There is this exercise you can do, which will simply get rid of the problem.
You can do it once, or a couple of times until "the problem" goes away.

There are variations that you can do also.

My secret:

Lift your shoulders up to your ears, and lower them again.
variation 1: lift your arms up too
variation 2: say "Huh" while lifting the shoulders
variation 3: combine 1 & 2

You can learn from each comment people make, as long as the play ball and not the person. If it's the other way around, make them see.
(and of course, there's always a vinegar pisser somewhere; they can't help themselves)
