    For some reason I can never resist tapping out the opening beat of the Four Seasons' "Rag Doll" on the wall/pipes while using a public urinal.

    PS I bet everyone will be doing it now.

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

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

    Gonna go postal at some point
    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.

    Have you tried twerking in his face in time with his tapping?

    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.

    Email leaves evidence we can use to fire you later.

    Yeah and it clearly works too.

    If he asks you to do anything just tell him to **** off and die. If he complains tell him you're a compulsive angry ****.
