Throat full of phlegm (Lighthearted!)

[KnitSewCrochet]

AIBU to want to commit GBH on the next person I have to listen to on the radio or TV who start off speaking in a totally normal tone of voice but end up talking through a throat full of gravelly phlegm and make zero effort to clear their throat?

Just been listening to radio 4 and ended up screaming "FFS COUGH!!!!!" at this mornings culprit - I could barely hear what he was saying by the end of the interview though it might have just been the rage preventing me from listening ....... and breathe!!!

I have to switch off. Live TV with someone coughing or worse, trying not to. It's awful.

I would rather they disappeared for a few seconds, had a good cough, a drink of water and then come back.

I can sort of understand if the person is trying not to cough because they're not very well (though it is still a major irritation and makes me want to reach for the to hit them over the head with, I don't drink ), but my major rage is directed at those who just are like this all the time. How they stay in a relationship is beyond me

There was an episode of Loose Women where one of them, I forget who coughed and coughed. They should have sent her out.
