove, when all else is looking dark, a small light shines in the distance, could it be? is this really happening? Is this real life? THEY PUT IT DOWN! - you rush to collect your treasures. Success! 

Happy Thrifting!
