Madness? This... Is... Irritating!

So it's been a little while since the desk moves at work and as I've mentioned I don't like it at all. I'm not going into it again. I also have WhatsHisFace next to me with his annoying habits, but I may have found one that's even more annoying.

Dude sits across the other side of the room. No idea what his job is - could be anything. But every few minutes the son of a bitch rubs his hands. Not in a "my hands are cold" sort of way, but in a "let's annoy the crap out of Paul as much as possible" sort of way.

Every.
Few.
Minutes.

Loud hand rubbing. Possibly a little sweaty too, judging by the slappy sound it makes. Every few bloody minutes!

As a little test I am dedicating the rest of my afternoon to the study and will be timestamping each time he does it. Watch now as he doesn't do it the rest of the day.
I was about to mark the time the study started, but instead he rubbed his hands in a "start now" sort of way.

14:38 And we're off! [1]
14:41 He's got a drink now; that should keep his hands busy for a bit.
14:46 I think he knows I'm watching him. He's folded his arms.
14:49 That was a big one too. He'd obviously been saving it up. [2]
14:51 And another. [3] And a small one. [4]
14:55 This is starting to feel like stalking. I'm not stopping though.
15:02 Do it! It's been almost 10 minutes, come on!
15:05 Looking a bit nervous over there, sunshine. I know you want to!
15:08 Finally! I knew he'd cave first. [5]
15:09 That one barely qualified in volume terms, but it still happened. [6]
15:13 One more. [7]
15:14 That was a big one. We're back on track. [8]
15:30 Okay I was busy for a few minutes there. I must have missed a couple.
15:32 Phew. There's a relief. [9]
15:35 He's up the far end of the room now and I still heard that one! [10]

Okay I'm bored now, but you get the idea. Annoying as hell. If I could record audio or video I'd post that up too. Jeez. And he has dodgy hair. Grr.
