No amount of evil eyes will get this guy to stop as he is banging on the screen like he is pushing buttons on his xbox, each tap reverberating through my brain, inches away.
Is it me, him, or are these things an inherent disaster for passenger comfort?
Instead of giving him evil eyes and saying incantations, you should have just told him you were trying to sleep and the tapping was bothering you. Then you could instruct him on the proper technique: light tap with your fingernail, not hard jab with your fist.
