for. fuck. sake

Roommate is sick. Headache, fever, vomiting. I just walked in the door and they DID NOT FUCKING TELL ME until I was already standing the room with them, unmasked. I've dosed myself with enovid and I was only in the room for a few minutes so hopefully I'll escape whatever it is. But seriously, WHY WOULD THEY NOT WARN ME.

Ugh.

Even if they could be sure it's not covid, those aren't symptoms you want, and it doesn't sound like they have any reason to think it's not covid.

actual dialogue

[the_siobhan]

"Don't worry, it's not covid"

"How do you know? Did you test?"

"..."

Ten minutes later door opens, "Uh, it's covid."

"Don't worry, it's not covid"

What the fuck was that? Wishful thinking?

Re: actual dialogue

[the_siobhan]

I genuinely have no clue.

Hope. Wishful thinking.
Self-delusion.
All of the above.

I went to a festival last summer with two people who started showing covid symptoms on the last day. I said "It really sounds like you have covid" and they were all salty that I was complaining and because I insisted on having the windows rolled down on the drive back.

Two hours after they got covid one of them texted me to say "It turns out it's covid." AUGHHHSDFHDSFHJKSDJHFKSDJHF

Even if it wasn't, why the fuck would they think you want to catch their illness? When did we get so fucking cavalier about passing around our viruses?

Re: actual dialogue

[disastrid]

Exactly - it's the cavalier attitude that makes me boil, like fuck anyone calling people who doesn't want corona a whiny babies. It's so selfish.

I feel like they could've said that through the door without opening it. Perhaps slid a note underneath?

Re: actual dialogue

[the_siobhan]

Or texted me.

This makes me want to spit fire, and I don't even know the person. How any human can be that self-absorbed and oblivious to the circumstances of the world and the people in it (particularly the one who shares living space) is beyond me.

Sorry. I shouldn't barge in with judgment, knowing nothing about anything, but hearing about this kind of behaviour enrages me.

[the_siobhan]

Oh trust me, I am VERY UNHAPPY

[kest]

I am so sorry
