    The dude sitting in the next cubicle over from me will not stop coughing. I'm not talking about a couple light coughs here and there. I mean he is HACKING his guts up every 30 seconds. A loud, hoarse, revoltingly wet sounding hack of a cough that is making me not want to eat my lunch. I don't want to be too critical, because I have come to work sick before just hoping to wade through my symptoms and not take time off, but if you sound like he does, you need to take your ass to the doctor or just home and rest.

    I didn't go to work today because of cough/cold/soar throat/runny nose. I could have easily gone, but I thought about what I'd have to put my coworkers through. Even if I was quiet, chances are I'd probably give what I had to them. I'll rest up today and be almost back to normal tomorrow.

    Nah, I don't even know if he smokes, but this is the first day he has coughed like this, so it has got to be a sickness thing.

    Keep an eye on him and keep a sword or hatchet handy. He may have the Zombie Plague.

    Hopefully you don't catch what he has. At least the cubicles are some protection. Maybe check the direction of airflow? Then panic?

    Hmm...or maybe I'll just use that as an excuse and go ahead and kill him now.

    Coughing is awful. I once got off a plane because the guy behind me was hacking up a lung. If I were you, I'd tell a supervisor and get this person to go home.

    Can you fit one of these in the office? If so, it ought to solve the problem.

    its really inconsiderate to go to work sick

    you are risking the health of everyone around you

    tell your supervisor and get him sent home

    Just go over there and ask him if he wants some cough drops, decongestant, kleenex, or anything else. Comment on how he sounds like he's dying and he should probably take a half-day off.

    Then go tell the manager if he blows you off.

    Hell, he'd probably thank you for it.

    So I'm at work and am coughing loudly, HACKING my guts up every 30 seconds. A loud, hoarse, revoltingly wet sounding hack of a cough that is probably going to make my co-workers not want to eat their lunch. I think I should go to the doctor but i don't know wut to do....wut should i do clutchfans?

    There’s some old hag on the other side of the floor that is CONSTANTLY coughing every single day. It’s one of those coughs that sounds like her insides are turning inside-out. Just absolutely disgusting. She’s a smoker. I mean, the whole floor talks about her and her disgusting cough. I feel sorry for the people who sit right by her. You think she would figure out that everyone hates her and do something about that ridiculous cough.

    that's your girlfriend. you can put up with that because she is your girlfriend. this is an inconsiderate co-worker who is a burden on society and should be.... how do you say... "put down immediately"
