    And then he might have stopped

        Had a gig sat next to a very loud P.A. who spent the day talking loudly to her mother about home improvements. In order to get any work done I'd insert noise-cancelling headphones and try and concentrate. More often than not, she'd then put her own headphones on thinking the office was a bit too loud (because of her!), and would bob her head in time to the music out of the corner of my eye for an hour or two. Tough gig, that one.

            Have you tried twerking in his face in time with his tapping?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              "I'll try but I'm a compulsive tapper" came the response by email.

              Is he a drummer perchance? I worked next to one of those, and he'd be bashing everything on his desk with pens. I asked him to stop once, and he seemed surprised that I didn't like it.

                Spread some glue on the place where he taps regularly. Next time he taps, he would be stuck for good
                I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.

                  If you don't have any glue, use jizz.

                    I got my mate one of these for his office:
