The lady sitting in the cube next to me is CONSTANTLY banging a spoon against the side of a crock pot in the cube next to me. She stops for about 15 minutes and then she starts banging again. I'm going to walk around the wall and dunk her head in what I can only hope will be some kind of searing hot dish.

GAH! THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!

A normal person would just smile and say politely: "I don't mean to impose, but would you mind not tapping that spoon? It's a little distracting."

But I guess you antisocial types just type out your murder fantasies on message boards and bite your tongues until that fateful day when you show up to work with bloodshot eyes and an automatic rifle.
 
Just talk to her calmly about it first. Say that it is distracting you and if she could try to minimize the noise as much as possible. She might not think that it's bothering anybody.

I disagree. I think a normal person wouldn't be annoyed by it, so I hold my tongue because I don't want to be the crazy guy that gets annoyed by weird things.

Doesn't have to be automatic. A bolt-action rifle would be enough to get the point across. Even a pump action shotgun.

There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes again
(There she goes again)
Racing through my brain
(There she goes)
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name
she pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
(She calls my name)
There she goes again
(She calls my name)
Chasing down my lane
(She calls my name)
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes
(There she goes again)
There she goes again
(There she goes again)
Racing through my brain
(There she goes)
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes

No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains

There she goes

Chasing down my lane

This feeling that remains

There she goes

Pop into her cubicle, sit down, get comfortable and tell her you can't wait. When she reacts remind her that tapping on a crock pot with a spoon is the universal signal for a celebration party, and where's the drinks?

It helps if you gather some other people into this to go along with you 😀 .

:Q Why do you care what she thinks? Walk over there and tell her to STFU! If she doesn't, take her spoon and throw it in the trash.
