    How irritating?

    The guy sitting next to me keeps coughing what sounds like the beginnings of a massive grotter. Only a short, sharp rasp, but it happens about 3 times a minute.
    We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it.

        I don't think that's going to help

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            Sounds very sensible to me. Its the least he deserves.

              Be kind.

              Go to the shop, buy some extra strong flu stuff and convince him to drink it.

              It works if at least 3 people offer him various concoctions infront of each other.

                  I know what you mean - I used to have to sit next to a guy who used to make a kind of small cough/noise to clear his throat. He did it almost every breath. I beat him to death with his laptop after about a month.
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!

                    The pelvic thrusts might help dislodge the blockage though.
