    Talk to your boss or HR, whatever your company rules are.

          Maybe should be looking for a new job unless you can get sympathy from management. Have you talked to management?

                Apart of killing him, breaking him badly or speaking to HR or your bosses... have you considered speaking with him calmly and explaining your case? who knows, it is possible that he is happy with the job and that feel well with teammates and is not noticing that is being heavier than a ton of rocks... If that is not working, then the next normal and natural step will be to kill him by giving him a big amount of rat poison. Oh, and when he will be panting in front of you, you could sing and tap the table like drums... (that was a joke of course...) :rolleyes:

                  1. Have you tried asking him to stop? 2. Have you tried talking with HR about it if #1 didn't work? 3. Look for a new job?

                      Other people in the office are OK with it? Put a microphone there and amplify the singing so everyone can enjoy it.

                          I used to be the guy thrumming his fingers on the desk, I didn't even realize I was doing it as loud as I thought it was until someone pointed it out. Oops :-O Talk to him about it. If he's a decent guy he'll be embarrassed about it and probably stop. If not, then talk to your manager.

                          It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                Why wait 3 months?  Send him a polite IM or email requesting that he not sing and drum on the desk.  He's probably not aware that he's disturbing you.  (If he was, you would've said something. :) ) /ravi

                                      Probably should do it sooner rather than later. Boss should want you happy and productive. Now telling them to fix it or you go is a different story. Has to be handled much more carefully. Last contract found that I probably could have gone to my contracting agency and they would have moved me temporaily to New York to ensure I did not loose rights to having per diem. Instead I changed companies. Oh well.
