Headcolds suck rocks.

There is nothing more annoying, outside of a toddlers screaming and the like, than a head cold. You feel terrible, like your head is going to explode, but there is really nothing bad going on to warrant really calling yourself sick. Especially the ones that stay in your head and don't travel down into your nose. No dripping, no coughing and hacking, just plain being miserable.

Nobody cares, after all you don't look sick, so therefore they get annoyed when you want the volume down because you have a headache. At most you'll get an 'Oops, sorry.' Not that they're really sorry, they're just hoping to not get screamed at then any real sympathy.
