[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for most people it’s a nervous habit they don’t realize they do and when it’s pointed out, even kindly, they blame allergies, a cold, etc. The habitual nature becomes obvious to others when the volume and/or clearing activity increases with stress or other factors.

This is the kind of throat-clearing that makes people crazy, and in an intense workplace, it really is a problem. I understand moms of kids with anxiety worry--clearly genetic, but things like throat clearing and constant humming and singing, really should not and cannot be tolerated in a workplace where the vast majority of people aren't doing that and need to be able to focus. To those who are defending it: imagine a nurse or anesthesiologist standing in surgery throat clearing the entire time. A lab assistant in the middle of a research project. Even a co-worker in the next cube over while working on a difficult coding project. It's not fair and needs to be treated.[/quote]

Well said. [/quote]
