Cough

Alright, so.  My roommate, Phil, is autistic.  A highly functional case of Asperger's Syndrome.  He goes to the bathroom and harrumphs and coughs and hacks for long periods of time.  I hear every single sound, and I can't stand it any more.  I bought him honey lemon and chamomile cough drops tonight, and strongly suggested he check them out.  I feel bad, because you're not really supposed to criticize the sounds people make in the bathroom. That's private.  But, Phil's moved to harrumphing in the kitchen.  So, I feel I can approach it.  I don't want to be mean.  He's a harmless guy.  But he's incredibly annoying.  I share a bathroom with him.  The Lucky Soap I buy for 99 cents is, I guess, not his style.  We've got two bottles of handsoap on the bathroom sink.  One, mine.  Cheap and delightful smelling.  His, expensive.  Also, delightfully smelly.  I don't understand.  The handsoap at Whole Foods(which is the only place Phil shops) has to be at least $5 a pop.  And I've tried to explain to him the idea of switching off getting household items for the apartment.  I don't know why it hasn't sunk in.  Am I a bitch?  Sometimes, I feel like a bitch.
