I’m being terribly English about it. Where most people would rail against the source of their annoyance, I am feigning an intense fascination with my wrist hair and shirt cuffs until the irritation goes away.
If it should continue on beyond my ability to bear it, I shall resort to extreme English measures, up to and not excluding, sighing loudly and muttering “Well, really!” under my breath.
