I just ordered this one and I can't wait until it gets here. I hope it helps me listen.

This is ridiculous how hard it is to answer this one.

I tried one once, and it was like I had to tear myself away from it. But I don't have any plans to get one. I guess I'm kind of annoyed by their popularity (for no good reason).

Do I want one? Probably, although I won't admit it (or did I just admit it?). How do I answer the question?

OK, I'm going to answer that I want one. The fact that I don't intend to get one is irrelevant.

The real ones are hard for me to hold, so have one on my phone screen.

Cool spinner :) I've never seen a bamboo one. I hope it is well-sanded so you don't get splinters! I have about 12 spinners now - my favorites are the metal ones as I like the smoothness and weight.

I have two, one glow in the dark and one that lights up, but I rarely use them.

That's a lovely looking spinner :heart: I bet the wood feels lovely.

I own 2 , a plastic one which was too big for my short fingers. I then got a smaller metal one which feels much nicer , makes a nicer noise. I bought one to see if I could stop my leg bouncing when watching TV and it worked great at that but after about 3 weeks I went back back to leg bouncing as it felt better.

No, and I don't want one.

I have a Euler's Disc though, which is pretty cool, (but not often in use).

My son has one, for the brief moment in time where everyone just had to have one.

I have/had no interest in it whatsoever.

No, because anything like this which is a generic craze and is everywhere, all the time, everyone has to have them, instantly annoys me and I refuse to do it.

I just got a Stampy Cat one for my birthday a couple weeks back :D . I prefer the spinners over the cubes, definitely!

I just found (and purchased) two interesting things. One called a soccer spin ball and the other a fidget spinner cube. The first is a ball that has several different ways it can spin, and the second is a cube that is both a spinner and can disassemble into a top. They won't arrive for another couple of days but I think they might be interesting :)
