Fear of fidgeting: One-third of population suffers from 'hatred of movements'
Excerpted....
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Can’t stand it when people around you are fidgeting or pacing? You may be suffering from a case of misokinesia, or a hatred of movements. On the bright side, at least you’re not alone. Researchers from the University of British Columbia report that up to one-third of the population is easily irritated by fidgeting.

Researchers define misokinesia as a strong negative emotional response to viewing someone else’s small and repetitive movements.

With kids around the house any fidgeting phobia is pretty soon cured

Mmh, yes, but moderately. What I really suffer from is phonophobia. I find it intolerable to hear sounds from humans like eating, or breathing. Even the sound of someone tipping on a keyboard drives me crazy.

Don't ever sleep in the bunkhouse in the bottom
of the Grand Canyon. Disturbing noises abound.

I can usually tolerate it but when I have to concentrate it drives me crazy. Worst offenders: sites with animated commercials, GO players with their fingers in the bowl. (@Revoltingest: I call the ref when you do that!)
