clicky click click

[fuschiagroan]

A woman I work with has a really annoying habit of moving her thumb joint so that it clicks. She does it ALL THE TIME, if she is just sitting down, in a meeting or chatting. It is a tiny sound but it completely grates on my nerves. How can she not know it's annoying?? I know there's nothing I can do about it as I can hardly say 'Can you please not click your thumb, it's incredibly annoying', can I?

She is perfectly nice apart from that, but AAARGH. AIBU that it annoys me so much?

My DP doesn't realise he's doing it so it could be the same for her. I know it doesn't help much but she's not doing it to annoy you.

If HR are over-sensitive and have an issue with the cleaver (or alternative tasering/conching type activities)then you could ask to move seats for some made-up reason?
Or move jobs?
OOOH or get her sacked promoted to a different area?

Perhaps I'm getting carried away now with clicking vengeance

I'm certain she doesn't realise it's annoying. But it is! It's constant as well. argh. Oh well, at least I have nothing bigger to worry about
