I just realized that I regularly make hand gestures while talking on the phone. Apparently, I subconsciously believe people on the other end of the line can see my motions through their phone's speaker. Anyone else do this? Am I crazy? Both?

A LOT of people do it, but I don't. I make facial expressions not hand gestures.

Most of my family does, but I don't. I really don't even talk on the phone much.

I do not limit my gestures to just hands, but use my whole body.

I don't, I had never given it any thought, but I guess I'm aware the other person can't see me so I just talk. It IS a silly thing to do now that I think about it. :P

A have a habit of walking around when I'm on the phone. For me, it's hard to talk with someone on the phone if I'm sitting down.

No, but I do occasionally nod or shake my head instead of saying yes or no.

While giving directions over the phone, I was drawing an imaginary map with my hand. I'd say stuff like "Okay, up here (as I'm pointing and waving) on the left you'll see a gas station... turn right at the next intersection."

A little. I don't think anyone sits absolutely still on their seats.
But in general I stay quite still. If I'm talking to a close person I pace too. (I dunno why :?)

Yeah, I like to do jumping jacks while on the phone.

But really though, it's hard for me to sit still when I'm on the phone. I always walk around without even knowing it.
