Graeme writes: At work, I sit next to Clara. I have allergies, and when I visit her cubicle, I often have to blow my nose. I toss my tissues in her trash, which she finds revolting. Tissues have no smell, and I think her insistence that I return to my own cubicle to use the trash is unreasonable.

This court’s sinuses are also a disgusting phlegm factory, and so I extend my sympathy. It’s debilitating not only to have to fight with your own mucus day after day but also to know that you are grossing out the innocents around you. Or maybe you haven’t recognized that last part. While I agree your snot is odorless (I hope), it is still a viscous discharge from inside your head. It is a human right to limit how much of another person’s DNA is left behind in your own cubicle. Toss your tissues over the wall into your own cube next time.
