He's never just "kinda congested", or "summer cold", or "low-grade fever, no big", or "headache", nonono. Not with this absolute fucking unit.
With him it's "literally dying!" ((sniffles)) "literally almost choked to death!" ((stuffy nose))/"literally couldn't breathe for 5 minutes!" (<--- maybe I'll give him this one, given his flatlined brain activity), "almost bled to mother fucking death!" ((nicked himself shav-wait.)), and "EXCRUCIATING PAIN!!1!" ((mild discomfort)). "Excruciating pain." Lol. He has never in his entire life been in "excruciating pain". Everything gotta be a 5-alarm trashfire with him, lol.
And even if he did have an earache (he doesn'), your ears almost always tell you something is wrong before it goes full-on want to die (because yes, ear infections are the worst). But you can feel your shit getting wonky (popping, equilibrium being off, etc.) before the pain hits. It wouldn't be ramped up to fuckin eleven overnight. There's no earache, fuck that. This is not a guy who suffers in silence. He would've been whining about his headphones on Sunday, tweeting about ear canal ouchies yesterday, & by today, yes, he'd have been bitchpissing all over the internet about how he has an inoperable brain tumor.
Grown. Ass. Man. I fucking swear he still wears diapers. He's a rotten 8 year old trying to get out of going to school.
