Floor People

About

Origin

On July 28th, 2020, TikToker @machosacho shared the video in which they describe types of people, such as "car guys," horse girls" and "Disney adults," but says that people ignore "floor people." The narrator says, "Floor people are the people who you offer a chair to or a nice place to sit, comfy couch, and they refuse. They just sit on the floor."
