OP, you sound very dramatic. You got sick. You will unquestionably continue the domino effect to a few people. No one likes being sick and it's always a pain, but really, get over yourself. Hopefully you'll announce to everyone on the plane that you're sick, and bring facemasks for everyone in a 10 foot radius on the flight. That's the polite thing to do, right?


You don't go to someone else's home sick. You don't bring your sick children into someone else's home.

I will wear a face mask myself. Because it's the polite thing to do.


Seriously, we are all exposed to so many germs all the time. To blame it on a single sick person is not fair or rational.


I have not been sick.
Sick people enter my house
I am now getting sick.

Rocket science? I think not.


OP your haiku
Imperfect though it may be
Speaks volumes re: you.

Wear a face mask and those yellow dish gloves, then spray lysol everywhere. Then they might get the hint.

But I think getting so riled up about catching a cold from them - that's so benign. Unless OP plans on staying locked in her home without any interaction for the next week, she will pass on the very same cold to a few people - no matter how much she washes her hands or covers her mouth, it's inevitable. OP is just being dramatic.


Bingo. I guarantee that at work, at the store, etc. you are in contact with the cold and flu constantly. It's winter. That's life.

Colds are part of life and cold germs are everyone. We don't all stay in isolation when we have colds and we don't expect people to stay home if they have a cold. We had two fmaily members who came to Christmas dinner with colds and there were infants there. No big deal. Likely people have caught colds form you at one point, especially seeing as you are contagious before all the symptoms are there.
Coughing, sneezing, runny noses, scratchy throats - if we stayed home from work, school, commitments, activities everytime someone in the house had cold symptoms, we would be house bound, unemployed, uneducated and extremely bored.

It's one thing in a long string of asshole behavior on their part. So yes, I'm not too enamored with them.


I'm a PP. Who wants to bet the feeling is mutual, and that's why they showed up sick?

My husband was in denial they were sick. I stayed away from them as much as I could.


So what? You can only talk when your husband says it's all right? It's YOUR health. YOU should have said something.


I did. I can't force them to leave. It's my husband's house too.

Get off the feminist kick. It's not becoming.


Neither is being sick. Taking responsibility for your health is not feminism, it's common sense.


See the bolded? That's the feminazi coming out in you.

You have greater problems than a cold.

Never did I state I did not say anything. Short of calling the police and demanding they leave (which, by the way, would have done nothing because my husband co-owns the house), all I can do is speak. I can't make them go anywhere. That's their choice.

Yes, OP is a bitch, bitch, bitch. Colds happen. You probably got the virus b/f they even showed up.


Yep, you'd be a bitch too if you knew these folk.
