1 | '''It varies a bit, but common signs of the potty dance -- sitting, lying down, or standing -- include:''' |
2 | ---- |
3 | * Putting one's hands on one's genitals, or grabbing the clothes near them (especially if the person in question is wearing a skirt). Looks different from masturbation as they are not usually acting lusty or enjoying it. People may also do this if they are the victims of (or [[ShareTheMalePain seen someone receive]]) a GroinAttack. Justified, since this may prevent pee from flowing out and thus prevent PottyFailure. If they need to go number 2, they may clutch at their backside. |
4 | * Moaning, whimpering, and/or stammering. However, by itself, this is not a potty dance and likely just means they are nervous. |
5 | * Pursed lips or clenching teeth. Ditto. |
6 | * Teary eyes (can also mean they are sad, [[TearsOfJoy very happy]], or just have something in their eyes). |
7 | * Bending down a bit, especially forward. |
8 | * Acting distracted. Obviously doesn't apply if they already have AttentionDeficitOohShiny. The reason for this in RealLife is because they are distracted by the PottyEmergency. |
9 | * Swaying one's hips. However some people do this with regular dancing, so watch out for other signs, too. |
10 | * Putting one's feet apart and knees together, or just crossing the legs. |
11 | * Jumping from foot to foot or up and down, however [[LovableCoward more]] [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] characters might do that when they are just worried, and more goofy/happy characters might do that because they are happy. |
12 | * Worried or overly serious expression (which may also include squeezing eyes shut). Could also be a sign of anxiety. |
13 | * Turning red/blue in the face, which is also a sign of anxiety, embarrassment, or [[SickEpisode fever]]. |
14 | * Sweating (Ditto). |
15 | * Inability to be still; fidgeting, bouncing, and/or shaking. |
16 | * Erratic walking pattern(s). |
