I just noticed this whilst neffing. Ill be reading a page, but while im reading, I click my mouse over and over again for no reason.

Sometimes ill even just start staring at the page not actually reading, but ill be left clicking non-stop and highlighting stuff.

WTF. Is this akin to shaking ones leg while sitting? Now that I noticed it, it just annoys me.

I do that, highlight random test also, and I click between 3-4 windows for no reason at all. Sometimes I'll just sit there drawing boxes with the file highlighter tool.

I also have a random habit of right clicking on the desktop and then clicking out of that menu as a way to clear whatever is currently selected.

Nothing as extreme as mad clicking while reading, but I do do a lot of un-needed clicking throughout my day.

I also have a bad habit of clicking randomly. It's really annoying. It's like I can't resist clicking. When I used to play WoW I would constantly screw stuff up by accidentally right clicking in the middle of doing something.
