Maybe she forgot she wasn't holding her baby?

Not that I've ever been observed to rock my shopping trolley, to stop the wine cereal getting fretful, oh no.

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:19

iirc mental health workeer ocne told me backwards and forwards swaying toe to heel was symptom of some anti depressive meds

but no this was semi dancing swaying

She was just doing it to piss you off obviously!

What are converse highlights? I find myself swaying now and then and stop when I realise that dd2 is at home Blush

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:20

Oh, I did that with my shopping trolley, too! Grin

As for the swaying woman, as long as she's not making you giddy, there's nothing you can say about it, because that would be rather mean-spirited. Sorry.

Post offices are so depressing normally that I expect her choices are 'swaying' or 'choking sobs'...

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:21

i think i need a sentence to stop swaying

" do you zumba?" maybe

Have you got PMT? This sort of thing annoys me when I have PMT. People eating loudly also gets me incredibly annoyed.

CurrySpice · 07/04/2011 13:21

I don't sway but I have been known to excitedly point out tractors / horses / baa lambs to an empty car Blush

chickenpieface · 07/04/2011 13:22

I thought it was a new hairdressing method that sounded interesting to me Blush shows what I know about style and beauty!

Was she also clenching her teeth? Could it have been a new pelvic floor thing going on?

cloudydays · 07/04/2011 13:23

what do her highlights or "heavy thighs" have to do with anything? Confused

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:24

to give a picture of the sitatuiom

LOLO at pelvic floors

VinegarTits · 07/04/2011 13:24

late 30's jeans and converse, was she trying to be 'down wid da kids?' and practicing her rap in her head

MrsRhettButler · 07/04/2011 13:25

yanbu there is a woman in the playground at school who does this, its a sort of sway and rock the buggy movement. but what really annoys mew is that she carries on doing it after the toddler has got out of the buggy! she does it all the time btw so i have a right to be annoyed

Bucharest · 07/04/2011 13:25

Was she Thai?
Did she have ping pong balls about her person?

Honeybee79 · 07/04/2011 13:25

What's wrong with converse or highlights? I have both! And "heavy thighs". Confused.

I sway if I've got DS in a swing and I'm stood in a queue. I did it the other day when I forgot that I, erm, didn't have DS with me.

MrsRhettButler · 07/04/2011 13:26

Grin curry

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:26

i think we need to stop these swayers.
the baby argument holds no dice

I sometimes push a pushchair that's not there. Not hurting anyone though, am I?

Butterbur · 07/04/2011 13:28

Were you in the Post Office, Honeybee?

VinegarTits · 07/04/2011 13:28

i think we need to stop these heavy thighed people wearing converse, its not a good look

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 13:29
