Seriously... why the hell are we celebrating a girl who (likely) did something incredibly dangerous and could have killed someone. This girl is a jackass, and I am pissed we’re giving her the attention she so desperately wants. UGH!

I’m a Canadian living in Kuwait. Please tell me how I should reasonably be expected to know a goddamned thing about some random woman in some hobunky town in a country on the opposite side of the planet? Let alone know anything about the local laws there.

HAPPY DAYS, I’M OUTTA THE GREYS!!

Off-topic, but this is driving me crazy. My first post on Jezebel was 5/03/12 (that’s right... May of two thousand and fricken TWELVE!) and despite regularly posting ever since, I am STILL in the greys. Can someone PLEASE explain this to me?!

Dear jacket-god,

I travel overseas for long periods of time, so I always go to the doctor and stock up before I leave. I take my necessary maintenance drugs (thyroid and asthma stuff) in excess (i.e. 300+ pills).

LMAO! I was ‘prescribed’ a face mask in Taiwan when I had bronchitis. Talk about a weird cultural difference to get used to. No one seemed phased by my mask-wearing.

Fuck... I have had that happen to me too. I was pissing blood, went to the hospital and peed in a cup for the (male) doctor. He sat there trying to convince me that it was my period for 15 minutes. Thankfully, despite being a young trickius, I was very adamant that it was in fact my piss (and I do believe I said…

I have gotten shit for being too “too the point” and “too smart” on multiple occasions.

This sounds like exactly what happened when I reported harassment at my workplace. I was a young lass at the time, and a boy I worked with liked me. Instead of being a normal person, he expressed his adoration by physically harming me. He was taking elastics and snapping them on my back so hard that they were leaving…

You know, I have always wondered if my wanderlust developed because we moved so much when I was a kid. I moved at *least* once a year... sometimes more.

Letting us know that it is expected and normal is soothing to me. An estimated time of duration is also incredibly appreciated (vague time frames are good, because then if it lasts longer than 10 minutes you said it would take, I start panicking). I fucking hate turbulence, but if someone lets me know that everything…

Pedantic point entirely valid. I always group fungi and nightshades (my allergist was telling me that one usually comes hand-in-hand with the other, so I mentally grouped them). But you are completely right.

This!

This is the most frustrating. I have a lot of allergies... my body is simply highly reactive (severely atopic), and it sucks. But a majority of the impact from these allergies don’t show up until much later... i.e. when I am in the bathroom.

God is more concerned about making sure you find a diamond, instead of paying attention to the millions of starving and dying people.

Truth.

Sorry... dumping isn’t allowed in Canada. You can keep your own garbage.

My OB-GYN asked “Is there any chance you could be pregnant?” and I said “Only if it was immaculate conception”.

I am so glad this topic came up... it’s been a current discussion in my relationship, and I have really been struggling with it.
