Do people still stamp their feet in anger?

Stamp both feet every Tuesday morning but its during my exercise class. Makes a great sound 8-15 people stamping their feet in time. Can be hard on the old knees 🤣.

A colleague of mine was a stamper while ranting at the same time.

I’ve seen children do it in Reception or Y1. A sort if repeated stamping -a bit like running on the spot but more forceful.
By year 2 they’d usually graduated to throwing things and screaming.

Its like a safety valve going off, does no harm to anyone and isn't even a tantrum, so stamp away!

I'm a stamper, much, to my shame!
This mostly occurs when I'm rangeling with Mr Ilovedogs.
He is soo big-headed and a show-off
to-boot. He makes me behave like Beryl the peril. Its horribly embarrassing for our poor family too, they just roll their eyes and pretend we're strangers.
Whatever! 😉

I stamp my foot in frustration, usually to do with technology.
It is safer than throwing the handset at the television.

Don’t remember ever stamping my feet or see anyone do it apart from Violet Elizabeth

I'm pretty sure it's a response to that kind of thing, tabbie.
That not being heard feeling.

I am sure my kids sang a rhyme If you're happy and you know it stamp your feet.
But I also remember doing it myself in anger if asked to say sorry when I knew I was right.

I do it.... I stamp my foot and I shout a minced swear at the same time e.g. Oh Fish!

I have only seen this when people are totally out of control on drinks and drugs.

Also seen children stamping their feet when playing up their parents in Supermarkets.

Re-reading Agatha Christie, I cannot help noticing some of the changes that have occurred in our daily lives, since she wrote her first books.

One small detail: a nicely brought up young girl actually stamps her foot upon being annoyed by something said to her.

This made me wonder, if anyone actually does this any more?

To the best of my knowledge and belief I have never seen anyone do so (apart perhaps from two year olds in tantrums).

I have certainly never dared do it, after being reproved at the age of four or five by my mother, who said, "Don't stamp your foot at me, young woman!" in a tone of voice that clearly warned me that the next time I did so, I would be sent to bed without my dinner!

So, the question is, does anyone actually do this now, or would it be totally unacceptable adult behaviour?

I have a cousin with the worst spoiled brat of a daughter imaginable who frequently had stampy foot histrionic fits when she didn’t get her own way

Difficult to stamp feet with arthritis! Only ever seen a toddler do that when having a tantrum.

My husband's ex-wife does. It makes me chuckle quietly to myself!

I'm just reminded now about bulls, when they're about to charge - that pawing of the ground.
Is it even cslled pawing when yheu don't have paws?

I didn't know that.
Its quite interesting how some animal traits resurface in humans.

I wondet if its to do with trying to sound big and strong against an opponent?
Chimps do a lot of that posturing.

A bit like a "my dad's bigger thsn yours".

Sheep stamp their hooves when annoyed

I saw a middle-aged woman do it on a railway station in North China in the 1960s. In fact she did it to me. Back then I spoke reasonable Mandarin, and when the train stopped at a station with an announcement that there would be a ten minute wait, I got off the train in order to walk around and stretch my legs. A uniformed woman came up and spoke to me in a rather officious tone. Clearly it was a highly locally accented version of Mandarin but I could not understand it at all. I replied in Mandarin and she could understand me perfectly but it was a one-way communication street. A small crowd gathered, watching and listening. They could clearly understand us both and they began to laugh. The woman was losing face, a really bad thing in the culture. She tried again, I repeated that I still could not understand her. She then stamped her foot heavily a few times and then marched off fuming. Now and then I wonder what she wanted!

I think young people slam doors nowadays or write something offensive online!😳

When I was young my dad told me I was called Paddy for stamping my feet
I can't remember it's so long ago.but ihaven't heard anything about this happening nowadays

I once saw a friend stamp twice while walking. She was genuinely annoyed with herself for something she'd just realised she got wrong, but laughed too.

My Yorkie did. Right little madam she was.

It's a bit like a yawn.
No control over it - it just happens. I think mine was because I felt nobody was listening to me.

I didn't do it as a child, or my mum would have given me what for!

Yes, I do, but only in mock anger.

I have been a foot stamper and continue to be, but have less reason to do so these days. Sometimes when there is no other option and I have had to accept what is happening, it IS therapeutic. I am reminded of dogs...they shake themselves after a dramatic encounter or sometimes after a lot of love...they need to return their bodies to a state of emotional neutrality and it helps to let it out physically instead of keeping it hidden in our cells somewhere. Try it and see...
