These Husbands Can’t Handle A Little Cold
What is it about men that makes them such babies about being sick? Why is it that when a woman gets a cold, she can work from home, do the dishes, feed the cat, pick up the dry cleaning, and take care of everybody else in the household, but when a man gets sick, he has to lie on the couch, watch TV, and complain about his stuffy nose?
Men have absolutely no tolerance for a stuffy nose.
Another Kid
This wife knows that when her husband is home sick, she's going to be the one doing all of the work. Honestly, it might actually be easier to have 20 kids.
He Can't Take It Anymore
When men have a cold, we never hear the end of it. If they're not talking about their symptoms, they're just moaning loudly so everybody else can suffer with them.
This Is The End
Sick men really should have a violinist playing sad music by their bedsides at all times. It would complement the level of melodrama they project into the world quite nicely.
This Is Not A Drill!
Get to your battle stations, ladies! A man is sick! Barbara, you get the tissues, Melanie, you run to the store to pick up some vitamin C, Jane, you're on tea duty.
Back On The Market
This woman knows that she can't possibly stick around now that her husband has a cold. She's going to get out before the going gets tough. What a smart cookie.
The Definition Of The Man Flu
For those of you who don't know, the term "man flu" refers to a regular cold that men can't handle very well. To the fairer sex, a man flu is just a cold.
He Always Has It Worse
Men always think they're getting the raw end of the deal. This woman is absolutely right. She could be dying and her husband would still think that his cold was more of an issue.
An Overreaction
Thoughts and prayers do really help at a time like this. They're not going to cure this man's cold or save his marriage, but at least they won't make things any worse.
Emergency Donuts
Sometimes, all you need is a few glazed donuts to make everything all better. It's amazing how these sweet treats can make sick me so happy and give tired wives a few moments of peace.
Man Down!
This wife knows that when her husband starts complaining, it's always wise to double-check the accuracy of his statements. "Man dying" is not the same thing as "real dying."
A Mug For A Man
This mug really does say it all. You know the man flu is a widespread issue when mugs like this start becoming available for sale. There must be a lot of man flu survivors out there.
Men Vs. Women
When women have the flu, they still manage to make sure that the kitchen is clean and the pets are fed. When men have the flu, they leave all that to their wives.
That Seems Harsh
This woman has absolutely had enough of her husband's complaining. It's time to put him out of his misery. We really hope that this Tweet is a joke. It's a joke, right?
Milking It
Men like to milk their illnesses for all they're worth. Plenty of rest only applies when you're sick. After you recover, you should get just as much rest as the rest of us.
The Difference Between Men And Women
This woman's husband thinks that cleaning out the basement is a great sick day activity, but only when his wife is sick. When he's sick, he sips soup and complains.
The Worst Of Times
This comic says it all. When men get sick, it's like the world has ended. It's like they think they'll never recover. They become bedridden and unhelpful while women offer them orange juice.
She Can Do It All
How is it that this woman with an actual incurable illness is more productive during the day than her husband who is suffering from a common cold? It doesn't make any sense.
Always Complaining
How do you know if a man has a cold? That's easy. He'll tell you about it. And then he'll tell you about it some more. Pretty soon, you'll get tired of hearing him talk about it.
A Thousand Babies
Having one sick man in your house is like having a thousand babies in your house. At least a thousand babies is something to see. A sick man isn't really much to look at.
It Never Ends
Even after husbands recover from their man flu, it still isn't over. They like to drag the suffering out for a few more weeks just to make sure we really understand how hard it all was for them.
Straight To The ER
Does a common cold require a trip to the emergency room? Absolutely not. Does that mean that this man won't end up in the ER? No, it very much does not.
An Illustration
This comic plainly illustrates what it's like when men get sick. They lie in bed and complain about their symptoms until they're blue in the face. Maybe it's all the talking that's making them sicker.
Ice Cream Solves Everything
If your husband has a case of the sniffles, you really should run down to the store, grab a pint of ice cream, and treat yourself. You know you deserve it.
They Can't Take It
Look at these men moping around with their mugs and cozy blankets. Men turn into such babies when they get sick. Next thing you know, your sick husband is going to ask you for a pacifier.
Stiff Competition
I promise you being nine months pregnant is way more uncomfortable that just having a cold. Did you know that having a stuffy nose can be a pregnancy symptom? Probably not, because women don't talk about that symptom much...
Feel Bad For Yourself
Being a sick man's primary caregiver in his time of need is no easy feat. You really should take care of yourself during this difficult time. Run a hot bath for yourself and don't let him get in it.
Not The Same Thing
You'd think from the way men behave when they're sick that having a cold is just as painful as delivering an 8-pound baby. It's not. They're being way too dramatic.
The Big Sleep
When men have a cold, they basically start coffin shopping. It's like they think that they'll never make it through this mild sickness or live to see another healthy day.
Beer Solves Everything
This man thought that the best way to cure his cold would be to crack open a cold one. He was tired of all that Lemsip. Newsflash: beer isn't medicine.
An Emergency Situation
Bring out the stretcher! Get this man on a gurney, stat! He needs fluids, a hot compress, a massage, full Netflix access, and all of his favorite foods cooked for him ASAP!
