“Ugh, my allergies are killing me,” I groaned to my coworker. “I feel like my nose is swelling up. Does it look bigger to you?”

He looked over at me from the desk across the room.

“No, not really.”

Apparently he does not understand that telling me that my nose does not really look bigger means that it at least looks somewhat bigger. By the end of the day, my coworker is probably going to have to move his desk into the hallway to make room in our office for my nose. I’m going to cry into my heap of used tissues.
