The mother of one of the kids in my DS's (Y2) class seems to be pathologically anxious about something, and almost literally every drop-off and pick-up, she completely monopolises the teacher's attention (drop-offs and pick-ups are from the classroom door).
She gets there early, plants herself physically across the door frame, and starts wittering on to the teacher about her DD. I try not not to eavesdrop, so I don't know whether her concerns are serious, but surely if you had that much to say to the class teacher you'd make a bloody regular appointment?
My DS stood out in the pouring rain this morning because he physically couldn't get past her to get into the classroom. I shoved him in in the end but she still didn't bloody notice/apologise.
I've stood there for up to 10 minutes in the past, waiting for my opportunity to ask the teacher a 'yes/no' question that was only going to take 15 seconds.
This woman's lack of self-awareness is making me want to do unpleasant things.
