Co-workers coughing

Sometimes when I'm at work and a male co-worker coughs, I can't help but think that that is how they sound when the doctor is giving them a hernia exam. Is it just me or do others picture co-workers in this vulnerable position when you hear them coughing?

That's an interesting thought. Had not looked at it that way. But now that you mention it, it is hot. Don't know that I'll ever hear a guy cough the same way again.

It's not something that I've really thought about before. But now that you mention it, it will be something that I'll probably pay more attention to going forward.

Yes! I think about that often. Co-workers and friends especially.

I always want others to cough into their elbow, or turn their heads away from me and others. It's just common courtesy and evidence that they consider other people as possibly contracting their cough. Those that just cough right out in the open are oafs and I look at them as uneducated rednecks.

I haven't really thought of this, though I do think of what's happening to the individual in the exam room when I hear him cough from the hallway. 😉
