Faux Injuries

What is it with people who over dramatize their health problems?  I went to high school with a kid who hobbled around on crutches for a week gaining sympathy from anyone who would listen about his injured foot which turned out to be a simple hangnail on his big toe (I guess the dude never heard of toenail clippers).  Anyway, the reason I ask is that there is a lady that I work with that walks past my desk every day wearing a sling on her arm yet it doesn't prevent her from performing mundane tasks like turning a door knob.  What is up with that?
