Eventually I give him a good long hard stare that stops him in his tracks - he looks and gives me the thumbs up and takes the hint and sits down.
With headphones on - you have no perception of how loud you are speaking.
Oh and by by the way - I am profoundly deaf and wear powerful hearing aids so that gives you some sense of how LOUD this guy was!
Just drop the 'WIA' and let autocorrect do the rest.
