Not me, but my mother in law does.
Personally I just think she's a loon.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
Yep, had it for as long as I can remember. Usually worst when sitting down and tired. Cramp like pain in the lower leg, especially the shins for some reason, that make me have to move them every few seconds or get up and walk about. I get a bout of it about once a month or so."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Me too, I have to make up pretend meetings to give myself a reason to get up and walk around sometimes. Just can't abide sitting around for ages.
Mind you, its not as bad as some people - there are quite a few where I work suffering from Restless Mouth Syndrome...Comment

Yes, irritating git syndrome.
Hyperactive people often suffer from it and too much caffeine can cause it.
My wife usually gets in in the evening (titter). She calls it "unnecessary legs". It's very distracting when trying to watch TV next to her.Comment

My sister in law does it. I agree with the annoying git syndrome. I think it's caused by the fact that she's FINE. Female, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I guess I do this, but I've never thought of it as a "syndrome". I never seem to be able to sit still for long.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
