Taptaptaptaptap - We're working from home and my DH is annoying me with his constant foot tapping

Just stop!

Is anyone else working from home with a partner who does heel tapping/leg jiggling thing? It's SO irritating! I keep asking him to stop.

We live in a one bedroom flat, so I can't just go and work in another room.

Aaaaaaah!

Would drive me mad too. We're both working from home at the moment and DH has bought an old-school keyboard with really noisy clacky keys, luckily I can shut the study door and the living room door to stop the noise! (Also the loud work phone conversations!!).

I'm a foot tapper I honestly don't even realise I'm doing it, especially when I'm concentrating hard on work. DH just needs to say "you're tapping again" through gritted teeth and I will stop immediately, but I can't stop myself as I don't know it's happening.

I apologise on behalf of foot-tappers everywhere and give you permission to tell him to stop and nip it in the bud every time he starts.

Unless it's studio flat, I'd be finding another space to work in. Kitchen table? Sofa and coffee table? Chair in the bedroom where you usually pile clothes not quite in need of washing yet? If it is a studio, then you have my sympathy.

I live with a jigger but he works in the office upstairs and I'm in the dining room downstairs. He is a noisy person though, but I've learned to zone most of it out.

He's sitting at the table, I'm on the sofa. We don't have a separate kitchen.

There's no alternative then. You'll have to swaddle his feet in cotton wool.

Or sellotape his legs together. (See, there was an alternative!)
