What is Ther Worst Viral Thing? (Based on personal loathing, not actual/potential severity)

View Answers

Head cold, the runny kind
5 (6.7%)

Sinus cold, the stuffy kind
9 (12.0%)

Tonsils/strep
6 (8.0%)

Chest cold
6 (8.0%)

Stomach bug
27 (36.0%)

Influenza (get your flu shot, everyone!)
22 (29.3%)

ETA: "stomach bug" includes viruses causing *both* kinds of digestive distress. Possibly I ought to have said "digestive system" rather than "stomach", but I am the sort of person who would rather clean up after Norovirus for a week than discuss the topic for ten minutes, sorry.

Oh, that sounds horrible. And to be flirted with on top of your troubles - what makes men do that kind of thing?

I could not figure it out. Like it didn't even bother me because I was too miserable to care, but it BAFFLED me. I remember sitting there with two parallel thought-streams: 1. Am I going to actually throw up? and 2. What in the name of GOD is actually attracting you to the idea of even talking to me right now? Like do you just literally feel so entitled to female attention that you're not even looking at me, you just went "ah, a female person, I will talk at her and she will pay attention"? I AM SO CONFUSED.
