ONE-THIRD OF COUPLES SAY THEIR PARTNER IS A BABY WHEN THEY’RE SICK.
THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW SURVEY OF 2,000 AMERICANS, CONDUCTED BY TALKER RESEARCH ON BEHALF OF ZIP-FIZZ.
THOSE WHO LIVE WITH A PARTNER ALSO DESCRIBED THEM AS STUBBORN (25%) AND DRAMATIC (23%) WHEN THEY’RE SICK — WHILE 22 PERCENT SAID THEIR PARTNER REFUSES TO ADMIT THEY’RE SICK.
THE RESULTS DID FIND THAT OVERALL, AMERICANS SURVEYED ONLY FEEL 100 PERCENT FIT AND HEALTHY FOR JUST 16 DAYS OF THE AVERAGE WINTER MONTH.
THE SURVEY LOOKED TO SEE WHAT COMMON AILMENTS ARE DRAGGING US DOWN IN THE COLDER MONTHS.
THE NUMBER ONE TELL-TALE SIGN CITED WAS LACK OF ENERGY (58%), FOLLOWED BY THE MORE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF COUGHING (42%), SORE THROAT (40%) AND CONGESTION (38%).
OTHER LESS OBVIOUS SYMPTOMS INCLUDED MIXING UP WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS (29%), GETTING IN ARGUMENTS WITH LOVED ONES (21%) AND PUTTING OBJECTS IN UNUSUAL PLACES (14%), LIKE ACCIDENTALLY PLACING KEYS IN THE FRIDGE.
