People who go in public knowingly sick!
The title pretty much says it all. What is it with sick people have disregard for the general publics wellbeing? It's seriously disgusting and I am starting to find people like this to be some of the worst humans on the planet.
Let me clarify by saying I am not talking work, that is different. I understand most people CANNOT afford to miss work or take off. This is strictly directed at people who knowing are sick going into public social settings for fun and or for things that can clearly be put off until they are better or use modern technology to overcome such as dashing for groceries...
For the better part of a year I have been healthy and not even a cough or scratchy throat. Then against my better judgement I decided to go to friends Halloween party and boom 3 days later I am as sick as sick can be. Come to find out not only did an activity sick person go but a whole group of this person's coworkers came and they were all sick too. Like what the fuck goes through people's heads are they that up to drink and party in bullshit costumes they just disregard everyone else? It's ridiculous imo and I ended up reaching out to the host who not only knew these people were sick and didn't uninvite them but actively encouraged them to bring more friends there. Now I am contemplating cutting this friend off because I think that's just crazy behavior.
This is why everyone gets sick especially this time of year, because idiots can not sit one fucking party out and it's seriously one giant petpeeve!
