Need a nice way of saying "Stopping suck snot back into your nose"

[JohnMitchell 16]

Arrogant is tough when they are in a position of power above you. Maybe it's time to get his boss in the loop. Maybe it's just the cubicle circle of Hell from which there is no escape. Try earplugs and the big gun shooting ear protectors. Go fart next to his cubicle. Claim that it's a health issue with you. You just can't help it.

Is there an attractive female coworker that could tell him she's grossed out by it all? Most arrogant guys can't stand to be thought of as less than hunky by any attractive woman. After all, they are the shit, right? Maybe that would shame him into acceptable behavior.

Are you working in the IT field? It seems to have more than its share of anti social, Asperger's type behavior.

I do have earplugs and gunmuffs. Unfortunately, I'm now involved in support (i.e., I have to answer phones sometimes, ...yes, I in IT). Hadn't thought about the fart idea. I like it.

Here's my thoughts as of now in dealing with this:

1) Buy him tissues, and personally give them to him. Make sure he understands blowing snot out is better than sucking it back in (...I wish I could find the scientific word for sucking snot back in. I know it's expectorate for blowing it out...)

2) Ask my big boss for advice in dealing with the issue, if it continues. That act alone will probably end up in her dealing with it. My understanding is, she likes me, though I'm loathe to test that theory.

Thanks much for the advice.

E-mail him from a HOTMAIL account, every time that he does it and cc his boss.

Go buy a set of ear protection and tape the receipt to the box of tissues, highlighting the purchase and send him a nice respectful note saying that you would like the money refunded to you.

OR bill the human resorces department for them for work place safety materials.
That will get the attention of SOMEONE . . .

Very nice idea. Now we're thinking outside the box. :)

Hand him a tissue and say politely..."I've been a skydiver for a while now and feel I have a pretty fair understanding of the laws of gravity....but thanks for the demonstration, anyway."

"T'was ever thus."
