# Please don't tar us all with the same brush,
some of us would still go to work if we had plague or malaria.

# me, mainly
I can tell the difference, but flu is so much more dramatic, and garners more attention and time off. And is therefore exponentially better than a measly cold.

# Seconded
The only time I've been off work recently, I got forced to go home by my colleagues due to me having to take regular throwing up breaks.

# Same here.
I had a couple of days off the other week for the first time ever, because I was told I was probably infectious, and they didn't want to give the rest of my department an excuse to take a week off.

I'd rather you stayed at home as I DON'T WANT IT.

Come round here, coughing and spluttering. What's the point?

# Dunno
if I'd go that far, but I haven't taken a (genuine) day off sick for more than two years.

# indeed
all these people haveing the flu and time off work, when in reality they are just wimps with a cold.

eat some dirt and build up your immune system.

# Yeah I ate loads of dirt when I was young.

I still get hayfever though!

# I always used to think that hayfever sufferers were making it up and that it couldn't be as bad as they made out
Then, this summer I developed hayfever. I think it's some sort of divine retribution for all the years I've spent mocking the afflicted.

# I agree,
all these sickly children these days have been bought up in too sterile an environment. Instead of giving out milk, primary schools should make them eat worms.

# too right.
i ate worms when i was a sprog and it's done me little or no harm...

# I reckon the difference between colds and flu
is that flu is when you've not been at the office ten minutes and your boss hands you your coat and tells you he's going to drive you home, where you are to go to bed and not come in for the rest of the week.

I think it was the passing out that did it.

He is a pharmacist and always berates people who come into his shop and tell him they have flu. :)
