Sick Jerks.

I hate being sick.  And what I hate even more is people who come to school when they’re sick because they’re selfish and don’t care about getting other people sick.  It really drives me nuts.  Seriously, have they no common sense??  I mean, they know they’re sick and likely contagious, but all they care about is getting their own work done and don’t care at all about the fact that they’re probably getting other people sick.  Maybe even more sick than they were if the other people have weak immune systems.  And then—and here’s the real kicker—those people who got sick from the jerks who come to school sick get so sick that they can’t come to school, and then they get behind and struggle all because some people are rude and selfish and stupid.  And then those people who got sick, like responsible people, have to go to doctors and get poked and prodded and stuck with a finger prick and have the back of their throat swabbed with a Q-tip to check for strep.  All because the people who got them sick wouldn’t stay home in the first place.  Jerks.
