Bong rip
Hit a bong.
Fiddling with my clothes/hair/anything within reach. For the big "fancy" idle animations that trigger after like 5 minutes of inactivity, I'd bust out my knitting/crochet or a book.

Ass wriggling on a chair: it is hard for me to keep one position
Bored toddler.
Slouched forward shoulders, weight on my heels, head back with a pained expression and small crying sounds.

It looks especially funny with a bright purple bucket hat, dark green oversized sweater (for Brits: jumper), black fanny pack, black leggins, and New Balance shoes. Hmm... maybe I should start wearing this in real life.
Sleeping. Possibly borritoβd into a blanket.
Sitting at my desk, thinking about how nice it must be outside.
Vaping and pulling at my beard whilst stood with an uncomfortably wide gate and shifterly looking around every several seconds.
Sitting down and bouncing my leg.
Definitely lighting a cig (don't smoke kids)
