Dude whenever I’m sick I always wear a mask around the house, wipe down each surface I touch with Lysol (for the most part) and try to keep to my room. When my roommates are sick they don’t gaf and just walk around coughing and sneezing on everything. I hate it 😭

anyway, consider this your reminder that if you’re sick, whether or not it’s covid, you should -avoid other people and avoid common spaces if you can -wear a mask when you have to be around people -let people know you’re sick so they know to avoid you -not do shit like say “aw i hope i didn’t get you sick” while not doing any of the above things

signed, someone who very prevantably got sick from my housemate (and her bf) who made no effort to avoid me or mask around me. and now they’re like “aw sorry you’re sick” as if they tried to prevent that from happening!!

like now i’m just mad and venting bc -bf came to a party despite having a fever that morning -both wore masks at said party but not around me even when sitting right next to me -housemate let me drive her around without mentioning she was sick so we were in close quarters -bf in particular has no concept of personal space
