A quick Walmart run in Alabama turned into a moment of pure empowerment after one woman decided she wasn’t about to let a stranger get away with making crude, objectifying comments about her body. Instead of brushing it off or shrinking away, she did the exact opposite, and the moment is now sparking a wave of support on TikTok.
The viral video, posted by @obvio_anais, opens with the Alabama shopper speed-walking through her local Walmart aisles, phone in hand, clearly determined to track somebody down. Across the screen, she wrote a message that sets the tone immediately: “ATTENTION!!! Don’t run away from them. Make them run away from you.” And honestly, that’s a mantra every woman could probably get behind.
According to the caption on her TikTok post, the situation started when she noticed a man approaching her in one aisle. Out of nowhere, he made a “Oooh Mmmmm” sound, immediately making her uncomfortable. She rolled her eyes and kept moving, but the guy apparently didn’t get the hint.
Alabama Woman Shames Walmart Man Who Made Offensive Comments Toward Her
Things escalated in the kitchen aisle, where she was crouched down looking at placemats. That’s when he walked past again and allegedly said, “YOU HAVE A NICE [expletive],” flashing what she described as a creepy, shameless smile. That was the moment everything changed.
Instead of ignoring it, the Alabama woman got up, started recording, and went looking for him. She wasn’t about to let him wander around the store thinking he could talk to women like that without consequences.
When she finally found him, she confronted him directly and asked him to repeat what he’d said. He suddenly grew quiet and tried to claim he had been talking on the phone. She wasn’t buying it.
Pointing her camera at him, she told him exactly what she thought: “You’re a [expletive] perv. Don’t you ever [expletive] say that again, do you understand?”
You Go, Girl!
And just like that, the bold Alabama shopper flipped the script. The man who made the crude comment couldn’t get away from her fast enough.
The video resonated with viewers who admired her courage. Shopping in peace should be a basic expectation, not a luxury. Yet situations like this are all too familiar for a lot of women, which is why seeing someone actually stand up to the behavior, especially in a public, everyday place like Walmart, hits differently.
“He had no issue making you uncomfortable, you just gave him the energy right back, good for you!” one person commented. “I hope his wife sees this,” another said. “Yes!!! Get loud ladies,” a third person chimed in. “You go, girl!” a fourth comment read.
The Alabama woman’s message was clear. Women don’t have to quietly endure harassment. If someone makes you uncomfortable, you’re allowed to call them out. Loudly.
