When someone close to you coughs?

I was on the train the other day and the guy behind me coughed something evil.
I pulled up my collar and I held my body tight. I actually felt the air from his mouth on my neck

Does this freak u out or is it just me?

*cough*

Not very nice

If someone coughs in such a way that I can feel the air/moisture from it near my face, I kinda freak, yeah...

When they cough, I take a vitamin c/ zinc tablet and have confidence that it will resist anything.

Hi Thread!

between the kids in the church daycare with their pinkeye and pneumonia, strep throat and then the people in church with sinusitis, colds, and flu, I don't have a freakin chance.


I am a total germaphobe this year.

...You could either.....

...1. hold your breath for an inordinately long time...

...2. Wear a mask...(a filter mask...not one of those clown efforts ...on the other hand )

...3 Give him a mask....

...4....Give him a funnel to cough int so he can direct his spray elsewhere ..

Yes, that's a bit on the gross side. If I'm walking I'll walk a little faster and if somenone sneezes I want to run. You know how far a sneeze can travel?

Besides, I'm pretty sure a form of tuberculosis can be contracted through airborne bacteria.

sometimes when I stand in line at the supermarket, the people
before or right behind me look so dirty and unwashed and just
downright scruffy that it makes me cringe.

all the while we're all waiting for the conveyor belt with the
goods to move forward and I just pray to god that none of them
filthy buggers is gonna cough or sneeze.

and yet, they always do, spouting their germs all over the map
from their filth infested pie holes.

sometimes I try to hold my breath, but people tend to stare at
you when you arrive at the cash register all blue with puffed
up cheeks, nodding "yes" or "no" when someone asks you sumtin.
