Gee, Thanks

We’ve all faked being sick when we were children trying to avoid going to school. Can you honestly say you’ve never, not even once, faked being sick in order to ditch school? That’s just a normal part of childhood. No kid likes school, and some days are just too hard to handle, you’d rather stay home and avoid it all.

But do adults do the same thing? I guess some people might fake being sick in order to avoid social obligations and work. It works best if you really look sick, you know pale and tired. It might be somewhat offensive to hear that “yeah you really look like hell, hope you get well soon” – but hey, at least it got you out of going to work!
