Help Required - Etiquette Situation

[hawkeye23]

Hi Guys,

There's a dude in my office (O-F-F-I-C-E, not orifice) who insists on violently and loudly sucking back his snot every 60-90 seconds or so, rather than using a tissue. It is making me feel physically ill. How does one go about either asking him to stop, or getting him to use a tissue or hanky, without offending him?

Howsabout: "Get a fucking tissue you disgusting pig!"

Alternatively, nick down to the local 7/11 and buy him a box. Look, I'm a chronic hay-fever sufferer but I try like hell to not constantly sniff. It's terrible.

That was my favoured option, but probably isn't very appropriate in an office environment, especially in these days of political correctness.

I also considered sending a politely worded email. It's a precarious situation.....

Laz, in addition to fixing your shithouse HTML coding once again, I say to you, with all the love and respect in the world, "go fuck yourself".

I may say 'get a fucking tissue you pig' at home, as I am not being paid to be there, but I am less likely to behave the same at work.

However, in all honesty, I do not believe it will be very long before the anguished cry of "Get a fucking tissue you disgusting animal" is heard in an office building on St Kilda road.

[Captain Sensible]

I suppose it's completely out of the question to resolve it in a polite manner? Something along the lines of "Would you mind blowing your nose please"?

Not at all. I just don't want to embarrass him or me. It's a delicate balance.

[PowerKat]

Just hand him a few tissues - no need to say anything. He may not have any, regardless of which he should be able to read between the lines so to speak.

Of every 15 times he sucks back snot loogies, he uses a tissue once. So it's not like he doesn't know what tissues are for. I don't know what this fucktard's problem is. He's also one of those chronic throat clearers. Makes me want to chunder.

go postal on his arse

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

My approach is usually to walk up, drop a box of tissues on their desk and say:

"Dude. Tissues."

It is like ripping off a band-aid. You can either worry at it and endure the drawn-out pain, or just rip it off quickly.

Well I'll be buggered if I'm going to sacrifice a family box of expensive 3 ply aloe vera tissues. Might get some cheaper ones on the way to work tomorrow and dump them. Fuck it, he's only here on contract anyway.

Oh for fucks sake. He doesn't have a go at you for being an eyesore does he? Lay off snot man.

And you are of course a fucking oil painting, aren't you?

[BrunoMuscatelli]

And you are of course a fucking oil painting, aren't you?

Your a lard arse i gather? You whinge like a fucken man all the time about fucken everything. If you were my fucken wife i would arse penetrate you to shut you the fuck up.

Now leave slimy mucas man alone. Every man has a right to let his snot slowly drip from his insides to a point where he can suck it all back up for fucks sake!

[Captain Sensible]

Tell the dirty cunt to blow his nose.

[crackers57]

Sage advice

[SonOfReep]

Strong clique ITT

[Phwoar Lap]

Purely a gross thread.

Tell the wanker who is doing that to go to the bathroom and blow his nose.

[burny]

You tell 'em Sooz, if the problem hasn't cleared up in over 4 years then your solution will do the trick!

Sounds like someone who is a downright cheapskate who has absolutely no sense of personal hygiene at all.

Yuck....:thumbsd:

[Harold Assman]

Its like when motherfuckers are having an iced coffee in a local cafe and need to slurp with every teaspoon. Harold get the urge to run some glass in their face.

[Blitzer]

Slurping pisses me off something chronic, no need for it at all. And was this sniffer a gook? They have never seen a hanky in their life, i remember when i was doing exams i had sniffing in stereo.

And the other thing that can go and get fucked is people walking around whistling. I swear i'm going to kick the next prick in the nuts who i hear whistling for no reason (in the cunt if it's a bird)

[Latte with one]

Why do you hate whistling so much?

U mad?

[Latte with one]

Some of them are quite talented and this is coming from someone who has failed at every attempt to try to whistle in his life.

It's not as annoying as some people say it is.

[Blitzer]

U mad?

Fuck yeah i'm mad, it drives me up the wall! The cleaner at our work, nice bloke but he whistles ALL FUCKING DAY. Sometimes i'll talk to him so he'll shut up but the minute the convo is over, away he goes again.

And i don't give a fuck how talented they are, gun guitarists don't walk around all day playing guitar do they?

And the ads on radio that have a whistled theme song, and when it comes on at work and people whistle along with it...... :mad: :mad: :mad:

And no shit, right on cue, the fucking Foxtel ad (with the whistled theme song) comes on, FML!!!!!

[Guy Incognito]

You should probably just give up Ben.

You've never lived with a guitarist have you? Because they do.

Yes, my energy should be used elsewhere. :thumbsu:

Join the Navy.

By tradition, the only time anyone is allowed to whistle in the Navy is the Cook on Christmas day.

[Blitzer]

You've never lived with a guitarist have you? Because they do.

I mean walk the streets and walk around the workplace playing guitar. I play guitar myself and play all the time and annoy the missus (cause i'm so shit) but i don't do it in public. For one thing, i'm sure i'd get egged!

In fact that's not a bad idea, the next cunt who walks past me whistling i'm going to egg! Last time he'll ever do that! :thumbsu:

[Lach72]

6 months in a leaky boat...

Just as well Ben isn't in this band.

They're so out of tune with society.

They can be quite picky.

Yeah love that show, i forgive the theme song though cause it's a great show and wogs get called wogs on it as it should be! :thumbsu:

And my mate's a lead guitarist, he's such a whinger, it's just wah wah wah out of him.

Sooz I'm beginning to think that you're under the impression you're going to umpire training when in fact you're attending activities organised by the Endeavour Foundation. How short is the bus you lick the windows of on the way home?
