An anecdote for what it might be worth;
I was working in a small office there were just five of us. One of the blokes suddenly became a born-again-Pentacostal. He began exclaiming "PRAISE THE LORD!" ,loudly and often.This not only caused me to bite end off my biro more than once,it was also extremely annoying.
I explained to him that this behaviour was very distracting and inappropriate in an office and asked him to tone it down.He ignored me.
Next morning I took him aside. Gathering as much sincerity as I could,I looked him straight in the eye and promised to punch his lights out if he did not cease and desist. I was bluffing,but he didn't know that.He desisted immediately.
