I observed a woman doing this while in line at the grocery store recently. First she'd do it with her left foot and shoe and then, after she was finished, she started with the right one. The lady behind me commented: "Is she nervous or something?" And I just shrugged and said: "Could be." This involves either consciously or subconsciously slipping your feet in and out of your shoes while standing in line, sitting down at a table at the food court or library, leaning against a counter, etc. This is called "dipping". "Dangling" means to let your shoe slide off of your foot partially while seated while 'nervously' shaking your foot up and down.
Is this really a nervous thing for you? Conscious or subconscious? Or are you just so bored with standing in long lines that you just have to do something?

I'd have to agree with Puzzled, sounds like her feet were sore. A lot of women have problems with their feet because they wear the wrong type of shoes all the time.

I do it a lot. And it is just something.. Not nervousness or anything like that! Why would that even be a bother? It's pointless to notice things like that..

Maybe she had sore feet from standing and was trying to get relief for a moment!

I like to be annoying ... in long lines I do fidgit. This fidgiting gets transfered to the person in frount of me ... they pass it to the ppl in frount of them ... and so forth.
Shoe thing ... well, sometimes food ate like sushi (soy sauce) causes bloating, and the shoes start to hurt. Or, sometimes it's a flirt tacktic ... or sometimes, it just amuses me. I wouldn't call it nervous ... but entertaining.

Sometimes I do that, but it's for foot relief, not because I'm nervous or bored.
