British Etiquette.

British Etiquette-first let me say that this has been exported with various degrees of success to many countries around the world.

These days, what it consists of, mainly, is coughing and sniffing.
Of course, coughing is a natural response to throat irritation. What I am talking about is fake coughing.
Fake? Do grown human beings actually have so little self-esteem that they actually go round pretending to cough?
Yes!

Why on Earth would they do that?
Well, after years of research into decoding the events generated by these sad little people, I have determined that the fake cough is supposed to be unanswerable attack/criticism, which, by sheer repetition, is designed to break the spirit of the victim.

It is so clever!Are they coming or are they going?They do it (most often) behind one's back, to remain unseen.
So they are all pathetic cowards then?Doubly so, since they are imitating something natural, and doing it out of sight?
Apparently.
Sometimes they 'cough' when you are not looking, particularly if you are doing something requiring concentration, to try and make you have an accident.

So, to sum up, then, these 'people' (I use the term loosely) are pathetic, cowardly, snivelling scum, who are incapable of any form of beneficience or honesty, truly vicious and thoroughly corrupt, that turn the social climate of any society they infest into a cesspool of bitterness, hatred and defeat.
They make this country a country of angry cowards.

Apparently.
