Curious

I am an undergraduate student, and am enjoying my summer break:) This morning, a professor sent me an email asking if I am able to contact one of my best friends because he has not replied four recent professor's emails. I texted him, and he immediately replied me back: "Thanks for telling me. It is impossible for me to check my email because I am sick." I was a little shocked and curious how bad his sickness is. He then said, "Nothing to worry about! I have only had a sore throat for 3 days" Now, I assume he is just a lazy guy who barely check emails -- even he is now in college -- and makes up nonsense excuses. What do people think?

I would say your assumption is correct.

You're bored?

You've done your bit, probably nothing to worry about.

Perhaps your friend was having a l*ms*p or B**ch*ms to ease his pain when he spilled the contents into to his keyboard or i thingy device and has been unable to get it working again?

I think its not your business. You have passed on the prof's message as you were asked to.

I'm guessing your friend knows the Prof has been trying to get in touch and wants to ignore it for whatever reason (resits, paper not done etc etc). You've done your bit now step back.

A sore throat doesn't stop you checking your emails, I have been really ill and still managed to keep in touch with people about work even when I had proper flu and could hardly sit up. You've passed the message on, I wouldn't worry about it tbh.

Perhaps he is having a great time and doesn't want to be interrupted. Perhaps he does not think it is important that people can contact him 24/7. Perhaps he feels that what he is doing is no one elses business. Perhaps he is catching up with work and doesn't want to be disturbed. Perhaps you should ask him rather than ask total strangers .......just saying!
