I'm tired of all these "rankings" threads that are all over this site. You either have a sore throat or a headache, and you should appreciate being lucky enough to get either. It is the extreme applicant that has the privilege to choose both, and you really shouldn't be talking unless you've been personally approached by a head cold.

-1 to you sir! Will continue to vote down these preposterous threads in the future.

 

I hate headaches cause I can't think, but sore throats make my coffin nails less enjoyable. That said, headaches are curable with advil, sore throats are only somewhat treatable with Dayquil/Halls. I'll take a headache any day.

Headaches are more easily treatable. Hydration, easy medication and they go away. A sore throat takes days to leave; I'd take the first.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

headache not close, whilst a sore throat is somewhat inconveniant you can still function normally in all aspects of life.

a headache on the other hand during its duration entirely fucks your quality of life.

 

I'd take a sore throat (I've actually got both right now, FML). A sore throat is an inconvenience, a headache serious interferes with your ability to think, function, and enjoy yourself.

With the duration of the two equal, I'll take sore throat any day. Headache drops your iq by like 20-70 points, depending on severity.
