    At least you arent stuck in a workplace where someone sings along to the radio and reckons themselves pretty good at it. But hey the radio only plays the same dozen songs about 50 times a day.

    My sanity is like a frayed rope right now.

    People cough OP, it's a natural occurence and if the person has a cough or cold then they're going to be cough all the time, it's uncontrollable in that regard,

    A guy I knew at worked was phlegmed up like this every day of the year! I was always tempted to tell him to just give it one big cough and it'd all be okay:pac:. Surely his issue was more than that though..

    People who don't cover coughs and in particular, sneezes, appall me.

    Snifflers. A guy beside me on the dart the other day kept sniffling, not with a runny nose but clearly with significant thick phlegm build up blocking his entire nose and I think his throat was quite phlegmy too. He kept doing bit huge disgusting sniffs, swallowing it, and then letting out a big deep breath. On a crowded train!

    So I was going to offer him a tissue to try to hint to him to blow his nose, but his mate offered him one before I got the chance. I was so relieved. He said "oh yeah thanks I'd love one", his mate gave him one, he wiped the very bottom of his nose and put the thing in his pocket, and continued his disgusting germ filled sniffs.

    I get that some people don't want to give their nose a big blow in public, because it can sound a bit disgusting, but his sniffs were so gross, I could hear him swallowing his phlegm, ugh. I'm not squeamish but it was just so ridiculous and unhygenic.

    It's the over he top sneezing that only annoys me. I really think some blokes treat a sneeze like an e penis! Next time one of the lads in work make an over the top sneeze I'd be tempted to look them up and down, then stare into their eyes and say, "wow, your penis must be huge... Are you married?" :P

    Yeah theyre doing it simply to annoy you and absolutely nothing to do with the probable chest/throat infection they have.
