All term I have railed against the flossing antics of my class. The little sods have flossed down the corridor in front of Ofsted, flossed in assembly in front of the director of education and flossed repeatedly in the lunch queue.
They had tried to teach me and I valiantly tried to learn. I couldn't do it until Thursday... the penultimate day of term.
I can now proper floss and quite quickly. I am keeping up my new skills by flossing up a storm. I actually don't think I have control over it.
No one was in the Morrisons frozen bit when I had a little floss - my hips just seized the moment and I went with it.
I know AIBVVVVVVVVU.

I’m on holiday in skegness and literally everywhere you turn is people flossing, waiting in the queue, they are flossing. We were waiting in the queue for something the other day and several kids were flossing so the entertainer guy made up a song. My son finally worked out how to do it and was doing it whilst in Morrisons, my dd tries but can’t do it, I can but not very fast.

Someone (an adult) was flossing in the park at lunchtime today with their headphones in

They may have forgotten there was an audience.

DS taught me to floss. Though he said I have a unique 'style'. Must be the fact I can't swing my arms across my body 'cos of my huge norks.

I'm jealous of these easy swinging flossers.

My 8 yo taught me to floss, I'm rather good at it I admit. He was totally made up when I showed his friends my moves. I'm sure I'll be embarrassing to him in the near future though.
Go you, OP, for doing it in the supermarket.

My 6 year old taught me how to floss, it took a while but it clicked finally and now he’s embarrassed by me. Ha.

YANBU. I spent ages telling DS to stop flossing, then he taught me and now I can’t stop. Also see ‘fresh’ which I am amazing at Grin

I have just flossed straight into a man in the corridor.Blush was reading this thread whilst eating lunch....was inspired.

Swinging my arms in a floss-esque style on the way to the loo and he got clobbered as he came round the corner - not sure who was more surprized! He even apologised.

Better stick to finance reports.

You must do it if you see any of your pupils over the holidays.

That's fab Sparkling I feel even more upskilled and accomplished after watching Kaye and Nadia.
After the initial agony, I am sure the synovial fluid flowing again - it's been a while.

😂😂😂 that’s brilliant OP. My older kids have been trying to teach the 4yo to floss for weeks but he really couldn’t get the hang of it. He finally got it yesterday and he didn’t want to stop in case he couldn’t start again!

I thought it referred to teeth flossing too!

Have now Googled and seen it's that stupid dance 'backpack kid' did to a Katy Perry song.

(that scabby little shit shot a goat in the eye btw)

I can only floss when not sober. Then it just comes naturally!

It originated with The Backpack Kid

I wondered why you wanted to clean your teeth in a supermarket when I saw the thread title!

They wanted to floss when we had an audience with Sir David Attenborough. I said no. Regret that in retrospect.

I flossed at work. I am normally the grown up so got some funny looks!

And I like to think a moment of being impressed from the...ahem...younger members of the team.
