Syncronized office sniffing

[melonfruit]

I know I absolutely am being unreasonable and irrational, excuses are lack of sleep and some other stuff going on at home at the moment blah blah blah, but am I being unreasonable for wanting to cut my ears off so I don't have to hear CONSTANT sniffing in the office??

It's a small office, there are four of us in today and 2 of said workers are currently partaking in synchronized sniffing and I am SO irritated by it and about to bang my head against a wall. I do actually feel for them, not being well sucks but it's been going on all day and seemingly not once has anyone thought about the existence of tissues.

Side note I am finally going on honeymoon in just over 2 weeks and I'm so worried about getting ill for it - in case you can't tell already I am a bit of a germaphobe.

Oh my gosh full sympathy to you, it really bothers me too. We’ve all been there with a runny nose - but I personally go to the toilets to blow the hell out of my nose as often as I can get away with to avoid the constant sniffling.

man on the train the other day was sniffing every 2-4 seconds without fail. I nearly cried lol

The sound of constant sniffing is vile. It's likely to be seen as a passive aggressive tactic but have you tried asking them if they need a tissue? Or even just plonking a box of tissues on their desk?! They're rude enough to sit there sniffing their own snot in front of you, I don't think they can complain if you subject them to what they may perceive to be the indignity of being handed a box of tissues!!
