Put Your Hands Down

I’m not sure how this study was done since no one really talks in person anymore, well i guess you can do it over skype and facetime but that would just make you even more annoying. I’m talking about hand gestures. Coming from a spanish mother I know all about talking with your hands! Watching her and my aunt talk in spanish was pretty entertaining, even though I don’t speak spanish I could follow along pretty easily by the way they moved their hands. Although, I never did catch one of them throwing up the air quotes, or using the wink and the gun. (“you can’t give the guy the wink and the gun and not give him the job!” …Carlton from Fresh Prince…nothing? Moving on.) There are plenty of other hand gestures that are SUPER annoying so they did a survey in Britain to find out the top 10. Be sure to check them out and if you do any of them STOP THAT!

The makers of a new iPhone app called Goggle Eyes did a survey in Britain to find the most-annoying hand gestures.  Here’s the Top 10, starting with the most annoying:
#1.)  Using your fingers to make “Air Quotes”.
#2.)  Talk to the Hand.
#3.)  Tapping the side of your nose to say “none of your business.”  (–This might be a British thing.)
#4.)  Blah Blah Blah.  That’s when you open and close your hand like a mouth.
#5.)  Finger Guns.
#6.)  Hand Punch:  You hit your palm like you’re getting ready to fight.
#7.)  Pointing to your eyes and then another person to say “I’m watching you.”
#8.)  Call Me:  Making your hand into a fake phone.
#9.)  Fake Yawn.
#10.)  Throat Slash.
