Thank you to all you brainless, inconsiderate, disease-infested pax who sneeze and cough into the air in my car! Yo mama didn't raise you right!!

I guess I didn't crack open the windows fast enough the other night when these 2 separate pax had sneezing and coughing fits without covering their mouths, or doing it into their elbow, scarf, coat, etc.

Now I'm home in bed, battling an upper respiratory infection that's kicking my @$$, and ranting on this forum.

Don't hesitate to spray Lysol into the air and open the windows on these nasty pax. I don't care how cold it is outside. Drive safe and stay warm out there guys!

Keep sanitizer wipes in the car too. Lysol, for sure.

2 Pax, different rides. Had a nasty pax, coughing bad... I offered tissues both times.

Checked next day on in light... looked like One of the filthy pax had left mucus on the back of seat behind me. Not sure if from nose or mouth cough. Just nasty... Not a lot but enough to annoy. I Didn't know which to blame it on, so I just cleaned and moved on.

I try to check floor/seat after each trip, but not directly behind me.

I think that being exposed to small amounts of pax' coughed-up and sneezed-out airborne sputum acts as an inoculator. I haven't had a cold or flu in the three years since I started rideshare.

today a guy got into my car for a 20 Min ride. it took about 30 seconds after I started the ride to realize he wreaked of horrible cigarette stink. I opened the front left and right windows all the way - but put the heat on blast. I think he knew why I did it because he didn't day a word.
I don't pick up freshly-smoked pax. They stink too much.

As us in the nursing community would say, wash your hands! Hand hygiene is really the best way to prevent getting sick. There is no sure way to know how/when one gets sick as the incubation period for both the common cold and the flu is 2-4 days. Something to keep in mind. But no doubt sick pax are indeed nasty little creatures :rolleyes: Now, if your pax has TB then nothing will save you from that airborne hell. Good luck this season thou :D

If you're a nurse then you should know that TB is not easily transmitted by a few coughs or sneezes. If it was as easily transmitted as the common cold then humankind would have become extinct thousands of years ago.

I've never had chicken pox, and don't plan on getting it in my 40's. I saw how it destroyed one of my friend's skin. His face is gravel now. If a mother with a poxed out kid tried getting in my car I'd lock the doors and leave them in a cloud of tire rubber.
I had it when I was 23. The same year the vaccination was introduced. o_O

It was pretty horrific getting it as an adult. Definitely get vaccinated.
