I guess you know kids 'falling out of their chairs' is no accident. They 'ride' them to the ground falling backwards for the sport of it, and the distraction. An adult would never think of doing that, you'd hurt yourself. Put your back out or hit your head. I've done it, but by accident. It was one of those typical cushy bucket office chairs with wheels. I was leaning back and suddenly WHAM. I was lying on my back in the chair. It was right in the staff room and I didn't know what had happened, had this stunned look on my face probably. Suddenly 'sitting' in the chair with the chairs back to the floor, still 'sitting in it'. I lay there stunned looking around at concerned faces looking down at me. Actually, they looked angry, not concerned. Like 'what business does this person have tipping over in his chair like that, it's embarrassing'. The back of my head 'whiplashed' onto the floor as it happened which accounted for being stunned.
At the same time it was really, really fun. Like it completely broke the cruising right along but a little monotonous maybe routine. I was a 'chair pilot', like I'd seen the kids pilot their chairs to the ground. Like a rodeo rider. I actually, now that I'd experienced it, wanted to do it again immediately like an amusement park ride. Now that I had the knack and not wanting to lose the ability. At the same time my neck felt a bit out of whack, but I wanted 'the thrill of the chair' again.
Let me know how it works out for you

The truly most annoying thing that some of my students do is turn up. Trying to teach them anything is a complete waste of time.

My students don't do anything that's in the poll with any frequency.

But I hate when they let huge sneezes go, spraying a snot mist to rest on any surface that's within range. I've trained some kids to cover their sneezes or aim them at the floor, but it's a losing battle.
