Bounce bounce bounce

When you have sensory problems and there’s a leg bouncer won’t/can’t stop it’s like they are trying to kill you with vibrations in your chair the floor the air your brain
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I work in a tiny office right next to my manager who leg bounces, hand flaps, is heavy-handed on his keyboard, and externalises his thoughts all the time. But when ever I leg bounce he’ll let me know how distracting it is.
I’m so close to a HR incident I swear to god.

There's leg bouncing and there's the house is shaking leg bouncing.
I draw the line at when my monitor is shaking.

it's true,we're trying to kill you
Just as I suspected!

No science but do you do regular sport?
Huh... not science on my part either but i played waterpolo for 6 years 7 times a week and this is basically the most fundamental technique of the sport.

I had a biology teacher in middle school who said boys/men bouncing their leg are masturbating their prostate. She would also slander boys/men in any way she could during every class. Getting good grades as a boy in her class was impossible. Not my weirdest teacher but still memorable.

I appreciate you
You can appreciate them, but know in 10 mins when it starts up again they tried.

Don't and never have done regular sport and I'm pretty bad for it. I think it's just restlessness or helping blood flow.

The trick is to bounce both legs but in opposite directions. When one is going up the other is going down, cancelling each other out.

I am really, really sorry. That really bothers me when people do it, but I know it helps them. I try to tolerate it if I'm not having an awful sensory day, but sometimes it's like the noisy lightbulb and I just can't take it.
For me, leg bouncing isn't 'helping' anything so much as my leg just does that and to stop it takes constant effort. The moment I get distracted it goes back to bouncing.

Fool me once, devil. I'm not torsioning these testicles

I'm both like you and a fidgeter myself. It sucks. I do try to fidget subtlely- I like rubbing my fingernails with the thumb of the same hand.
I just put my piano fingers in my pockets while I'm walking around. I think it looks sophisticated.

I've legit just started:
"Can you stop shaking your leg?"
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm literally physically unable to control it, so, no I can't stop. Sorry."
I'm not even trying to be funny or lying, just deadpan matter of fact truth: no, I cannot.

She needs to be transferred to basically any subject other than biology, seeing as she has clearly demonstrated her lack of knowledge on the subject.

It's a symptom of PaD you might be subconsciously maintaining blood flow with the leg shaky shakes.
Phallic Assured Destruction?

One of my best friends in the world bounces his leg often. He's a bigger guy and it can definitely get annoying. I try to just let it go unless we're sitting at a table and he's shaking it too, then I will gently reach over and touch his knee to let him know. He immediately apologizes and stops, and I feel bad for having to say something, but I draw the line at shaking the table lol. If he's sitting across the room from me he can bounce to his heart's content.

Non-native here. For a good half a minute I couldn't wrap my head around legs having to do anything with "door guards".
One of my kind colleagues asked another - "What are you sewing?". It was both unoffensive and funny enough to get them to stop.

You shouldn't feel bad for making a reasonable request considering the compromise of letting him do it most of the time without saying a word.
Is it ideal for him? No. Is it ideal for you? Also no.
