Annoying Co-Worker Habits

[Blue_Frog]

Yuk, that grosses me out too. Perhaps you could ask your HR person. Sometimes they can be like an intermediary in situations that might be uncomfortable.

Or, perhaps if you see this person, you could casually say something like: "Sounds like you have a pretty nasty cold. I have found that the kleenexes with aloe in them are more soothing to my nose than others, and my nose doesn't get as red from blowing. Have you tried them?"



**hugs**

HR really doesn't work, since they're offsite and not very approchable, but I might try the kleenex idea if this keeps up. Thanks for the *hugs* - definately needed!

Okay I have the same problem and have griped about it on here a few times! We did go to HR, they talked to him and he got better for a bit...then started up...

This happens with two people and they are both from another country. It is completely disgusting.

I have that problem too, except they do it directly in my ear via headphones!!! I almost threw up once because a doctor snorted back someting horrid and the sound almost did me in, and I don't have the option of NOT listening to it. Some doctors are SO rude, some eat, fart, cough, blow their noses, etc right in our ears!!! They sometimes drift off and carry on conversations with other people like we aren't sitting there waiting to type the patient report. By the far the worst ever was the snot sucker though...I was gagging. I feel your pain! I don't know what you can do about it, but maybe the tissues would be a nice idea=x heh

Yuck, that sounds disgusting. I hate it when people come to work when they really should just stay home. Instead they come and make everyone miserable and potentially infect everyone else with their illness. Sorry you have to hear that all day long.
