Coughing

You've been there before. watching TV, on the computer or reading a book. Then suddenly *cough*

You look up, ignore it then look down again. *cough* *cough* *cough* ok, that's a little bit annoying, but it can't be helped. Then, after being lulled into a false silence, the bombardment starts. A continuous string of coughing that just can't be ignored. It feels like it won't end, it feels like it'll go on forever. You know it can't be helped, but it still drives you crazy. You just want to shove a strepsil down their throats, but you don't because that would be rude. The only thing is, once you've caught the cough that they've catapulted at you, you don't find it annoying, until, you realize just how much you're coughing. Once you're aware of your coughing, you can't help but think how much you're annoying other people, its a nightmare.
