stop clearing your throat!

[Anonymous]

ppl who do this: what gives? is it a nervous habit? constant phlegm? do you realize you're doing it? Do you realize it drives everyone else crazy?

Yes it drive me crazy. And yes i do it when i have to. Its seasonal post nasal phlegm that irritates my throat for weeks. I use cough drops and tea etc. nothing really helps.

I bet there's a habit you have that annoys others.

Nervous habit - maybe
Constant phlegm - maybe
Do they realize they’re doing it - probably not
Do you realize it drives everyone crazy - it doesn’t drive everyone crazy, just people who fixate on it like you. Get some earplugs or leave the room, they probably can’t help it.

no, everyone in the office talks to each other about it. We can't wear earplugs or leave.

OP you have zero tolerance for those who have anxiety or issues they can't control or have a hard time controlling. You make me feel bad for my highly anxious kid, knowing that such intolerant people like you still exist.

Like a lot of things, this is only annoying when it's constant in my opinion. Same with coughing or the sniffles. This is actually how I determine if my kids (or I) are too sick with a cold to be in public. If we'd be coughing, sniffling, or clearing our throats so frequently it would be annoying, stay home. If you're down to the occasional sniffle or cough, but it's like once every couple hours or something, not continuous, you can be around other people.

If you all talk about it you probably dislike this person to begin with.

Nobody is clearing their throat because they want to and think it’s fun.

Side effect of my medication. I will tell my doctor I won't take it anymore.

Something annoys everyone. I'm sure you do something that annoys people.

Suck it up, buttercup.
