There are two guys in my office who have consistently throughout this winter sucked thier lozenges so loud they are audible several cubes over.

There should be laws against this kind of psychological torture. It seems they wait until you're concentrating on something before popping one in.

My inclination toward non-violence is being sorely tested. They may soon feel my almighty wrath!!!

That's the solution of choice for the near cubes but I'm mobile between three rooms and the idea of wearing something while rushing back and forth isn't appealing.

 
there is a guy at my work that whistles constantly. He doesn't even know he does it, and he does it because he has throat problems and this helps it (?).

Annoys the HELL out of me. Add that to the other girl that whenever she talks makes me want to shove pens in my ears.

Thank goodness for my headphones.
 
That's when you get up and slug them in the stomach so they start choking on the lozenges, and warn them that if they persist in pissing you off you'll shove the entire bag of cough drops down their throats.

*edit*

or you could just ask them nicely to suck their drops more quietly. That might actually work.

That option has already been tried I assure you. Both nicely and not so nicely. It works for a couple of days and then the schlurping begins again.
