Presumably they're also known to cause cancer in California
You gotta keep up. Rental scooters are the new blight on kind society.
I still think the old spitball is the way to go.
LOL as an undiagnosed ADHD child, my go to in school (no one noticed because I was the daydream type and also smart enough to "get by" in fact more than that) was to draw tiny checkerboard squares and then color them like a chessboard. It is still my go to "thing" during boring meetings, I usually imagine I am in solitary confinement as it occurs.
LOL in middle school I got really PO'd that they shoved me in the gifted class after I took some bunch of tests, I was like "School is like JAIL, now you are putting me into Hard Labor WHAT IS THIS."
I was not able to talk my parents out of it, but my favorite class was like recess and well, anything where we didn't have to work in groups.
Working in groups is not only a way to "push" kids into the next grade without failing them outright, but also a diagnostic and management nightmare. I always wanted to sniff the glue by the end I was like, "okay can we PLEASE just all agree on SOMETHING and DO IT so we are done," starting out reasonable but usually it didn't end that way. I don't think the fidget spinner would have helped me much. On occasion, I did the entire project for the group because it was that, or glitter down a group members throat so at least she would SHUT UP for a minute.
I'm sorry but not all humans need to work as a team, it's not necessary, and frankly, you want to get all chummy with your classmates in NON deviant ways, well save it for home ec or shop class. At least in either of those, you are DOING something, not talking about 'how to do it." I will take a partner for frog dissection day, but only in the hopes that they will like, touch the dead frog more than I have to. A fidget spinner would not have helped there either, actually, it just would have gotten dirty.
So were fidget spinners being used as like, throwing stars? Or were they actually carcinogenic, because if it's the former I might want to get a bunch in preparation to hand them to kids in my new job, the ones that are being bullied. (Probably clandestine instruction necessary).
TLDR: Personal hell: Mid level manager.

Grimm Green's video posted by Baditude is a must watch. Spread the word!
It's amusing how many articles the Bing search below brought up.

Yes. Yes I did miss that(!) We live in an age where sarcasm and satire just can't keep up with reality.

Everything causes cancer in California.
If cancer was banned, teens would smoke that too.

Wine is fermented grape juice. Teenagers drink juice, adults-wine. E-cigarette liquid may or may not contain nicotine. In the end, it all depends on the parents. If someone likes to smell gasoline-is it a reason to ban gas stations?
