School parent deliberately coughing on me every morning

A school parent keeps deliberately coughing on me. We stand outside the gates and then in the play ground waiting to go in and they don’t cough for all that time. But As soon as they are next to me they fake cough really loud without covering their mouth or they deliberately clear their throat really loud behind me. This keeps happening every morning. I feel like it’s a way of trying to bully me without speaking to me. What would you do?

Just move away?

Or next time, turn around, give him your most withering stare and say "Excuse you." Or "Would you mind covering your mouth next time?"

Personally, I find it very unlikely that a man would be singling out a woman he's never interacted with, to "bully" with fake coughing.

I've had a man do it to me so I don't find it unlikely at all.

Some men are like this, unfortunately.
