Open Letter to Sick People

[istewart]

Get the [censored] away from me.

Either spend a few days in a lab and find a cure for the common cold or quarantine yourselves in your bedroom from November to February. We do not need to hear your incessant coughing or disgusting sniffling, and neither should we have to.

That is all.

This applies to people with AIDS too but I figured that was a given.

I hate going to the movies in the winter because of this [censored]. Stay home, Sickly McSickerson.

[codewarrior]

Sorry, Squire, I think I gobbed on your carpet!

[astroglide]

My sentiments exactly.

The worst is when my friends feel a need to come into my office cube (not just up to it) to discuss some long drawn out story or the details of their illness. Please do not do this if you are sick.

[MonkeeMan]

This applies to degenerates too.

I never get sick. Some chick got me sick recently. Sucked. During my sickness (mild coughing / sneezing) I went to meet a friend at a coffee shop. Sat down at the only available table inside waiting for friend (there's a patio, but since I felt a little sick didn't wanna sit outside).

Only available table inside happened to be next to this family (young parents, 2 young kids). I sneezed, and the father looked at me apprehensively. And he asked "are you sick dude?". And I said "a little, but it's been a couple days I doubt I'm contagious if you're worried."

Then he said - "huh, OK that's cool man. Thing is, I mean, what's the ethical right move here?" And I said "huh?"

And he said "well if you're sick, and I don't wanna sit next to a sick person, should you move cause you're 1 person, or should I have to move my whole family?"

I just ignored him and then he moved his family. Am I a [censored]?

Also, when you sneeze, cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow.

Using your hands is quite counter-productive. Your hands get all over everything. I am wary of contact with anyone who I see using their hands for a sneeze.

WTF! Buy that damn troll a plane ticket! I cant belive they allow that.

This little [censored] is coughing every 2 minutes with that flem snapping baby cough. Right in my god damn face.

We havent even taken off yet. Its a 6 hour flight!!!

So I say to the mother how could you take that kid on this plane. So my girl hits me and tells me to be nice.

at least you're educated & knowledgeable about the threat this disease poses to you.

If you read the OP you would realize this has nothing to do with the threat of becoming sick, but moreso with being disgusted with those who are already sick.

[samjjones]

I have had a cold for weeks. I am out of vacation/sick days. Should I just allow myself to get fired? Or SISKCM?

I like when istewey makes a post that basically says "Hi, I'm doing this so that you overreact and respond with fury and vigor" and then people respond with fury and vigor.

I too, hate co-workers who come to work sick. We had some woman who was one of those natural medicine fools, which would have been nice if she'd actually followed the program and stayed at home and let her body heal naturally. Instead she game to work spewing snot and spreading her disease and wondering why her Goldenseal didn't do the trick.

The stupid [censored] in OOT is starting to resurface again after a couple weeks of being relatively dormant. You'd think people would know by now...

Who knows - I've never tried it but my buddy and boss swear by it. Airplanes are disgusting disease-ridden holes. I'm trying this Airborne [censored], downing a bunch of vitamin c pills and echinacea and zinc, and see what happens...

The correct answer was, "Well, you could either stifle your children under a blanket of parental protectiveness, stunting the growth of their brains so they become total wimps, or you could realize that life will throw a germ at them every once in a while and their system will be stronger for previous exposure. Your call, s**thead." Then, dump coffee in his lap and turn away, reading a paper.

[Victor]

you guys are all wimps and nits. if YOU dont want to get sick, maybe YOU should stay indoors.

[citanul]

i have now used this stuff on 2 flights without getting sick (or sicker) post flight. i'm going to give it 2 or 3 more flights of non-illness before calling it a success and then chalk it up to another good el diablo recommendation.

c

Reminds of a woman I used to work with who often called in sick to party/recover from hangovers. So one day she comes in with a with a lip that's swollen to four times normal size with weeping herpes sores all around her mouth. She actually had a legit reason to stay home sick and didn't. Nasty whore finally got sent home and everything she came in contact with was Lysoled.

[B Dids]

This is less about getting sick and more about finding that [censored] basically gross and nasty.
