Colds

Colds are the stupidest illnesses ever. I mean, they hardly count as illness. If you have leprosy or if a crocodile bit your leg off, you get to call in and have everybody say: "Now SHE's really sick.". "I have a cold" on the other hand sounds really pathetic. You can't stay at home, because you're not really sick, but at work you're of no use whatsoever as your eyes threaten to pop out at any given moment and from your nose on upwards there's only a big sign: "Brain over".
