I feel like there is a weird energy on the world right now because of this virus stuff...if that makes any sense. I just get a weird vibe. I’m so thankful for these videos though. It’s a comfort because I’ve been feeling a little depressed over all this. It doesn’t even seem like real life. I cannot wait for this to be a thing of the past!

[@xVixenx]

Andrea Stover amen girl me too :( my anxiety is so bad from it all ugh

[@kellynicole5581]

i feel the same way! i’m less nervous about contracting the virus than i am about all the shutdowns and lockdown happening. it’s making my chronic anxiety worse than it already is. i’m just trying to remind myself we’re all in the same boat right now and it will be okay eventually 💗

[@yikes7607]

My thought exactly. I just want this to be over and things back to normal. But I won't take things for granted again and I will keep many good habits I have in place now moving forward that reduce waste both of food as well as redundant products of all kinds, etc. I have to admit that if there is one merit to this crisis is giving perspective.

[@Bjarkenb]

I feel it too. There is a tension in the air - Like a storm is coming. Everyone has the same weight in their gut, of a thing they know deep down to be true, but won't speak aloud... "The darkest days are still ahead - This is going to get worse."

[@kayisokay2253]

Bjarkenb this is exactly how I’m feeling. It’s a heavy weight on my shoulders, a looming feeling. Weirdly enough, before the lockdowns and my University locking down and sending students home, I had an intense foreboding. It was so strong that I started texting all my loved ones and telling them to be ready for what’s to come. We will all get through this, but we need to hang tight through the storm.

[@Scvye]

Well done to that cashier/manager to standing up to the madness. Some people are so selfish (it's the same here in Ireland). Frankly I am more stressed about this kind of behavior rather than the actual virus.

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

I forgot to mention what the guy said to the cashier about Walmart! He said, "Well, they don't have any limits on stuff at the Walmart!" Cashier: "Then go to Walmart and get your dog food!" Man: "I can't! They're sold out!" Cashier: "EXACTLY!"

[@HAVENWELLE]

I am glad stores are doing that. We need to conserve things so everyone can get what they need.

[@marissalagana9768]

I always sit here and try my hardest to figure out if these stories are real or if she’s making up stories as she goes along. 😂😩

[@vm88940]

You know I used to do that but eve since I started to paying attention to my neighbors I think that *hypothetically * her stories are 90% true lol

[@13crystalsister]

I completely believe her "hypothetical" neighbor stories! I've "hypothetically " had neighbors like that! And seen stuff like that in stores. Kudos to the store employee for her bravery! If she (Mary) wanted to fabricate stories, she would make one of her other "character" videos, don't you think so? At any rate, it doesn't matter, it's so funny.

[@defaultuser1447]

My neighbors are pretty dull by comparison. Then again, I'm pretty sure I'm the "weird neighbor" so there's that.

[@charliedays]

Exactly what I was thinking, but Mary is so much entertainment in the middle of this crisis!🤗

[@DayDreamingWhispersASMR]

Are these the stories she’s writing ? Lol

[@mudrickk]

As somebody who works at walmart right now in conover nc, I'll say its way better than a lot of other walmarts around. But telling people they can only get one water or one paper towel bundle is really wearing me down. They always give me an earful. I wish they could understand other people need what they're taking. Thanks for the theoretical updates, I look forward to your videos when i get home after an 8 hour shift.

[@13crystalsister]

Thank you for doing what you do to limit hoarding! I'm in NH, but it's the same up here. I came upon a large bottle of Germ-X on an end cap when I went shopping Thursday & felt like it was Christmas! I shared it w my friend, who brings me shopping or shops for me. ( I recently had a tumor removed from my spine, so when I can't get around, he's a great friend & shops for me.) I was talking to the cashier & she told me about the limits they have to impose. I don't envy you for what you have to do and I appreciate your service! Thank you & stay healthy!💚

[@RaidenRoach45]

I live in Tennesse and my stepson works at Wal-Mart here and it's crazy. Prayers for you guys.

[@irene.9454]

She said “ I am the manager 😂” even had me shook, happy she stood her ground

[@deltadawn916]

It’s sad that it takes a piece of paper saying you can’t have all of one certain thing at a store for people to not buy out an entire store. Like people, you aren’t the only person that needs that one thing.

[@kumaasmr3206]

“They look like fancy chickens” how are you so naturally funny lol you kill me 😂

[@GaarasGirlTamara]

A lot of these people are worried about being put on lockdown "like in Italy" but in Italy ONE person from the household can go out and get the groceries. Everyone is just losing their heads and being inconsiderate. I'm a college student who lives alone in a Studio apartment so I don't need much, and even I can't find enough to feed me. smh

[@xVixenx]

lowercase b it’s really sad how selfish people can be during this time :( stay safe!

[@Reldas]

Ohhhh I love “tea time” with Auntie Mary!! Spill it girl 😂

[@vuleification]

Your videos make me feel better in these times. My country is in a complete lockdown and thanks to you i can overcome this situation easier. I hope everything gets back to normal soon. Love you and take care Mary❤❤

[@davidestelle1836]

As a general manager, it is my favorite when they ask for a manager when they are already speaking to me. 😂

[@alexlin9565]

I still want to know what's up with dudes in trucks and the big hole.

[@BuriedTeeth]

Saaame i need an update, that sounded like a twilight zone episode! 😱

[@kerryschotten8516]

Hi! I live n California and yes we r on lock down. It seems all the celebrities r on Twitter, U tube or Instagram making donations, trying to make people laugh or trying to get people to just stay home. So the virus won’t spread. I also have seen a lot more people walking around the neighborhood. Now the whole families r walking together ( kids, dogs and both parents.) Everybody is waving to each other. To bad it takes a virus to get people to b nice to each other. Stay safe!

[@PaperAntlers222]

Kerry Schotten also the unfortunate part of an entire families going out together is putting others at risk. That’s why it’s important to only have one person go to the store and home. Walks if anything should be done solo. Not groups. Unfortunately that’s why Italy now has the military brought in because people just simply cannot stay in their homes. Another ASMR artist who lives in Italy, said the police will stop you if you even try to walk your dog. The reason why is because one person in your “group” can be sick walking around it lives for 3+ hours in the air. Unless you’ve been in your house for 3-4 weeks and haven’t left the house at all for a single thing and not seen anyone else you could also have it. I haven’t seen my family in a few weeks we are doing Skype calls/dates/dinners. Since it takes about 3 weeks sometimes for the virus to show up you put everyone at risk by not just staying home. It’s hard it’s not easy it fucking sucks but the longer people keep doing things the longer this whole thing lasts

[@janewwu1063]

I think some of the celebrities look a little cranky!

[@xVixenx]

Thank you for consistently uploading Mary I appreciate it so much. My anxiety has been off the charts for the past few weeks due to this virus nonsense in the news everywhere and I’m afraid to see my doctor until it all clears up. Your videos have helped my anxiety attacks decrease and helped me sleep even if it’s only for a few hours it means the world to me. Thank you so much 💙💙💙

[@kellynicole5581]

i work at trader joe’s and we recently put limits on certain food items. each customer can only get 1 case of water, 1 carton of eggs, 2 gallons of milk, only 4 fresh meat products, etc. some people are upset about it but we have to do this so everyone is able to get some of what they need. when all this panic first started people would hoard like 5 cases of water and 8 cartons of eggs and most of our stock was running out by 11am. it’s incredibly frustrating. there is no food shortage, but because so many people chose to panic buy and hoard, our warehouses began to run out of product. long story short, it’s rough being a retail worker right now, but thankfully most people are understanding and very appreciative that we’re still open. i hope you and everyone else are staying safe and healthy during this weird, scary time! ❤️✨

[@tr3839]

I can't tell you how much these videos are appreciated, especially now. It's nice to have some normalcy and something to look forward to.

[@beckyriddle6650]

The 18 yr old cashier at our local Ingles said she gets cussed because they’ve limited bread to 1 loaf per person. Poor girl just doing her job and has to deal with morons.

[@harloslater2371]

I like to imagine mary leaning out her window on high observation mode taking all this in lmao

[@hollyashbaugh8797]

With binoculars!

[@adammyers1182]

First lawn mow of the season 😀😂😀😂😀😂 Love your videos thank you very much💓💓💓

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

It's actually not. Due to the warm weather and rainy conditions, we've all been mowing pretty regularly since mid-February.

[@Zoey387]

You are the most entertaining part of these past few weeks

[@Jamesklimo]

Hearing Itchy And Scratchy Screaming Out Like Stray Cats Was Everything! Mary You Seriously Had me in Tears With Your Commentary. I Need More LOL

[@debbieheath7838]

YES!!! I've needed another one of these, I think we could all use this right now (I just got an Amber Alert, what's wrong with people?!) with the virus and all. My area isn't mandatory quarantined (a small rural place in Missouri), but I'm only going out for the Dr., food, meds, the essentials. I REALLY appreciate how many KZbinrs are going out of their way to make stress free entertainment for us right now!!! Hats off to all who are helping keep us fed, safe, healthy, and calm!!!! Thanks to you for the laughs and relaxation😂😇. Amanda Heath

[@janewwu1063]

Do you think your area will go on lockdown?

[@phoenixweaver9628]

Itchy, scratchy and boots- hilarious!

[@oreobunn]

I just ate some edibles and this video is the funniest thing I've seen in so long omggg 😭😂😂😂😂

[@alipockers7854]

Your neighborhood reminds me of the 80’s movie The ‘Burbs with Tom Hanks 😂😂

[@Sapphires1985]

No need to be angry at cashiers we are all in this together share the wealth.....i get in get what I need and get out..IAM kind and curtious to others and keep the shopping cart distance ...it's not hard to follow the rules...unfortunately in order to be a civilized society everyone needs to be understanding and not selfish🙄

[@JosDLM]

I cant imagine ever being bored in such a colorful theoretical neighborhood 😂 thanks for distracting us / relaxing us through all this ❤️

[@JosDLM]

A R yes exactly! A talented storyteller 😊

[@JustVaughn.]

You are such a breath of fresh air, thank you! Loved this installment of Hypothetical/ Alleged.

[@redvelvetcupcait]

I've always hated that "I like your hair." It always seems like it comes from the weirdest people at the weirdest times 😂 9 times out of 10 when I get that it's in some weird context and always seems creepy instead of a genuine compliment in a normal setting

[@amybarr3714]

Oh my lord, I sooo needed this video today!!! I've been struggling with the cold dreary days here in the north and this video had me roaring with laughter!! Thank you my dear!

[@laurengourley8211]

PLOT TWIST; all of these videos ARE actually hypocritical and not just “hypothetical” it’s all just an elaborate narrative 😂😂😂

[@williamdagger2552]

Ohh yes I love these. Hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe during this crazy time.

[@waytoBritish]

Love you Mary! Hope you and your family are staying safe ❤️

[@KinaBlurb]

You’re such a breath of fresh air in these trying, depressing times. I got so many laughs out of this. You are so pure and genuine, I love your videos ❤️

[@jessfromsheff9585]

They said on the news today that in the UK people have bought one billion pounds extra food than what they would normally at this point of the year which is ridiculous. I hope everyone here is staying safe though sending loads of love 💕

[@Mrsknightful]

You are THE BEST at telling stories. End of story, no one is better!

[@jemmapad]

I needed this! Thanks for still uploading through all the madness, Mary!

[@BabyBlue-um3li]

I love these videos! Could you please do more but whispering? ❤️❤️ Thank you hope you and your family are safe.

[@PussnBoot2516]

Your theoretical neighbourhood gossip brightens my day, Mary. I love those plates and such a bargain too. Stay safe and keep well everybody! Much love from Australia

[@YourLocalASMRProvider]

I always appreciate these videos, especially at times like this. Thanks for sharing the hypothetical update!

[@FaNbOyThEgReAt]

Thank you Mary, this video felt like we were sitting at the kitchen table have a chat. It was just what I needed :)

[@angelicavargas6637]

Yayyyy!!!!! So glad you made this!!! These hypothetical neighbor videos are my favorite!!!

[@Sportdiva7]

I saw so many people out roller blading, biking and running yesterday. It made me happy. We rode bikes to the convention center and did a workout at the convention center. We brought bands, jump ropes and ran up the stairs.

[@madisonqueen7742]

man, i needed this right now! i love these neighborhood updates. thank you for keeping us all entertained and laughing 😂

[@muaowa]

I look forward to these videos so much, your sarcastic humor is the best Mary!

[@inesamaral8932]

these are my favourite videos of yours, Mary!! I just love your ironic remarks and funny comments! Keep up the amazing work!! Love from Portugal!

[@chelsmarie981]

I was going to say maybe he was donating before you said the man went all “let me speak to the manager” 😑 We need more cashiers/managers like this woman in TX!

[@coralrobinson8741]

Thank you for continuing to make videos! It brings some normalcy into my daily routine!

[@RaidenRoach45]

No mowing here Mary it's been raining for what seems like weeks here in Middle Tennessee. Thank you for this it helps a lot of folks. Our church is not even able to have service's. Prayers to you and your family and everyone out there. ✌

[@butterbean3018]

Yay thank you so much for making a hypothetical neighborhood update!!! I love them!!!

[@kelsiejohnson6713]

I just watched a video of yours about your relationships and I was wondering how you were doing? Have you talked to the boy you loved but left him to go to school?

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

I'm doing fine and have not had contact with that person in many, many years. I have no desire to reconnect with him, as he made a complete mess of his life and I want no part of that.

[@kelsiejohnson6713]

SouthernASMR Sounds you are a very strong, wonderful women and I couldn’t imagine what you went through. Keep up the amazing videos! Your the best Mary. 💖

[@bluetech7753]

Hi there I am Sam I really love your asmr videos they are very soothing. I am glad that they put limits on products it stops the hoarders one thing I et upset about is when I see these hoarders reselling items on facebook or ebay at ridiculously high prices. there are so many others that have to do without essentials .

[@MyEndoJourney]

In these unknown times...ohhh, how I needed a hypothetical neighborhood update! I love these. "Spidey senses"! You are a comedic gem Mary! Thank you for being you & always making me laugh in hard times. 💕

Exactly what I needed in these hectic times. Thank you!!

Mary! The m.i.a parents and the cat litter detail - you certainly know how to gracefully plant seeds in the minds of true crime fans. I appreciate your finesse! Thanks for another fun video

[@valeriethomas1431]

This is the most amusing hypothetical neighbourhood update to date... Theoretically😉

[@ea532]

Hi Mary, I'm in California but nowhere near Hollywood. But it is a weird feeling out here, I've been in my house for almost two weeks now and only been out once or twice for supplies. There is an uneasy uncomfortable feeling when I had to go out, going to Walmart or Costco used to be fun but it's not anymore. I hate this and cannot wait for it all to go back to normal.Stay healthy and safe, thanks for the videos they really help me from going crazy.

[@garnetbelskamper5495]

You are precious. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us commoners.

[@healinginmotion8634]

My husband and I have a combined family of 9 kids and both of us adults ... we have found the restrictions so hard in aus.... the limit is per household... and it's a struggle. ....we go through at least 8 loaves of bread a week..... I did 7 stores in 2 days just for our week shop ... So if you see someone buying a lot.... maybe it's for a lot of people.

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

I seriously doubt that we have that many large families in my area. No, in my area, I guarantee you that 99% of the shortages are due to panicky, greedy, hoarding jerks.

[@Ljenn_86]

People get mad when KZbinrs repost stuff that's already available. You can find all of them in my "Store Walk-Throughs" playlist. There's a ton of them in there.

[@SouthernASMRSounds]

I already have people yelling at me for being out in public unnecessarily to make in-store videos...because they apparently didn't notice that the video they're watching was made a long time ago. 😒

[@cherylkimball1949]

@@SouthernASMRSounds Sorry, I didn't know that.

[@chelseamurphy9171]

I've been staying home and away from social situations since this started. I have been going for little walks each day though, around nighttime maybe 7ish, just to keep myself sane! I went to the supermarkets today to get some shopping, for the first time since last week. The health and safety procedures have been really maximised since then, and it gave me a lot of anxiety.. The queues were all the way down the street.. A lot of fridges were empty, and some people were awfully rowdy! To be honest if people stayed calm (I know it's difficult) and shopped as normal (stopped stockpiling!!) things would be much calmer 🙄 I hope this ends soon, I really miss social interactions yenno.. This is our 3rd week of this and we've next week left.. Nearly there from Ireland 🍀

You're so funny! Itchy & scratchy. They looked like chickens in their little robes & fluffy feather pumps! I can absolutely picture it. No wonder "Joe" was beating on his lawn mower. He couldn't exactly throw Itchy & Scratchy out in the road. You know "Tommy" wouldn't touch them! Even w "Judge Judy" presiding. Hell, she'd have stayed in her house! You're terrific! I talk to myself all the time too! Have regular old conversations w myself. I don't even worry about it. Anyways, just want you to know how much I enjoy your videos, although I don't often comment, but I get carried away when I do comment, so probably better that I don't do it often. Love your videos! Thank you for putting the humor in my days! Keep up the good work & watch out for "Bill".

[@cherokeek.watson524]

I'm glad they started putting limits on Items. I Wish they would have started that from the beginning. It pisses me off hearing people selfishly hoarding essentials. These same people doing all the hoarding would be pissed if the tables were turned. If we didn't have order there would be chaos, and that's the last thing we need. These selfish people need to have some consideration for others.
