I'll feel phantom vibrations on my thigh when my phone isn't even in my pocket.

Sometimes I'll feel a buzz on my thigh, look at the phone on my desk, and then a new notification will come in. That shit freaks me out.

    Of course, they happen the most when you are expecting something.

    Back in the day it was an SMS or a call. Then maybe also an email if you had a good feature phone or a BlackBerry.

    Now everything has an app and they just love notifications...

    yeah, sometimes it vibrates when there's no notification.. which is extremely weird since i have internet access and notification blocked for about any app. Haven't looked much since it's not so often tho.

    Yes.

    Which is odd because, since getting a keychain pedometer I actually don't keep it in my pocket or take it most places.

    On my hand. I have notifications off on my phone, they get delivered to my MiBand.

    Yes, yes I do. It will vibrate, then I check it, no new notifications.

    I used to, but oddly it's stopped. I think it may be around the time I stopped having the ringer on by default, which is odd as the phone still vibrates.

    Yes, I've been feeling them since way way before cell phones were a thing.
