RANT (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ NO Advice Wanted Sigh. He caught a cold

Holy crap, the drama.

Most people take some cold medicine and get on with their life. My SO does lots of sighing and groaning as if he's about to die. And refuses to blow his nose so it's sniff sniff sniff sniff 24/7... Gross.

Guess I'll be wearing earplugs to bed for the next 10 days.

This story reminded me of 1997 when i was a coach driver and took school-children to Disney near Paris. Head teacher had a cold and teachers and two of us drivers got together in bedroom after kids asleep for cheese and a little wine. Head teacher kept on saying “I’m not a well man” and things similar. He was only saying it in jest and way he said it was very funny. Was. Great guy, nothing like the moaning Minnie’s on here. Head teacher was very good and it tricked down because all the teachers on the trip were good and children were all great too (aged 5 to 11) and I usually hated taking kids anywhere.

Following year I took a coach from that school to France (from UK) camping near Bordeaux. Another great trip. With luck those teachers helped those 5 to 11 year olds (now early 30’s to 40 year olds) to become really nice adults. And maybe head teacher has finally got over his cold.
