Me on Nov 1st: Sorry boss, I can’t make it in today, I’ve got a case of Havana syndrome
I know, it is one of the funniest things to me right now. I’m firmly in the camp that it just doesn’t exist and all these Mormons and nerds are getting shitty drunk on the regular for the first time in their lives. I can be convinced that it might be their guilty conscious but after cases started popping up around the world I can’t believe the CBC’s pesticide theory anymore.
I think it started out with a very small handful of people high on hubris getting exposed to pesticides, then that group basically talked themselves into other symptoms with a mass psychogenic illness, only for it to blow up as a bunch of ghouls called out of work with hangovers.
Lol, my dad is a retired sailor and has been to Cuba quite a few times. Apparently bars there sell a mint liquor that’s sweet, fresh and devilishly strong, but you won’t know it until you try and stand up. Wonder how many after-work dos ended with Havana syndrome because of it.
