This is the sick and whiny big old baby thread

[crlygrl]

I need somewhere other than my facebook page to complain about this cold I have. This is very necessary. Please feel free to post your whiny sickness-related gripes here...

Is it possible to feel sneezes in your eyes? Because I've been sneezing all morning (I've started counting... I'll give a more detailed update later) and I swear I can feel my eyes tingling.

Also, I can't taste anything and my nose looks like it's got some sort of flesh-eating virus. If I were rich I would blow my nose only in the finest silks.

*whine*

Make sure to squeeze your eyes shut tight when you sneeze cuz they could pop out! And then where would you be??

My right contact always get really itchy about halfway through the day and my left one is fine.

Did you know that rabbits have VERY loose eye ball muscles? One of the vets at the pet hospital I used to work at was like the number one bunny Dr. in the country. We saw A LOT of rabbits there. They were always coming in with their eye balls protracted from stupid stuff like getting too scared or being dropped. The vet would have to pop'um back in their heads!

I have calculated that, if you spread them out, I sneeze once every three minutes. In reality I'm really sneezing like 10 times a row a few times an hour.

Someone should be charting this sort of thing.

Poor bunny eyes!

This may not be the right thread to post this in but I think it's the best choice. I have a complaint to lodge against my co-workers and the general layout of our office. Some history: I work at a very small IT consulting company and I am the only woman here. Our office is in a new all green built wharehouse/loft type space. The downstairs is basically one big room with a small kitchen in the corner and a big conference table in the middle. My desk is down here, facing the front door. And of course there is a bathroom. Right off the main room.

Here is my beef. Boys are nasty creatures who poo a lot. And they don't know any poo eitquitte like the "courtesy flush" or the "run the faucet when you have loud diarrhea" move or even the "maybe I should turn on the fan" manuver. Now don't get me wrong, I poo too. But when I poo I always take care to keep it to myself. First I turn on the fan and open the window. I always flush right when I start for courtesy and also to cover the sound as I proceed. Then I wash my hands and flush again before I exit. I also leave the fan on and shut the door. The fan turns off automatically after a few minutes. HOW HARD IS THAT!?!!??!

My workplace bathroom beef is when I'm in there using the urinal and some dude is in a stall making crazy noises they just flush then get up and walk right out and say hi, like nothing just happened. Just wait until I leave. I don't need to put a face to the noises.

I also hate it when someone walks down the hall with a paper tucked under their arms and goes into the bathroom. Have some humility and tuck the paper down the front of your pants and hide it like a normal human being.

I work in a series of old mansions that are set up like houses. So there are many small offices and hallways that have bathrooms in them that are OFF LIMITS for those who want to drop a deuce. Out of maybe a dozen bathrooms, only around 3 are appropriate for pooing in.

The only problem is if you work on the 4th floor and someone sees you in the downstairs bathroom, they know what you've been up to. It's kind of funny.

Is it like an unwritten rule in the company?

I work in a huge military building divided into warehouses. Our art studio (that is within a larger company/warehouse) is like an open warehouse space. The bathroom is cold and depressing. There are signs that say DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH and WASH OUT THE SINK IF YOU GET SICK. How many people get sick in the sink?? And women don't flush. And they pee all over the seat. And under the PLEASE FLUSH sign someone penned "EAT A DICK!"

[crlygrl]

You should rub the ladies' faces in their own pee. That will teach them not to do that anymore.

We totally tell people which bathrooms are for pooing in.

I have split ends.

Eat a dick!

How many people are eating dicks at work???

Unless I'm sick, and am confronted with the choice of pants v. toilet, I NEVER shit at work, and don't understand why anyone would be comfortable doing so daily. If you're taking more than two shits in a day, and can't arrange them around when you work, there's something wrong with you and you should see a gastroblah-blah-tologist....

[crlygrl]

Well apparently SOMEONE doesn't work within walking distance to an Indian buffet!

[Babychoby]

My poo schedule is very regular and it happens at 10:00 AM, rain or shine. I can do nothing to change this, I've been this way my whole life. I'M NOT ASHAMED TO POO. I just like to make as little impact on others when I do.

[dorothy mantooth]

Sweet! I would like to take this opportunity to whine about the fact that I have been nauseous since Sunday. Just the mere thought of food makes me want to hurl. BUT I CANNOT HURL!

There are signs that say DON'T FORGET TO FLUSH and WASH OUT THE SINK IF YOU GET SICK. How many people get sick in the sink??

I go to a gym where they had PERMANENT signs made and affixed above the water fountains that read "Spitting is Prohibited." In Spanish and English. With a picture of a stickperson hocking a loog in the drinking fountain. And, yes, I do go to the grossest/most fascinating gym on the planet. The women's room looks like a scene from Trainspotting.

Oh my goodness!!! So like cartoons, they go all Tex Avery when they get spooked? Is there also a sound effect like "Ah-WHOOOO-guh!"

In the dorms of Porter at UCSC there were signs above all the sinks that said "Please don't leave your supper in the scupper".

Sounds British!
