Re: I'm so annoyed...

When I was working, I had to take a train and then a shuttle to work. Many times, on the train, I stood by the door for the entire trip, to avoid all those who were coughing and sneezing. But, what others have said is true - you are expected to come to work, cold or not.

Now that I am retired, I have not (fingers crossed) had one cold!

@kelsey17 I agree with everything you said here. I remember a long time ago I had almost 200 dollars worth of food on the belt when I suddently saw the cashier had a horrible head cold. She kept blowing her nose and wiping her hands on her pants. I got so disgusted seeing that in all good faith, I just couldn't pay for the food and take it home. I had to tell the manager why. He had to get somebody to put all that food away. I ended up going to a different grocery store for my shopping.

We use to own a Cafe and I would Hate It when I would ask how someone

was, and the person would say, "I am SO SICK"..... it's like really???
Why are you even out spreading your germs.... no I did not say that,

BUT I sure was thinking it !!!

Just went to my neighbor's house. Her granddaughter answered the door and I could hear my neighbor on the phone. I yelled in - oh you're sick (cause she could hardly speak). She said "come on in, I've just lost my voice". After I get inside and am there about 15 minutes, she tells me she's been sick for two days and has been sent home from work - UGH! I immediately got up and left. Why don't people just say "I'm sick, maybe we can get together next week". Came home and took some zinc and garlic and am praying I don't get sick.
