    Advice please

    Got a co-worker (only works 2 days a week mind, looks like something out of the Wonga ads) and he sits there all day tapping and drumming his fingers on his desk.

    Driving me but I'm too polite to say anything.

    Any inventive ways of solving this?

    A thin layer of treacle the surface of the desk

      "please stop drumming your fingers on the desk - its annoying"

      Or you could escalate. Or resign - just as you were bringing the project back from the brink and making it a success.....

              I can think of something more effective than treacle.

                  Two alternatives;

                  - Superglue on the desk

                  - Nitro-glycerine on the desk

                  Which would give you the bigger laugh?
