Honestly, I think he would probably love it if he could get rid of the issue as well....I am sure he is not choosing to do this. I would guess he has some kind of allergy problem or something. Sounds like you just need to learn to deal with it.

Seriously. If I were to play an audio recording of him burping, you’d never guess that what you were hearing was a human burp. The closest thing I can describe it as sounding similar to is a mix wolf growl and the croak of a dying bullfrog.

WTH that sounds horrible.

Two years ago, we had an undergrad do some shadowing in our company for a week and he would whistle all the time. When he applied for our summer internship, I had to pass because there's no way I could be subjected to that. I have always thought whistling was the height of torture, but now I'm grateful I don't have to work near some weirdo with a cough or esophageal issue!

Seriously, he doesn't go 10 seconds without doing it. I'm afraid to say anything in case he has turrets syndrome or something but good grief it's aggravating the shite out of me.


congrats on the anthrax

I work at an industrial valve company in Baton Rouge and this guy is three offices down from me yet all I hear, all day every day, is a CONSTANT clearing of his throat mixed in with coughing fits that legitimately make me feel like I should go check on him.

Yeah, I hear it, too, but I'm more interested in why you feel the need to post on this site while I'm paying you to work.

I work at a paper sales company and I'm tired of my co-worker bringing knives to work. His desk is almost within arm's reach of mine and there's no way he needs to have a drawer full of knives.

Start spraying Lysol all over your office. He'll get the hint.
