You're an inconsiderate asshole if you fly while sick

Yeah, talking about that nasty mom and her nasty daughter who decided it’d be a good idea to get on a plane and fly across the country and not even cover their mouths when they coughed on the plane. I appreciate getting sick!

If you travel by plane, or really any public transportation, and you’re sick and you don’t at the very least cover your damn mouth or wear a face mask, you’re an asshole.

It’s a confined place. The rest of us are a captive audience that can’t just get up and walk away. And you’re spreading germs and possibly diseases/viruses/etc. across regions. People like you are literally the reason we had a fucking pandemic that crossed the globe. If you motherfuckers just stayed at home or wherever the fuck you were until you were better, none of that shit would have happened.

But oh no, I got sick! What’s the first thing I should do… I know! I’ll travel and spread this with other people!

It’s not too hard to just fucking stay where you are and wait it out. Instead you got me and who knows who else sick from your inconsiderate actions. Hopefully there wasn’t anyone with a condition that made them more susceptible to sicknesses. You could literally kill someone else doing something as irresponsible as this.

Now I’ve got a fucking headache, dry throat, runny nose, and just everything else all because some inconsiderate asshole couldn’t stay put until they were better. Hope it was worth it, fuckface.

I mean, am I just supposed to miss the funeral/wedding/holiday I paid a lot of money for because I got a cold? Should've covered their mouths at least though. 😔

When the ripple effect of your choice is potentially hundreds of people getting sick, factoring in the people you infect, who they infect, and so on... I would say yeah. I don't know the actual math but it's probably safe to assume you're producing like 3000 total hours of people feeling like shit with your choice.

I know that if you came to my event sick I'd be offended, would probably send you away, and definitely wouldn't invite you again.

Masks do help a lot but come on dude. If you're choosing to travel sick in the first place I know your nasty plague rat ass is taking that mask off eventually.

Yes, even more so the reason. Why are you going to attend an event with dozens of other people and potentially get even more people sick? I’d be pissed if I was mourning the loss of my loved one and now I’m also dealing with a sickness because someone wouldn’t just have stayed home. Or on my wedding day and now my new spouse and I can’t properly enjoy our honeymoon because someone attending got us and our other guests sick. Live streams are becoming more popular at these events for this exact reason so you don’t have to miss it. Sure, it’s not the same as being there in person, but you were invited to the gathering, not your sickness.

Empathy is thinking about the others you’re infecting with your contagious sickness when you choose to get onto a crowded tiny tube filled with other people and literally spread your sickness around the world to potentially hundreds or thousands of more people.
