This is nowhere near as bad, but I once had diarrhea in my car because I mistook the cramping for menstrual cramps. When I realized it wasn’t, I was miles from an offramp with facilities.

I dated a guy once who tried to take me to the ER because he thought I had appendicitis. He couldn’t believe cramps actually hurt that much.

I begged my parents to let me see a doctor for my period pain and my stepmother, who was apparently born in 1483, insisted there was nothing doctors could do and my father believed her.

I’ve always described it as like having your guts in a vise. Someone’s squeezing that vise tighter and tighter and they’ll occasionally let go, but the second you’ve caught your breath they start squeezing again.

Maybe I’m jaded but here’s my take: were I stop to listening to music, reading novels, or watching movies/television created by degenerates, I would have little entertainment in my life.

I was just thinking about my somewhat similar experiences earlier today. I apparently looked to be in my 20s by the time I was 12. I was treated like crap by people my own age but garnered attention from adult men. I however, was terrified and disgusted by it. Had I not been, my life could have easily gone in a very,…

I was passed over for a job at my own alma mater for someone who graduated from a school with a better rep.

I applied there and then the funding for the position was cut.

First of all, I’m an academic libarian (not faculty and therefore scum). Secondly, this is based on the hugely scientific sample of “people I’ve worked with” but it’s true in my field and seems to actually be worse for Generation X and milliennials. Women library directors all seem to have kids but the department…

My parents do it, too but as my stepfather is illiterate* I know he’s not hearing anything she didn’t tell him.

This.

I once saw one of those Fredandginger Rogers Facebook accounts saying stupid shit all over the comments on a news item, then come back and apologize for all the stupid shit her husband said earlier. If I had more time on my hands for fucking with people on the internet, I’d create a fake husband/wife account just to…

I’ve never tried it but it just seems to me that hot liquid in copper would taste of metal.

I love kundalini and I’m laughing at her shit.

Somebody’s pointed out the irony of her last name, right? Cuz that’s some funny shit.

every politician is a shill, nobody with real values is actually electable

I’m so totally an old. I don’t understand this thing where people broadcast to the world their petty relationship bullshit.

Oh, and I also thing the people who talk repeatedly about how OVERJOYED they are to be getting older and how AMAZING and BLESSED their lives are, are also mostly trying to convince themselves.

More or less an actual conversation had here on Gawker last year:
