Thanks for NOT thinking of others...

I was treated to some fun exposure to illness when a young girl in church was being held by her Mother as she hacked without covering her mouth. Now, me personally, would not have brought one of my sick children into a church to spread the disease. Perhaps, I'm paranoid (just ask my wife), but I was pissed not only that she was there and sick, but that her parents didn't even make an attempt to ask her to at least cover her mouth. I was bobbing and weaving until my wife shot me a look of horror. I was simply trying to avoid getting sick and then infecting my family. After a while, the sick little girl began to cover her mouth and I thanked her for that. Am I crazy?

I happen to know you are a bit paranoid (think arrow in the woods):)

But, I agree, many people don't really think about blowing their germs all over the place. It's probably difficult to keep your kids in check with it but still...

Classic hat tip to the arrow...I still need to get Joe to back that story up!

Dude, you do the same thing!!! How many times do you come to work sick as a dog!? "I wake precautions"....yeah, the cubicle walls that stop at 5 ft are not viral barriers you tool. Every breath you take is matched by an equale exhale that permiates my air with millions of your infectious germs. The way you felt about that girl is how we feel about you when you roll in here, Typhoid Matty.

You are an idiot as usual jerk. The precautions I take if I come to work sick are as follows: always sneeze down and away to prevent germs from spreading, never touching anything not in my cube until I've washed my hands.

Colds are spread not from simply exhaling dummy, it's from the mucus that contains the virus/bacteria and that's only passed by either rubbing on a membrane or sneezing.

Good day sir.

Dear Dr. Stupid,

You sneeze down??? Sorry, I had no idea that you could competely direct all of you microscopic germs to one isolated area. I wonder how the maintenance person is that has to clean that petri dish experiment you now have under your desk you sick F. And you don't touch anything??? What about the bathroom door on the way in, or the printer you go to 500 times a day. Please let me know when your Molecular Directioning class starts....I'd like to sign up. I think it counts toward a BS in Moron.
