Poll of the Day > There's this manager who clears her throat in the most obnoxious way possible.

(+) Yeah! (+)

She basically oversees the entire operation of the employees on the floor. She is most of the reason why I put on headphones at my desk. Sometimes, the songs that I choose to play have parts where they go soft. Sometimes, she clears her throat during those parts. It is at that point that I groan rather loudly, and strike my desk out of anger and irritation. What do you message-board folk suggest I do, besides get therapy for my misophonia?

I must have these answers.

Jesus fucking Christ, guy

Is she hot? arvs asking for a friend

Record this mating call and play here so I can Find Anything Pernicious about the offending behavior.

I don't understand the reaction. I didn't even write anything that even approached the length of what you Internet-goers refer to as a "wall of text".

Just get therapy. Being frustrated to the point of physically lashing out over having your music momentarily drowned out in a public setting isn't healthy for you or anyone around you.

As a stop-gap measure, noise-cancelling headphones may help, but don't stop there.

You misunderstand. I put on music for the sole purpose of drowning out the sound of her clearing her throat. I will refer you to this part of my opening post.

In that case, being frustrated to the point of physically lashing out over occasionally hearing an annoying sound you're otherwise able to avoid isn't healthy for you or anyone around you. The conclusion doesn't change.

I seriously doubt that a therapist could help me at this point. It'd be too costly, besides. In any case, up until recently, I had not envisaged myself staying in my current role for as long as I have. It was only recently that I decided that I had plans for myself, and that staying would be my best course of action. Once I knew that I'd be living with the noise for a little while longer, I realized that I had to do something to tolerate it. It sort of was my fault that I didn't do this earlier. Friday will not come quickly enough.
