Good morning, Blog world. I have an issue that I just need to express and maybe get some assistance on how to handle. I work in an office setting as the front desk receptionist. How can I non-aggressively, but quite assertively, without being too mean about it......stop a person from coughing and spittin their germs all over me and my space. I also recently put a sticky note on my phone telling others to not pick up and/or use my phone - at all. I put on the note "caution, strep throat, don't use my phone" - you think that will get their attention??

This morning, a woman came into the office, and as soon as she approached my area, let out a series of nasty coughs and spurts and didn't even say excuse me. I just stood back away from my desk with this half-ass frown on my face, until she decided to not cough up a lung all over my floor.

I'm sure she lit up her cigarette as soon as she left the building...........
