As perplexing as the whole fidget spinnything fad is (like they're kinda neat and feel nice when you do the spinny with them but I'm sure the novelty would wear off fast for me were I to actually buy one), what I find even weirder is the absolute rage some people fly into when the subject comes up, like full on 'unleash the fucking fury' mode. Just saw an incomprehensible rant in Norwegian about the things posted on my Facebook feed and I'm just like... why do they bother you so much, my man?

@Forgebold Making people irrationally angry is partially why I bought mine.

@Mycroft Ha, I suppose the irl trolling factor would be another thing to add to the list of reasons to buy one.

@Forgebold Also it was glow in the dark orange! For if I ever get invited to a cool party with blacklights. Which I never have and probably never will.

@Mycroft Neat! I haven't seen any fancy ones around where I live, sadly.
