Fidget Spinner

Benson

So a guy at work bought one of these in today, at first I couldn't get my head around the point of it but I found myself 'playing' with it and couldn't put it down. If you haven't seen one before and find fiddling with a prop like a stress ball or pen helps you concentrate then Google it. Or you could just get more work, that would work too

I have a lot of fidget toys. This is well aligned with my interests.

Seen it. I'd like to have one, but think I'd want to punch anyone else playing with one anywhere near me.

I bet you say that to all the girls...

Offspring 2 has a lot of different ones to help her concentrate.  Autism thingies, makes sense to her and Mrs Stoo.

My youngest has got a couple..... good fun.  He does find it a bit annoying that I can do more 'tricks' with them than he can....

I haven't got a spinner but I have a fidget cube. Unfortunately I like the side with the clicky switch best and it's very noisy.

We have a cube a spinner and a pentagon.

My youngest wanted them, but I find the spinner fascinating

I got my 11 year old son a fidget spinner last week. It looked utterly pointless to me but now he's got it I cant resist giving it a spin every time I see it. Isn't it a gyroscope for the 21st century?

Bought them for my kids, £15 a pop, they are tossed aside in their bedrooms now. Fun for about 20 seconds then seem utterly pointless.

Kids got 3 for £10 over the coast on Monday, then I see the 2p pushers in the amusements had them so I got £2 in 2ps and got 2 for £1.40.

they are quite fun I am trying to master the hot potato trick

Full marks that man, genuine admiration for that one.  It's practical thinking like that which'll get us through these straightened times!

My misses just bought some of these off one of our suppliers we use for our shop, I think they were a pound each, not sure why she's bought them but she has

If I ever become a porn star then Fidget Spanner will become my porn name.

I'm going to be 'Midget Spinner'.  I have my signature move all worked out.

Are you actually a Little Person ?

My son just bought one as an aid to help him stop biting his nails.Amazingly it appears to have done the trick and he hasn't bitten them for over a week.


On the down side,he is currently sporting a rather impressive pair if black eyes.

I have one. Kind of handy they became trendy which lowered the price for the people who actually fidget
