A woman called the flight attendant and complained about me, but just a few minutes later, she deeply regretted her actions 😨😲
I knew I didn’t look great. Fever, chills, dry cough — it all hit me right before the flight. But canceling the trip wasn’t an option: tickets were bought, hotel paid for, meetings scheduled. I had no choice but to pull myself together and get on the plane.
I quietly took my seat by the window, trying not to disturb anyone. I pulled out my water bottle, placed some tissues nearby, and prepared to spend the next few hours as peacefully as possible.
But only ten minutes after takeoff, an angry voice rang out in the cabin:
— “This is unbearable! He’s coughing constantly! I don’t have to put up with this!”
