    I am close to snapping

    Working in an open plan office in London and I have been here, developer, for five months. There is a loud guy, consultant, who sits at the other end of the office. The problem is, he laughs like Mutley from the cartoon Whacky Races. Very loud.

    Nothing is that ****** funny, nothing can be that ****** funny for that ****** long. I have seriously considered violence and am now considering not extending because of the irritating little sh!t tick.

    Got a Scotsman behind me who laughs like a pneumatic drill.

    I wager my annoying laugh is worse than your annoying laugh!

      I dont have the link, but I remember reading in the Guinness book of records that more irritating laughers who sound like mutley are murdered world-wide, every year, than any other irritating laugh. Including jocks that laugh like a pneumatic drill.

        Wait till you can collar him on his own (e.g. corridor, coffee kitchen) tell him it must be a great area he's working in because of all the laughter and banter but it is affecting your work and others near you.

        If he understands he'll act upon your request. If he continues, then it's ok to kill the *****!

            Yes, but they are murdered in a more humane manner. People who have to suffer pneumatic jocks *really* flip out! I once heard about someone who attacked their jock with every item in the stationery cupboard (stapled goolies, biro in eye, haggis up rectum etc etc....)

              Yes, of course the haggis-bashers are murdered more brutally, no one is disputing that. But the number is the point, the quantity. Plus the dancing on the grave afterwards.

                I am not qualified to give the above advice!

                Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                  Will it help if you develope a more thundering laugh than him, just to neutralise his laugh

                    Hmmm. I guess I can't dispute Norris McWhirter.

                    Well, I have anecdotal evidence that more people grind their teeth, then go home and kick the dog/wife after suffering braying laughter from north of the border...
