Answer 3

I'm with you. It is annoying. You could always politely move away from the person or, if that's not possible, tell them they are distracting you by shaking their leg. Sometimes they apologize and stop. It's a nervous thing, kind of like twirling the hair, biting nails, or picking scabs.  

Answer 4

lol i do it all the time.

and i get just as annoyed as you do about it when others do it too...

i can't control it so please don't slap me!! i won't slap anyone if they do it haha

its not even a nervous-ness thing. i do it when i'm bored or concentrating. kinda keeps a beat and helps me stay on track i suppose. but i never realize it unless it makes noises or someone points it out.

sooo yeah. chill :) its not hurting you

Answer 5

My husband does it all the time...

it used to annoy me a little bit but I got used to it.

He doesn't even know he's doing it half the time...

it's crazy!!!

Answer 6

yea thats soooo freaking irritating! I dont know why people do it. Nervous tick, but its so annoying.

Answer 7

I read somewhere that people who fidget are highly intelligent and the repetitive motion helps them think.  It also uses up some of their excess energy (seldom do overweight people fidget).
