    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.

    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.

    Theres nothing better than loudly coughing up a huge green one at lunch and watching everyone trying to continue eating as normal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    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.

    It's similar to the matrix in that no one can really be told what an e penis is, they have to see it for their selves.

    They're very similar o unicorns though. :p

    Littering their local greens with chunks of bread as well, I shouldn't wonder. Scumbags of the highest order.

    Or people who dont clear their throats when required. You know when you can hear that they need to clear it when they are talking, but they still keep doing the hoarsey-croaky thing? :mad:

    There is a person who works with me and has a horrible cough. They don't cover their mouth and you can usually hear them before you see them

    Oh god someone was walking around the corner in town and didn’t put their hand to their mouth when they coughed and I got a big dirty greener down the front of my jacket. :mad:

    I don't know how I'd react to that. Probably paralysed with rage


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera

    I was about 14 and started crying with the anger. Him rubbing it in to my jacket trying to get rid of it didn’t help.

    Nasty. Suffice to say, you've relayed a story that 'wins' the thread. Sometimes a withering look doesn't just do it in that instance.

    when i was a lad growing up in rural ireland , during mass , instead of praying along , the aul fellas at the back of the church would cough for a full three quaters of an hour , was like a back and forth tenis match , some would pull a hankey out of thier full length coat every so often and proceed to unleash a mighty flow


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera

    Once spat a greener down a woman's top by accident, i did apologise but what can you do really?

    I had coughed a nasty one up, and i just turned to spit it out, granted i should have used a tissue, or at least looked before turning to spit...anyway, down her top it went, nice summer's day. I even felt a bit sick seeing it.
