so kill me

To the GO train riders who were sitting in the last car of the 8:45 from Port Credit:

I'm sorry I had a coughing fit this morning. I have allergies. I am not contagious.

Perhaps you believe that staring at a person who is coughing, or glaring at them with grave disapproval, will cause them to stop coughing. As you now know, it does not.

Perhaps you believe that a person who is coughing should not take public transportation. However, I wasn't coughing when I left my house.

Next time I am coughing uncontrollably, holding my hand over my mouth, gasping for breath, tears rolling down my face, struggling to breathe, I will remember that my biggest problem is really that I am inconveniencing you.

Signed,

An allergy sufferer

  3. How rude!

    I think you should print this out. laminate it and hand it to the next person who glares at you for coughing.

  4. Someone at work suggested I wear a sign saying "NO SARS".

    You know, I don't embarrass easily, but I was really embarrassed by this. I'm actually hoping no one remembers me next Friday, the next day I'm on the train.

    Yeah, I would challenge them to remove you by force. Bring it on.
