Shouting at me in the supermarket

[FrankieAnne]

Sorry am on phone so apologies if this makes no sense but he was doing t-Rex in Asda so i slapped his arm (not hard obviously) and he got really cross and said he'd stand however he wants and stormed off. It was really embarrassing as loads of people were staring and he'd told me to remind him anyway! He's acting like nothing has happened now. Aibu to not just let it drop?

Scrolling through the comments and I’m in stitches!! Thanks for making me laugh after a shitty morning 😂

How do you stand like a T. rex?? Am I missing something??

You should’ve made an owl noise in his face to get him to stop

Starts this shit then posts sorry I can't stand around chatting all day

Zombie thread? @HopeMumsnet

Really unfair , with those lil hands they can't fight back

I know this is a beloved classic thread but the hilarity has always been lost on me because "t-rexing" is completely standard in the neurodivergent community so the OP makes total sense to me. My friends and I are in agreement that t-rex arms are 1. the comfiest way to stand, and 2. the quickest way to spot a fellow ND person

If I don't stand like a t-rex, I feel uncomfortably aware of my arms and I have no idea where neurotypicals put theirs

I don't think the phone is the issue here...

Are you drunk? Because that would explain a lot.

@amusedbush it's always a bad night's sleep when I can't remember where my arms go.

I really do not follow this thread.

I love this surreal thread!

This thread is hilarious, as is the owl hooting woman earlier in the week!
Honestly, these people if someone made owl noises in my face in work to shut me up I would not know what to do other than burst out laughing!

Did anyone ever tell OP that it's Tobey McGuire, not Tony?

@FrankieAnne

Not to stand like one

What and who are you talking about?

This is like Facebook where people post for attention.

I should know better...

@LaurieFairyCake

Did you hit him cos you were in Asda

To be fair you would fit right in ....

Laughed the first time round,laughing even more now 🤣

Just thought I remembered this story, and realised it's a classic

@Travelbug2

First owl noises now a T-Rex.

What’s next…..

no not now a T Rex 9 and a half years ago a T Rex. How and why did you resurrect such an thread such old thread @CallMeDaphne?

Oops typo

T-Rex-ing is what some neurodivergent people call the way they hold their arms and hands.

Was he riding a white swan at the time?
