I have this nervous habit of tapping my foot or shaking my leg. I've had it since I was little and it used to drive my family members crazy (still does). I recently read an article that stated that this was a normal reaction to living a life that is predominantly sedentary. Humans aren't meant to sit around for hours. And in fact, this behavior should be encouraged in children as it not only helps them concentrate on their tasks, but also is a very effective way of burning calories (people who fidget burn on average 350 more calories daily than those who sit still, SUCK ON THAT!).
ANYHOO, back to the point of this rambling story. Yesterday, I was tapping my foot as usual.
It turned out OK though. It was just an earthquake. No harm done.

When suddenly I heard a strange noise. A rumbling. A clattering. Like the Jolly Green Giant was sashaying across the roof. The building was shaking. And for a brief moment, I legitimately thought it was because of my foot-tapping.
