I have a coworker that sits near me and i swear all this Mofo does is clear his throat every 30 seconds Thank god i work from home tommorrow. Is it normal for people to clear their throat every day every 30 seconds? This is why you work from home full time I mean its not like i can give him a cough drop or something. Any sugguestions other than asking the boss let me work from home full time?

You wouldn’t have this problem if you didn’t work in a cubicle

Tell your boss that it’s interupting your TD time.

Yeah so then he can start hacking up crap for the rest of the week. I'm gonna locate my headphones and listen to some music to drown him out.

YouTube- Let Me Clear My Throat

Tell your coworker you found a cool video and play it loud or ask them to come watch.

He might have reflux. Give him a Zantac.

My boss clears his throat constantly throughout the day. It's a small office, so we all work in the same room in cubicles. However, he only clears his throat when he is talking, so it is not that bad. I do cringe a little when he is talking directly to me and clears his throat in the middle of our conversation. I feel your pain and the only thing I can suggest is headphones and an anonymous note left on his desk with some cough drops.
