Midii Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 This is my first obs so I hope it's okay Yesterday on the train, I was sitting alone. A man came upstairs and right away I could tell that he had a cold. He had this reddish tinge surrounding his nostrils and a scarf wrapped tightly around his throat, and his eyes were slightly red and very watery. He plopped himself down next to me and started coughing, which I don't really like. Thankfully, he was hacking into his tissue and not on me. After his brief coughing fit, he leaned back against the seat and rubbed his eyes, looking defeated. He gave lots of gurgly sniffles and suddenly sneezed a loud ha...ha...haNXT, then blew his nose into a tissue, which got soaked pretty quickly. Then he continued blowing onto five other tissues and, finally reaching the last tissue in his packet, just gave a really loud, gurgling sniff and mopped his dribbling nose with the last tissue. Then immediately after he was done mopping, he started sneezing again, this time in a fit of about 10, mostly double sneezes that he tried to muffle (poor guy, he looked mortified). Then after the sneezing he was still holding his hand to his nose and the other was searching around, he had obviously used up all of his tissues so I offered him one and he whispered in this really raspy deep voice 'thagks so buch'. Aww It was delicious but unfortunately I have his cold now and feeling awful. Link to comment

Sitruuna Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sounds like a cold that I would enjoy having (well, during any holiday...) ''' Hopefully you'll feel better soon. Link to comment
Midii Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Thanks everyone...this is the worst cold I've had in a while. My nose is so blocked up I can't sneeze properly any more, the cough is getting worse and my fever is still rising. Ugh. Link to comment
sneezytwilight Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 aww, You should take some meds for a cold. THey really do help..I tend to get one every 2-3 months so trust me. sleep is good. You don't feel sick when you sleep. Only when you wake to a cough. *hugs* ♥ hang in there♥ Link to comment
