Would you feel anxious if your room got shaken regularly?

I haven't seen all the James Bond movies and can't figure out what the "James Bond-style" means. So what does that mean?


It references how James Bond drinks his Vodka Martinis, "Shaken, not stirred".

Ahhh. I get it. Now I'm trying to picture a house being stirred.

Certainly. I was a nervous wreck in my old apartment just because the walls creaked when the temperature outside changed. Physical vibrations would have been even worse.

I've knit through earthquakes before :D

I think those are manageable because they're infrequent, though. I'd get a little bit more annoyed if passing cars shook my house.

I'm bouncing in my bed quite often; it's how I use my leftover energy.

So I'd think I'm quite tolerant to something like this.

4 years at university gave me plenty of experience in this area. Though I didn't feel anxious, I was thoroughly annoyed (largely due to the fact that the conductors would lay on the horn for minutes at a time despite the fact there was no intersection and the three tracks were fenced in so as to not allow the child or random drunk to stumble upon the tracks).
