personal hygiene / venting

I am disgusted!! I really am livid, let me tell you something, I am very ill right now, I have missed half a week of school because of it, my body aches, my throat is burning, lumps on throat, mucus, phlegm (tmi sorry) chills, heating up, no fever thankfully, restless, haven't ate a set meal for past two days. I am ill.

why??? because somebody purposely breathed on me, and yes I may only have the flu, but my easter weekend has been completely ruined. I am disgusted by this persons behaviour, purposely breathing on me and others thinking "if I spread it" that they will get better.

This behaviour has completely disgusted me and I need to vent, I really do, I am sooooo mad, like how can people lack personal hygiene???
Someone breathed on you to give you flu, that's not personal hygiene.

If someone coughed/sneezed and didn't cover their mouth, that's different, but I'd still say that comes down to manners rather than hygiene issues? :s-smilie:

EDIT: Did this person know they had flu, like have they done it just so you'll suffer?

ah thats true, I am just so caught up in my own personal hygiene thats all I am thinking about lately. They did indeed knew they had the flu, manners you're correct. Appalling manners in that case.

I had similar feelings about the person who coughed and gave me the flu a few weeks ago. You'll get over it. It might take time and patience, but those feelings won't live with you forever.

No, I meant to think that getting breathed on could cause flu or that it's personal hygeine.

Believe me, if you had flu, you'd be in too much pain to type. I had only the mildest dose of it a few months ago and my everything ached like mad - right down to my fingers.
