People who hog the dance floor drive me mad!

[PigeonPair]

Went to a 50th party on Saturday night. Why is there always one middle-aged show-off who (believing himself to have the dance skills of, say, James Jordan), starts throwing his wife around the dancefloor ceroc-style. Usually he has no idea what he is doing, and said woman is a bit pissed and only staying up from the momentum of his flinging! I was trying to throw my own shapes and kept getting bumped into and toes trodden on. I stomped off in the end in a sulk.

"throw my own shapes" Really?

yabu for talking like that you freakshow

Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.

You were perfectly reasonable - until you started throwing shapes, yourself.

Big fish, little fish, cardboard box.

The existence of that abomination is worthy of an AIBU in its own right.

dickhead and i are like this

Circle, circle - square, square

OP you sound very young

Was trying to be funny with "throwing my own shapes - very 70's. Made me laugh first time I heard someone say it in jest!

are we?

I do this. I can't dance in a small area or I get dizzy and fall over. So I take off around the dance floor. On my own. I look demented.

Oh ChristFENTON - am 38. But I DO like my own space on the dancefloor!

@Lueji. Why would I be jealous?! I am full of admiration for people who can do all that stuff properly. Just hate nearly being knocked off my heels when I am already wobbly on them.

38?

In old money you are middle-aged, there were probably some youngsters there at your shape throwing you know.

I am 40 btw therefore allowed to say that.

You should have challenged them to a dance off!

Ha! Ironically, I was probably the youngest as it was a 50th!

That would be me and my other half then

Who is James Jordan????

OMG, I'm such a crap dancer these days, that anyone 'throwing shapes' is interesting. DP is was a really good dancer (apart from when he does the 'Dad Dance' to embarrass his, now adult, DC)
