I have seen these stupid things online and in stores for a while, but yesterday I saw it being used for the first time.  I was having breakfast in a truckstop, and a driver I have listened to, and tolerated for several weeks, was contradicting everyone on anything they said.  When I looked over, he was sitting with one hand up spinning one of these stupid things.  Someone is getting rich off the modern version of the Pet Rock.

Some teachers are using them to help kids with attention problems, as well as certain levels of autism. Our youth pastor's wife works with younger school kids and says these things have actually helped some of her kids with their focusing abilities.

I think for the other 90% of folks it is just another fad.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I agree that there is a place for these, but you last statement is the most important part of your post.

No.  He was one of those know it all tough guys.  Early 30'show, local driver who tells all the old veteran long haulers how it's done.

Anyone with a man bun deserves a kick in the c*nt.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Yeah, what Frank said.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)
