Somebody in the office (who apparently also is sitting directly BEHIND me today) is CONSTANTLY SUCKING IN THEIR SNOT! Like just blow your damn nose! It's disgusting to hear you constantly sucking it in!!!! It's driving me up a wall and I only noticed it 5 mins ago but it's happened multiple times in those 5 minutes and I'm losing my mind already...it's only 9:30...it's going to be a longgg day.

In all innocence, offer them a tissue!

I don't have one! hahah And I feel like it would be obvious if I turned around and went "sorry dude, do you need me to grab you some kitchen roll/toilet paper?"

Do it.  Be nice and get them a tissue or something.  Chat to them for a minute - it will make them seem human to you so that your homicidal tendencies subside.

Failing that - ear plugs - either for your ears or their nose.

and always remember, Bingle Jells!

I rarely get a cold, but if I did my nose runs like a firehose. Instead of sucking noises there would be honking noises. Is there a preference? ;D

Honking assumes you are blowing your nose and this is acceptable. :)

My OH will move seats on a bus, train, restaurant...like immediately, the first time he hears someone sniff.  If that's not possible, the iPod and ear buds go in.  And it *that's* not possible... nigh on homicidal rage!

I at least don't feel like the biggest jerk. My line manager noticed it later in the day when the guy came back and she literally went "THAT'S DISGUSTING!" (I was at least polite enough to silently stew!) and I nearly burst out laughing. He's back again today and I'm not the only one he's driving up a wall as everybody is noticing and thinking it's gross. I feel bad for the guy as I don't think he realises that it's grossing everybody out (unless, and it's not unlikely, he heard my line manager).

Bring them to a care home?

But surely they didn't cancel on the day?!  They couldn't give you enough warning that you saved yourself the trouble?  Rude.

I'm annoyed.  Not going to lie.  Had a babysitter too (husband's work party is tonight).  Good shout about the care home.   I wonder if they'll take them?  I know my kids nursery can't take homemade (healthy and safety is pretty out of control, but o get it).
