OK to set the scene; I have a chest infection. No big deal; every time I get a cold, it goes straight for my chest. I'm not about to take loads of time off every time that happens as I can still go to work as long as I have tissues and take cold medicine every so often. However, why is it that SCs seem to think that this is on a par with going to work suffering from bubonic plague? -.-
I had one SC mistake my chesty cough for a smokers cough and lecture me on giving up smoking; I only managed to stem her flow by lying and telling her I'm a lifelong non smoker... yes, I do smoke, but not when I'm ill and she had no right to assume things anyway.
Several others told me I shouldn't be at work but instead should be in bed... nice if I could, but I don't get paid for staying at home. I even got a few "Howard Hughes" who acted as tho everything I touched was infested with germs. Ignoring the fact that a couple of hundred people who are also down with the cold are walking thru the supermarket sneezing and coughing over everything that the germ phobic people have in their trolley.
