The Clog from OzPushing Your Luck, Lying Down on the Job, Bending Over Backwards...

“Too many people confine their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running off at the mouth, stretching the truth, bending over backwards, lying down on the job, side stepping responsibility, swimming against the current and pushing their luck.” Anonymous
I agree with anonymous. Too many people are constricting their exercise regimes to just acting out these idioms. My elder sister is a fan of jumping to conclusions. If something of hers is out of place she has a habit of bending her knees right down and shooting off so high into the air that she gets her head stuck in the ceiling! Or taking a more literal approach, she’ll run into my room and violently accuse me of using up all her moisturiser.
This same sister also has a habit of side stepping responsibility. As soon as we finish dinner… Brring Brring! Oh it’s her boyfriend on the phone, she better go and talk to him – leading to her lying down on the job. Too bad, I guess the rest of us are left with the washing up. My other sister and I have this theory that she tells her boyfriend when we'll finish dinner so she can innocently skip the washing up! Mum’s caught on about this now, so no doubt she’ll soon stop pushing her luck.
