5 Funny Things Men Do When They’re Sick!

Here are a few things many of us men do when we are sick. Ladies let me know if this sounds familiar….

1) We Become Whiney

Yes, yes when we don’t feel good and are sick we become attitudinal and whiney all at the same time. The baby in us comes all the way out and the overly masculine walls break down. We want nothing more than to be able to whine and lay our head on your lap or bosom.

2) We Become Needy

We need DayQuil, NyQuil, Tylenol, Tea, Heating Pads, a home cooked meal that we will probably pick over, and some soup because we are still hungry. We are stuck lying on the couch and we need you to please pass us the remote because it’s too far for us to get up and go get it. Our wives get tired of hearing us call out “baby can you…” from downstairs all the way upstairs. She gets a little frustrated, but she does it anyway.

3) We REFUSE to go to the doctor

We’ve heard you say 1000 times that we should set up an appointment at the doctor and we have yet to do so. We keep trying to “tough it out” and we keep looking up home remedies on the internet and thinking chicken noodle soup solves every problem. We keep refusing to go to that doctor until finally you just make the appointment and drop us off there because you’re tired of us whining.

4) We want to be affectionate

We know we are full of germs, snot and hacking, but suddenly we want to hug and cuddle. Our wives are looking at us like “where was all of this before you got sick!” HA. She just wants to spray Lysol all over you because she knows your nasty hands are contagious, but she doesn’t want to turn you away. Then we wonder why she is sick a few days later.

5) We are “out of commission”

When we are sick suddenly our hands don’t work, mouths don’t work, feet don’t work and brains don’t work. The only thing that works are our eyes as we watch sports center while curled up on the couch. You ask us to do something and the response it probably, “can’t you see that I’m sick!” Hey we only get to play the sick card a few times a year so let us live in the moment!
