Rage Virus Infection In My Office!!

edited June 2008 in Help / Advice Forum
A coworker in my office has these really red eyes and it appears he can see well and didn't look like infection or pink eye. I didn't want to ask him but was hoping someone could explain what it might be? He is Indian so maybe its a genetic thing?

    Yes because Indians are well known for having eye infections.

    Why don't you ask him, no one here has any idea.

    Or hey why not just mind your own business.

    Indians have atomic weapons, try not to insult the guy.

    This is his own business. Unless you're going to be licking his eye or anything I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    This is for my own curiosity. People here ask 'what this music is' or whatever. I just saw something and want an answer on what it is.

    Also, doesn't look like an infection either. But his eyes were blood red just like the rage zombies in 28 Weeks Later.

    You have been given several answers to your question, it is up to you to take that answer and do something useful with it.

    Octoparrot already gave you a possible answer: Maybe the guy likes to smoke something from Colombia.

    Perhaps he practices Yoga, placing his head on the floor while his legs are in the air in perfect verticall position, this can cause a temporal red eyes effect.

    Is he a welder?, it could be that he forgot his protective goggles.

    Maybe he's trying a new contact lens fluid. Or his dad died. We're not trying to be dicks, this is just out of our purview.

    No, we're all in IT. Unless someone on this thread is an eye doctor I guess I won't find my answer. Oh well.

    You always have the rapid test option, this is how it works:

    Take the subject against his will to the doctor, ask the doctor to quickly give his opinion because you can't wait till tomorrow to find out.

    If kidnapping your coworker isn't an option, or isn't desirable, you could instead kidnap the doctor.

    Any second now he will start spewing blood, and getting really angry. Attacks will be made.

    Then a chopper will carry the infection elsewhere.

    It sounds like some form of Conjunctivitis. Have him see a doctor, there's medicine to resolve the many different types of conjunctivitis.

    EDIT: Removed my unrelated story =) I thought it was amusing, then realized, like most of my stories, it wasn't. =)

    I had a blood-red eye one day and a co-worker asked what it was. It's not really that weird or anything.

    For the record I have no idea what it was and it went away in a day or two. I think it was too much staring at a tiny TV playing games.

    Red eyes are a definite sign of lupus. Do you live near Plainsboro?

    This is the sort of piece of shit you are

    This is how you represent yourself to the rest of Internet society

    Despite not being real society we still deserve better than this

    Explain why your stupid, racist, piece of shit ass should not just be banned and be done with it or is your porno-hot ex-wife who surprisingly enough wasn't satisfied with your swinger lifestyle bullshit going to chime in because I wouldn't want to stand in the way of THAT.

    You think he's fucking racist because he thought it MIGHT be some kind of genetic thing on part of him being Indian? Sure it's an ignorant thing to say but calling him racist is a stretch that you seem to enjoy going to just so you can call him a piece of shit.

    If this is any kind of society, I don't think you acting like a fucking ignorant dickhead who seems to almost get off on insults will improve the society. His intent was just that of curiousity and mild conscern, and your intent is to be a dick on the internet because you probably don't have the fucking balls to be one in real life.

    Well on that note I think we can lock this utterly horrible thread.
