Raziq's+Pet+Peeve+on+Colds!

Cough, cough! Sniff, sniff. One thi-Achoo!-ng that will **always** irk me is a cold. Yep, those puny, microscopic pieces of DNA really take a toll on your body? What makes them //so evil???// They just //have// to come jam-packed with the most annoying of the annoying symptoms: drippy, river-forming runny noses; thundering coughs; flaming-hot fevers; aggravating headaches; and on... and on... and on... Colds should not exist on this planet! One prime example of the trouble they cause comes from one innocent Friday morning, where I was just going to math class. Little did I know of a little virus brewing up inside of me, waiting for its time to strike. I sat down, picked up my pencil, and started solving problems, when all of a sudden, Atchoo! My nose literally exploded on the spot and what was left was a mess. The little juggernauts swept my nasal passages with icky, yellow mucus. Of course, they got curious and started drip-dripping like a broken faucet. I was abashed like crazy so I rushed to our teacher's desk for some napkins. But, fate became wicked and left rough paper towels in their place. I obviously cared not so I quickly snatched a few and proceeded to wipe my defiled nostrils. BAD MISTAKE! The abrasive surfaces of the cellulose chafed my skin like wind to the lips. So, not only was my nose damp with phlegm, it was inflamed too! The outcome was embarrassing, especially when you know your friends refuse to sit with a literally snotty person. Therefore, me and colds equal suffering and vexation. Days supposedly devoted to fun and learning are swapped with unfortunate homestays with pathogens as my guests. Oh, god, please spare me this year!
