And this is why I don’t miss going into the office.

Loop earplugs might help, so sorry!

Maybe you can offer a coughdrop every time she does it so that she's at least aware that she's audible and it does impact her coworkers.

Probably GERD, OP. Not much you can do.

You must work with my mom. It drives me crazy. She does not notice it either. It’s her allergies and already takes meds, did the shots and there is not much more she can do.

Those two are not the same thing.

All of this is workplace harassment

(i'm only partially joking. They would drive me mad too)

It could be a tic also. Regardless it is medical so you can't punch her.

Talk to a psychiatrist

This me right now. I'm sorry. I'm taking meds to combat the stupid postnasal drip that's causing it.

Ask to be moved. Wear noise-canceling headphones.

She probably doesn't even realize she's doing it. I had a similar coworker. I had to teach myself to tune it out. It worked, it just takes time. Now I can easily tune out annoying background noises and it's great.

Every single day. It's driving me insane. Like, I actually have visions of punching her in the face

What the hell can I do?
