when you're trying to concentrate and someone keeps tapping their fingers or bouncing their leg right next to you
You're three paragraphs deep into actual work when your coworker's leg starts its seismic assessment of the floorboards beside you. You try to ignore it. You can't. His knee has become a metronome for a song only he can hear, and it's playing at exactly the frequency that makes your eye twitch. Finally you look over, and he's completely still, staring at his screen like a man at peace with the universe—his leg doesn't even pause. It's like his body hired a freelancer to keep time while his brain clocked out.
