There's a new guy at my job who sits a few cubicles over. He's a compulsive throat clearer. About once every minute he needs to clear his throat in a very loud and disgusting manner. It will be quiet in the office and then you hear this sound which can only be described as being similar to the sound that a dog makes when it barks under its breath (if you have a dog you'll know what I mean).
At first I thought he just had a cold or something but after the weeks and now months passed I realized that he just does this out of habit. It's extremely annoying. It sounds like he's hocking up a loogie each time, and it has a nasal element to it as if he's clearing mucus out of his nose and throat at the same time. The sound is also identical each time so this guy has it down to a routine. Every minute or so the silence breaks with a loud, "Mmmm-hmccckkkth"
He seems nice enough so I don't want to say anything, but at the same time after hearing it all day I want to go over there and give him the blanket treatment like in Full Metal Jacket.
