We had one guy here call in sick. (actually he had his wife call him in sick) Why? because he was stung by a bee the night before.
AWWWWW give me a break today!
Isabelle…before this turns into yet another ugly trainwreck…
Please let me give you some friendly advice. These generalizations you post so frequently offend some people. Men don’t want to be told they are babies when they are sick no more than women want to be told that their bad mood must be because of “that time of the month.” It’s an incorrect, unfair stereotype.
All people react differently to being sick. Some muddle through without complaining much at all {** Sauron **} and others (ME) go to bed and stay there for days on end moaning that we are going to die and asking those around us to come say their farewells.
I don’t get why you keep opening yourself up to constant criticism by posting these things. I can’t imagine you don’t think of how people will react before you post or if you know how they will react and thrive on all the drama.
Yeah, it’s not like he could possibly be allergic to bee stings, right? :rolleyes:
No he wasn’t allergic.
Maybe this time the calling in sick was legitimate but this guy takes off work for a runny nose!
But I posted this question cause it seems like all the guys on tv are babies when they get sick coupled with the male friends I know. It was just a general question.
The guys on tv?!?
Why didn’t you tell us you had a perfectly valid and unimpeachable cite?
Oh no, someone wants to use up their sickdays. How horrible!
Hanging’s too good for him! Burning’s too good for him!He should be torn into little pieces and buried ALIVE!
<giggle> Of course isn’t everything on tv true?
Aries28, you’re giving the OP waaaaaaay too much credit.
So what? I am all for Uber-Work Ethic, but if you have sick days, use 'em when when you feel like it.
Sigh…I kinda thought so but I held out a brief flicker of hope.
I just don’t get opening yourself up to such ridicule all the time. It reminds me too much of IDBB. shudder
The words ‘drooling’ and ‘moron’ come to mind…
My husband pampers me when I am sick. He’s probably better at taking care of me when I am sick than I am at taking care of him.
Now let’s discuss why men can’t use a washing machine! They just stand there looking at it in confusion, like that man in the flu shot commercial.
I just don’t get sick, because what’s the point? I’m single, I live alone, and I don’t even keep pampers in the house.
Enough with the male-bashing. Let’s talk about women drivers…
And plus, what happens when WOMEN get sick? The whole house falls apart. None of those men on TV can take care of anything if their wife gets sick.
This is totally true, I swear. I saw it on a Tylenol commercial!
Is that women drivers bashing into males?
I fucked my back up last week. Was almost a cripple for 3 days. I told no one(apart from work) and stayed at home on my own in pain and misery. I HATE everyone when I’m sick and hate people pampering me. I wouldn’t inflict myself on anyone when I’m sick.
If I ever manage to get a women to share my life I pity her when I’m sick. I’d advise her to just leave for a few days.
Some of my family and friends weren’t happy that I did this especially my mother who likes nothing better than mothering her 32 year old son when she gets a chance which is very rare.
I guess it must be STDs then.
You seem to know a lot of guys who couple with male TV stars.
If you like. I was going to take the high road.
[sub]There are fewer women driving on it.[/sub]
Well if you carried on like a little soldier into my office it would piss me and everyone else RIGHT the fuck off. I don’t want your sick ass “soldiering along” in my workspace, getting germs all over the place and getting everyone else sick so they can’t enjoy their weekends. Stay the fuck home.
