Lindsay Lohan just caught a severe case of I-don’t-want-to-answer-for-my-crimes-itis.

She’s due in court tomorrow in L.A., but Max George’s Instagram buddy is currently holed up in New York with “an upper respiratory infection.” And sure, there are a few bugs going around, but we have a sneaking suspicion that the worst ailment LiLo is suffering from at the moment is Being Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay’s new lawyer Mark Heller submitted a letter that Lindsay is stricken with the flu and doesn’t want to be a health risk to other passengers on the flight. (Oh, that Lindsay... always putting everyone else ahead of herself!) However, it’s more likely that she doesn’t want to go to jail for lying to the cops about her car accident last year.

Sooo... she’s lying to get out of being punished for lying, is that it?

Is pathologically lying an illness? Because we believe she has a bad case of that.

For those who are unaware, common symptoms of a respiratory infection include headache, fever, vomiting, sore throat, and an uncontrollable urge to shop in SoHo.

“Wait, what?” you say. “When I have the flu I just want to stay home in bed! I don’t have the energy to shop!”

Well, you’re not Lindsay Lohan!

Despite no doubt suffering immensely from her grave illness and barely being able to walk, Lindsay was spotted by paparazzi (as always) hitting some SoHo shops ― and it’s not like she was in Duane Reed picking up Theraflu. We'd be willing to bet she was smoking like a chimney throughout the weekend, too, despite her allegedly ailing lungs.

If this were 2004, we’d totally give LiLo the benefit of the doubt. But since Lindsay has done approximately 4,792 untrustworthy things since then, we call BS on Lindsay’s flu.

Feel better, Lindsay! (In jail.)

Do you believe that Lindsay is really sick?
