The person sitting directly next to me has a whole fucking ROLL of bubble wrap and is leisurely working her way through the whole god damned thing.

walk over quietly. Put you hand on her popping hand, squeeze until she looks up. When she does with some horror at the vise grip you have on her, say quietly, "you mind?"

This is the song that doesn't end,
Yes, it goes on and on, my friends
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was,
Forever and forever singing just because—

She'll be begging for mercy.

Clip your toe nails. Flick them at her.

Stand up and yell, "OMG, would you stop farting? I'm trying to breathe here!"

Call someone on the phone. say in a really loud voice that sounds like it is attempting to be a whisper "I am afraid I might cause harm to myself or someone else. I'm hearing things. tiny little gunshots ringing in my head. They are calling me to the bell tower now. I just wanted you to know."

I LOVE bubblewrap...especially the huuuuggge bubbles!!!!

On the other hand...sitting right next to someone...I'd be a bit more cooth. Hmmm...what to do, what to do....you could pass gas...warn her that for every pop she makes, you'll crackle...tell her to get milk...the two of you can be a bowl of Rice Crispies...bet she'll get the hint...
If not, be more subtle: spit!
I HATE when a man spits!!!

Everytime she pops one you could say, "Bang! you're dead." she pops, you say "Bang! You're dead." POP "Bang! You're dead."

someplace around here, anyone seen my keys?
You have my sympathy, but I think this is exactly the kind of thing iPods and earphones were made for. Have some sympathy for someone else's stress relief activity.

When dclary posts, I read/respond. Period. I don't care if he was trying to figure out how many blades of grass grow every .05 seconds.

He makes me laugh.
He makes me think.

You do realize his ego is going to feed off of this for years, don't you? Do you know what kind of responsibility goes with the care and feeding of a Deek Ego? Do you have any idea what you are in for?

WELL? DO YOU?

Hum "It's A Small World" and get progessively louder. Works with Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as well (think the scene in Jaws where Quint goes to buy piano wire and the clarinet kid is there, practicing while he waits for the clerk to get new reeds. It's one of the funniest scenes in the movie).

Or, steal her wrap, twist all the bubbles out, and hand it back with a sheepish, "Oops... I couldn't help myself."

They pop, you sing:

*pop*

...goes the weasel.

*pop*

...goes the weasel.

*pop*

...goes the weasel.

*pop*

...goes the weasel.

ad infinitum.

I like Trish's idea the best. Sounds good. As a matter of fact, I'm ready to wrap my hands around someone's neck at work right now (though bubble wrap is not our issue). Aughh, today must just be one of those days.

This is the solution I ended up taking, what with actually having my laptop and 820-hours of itunes music queued up. She can't possibly have 820-hours worth of bubble wrap.

Can she?
