A member asked:

My father is 68 years old and keep on producing voice from throat like clearing plflem which is so irritating for me.i don't know why it irritates me?

Personal preferences: Good question. There are some things that some find annoying but do not bother others at all. If this is important to you a good clinical psychologist may be able to have you realize the origin of this dislike, or at least help you to deal with it. Hope this works out ok.
