Welcome to another episode of Out of the Pods. Happy Wednesday pod besties. I have been under the weather like all week and also last week too, as you can probably hear from my voice. I'm like on this

long road to recovery. I feel like that's what happens when you get older is you just don't

recover as fast when you're sick. And the cough like seems to linger for like, I don't know,

a decade after. In my 30s, I don't know why. A simple cold just throws me on my ass. Can I just tell you how I got sick? Because it actually makes me so mad when I think about it, like how I got sick. So I went to an event last week. And there was people I kind of knew, like acquaintances at this event, and one of them, you know,

I had a long conversation with. She was telling me some like crazy gossip, which I can't say on

the podcast, but even if I do say, you guys won't care. Like, it's just about someone's like

a fair and divorce. It was crazy shit. Okay, you better tell me that later.

Yeah. It was like, but it was a 45 minute story, right? She was like telling me all the details.

And her voice did sound a little bit, you know, like raspy, but I was like, oh, you know, whatever.

And then she starts coughing like every few minutes. But she's coughing in my face. She's not covering her mouth. You know, she'll be like, oh, yeah, and then this person, ah, ha, ha, like. Would you argue that it's worth it that you got sick because you got the gossip? At the time when I was weighing my pros and cons, I was like, probably. But now,

now that I've been sick for six days, I'm like, no. You know, when you're just like, I need

to get better, but I still feel like shit. But anyways, the reason why it gets me so mad is the

fact that she was at this event when she was sick. That really is one of my biggest pet peeves. I mean,

really, the blame is actually on me. But if I want to project, you know, my anger on someone,

it's the fact that she was at this event when she was sick. And that kind of got me a little bit

mad. It really is my biggest pet peeve when someone is showing actual symptoms of sickness.

Like they're coughing,

they're sneezing, they have a raspy voice, like a sore throat. And they not only come to an event with a lot of people, but also they talk really close to people's faces. That was my

thing. And also, I was like, if you're coughing and you know you're sick, like, clearly she was sick, the more I think about it. Like, she probably also knew she was sick. She probably felt very, like, you know, down. Like, she, like, felt it like I'm sick. Why are you talking so close to my face? And why, when you cough, aren't you looking the other way, you know?

Yeah, like cough into your hand. Also, why are you at the event? It's not like a pressing thing to go to. Do you ever like replay a situation in your head? Like you're like, I wish I did that differently. Oh, all the time. That's what I'm doing right now. I wish that when she coughed in my face, I either excused myself from the conversation.

I was like, hey, I got to use the bathroom and never talk to her again.

Or I wish I said, oh, did you just cough in my face? Or something, like, acknowledged it. Oh, are you
