@Linkat,
i can't stand the noises my co-workers make -- but i've resigned myself to the fact that they are just going to make 'em.
guy in the next aisle, for example, likes to exhale.
.a lot.
.loudly.
he also likes to use his desk as a set of bongos.
he also also is good at making this cricket-whistle sound.
after the first hundred times it got really old.
i just bite my tongue and live with it because i'm the one who brought the guy in in the first place
!
most people are simply not self-aware;
.some figure it out;
. others never do.
i don't think there's a good way to tell someone they are annoying you...
