Bo, this’d be the perfect opportunity to say “Yeah, sorry, won’t do that again.”
Like you’d do in real life if a friend took you aside, bought you a beer and said “Bo, there’s this thing you do that’s really rubbing most of us the wrong way…”
At least I hope you wouldn’t say “LOL! Don’t care! I can just ignore you and be even more annoying and there’s nothing you can do! Neener neener!”
A little self-awareness would totally change my view of you. Everyone mellows, and I’d assume you were maturing and I’d stop holding past actions against you.

He’s not actually doing anything wrong, and after a few repetitions it fades into the background. This kind of hand-wringing over a benign quirk is what’s over the top.
You know, I don’t get annoyed at the smell of cigarette smoke, music in restaurants, or barking dogs. But it would never occur to me to wag my finger at the people being annoyed rather than come down on the people that can easily stop doing that thing that is annoying so many people.
Great, it doesn’t bother you. that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t stop.
