I once said "hey Steve - exactly how much money does that keyboard owe you?"

Thankfully he was smart enough to pick up what I was throwing down and stopped beating it.

Walk over to his desk and pee on him. It will assert yourself as the alpha, and then he will follow your lead.

1. "Hey, naming your keyboard [name of HR chick or intern here] is not the real thing. Stop banging it and make a move on her."
2. Rule one on HR chick or intern here

So the guy is pulling his pud at the office, and your main concern is how loud he types?







Y'all have any openings?

Or type just as loud or louder to annoy that person. Maybe they will get the hint.

Does he use a mechanical keyboard? Not much you can do about those not being loud, but they sure feel nice for typing.

When a child is yelling for no reason you do it right back to them.

I say do the same in your situation.



Or there is always this option

tell him to get a woman instead.

banging a keyboard just sounds painful and not very pleasurable

You quit typing. The average will then be acceptable.

You go find yourself the loudest clickiest mechanical keyboard you can find and you show him what pain is. Destroy his sanity and smile while you do it...

2. Borrow hipster's typewriter.
3. Exact revenge.
4. Don't return the typewriter, tell the hipster to get a real job.
5. ??????
6. Profit.

Well the reason I asked age is because people that are older learned to type on manual typewriters and you had to really bang the keys or the type wouldn't strike.

When my mom types it is like an assault as it is constant banging on the keys. I keep trying to get her to type softly, but she grew up banging the keys to type.

Reciprocate by going home and banging loudly on his girlfriend or wife.

If he is gay, then sorry, no advice for you.
