[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 3213370, member: 926"] My hands are constantly moving. Nonlethal Force sounds just like me. However, I have Tourette Syndrome, too, so I have some tics, but if I can manage to get something else to fidget with it usually helps as something to do other than the tics. Penalizing people for doing these things is mean. You have absolutely no idea why they are doing this stuff. It could be lots of reasons. Trying to "punish away" the behavior you dont like is pretty bad. These are grown people, not children, and not pets. If I had someone tell me to stop fidgeting, which I have have had happen, Ill lose focus, not be able to pay attention, and my tics will start to come out, and then theyll REALLY have something to annoy them. I used to get in such trouble in school because I would draw during class. If I sat there staring at the teacher I wouldnt hear a word the said because my mind would wander. But if I could draw, then it didnt matter if I was looking at the teacher or not, I heard everything they said (not that any teacher I had was ever worth listening to). [/QUOTE]
