Yes, like MusicLover said, we can talk to that person gently, but that is all we can do. We cannot force our opinion to others, as it might be different with their opinion. What we find annoying might be fun for some people. And there is nothing wrong with that as long as it’s not against the law. So what I would do in your situation is learning some self control, don’t let others behavior ruins your day. I am now trying to learn Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and it helps me so far, though I find it’s not an easy thing to do.

I've learned over the years that you can't change someone's behavior. Easier said than done but don't let that person have that power over you. You'll just be upset for no reason because the person may not really know the issue. And yes, you can speak with that person to resolve the issue. But personally, I only do that if the relationship is worth saving, otherwise, ignore him or her and keep it movin.
