    I got a real dirty look from a woman in a shop yesterday as i waited patiently behind them for them to finish browsing, so that I could have my turn. I was happy to wait, but as a smoker and it being cold, sometimes I need to clear my throat, which I did with a light throat cough (masked, of course).

    She pirouettes around and just glares at me, presumably thinking I was hurrying them along all passive aggressively.

    A different type of pardon me, i appreciate.

    • Coughing in public is a bit of a crime. Nervous tickle is torturemisterhow
    • ha mister, I've had the tickly throat thing a few times in a supermarket, you feel like a leper.fadein11
    • it's a common covid era response. She looked to see if you have the virus.Beeswax
    • No, that's a different look. Much like sneezing on a bus.Nairn
