Interesting. So how many hours of desensitization did it take before they were cured?

Throwing off the shadow of a better man.
The 'clearing throat constantly' thing mentioned upthread might be tourettes, I used to know a guy who had that as a tic and I just thought he was trying to get a word in.

Maybe just ask coughing guy what's up?
It might be something he's not even aware of. Or it might be something he's self-conscious about because of how annoying it is for everyone else. You'll needle him about it, and he'll break down in big blubbery tears, wailing about how his wife left him and took the kids because of the constant coughing, the ceaseless fits of respiratory rage. His parents shun him, fearing his never-ending hack will reflect badly on them for providing him with an upbringing so bad that he never learned manners, or went without care so often he is chronically ill, or worse, he just has bad genes. And now, with him already a pariah at home, you set out from atop your high horse in the next cubicle over, and begin the grim quest of ostracizing him at work as well.

Or it might be that secret alcoholic thing, too.

Might have cystic fibrosis, op. Have you checked to see if he has a vas deferens? Is his pancreas insufficient? These are clues op

I used to work with a guy who'd clear his throat ALL loving DAY. It used to drive me absolutely crazy.

Anyway, turns out he has tourettes. He couldn't stop himself. Mind you, I can't stop myself being driven to blinding rage by it either.

I consulted the I Ching on this matter and got hexagram 23.

done it is not practical to make plans.
Have you tried removing his trachea?

OP could let go of (remove) his resentment then actually talk to the cougher about the problem.

this definitely concerns me OP. I don't know what to think anymore. part of what I love about these forums is the love and care we share for each other. I knew poo poo was hitting the fan when I heard someone on the forum caught it.

I heard their is no escape plan. They are building a loving DEATH STAR. I might get drafted someday, I am a paranoid schizophrenic with bi-polar type 2 with emotional problems. I love peace always.


If I were you. I would quit and quarantine immediately. I wil pray for you.

Tell your boss you don't feel comfortable working next to someone coughing all day during a pandemic and you're going to go home and apply for unemployment.

It's worse. Probably because I catch myself falling into it sometimes in casual conversation. If part of my job involved public speaking though I would definitely be more enthusiastic about stamping it out.

I have a feeling that when (if) quarantine ever gets lifted people who cough constantly in an open floor plan office will get written up and fired on a flimsy pretense even faster than if they started talking about unionizing
