OK here is something I totally do NOT understand.
I was recently sick and went home early from work. Upon my return the next day someone said to me "are you alive?" Umm "no?"....While I don't understand that question I figured surely their next question would be "are you feeling better?". It wasn't.
Later in the day someone asked me "did you just come to work to make everyone else sick?" Yes. Uh huh. That is EXACTLY why I came to work.
You would have thought I had Mono or that after work everyone needed to rush to get a TB skin test. Like I had a COLD, get a grip people. When did common courtesy go out the window in favor of the "are you alive" question. I get it's supposed to be funny...but it's not. It's not about "comedic timing" either. It just plain and simple isn't funny. And if not quickly followed by "are you feeling better" it's also just plain rude.
I think next time I'll come to work in one of those surgical masks, like the Chinese wore when fearing they might get Czars disease. See what kind of response I get then......and if people ask if I'm alive I'll simply say "nope, just decided my first task as a dead person would be to come to work".
Over it.
