And now, a public service announcement.
DEAR WORLD,
WHEN YOU ARE SICK:
DO NOT GO TO CHURCH
DO NOT GO SHOPPING
DO NOT GO TO EAT OUT
DO NOT GO TO WORK
DO NOT GO TO BUY GROCERIES
DO NOT GO TO THE MOVIES
DO NOT PASS GO
DO NOT EVEN PASS THROUGH YOUR FRONT DOOR.
TL;DR:
DON'T DO IT, FAGGOT.
To the person who goes to church even though they're suffering so much!1 :(, because they want everyone to see what a HOMIGOSH MARTYR! they are...
To the person who is bored, wants to go see a movie, and pops a Dayquil to make them feel decent enough to do so (PROTIP: just because you took some medicine to suppress symptoms doesn't mean you're better. You're still contagious.)...
To the person who uses sickdays for pathetic crap like "I just don't feel like going to work today" or "my shoulders hurt" or "my feet hurt" (see also: BAAAAAW), so that they don't have any sickdays left when they really need them...
YOU ARE INCREDIBLY SELFISH. You never considered that one person's little cold is a potentially life threatening illness for a person with immune system deficiencies... such as my mom, who became immunodeficient as a result of her organ transplant, or people with genetic disorders, or people with AIDS.
But even if there are no such people present, realize that you are completely ruining the experience of all the other patrons in the unlucky establishment you have targeted. Even healthy people have no desire to hear you blowing phlegm chunks after they've paid to see a movie or for a restaurant meal.
So when you decide to be a selfish little faggot, remember, you're not just making everyone else want to light you on fire -- you could be writing a death sentence for some poor immunodeficient soul.
Until next time,
GERM-FREE OR GTFO -->
