Leonard: How was your day?
Penny: Oh, not good. Still couldn't get in to see Dr. Gallo.
Sheldon: A doctor? Well, I hope you're not contagious. I've got a weekend in the telescope room I've been excited about for almost three minutes.

I was at the library and this "person" sat at the table next to me. She was clearly sick, coughing uncontrollably. I really wanted to turn and ask her why she would come to a populated library when she was so sick. But, I said nothing and covered my face until my friend showed up. Next day I went to the movies the entire day, seeing three films. During the 2nd film, a family sat behind me, and one of their kids coughed and coughed. I wanted, again, to say something, instead I got up and moved. Does it irk you when people are out and about when they are sick?

Granted, we don't live in a perfect world; sometimes, people have no other choice but to venture out when they are sick. However, there are times when this is not the case and it is all I can do not to say something. Have you ever said something to someone who is clearly contagious?
Yes
