When I was in school, only the coolest and poshest girls had hay fever and so it was an incredibly cool ailment to have. Not far behind was asthma. Yea, yea, it's a horrible thing to live but at 15 it was also very fashionable.
Do you have any other examples of cool ailments from days gone by?

ReplyDeleteI had an ailment towards the end of my school days that some of you know about but it was far from cool, more something that made you an object of fear? Disdain? Humour?
