Getting People Sick

I don't do it...I have a serious grudge against that fact that people every year blame me because they get sick. I get sick/allergies every fall and spring just like every other person. Okay, maybe I get it two days before other people do so shoot me, but don't tell me that I got you sick.

In any given day people shake hands with a handful of people, share doorknobs with hundreds of people and share airspace with thousands. I did not get you sick. Not if you are my friend, my enemy, my boss, or anyone else. You got sick because a piece of bacteria is fighting against your system. Even if the piece of bacteria came from me (which I really don't think it did) you still should not blame me. I did nothing. I am being attacked by something that then attacked you. If someone shot John Doe and then came after me I would not blame John...I would make sure he was okay while tending to myself.

People get sick because its going to happen. It will happen whether or not they are friends with me or talk to me. All you people who blame me got sick when you were younger right? Zactly! Who did you blame then. Just deal with being sick and blame bad luck or the change in seasons.

Dean out!

No no... You are inappropriate

I do a lot of things often. Things I do not do often include being embarrassed, conceding to defeat when I believe I am correct, not thinking about what I say to strangers and regretting decisions that I have made. I did all of these things tonight and it really makes me want to go back to that KFC and tell someone off.

Rewind...

Today I went to pick up KFC for Cameron (guy I work with) and myself. I was told that Cameron's food would take 3 minutes so I took the cup that I was given and got some Wild Cherry Pepsi. I had a few sips, refilled, had a few sips, refilled and capped it. The women standing behind me who was about a mom's age (my mom not my age and an infant's mom) said, "Excuse me...do you know how inappropriate that is?" I was shocked and instantly felt bad. She explained that with swine flu and germs I should not drink out of a cup and put it back up to the fountain. I told her I have never thought of that and if it had occurred to me it was a problem I would not have done it. I felt awkward and out of place and wanted her to leave before the lecture continued. Then I spent the next half hour thinking about this.

I realized that not only did I do nothing wrong...but she was in fact the one who was inappropriate. How dare her lecture/confront me about doing something that is both allowed and in now way spreads germs. I should have told her that she was inappropriate for telling me what I was doing was wrong, not minding her own buisness, and watching too much bullshit news and being a hypochondriac.

I do not regret much...but she should have been slapped...or at least politely told she was mistaken.
