I Saw You

Gesundheit


I saw you sneeze like a 3-year-old with no manners. What is wrong with you?! You walked right past my open cubicle and sneezed so loudly and so violently I think they heard you on the other side of the floor. Do you not realize that we are on a level-5 flu alert according to the World Health Organization? I saw you sneeze so hard that I actually saw spray during that moment you paused to spew your germs into the world two feet from my desk with no attempt to put your hand to your mouth. I watched you walk around the wide corner to see you repeat your disgusting sneeze routine two more times, except this time you spewed all over the copier you were using. Boy, did I feel bad for the employee who walked up right after you left and used the it. I don't care that you may have bad allergies; you might not be diseased, but what the heck! My preschooler has a better and safer sneeze technique than you; you should be ashamed disgusting germ spreading co-worker of mine!
