* offtopic :
*Rant starts*
Some people gesture with their hands while having a conversation. Many do this even when the person they're talking to, can't see them, like while talking on a phone. It's normal. But abnormality starts when you move your hands so much that the people nearby get 'accidentally' scratched, slapped or poked. If people nearby you often get hurt while you talk, take a hint and try to control your bloody hands. (Yes, I got scratched today because of someone's wild hand.

)
*Rant ends*

Are you guilty of moving your hands most of the time while talking?

Choose "Yes", if that's the case.
Choose "No", if that's not the case.
Choose "I don't want to tell", if you're in denial.

Nine times out of ten, my hands are in my pockets.

I gesture a bit, but not that much. I do, however, have muscle spasms that occasionally cause my arms to hit out.

Sometimes, but I wouldn't say most of the time. I think I do it more when I'm nervous.

Probably the ones who can talk and move hands at same time are good at multitasking and the ones who don't...aren't?

Maybe a little I guess, but not much.

James, we all know where your hands are when you're talking to women.

Hell, maybe even guys.

I had my years on here being the butt of all the gay jokes Jeff, but times have moved on, it's your turn now.

Captain_Keeta | 21-11-2014 23:17

If you say so.

zjenn4 | 22-11-2014 00:41

Yes

I most definitely do. It is also not unusual for me to knock something over in the process.

CaptainStabbin | 22-11-2014 02:56

Yes

Yes

And thank you to whoever corrected the subject.

Cheater138 | 22-11-2014 02:56

Yes

Guilty. And I have hit people on accident before.

CarlJ | 22-11-2014 21:39

Yes

yep.....a good portion of the time anyway

Most of the time, no.
