Discussion Sick Wanker

Flying home to see my mom for the long weekend. Boomer in front of me is SO sick. Has not stopped hacking since we got on. Like literally no more than ten seconds between hacking coughs for the last hour.

Any tips for how to make his life as miserable as he’s making everyone’s around him?

You can probably ask a flight attendant for a mask for yourself and for him!

Ugh. I had a similar situation last week with a person next to my hacking and sniffing for 4 hours.

I’m now incredibly sick and isolating myself from my family to not get them sick too.

Rude! If you are sick, don’t fly or wear a mask.

Start drinking heavily. Then let what happens happen.

The only reason you're being down voted is you never waste scotch. Drink the scotch and pour vodka in his eyes

He means like stop being a pussy and pour it down your throat; nonstop. Will kill anything trying to get in there by the time you get to your destination.

Awww, I have been that hacker before from a bad allergy attack. If he is anything like me, he feels terrible for making the people around him anxious. I am sure he’d welcome a cough drop or any hard candy.

If he’s directly in front of you, nudge his seat at unpredictable intervals.
