Today, my professor gave me a huge lecture in front of the class about showing up sick, about how I was endangering the lives of other students, and kicked me out of class. As I left, everyone applauded. I'm not sick, but suffering for horrible allergies. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a nasty cough, but I went to college anyway. When I walked into class, I could practically smell menstrual blood in the air. After a few coughs, our instructor gave me an "Oh, shut up!" After half an hour, she kicked me out for not "taking the class seriously". FML
Today, I went to attend my summer school class again after being out sick for a week. When I said "Here" during roll call, everyone started cheering and clapping. Apparently, my professor has been badmouthing me while I've been absent for pretending to be sick. I'm sure my grade will be fantastic. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my professor why I’d missed two classes. Even with a doctor’s note explaining my very serious health issues, she rolled her eyes and huffed, "Maybe if you’re ‘oh so sick,’ you should just drop out!” Gee, sorry for trying to improve my life through adversity. FML
Today, I was kicked out of my review lecture at community college, for "being a disturbance and refusing to stop whistling." I wasn't even given a chance to explain that I have a cold. FML
Today, I decided to take a personal day from class and e-mailed all of my professors saying I had flu symptoms. While standing in line at Starbucks later, someone behind me said, "Glad you're feeling better. Hope you can attend class tomorrow, we'll discuss lying." It was my Ethics professor. FML
Today, I had to show up at an anti-drugs lecture with full-blown pink eye. It's from an ongoing bacterial infection, but the speaker said he'd heard that excuse a hundred times before, and shamed me in front of everyone. FML
Today, I was kicked out of college for not attending a class I wasn't ever enrolled in. FML
Today, I came to school really sick because I had to take an important exam. After I finally finished, I accidentally sneezed on my answer sheet right before turning it in. The teacher refused to take it. FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation in front of my class. Mid-speech, I felt a sudden urge to sneeze and tried to hold it in. Instead, I let out the most obnoxious, window-rattling sneeze imaginable, complete with a spray of snot, which landed on my notes. I think I traumatized my classmates for life. FML

You are sick -- you're just not contagious. Getting sprayed by your sputum would be unpleasant whether it contained pathogens or not.

COVID-19 has everyone scared to death. It has people acting like fools. I think the media blew this out of proportion.

I have wicked spring allergies that turn me into a bigger bitch than I already am....I would've made the prof feel like a dick and say that allergies aren't contagious and sat right down and refuse to leave

Stand up for yourself or quit complaining

Unfortunately if your allergy symptoms are too bad, you may not be able to tell if you have a minor case of COVID-19. If you are expelling bodily fluids (i.e. sneezing in class, actively running nose, coughing) it is wise to stay home and seek additional treatment for your allergic symptoms. If they are newly occurring for the season, don't assume they are allergies. People are trying to stay healthy, and we can't say who is infectious and who is not. The incubation period is 14 days. Honestly, some classes aren't even meeting, but anyone - if you have productive symptoms, fever, or shortness of breath, speak to your professor or work first about working from home while you are symptomatic and until COVID-19 can be ruled out.

Press charges, file a grievance, something.
