We're really kind of a ridiculous animal when you think about it.

I used to notice this myself and get paranoid about how ridiculous my arm swinging motion was. Then I realized that no one else notices and you look more ridiculous not letting them naturally follow their plane of motion.
And yes, we're ridiculous. I find it so painfully obvious to see our actions don't separate us from other animals that much by just observing human behavior throughout the day.
