@dshanske I'm British, so sigh quietly, shake my head and fume in silence is usually as far as I go. I would like to feel confident enough to ask them to turn the volume down - but with some individuals that would be taken as a personal insult.

Etiquette question: You are sitting at a table in a public place, reading quietly and drinking a beverage. At the adjoining table is an individual watching a video, volume turned all the way up, and no headphones. What is the correct course of action?
