Maybe she's a hula champion and was practicing her moves for a big competition....

vintageteacups · 07/04/2011 14:04

She could have a bad back. Swaying can help relax it a bit.

AliSheedy · 07/04/2011 14:05

Were the considerable thighs topped with a considerable tum? Could she have been up duffed and in the early stages of labour?

Labouring in tight jeans, though...

VivaLeBeaver · 07/04/2011 14:05

Maybe her heavy thights were overbalancing her?

scampadoodle · 07/04/2011 14:05

Hell is other people... I was in a q the other day and a woman was standing really close behind me. I moved forward - she did too! Aargh! I had to slightly step out of the line because otherwise I. would. have. had. to. say SOMETHING.

ShoutyHamster · 07/04/2011 14:08

'Stop it! Keep still! Yes, you there with the thighs'

Haha Grin

MorticiaAddams · 07/04/2011 14:11

Perhaps her legs or back ache if she stands still too long, mine do.

Bucharest · 07/04/2011 14:16

Nope to all of these. I've just had a sway whilst waiting for the kettle, and I can confirm needing to wee movements are a sort of half hop vertically, not a left-right sway. A back ache movement is more of a stretch (again vertically) and surely hula hooping would be circular.

No, am still going for her having ping pong balls in her pants.

MikeRotch · 07/04/2011 14:16

maybe the heavey legs are at the root cause of the swaying

I am heavy thighed, if I don't sway like a pendulum they stick together.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 07/04/2011 14:21

YANBU I used to work with someone who would sway constantly. If I was talking to her on the shop floor I would find myself swaying along with her! She even set off my morning sickness.

Deliainthemaking · 07/04/2011 14:24

you need to open a new post office for people who abhor impromptu swaying and heavy thighs

fluffygal · 07/04/2011 14:44

If I stand still too long I feel faint, swaying helps.

WhipMeIndiana · 07/04/2011 14:49

is it some form of training for the olympics? or the royal wedding?

WhipMeIndiana · 07/04/2011 14:50

I agree it is best to keep heavy thighs in motion at all times.

dexter73 · 07/04/2011 14:55

At least you don't get Men with Erections in the Post Office!

delicatequestion · 07/04/2011 14:58

Maybe she was on drugs, hard illegal drugs that would explain the swaying and converse's.

Maybe she is so up herself that she is better than everyone else to not have to conform to q quietly and orderly. 'And I am so happy and happy that I can be annoying q and am gonna stick in your face'

This would have done my head in very much, it is thinking about it.
Take umbrdige at heavy thighs hmmm... definately have a few issues today!

delicatequestion · 07/04/2011 14:59

Now dexter that I wouldnt compain about! (providing I was on my own, no children around and I found them attractive)

MG it offcial i am a bored housewife. Grin

Maybe she was avoiding a wasp.

delicatequestion · 07/04/2011 15:06

Maybe she has overdosed on zumba

OliPolly · 07/04/2011 15:35

maybe she loves swaying and was doing it on purpose Hmm

LaurieFairyCake · 07/04/2011 15:37

I sometimes dance a bit in the supermarket if the toons are good

Dd is not impressed if I do that

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 07/04/2011 15:38

Maybe it is to distract herself from the smell of the unwashed.

Bucharest · 07/04/2011 15:38

Dexter.....you clearly don't go to the right kind of PO. Grin
