They either have a tick, allergy or some other reason and it probably bothers them more than it bothers you.

Do you prefer them to just quietly suffer and die to save you from mild annoyance?

These are most likely ticks. I know at least two people like that. One is my friend and another is my child.

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

Suck it up, buttercup.

Seek psychiatric medication or therapy to improve your ability to focus your attention ignore important noises.

+1M and clearing my throat is the least of my health issues

Its understandable that it can be annoying but also understandable that its not a choice or a hobby.

I do sometimes get a dry nose/throat when nervous, which makes me have to throat clear more.

If people stopped throat clearing, it would make their voices sound funny or they might choke on their own mucous. What a ridiculous request. Put in ear plugs if you don't like it.

It's annoying for sure.

For many people it's also a tic.

My kid had this in mid elementary school and it was a very trying time. It will occasionally resurface very mildly.

I am sorry that it bothers you and others, but believe me, we tried a lot and spent a lot and at the end of the day, it's just a medical thing.

Also, consider not being a jerk. This might require informing yourself and being empathetic.

Omg it’s horrendous! My husband does this every few minutes but he does it with a VERY loud startling yell almost. It’s so indicative of him because I have asked him to try to do it quietly or to do something about it or go to a doctor or something and he just gets angry and continues.
I actually had to start sleeping in a separate room because he is so inconsiderate in this and many other ways that I couldn’t sleep well

Have you considered (since you’re so considerate yourself) that he isn’t doing it on purpose to piss you off?

Because sometimes there is nothing you CAN do about it. Believe me, I’ve been to every doctor out there. I would love to stop having a tickle in my throat. It is what it is.

Bullshit.

Gargle.
Neti pot
Allergy meds
Deviated septum surgery
Lozenges

DO SOMETHING

Please tell me what that something is. My son has Tourettes and I would LOVE to know what that something is.

If you’ve tried all else, try neurogistics. It’s a company that treats things like Tourette’s through brain chemistry analysis.
