maybe she needed to pee - I tend to jump about and wriggle alot!

I saw a man with a massive erection in his tracky bottoms once in Sainsburys. That was not a pretty sight!

Are you on the right thread there, Dexter?

Skinit · 07/04/2011 15:57

Wtf have her thighs to do with anything?

dexter73 · 07/04/2011 16:05

You need to read further up Butterbur.

I remember popping into Boots just after my eldest was born (first trip out) while my mum waited outside with the pram. I was waiting to pay and suddenly realised I was rocking and patting a giant pack of sanitary towels

It's the bleach in the highlighting solution, it has got into her brain!

jeckadeck · 07/04/2011 17:24

could have been on some sort of opiate. It sounds to me like you must have a very quiet life though, if you're exercised about this.

noddyholder · 07/04/2011 17:29

It is the heavy thighs with converse centre of gravity right off

KurriKurri · 07/04/2011 17:40

Are you sure it wasn't you who was swaying OP?

KeepCalmAndCurryOn · 07/04/2011 18:03

Earthquake?

delicatequestion · 07/04/2011 19:06

ghost code we all in the matrix

kaid100 · 07/04/2011 20:20

Unless her swaying meant she was knocking into people or getting in people's way, I don't think it's a problem. A bit unusual, certainly, but life would be boring if we were all the same.

NorbertDentressangle · 07/04/2011 20:26

Maybe she was trying to ensure a more even wear and tear on the soles of her Converse.

I expect those hefty thighs play havoc on the tread otherwise.

trixymalixy · 07/04/2011 20:29

I used to find myself swaying absentmindedly after having children. I thinky bodys autopilot mode was sway as if you are holding a baby. Don't think I do it anymore thankfully.

Maybe she was a new form of weeble (that wobbles but doesn't fall down)? Would that fit with the swaying movements?

at thread, except I need to go and find an inhaler as I've laughed so much I'm now wheezing (hayfever season - argh!). Even the mention of 'heavy thighs' is making me laugh hysterically again.

delicatequestion · 07/04/2011 23:23

oH LEELOO jhope you ok, but yes weeble very funny

GreenEyesandHam · 07/04/2011 23:27

I sway, I can't help it. I have de music in me.

It's even worse if the rhumba rhythm starts to play....
