Just a quickie
Met a lovely young gentleman in Tesco this afternoon - as I placed (dumped) the contents of my shopping basket on the checkout thingy, he very nicely reached over and rearranged them neatly, even going so far as to put the blue 'this is my stuff' barrier behind them. I thanked him, and he said it was just common courtesy.

Then, this lovely man turned out to be an insaney person. He began headbanging and air drumming to his music on his ipod, while waiting for his stuff to go through.

From me thinking, aww what a love, I began thinking, oh what a shame. But how can I get across the social education about headbanging (quite vigorously) in public being a no no, especially if you wish to impress the ladies? ... without hurting his feelings?

Why didn't you introduce yourself?
I'm a nice guy really!

Well, I would've done
except that he was clearly enjoying his insaney moment. And I didn't want to encourage him.

I'm a nice guy
But I only headbang/airdrum at work, never at Tesco.

Ok, I may gently nod my head, maybe tap my foot to the music..

Noooo
gentle head rocking, foot tapping, I can deal with...

This was full blown "I'm at a metal concert" headbanging. I was a little worried that any minute he might decide the rest of us in the queue were part of his mosh pit.

That is rather special.

Stab him
unplug him from his ipod and say no very firmly

Bop him on the nose with some rolled up newspaper?

I like this idea the best
Along with the pointing of the finger at him...

At least he wasn't singing along.
I think headbanging and air-drumming are both accetable as long as no noise is forthcoming.

Bang his todger smartly with a spoon
that's what my friend does.

Actually, thinking about it, that's for an entirely different problem.
