...is sitting right next to me.
Have you ever been around someone who can't just sit still when seated? This person's leg is in constant shaking and tapping motion like they're listening to music with a crazy-fast beat to it (only they're not listening to anything at all)? This person always looks like they've got a lot to say and are thinking way too hard how to formulate a sentence. This person gets up an unnecessary amount of times to walk to the restroom.
This person? Yeah, we all know him or her and we want to tell them politely, to put the straw away and save the cocaine for another time when they're nowhere near us. At least that's me. Settle the fuck down and stop with the crazy leg action!
It could be some nervous behavior he has, but still. There was a day that I was walking out and as my feet were heading for the door, I was presented with an interview that I was not prepared for. Question after question and I fired back with my answers as fast as I could in order to escape. I had my keys in my hand and all my shit packed up and hanging off my body, but he didn't read this as a sign of "I gotta go".
Plus, it makes me nervous if he's sitting near me (which is all the time) if I don't have my headphones on, I'm going to get trapped in a conversation when I've got shit to do. Also, it feels like a mini earthquake is happening all around me and I'm not sure if I should duck and cover or get up and shove him off his stool. Option B sounds best.
I know a lot like him. Some, it's not as annoying as others and it is somewhat tolerable. Others, I want to punch in the throat. The ones that can't sit still when you are having a meeting and all you can read in their face is they can hardly wait for whoever is speaking to shut up so they can have their turn. That's a good indicator that the bouncy leg person wasn't listening at all. These are the ones that drive me crazy.
Really...put down the straw, in fact, throw it away. The cocaine induced ideas are probably not that good.
