If you're in Australia, rinse with vinegar. If you're in Australia and it feels like you're going to die, dial 000. If you're in America or Europe, suck it the fuck up unless you actually need medical attention.

It was in a Friends episode and went kind of viral, before going viral was a thing.
It's based on the notion that ammonia disables certain jellyfish species' stinging cells, but there's a few things wrong here.
1) There is no ammonia in pee unless you leave it for days and process the hell out of it
2) Ammonia doesn't…

I was on vacation internationally on this tiny island and the staff was telling us to watch out for while snorkeling and stuff. Jelly fish, lion fish, rays and such. They asked if we knew what to do if we got stung. A fellow American's hand shot up, "YOU PEE ON IT!"

DO NOT PEE ON JELLYFISH STINGS. DO NOT PEE ON JELLYFISH STINGS. DO NOT PEE ON JELLYFISH STINGS.

For what it's worth, I cured my cystic acne by drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruit and vegetables (also known as ending my shitty college days diet), and using alpha-hydroxy acids in peels and moisturizers. Took about 8 months.

I used to work the Union Square Farmers Market, and that meant showing up at 6 Am or earlier at the park.

Like, 13 years ago, I got arrested for "borrowing" an RV that was for sale in my neighbors yard. He had left the keys in the ignition. My pal and I (totally sober btw) decided to take it for a spin around the block. When we got back the cops were waiting for us. My neighbor didn't press charges. He actually kinda…

Halloween, senior year of college. My friends and I went as a merry band of troubadours or something like that and won Best Group Costume (my other friend, in spectacular full drag as Mae West, won Best Costume). For some reason, I was semi-sober when I got home, was still dressed in my room when two carloads of…

These are two not necessarily "walk of shame" stories, but more complete Halloween pandemonium.

[Two years ago(?)] Still in my full Magenta costume, makeup, and hair, I woke up on my friends kitchen floor. In my hand, a candy bar. The box was on the counter. I deducted that after the party, very very drunk, I went to stay at my friend house. And at some point during the night had gotten up from the couch to get…

It was actually the middle of August and not a walk of shame BUT...

I didn't see this one, but rather I lived it. My costume was "Roller Girl", complete with old school skating rink roller skates. There was a "gentleman" whose attention I had commanded—he didn't live in the city that I did, so I accompanied him to his hotel. After a few hours of sleep, I decided it was time to make my…

What about cutest, funniest kids...

My ruby slippers left a trail of craft glitter all the way from the train to my front door the next morning.

This one time I was a grown ass man and I wore a Halloween costume for something other than the amusement of children.

Sorry, I must have missed the part where someone said that only taxi drivers were allowed to pick up people at airport, or that people who weren't being paid to pick people up were gaming the system by not paying the livery commission. Mind pointing it out?

I don't charge her, but if pickup is reserved only for taxis, then I'm out of luck.

Word. It's consumer choice. I don't agree with restrictions for pickup at airports. If you want to force everyone to pay the livery commission, then you also deny anyone dropping anyone off at the airport. "Sorry Mom, I can't pick you up because I don't have a medallion." Wait a minute. You're onto something…

Paying to be able to pick people up at the airport is a scam in it's self.

End of the day, if someone wants to avoid a taxi and go with Uber, they will. Even if it means walking away from the airport to do so. Personally, I've had crappy experiences with taxis so I stay away with them and i'm sure other people feel the same way.
