I am not one for confrontation, but that would drive me up a wall . I can't stand it when people do disgusting things like that...it is like someone dragging their fingernails on a chalk board. I must be super sensitive to stuff like that. I have had to ask a few cube mates to either get a set of headphones when listening to music or offer them an extra set I keep at my desk. I really do run away from confrontation, but there are times that something must be said. Sometimes, though, I can't bring myself to say anything when something annoys me and so I 'make a scene' at my desk by rattling and banging things. Very passive aggressive
