    Workplace dilemma

    The bloke next to me won't stop sniffing. How can I tactfully tell him to blow his nose?
    ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

    Buy him some kleenex and tell him to go to the toilet.

      Speaking from personal experience only, I’d suggest asking him politely what is causing the sniff as he could be purely attention seeking and a hypochondriac . Hay fever can be very unpleasant and I’d suggest showing some empathy. Failing this, buy your co-worker a mini Kleenex pack on your way home tonight to show your compassion.
      This too will pass.

        Punch him on the nose.

          Politely ask him to get it sorted. You a man or a mouse.

          Don't have to be rude, but if its affecting your concentration then needs rectifying.
          Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

            Much as I hate to agree with him.............

            Perhaps start with a verbal enquiry first, "Hoy C**T, will you stop that f*****g sniffing. it's getting right on my tits".

            If that doesn't work, see above.

              Typical bedwetter approach. 'Excuse me c**t'. Real men punch first and ask questions later.

                Grab two pencils ram them up his nose then force his head down on the desk so the pencils pierce his brain. You might not get extended after this.

                  If it is annoying your client manager as well you might just get a rate rise.

                    Start sniffing as well, getting louder and louder over a period of an hour and then hawk up a big green gilbert. Spit it into your hankie, look at it and say "Ah, thats much better."
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
