Don’t fidget. Some husbands are never still for a moment. They walk in and out of rooms like a wandering Jew; they play with the salt at dinner; they draw lines on the tablecloth with a fork; they tap the table with their fingers and the floor with their feet; they creak their slippers and drop the coal tongs on to the tiled hearth. In fact, they keep their wives in a state of tension, and the poor creatures would need nerves of iron to enable them to stand the strain.

From a very helpful 1913 advice book for husbands.
