To be so fed up with people spreading illness?

All last week there was a woman floating around work saying “ooh I feel awful today but I still came in” she was hacking her guts up everywhere and generally did sound unwell.

I’m now on a two week holiday and today my throat is sore and I’m very achy. This sort of thing seems to happen to me all the time! My one time to relax and I feel like crap because someone else is so inconsiderate.

AIBU to think that if you’re ill then you should stay off work? If you really really have to be in then you should try to avoid people where possible and wear a mask etc.

The child was probably waiting to see the GP as well, no? Confused

Yes but they shouldn’t be in a waiting room with chicken pox for the same reason you keep a child at home with it. There’s usually a separate room for people with contagious stuff
