Annoying Co-Worker -- FML

The women in the cube next to me constantly clears her throat. Every 30seconds or so for most the day. From time to time it almost makes me gag because it sounds like she is coughing up bucket loads of phlegm.

I'm not looking to inconvenience myself to get over the annoyance, but I have to find a way to make her stop. I have tried nuking her from orbit, but the nuke went off course and hit the front desk lady.

ATOT WHAT CAN I DO?!
 
Record her and present her with the recording anonymously. Title it Phlegmtastic Phail and use an audio proggie to goose the sounds of her sticky throat eruptions.
 
I have a lady who does a similar thing except its with the snot in her nose. Rather than blowing her nose she just sniffs it all back up in there. thankfully I am away from my desk alot

Edit: Nuke from orbit - its the only way to be sure you won't have to deal with it again
 
I have a friend who has a constant, disruptive, nasty cough. But, once I found out she had a life-threatening medical condition, I stopped worrying about it inconveniencing me.

If that was the case, maybe this women shouldn't be @ work. But it's not the case, this women is annoying in more ways than one.
 
Immitate the sound everytime you hear it. It will make her very aware of how annoying the snd is to others who are not making the snd.

Headphones man.

I tune out everything all day long.

The guy next to me uses headphones. I'm debating if this is a good idea.

I'd hate for my boss to have to tap me to get my attention.
