And now I'm absolutely pissing myself!! Laughing Laughing

It seems a colleague or 2 have complained that when I'm sat at my desk I have a habit of 'jiggling' my legs making the desks attached to mine vibrate! Razz

I can understand why this would annoy people, and it's just a habit I've got into that I don't even realise I'm doing at the time. What I find hilarious though is how they can't possibly tell me to my face and have to go crawling to management to sort it out. I don't think I'm an arse, generally I say good morning to people every morning and when it happens I can take plenty of criticism without making it personal or feeling 'hurt'... Sometimes my office is beyond belief!

So how do I stop myself doing this 'jiggling' when I don't even know I'm doing it!? I'm considering making and handing out flags to everyone around me that they can simply wave in the air if I start off without realising! Laughing

Leg jiggling is fucking annoying.

I would say that you have genuine disabilty and therefore require your own office. Razz

I think I'll tick the box that says - 'All of the above' thanks! Laughing

I'll have a wank first, (wouldn't be the same without legs), then hand out the flags and shortly after that I'll cut off my legs. That'll make the fuckers feel guilty for bringing the issue up in the first place. Twisted Evil

Oh wait, I wouldn't be able to ride my bike without legs... bugger I'll have to think of something else! Wink

I do it too Cool

For fucks sake, the pathetic oxygen thieving sausage swallowers.

Hmm, all you office types are retarded...why not try and solve the problem? I.e a carpet under neath the tables so they dont rock.

Seriously though, I cant imagine working in a place where someone would go to your manager instead of to you about FOOT TAPPING.

My girlfriend does it enough to drive me MAD! I do it sometimes but she is just too much.
Sometimes watching a movie in bed she causes enough resonance in the bed to give me fucking motion sickness!!

LOL, that made me laugh...what a bunch of loosers.

The other day i was doing it while concentrating on a drawing i was doing, the guy sat opposite me suddenly said "Whoa, my calculators actually moving on its on" meaning the LCD display was all over the place when really it was just me wobbling the table. Laughing
I didn't tell him Thumbs Up

I do it a lot, people tell me to my face though, if they went to management I'd bring it up with them in person just like I do with any other issue's that arise.... Twisted Evil

I have done this ever since I took up drums at like 13, as well as tapping/finger drumming. My legs are more or less constantly doing a 32nd double bass beat whilst im sat at my desk.

Dont get the urge to do it whilst in bed though, just when im sat thinking about stuff or chatting to people. Mates at the pub tell me to sit fucking still when their pints have ripples like when the T-Rex is walking in jurassic park, but half the time i dont even realise im doing it. The missus just backhands me, though that could just be because of my presence in general Very Happy .

If people in my office had a problem wth it im sure they'd tell me. If my manager pulled me in because they had gone to them instead of approaching me, then those office colleagues might as well be dead to me - I wouldn't ever give them the time of day again, save for what is necessary in order to fulfill my work duties.

I had a (now ex) colleague sat next to me who jigged his legs so much my monitor nearly fell over. I told him to stop jigging his f**ing legs, it's not river dance. Got the point across, stopped doing it. He also used to make chuffing noises, incesantly clear his throat astoundingly loudly and witter on about C.A.M.R.A. Unless you tell someone they're annoying they probably are completely unaware of it. I always make a point of telling someone rather than harbour a grudge or go crying to the boss.

Just ask your work mates to punch you the fuck in the face when you do it..trust me you'll become aware of when your being an annoying twat and stop it soon enough. If I worked with you..I wouldn't need asking and I wouldn't bother manager time with it either.....how hard can it be not to act like a twat all the time lol

People who shake their legs are a pain in the arse, so are hummers, singers, loud talkers, those that use a pen to dial a phone, spreaders who take up loads of room, chatters, coffee slurpers, polo mint eaters, twitchers, gossips, the list is endless. Why not go to management, thats what they are there for, to sort things out. let them get the flack.

Evil or Very Mad
Jiggly legs is a horrible habit....on par with hocking up loogies noisily.

I have no solution as old habits die hard.
Still....your colleagues are being a bit petty for making it into a management involved issue.

Ha ha, that's quite funny. Do you think your colleagues had a meeting before going to management about your leg vibrating issues. I wonder if they took minutes. Razz

I had a similar incident being called a theif while working for a holiday company. I went to borrow a rizzla off my so called mate when he was sleeping and he accused me of robbing his stuff, and apparently everybody else's stuff that had gone missing. Didn't tell me about it then I was called in front of the senior manager and confronted. couldn't believe it. Over a rizzla.

These people are just spinless, and don't have the intergrity to come and ask you first. If I was you I'd call a "meeting" and tell everyone what you think about them. Just to clear the air.

Give them a handful of beer mats each and explain how to shove them under the table legs to stop them wobbling.
