Hands | Matt Nielsen
Let's see, 10 things people do with their hands...
1. The "washing my hands" action. My wife works with a kid who is constantly rubbing his hands together like he is "washing" them. She finds it incredibly annoying.
2. The "Cupping a fist". I am notorious for this one. Basically you make one hand a fist and place it in the other one in front of you. This is also a way to pop you knuckles.
3. The "Thumb in the Pocket". This is the act of placing your thumb in your pocket while the rest of your hand is spread out across your thigh.
4. The "Hand on the Chin". I also do this alot. It is basically the thinking man pose, where you use your hand to kind of stroke your chin. It is more effective if you have a beard.
5. The "Hands in the Pocket". Probably the most common of hand actions, this is usually used by 2 different people. The shy person, who keeps their hands in their pockets and their head down, or the person with cold hands.
6. The "Marching Man". Have you ever noticed people walking around with their hands closed into fists? Not neccesarily tight fists, but just with fingers curled and hands at their sides? These are usually former or current military people who are used to marching everywhere. I am guilty of this.
7. The "Fist Clincher". This is different than the "Cupping a Fist" in that with this one you are constantly openening and closing a fist, almost as if you are getting ready to pound someone.
8. The "Inter-Locked Fingers". This is simply where you interlock the fingers of your hands either in front of you or behind your back.
9. The "Hand Gesturer". This is the guy who can't talk to you without waving his hands around trying to constantly emphasize his point.
10. The "Nose Picker". I think this one is pretty self explanitory, but if you don't know it is when you use your fingers to pick various items out of your nasal orifice.

I loved how you named each thing. It gave me a sense of what was coming. Kind of like a foreshadowing or some sort. Very unique.
