I had the EXACT same experience. In addition to being horrifying and expensive, it is humiliating.

I got the first shot, was told it was covered by insurance, then was billed for it and it was NOT covered and insanely expensive, the office was mean about it, I was embarrassed and terrified and awkward, and I never finished the series. This was pre-Obamacare.

Quite!!! Here are the stars you deserve.

I appreciate this fact-checking. At least SOME people need to still pay attention to facts, truth, and critical thinking. I despise Trump as much as everyone - and had also assumed that he was totally making things up - but at least for once his xenophobia and rabble-rousing is based on something that actually…

OMG I shouldn’t be surprised at these horror stories of Nextdoor but... I am :( I guess I am lucky. In my neighborhood, it’s pretty much all “looking for recommendations for ____,” buying/selling/free stuff, advertising local events (e.g., concerts in the park, parades), and complaining about skunks (lol). Sometimes…

Why is nobody talking about the Obvious Best Black Bond?? MIKE COLTER. DAYUM.

Too complex and individual to address via Kinja comments. Let it suffice to say, it IS different. Whether it’s because things you thought you could stand in a “boyfriend/girlfriend” seem suddenly unbearable in a forever “husband/wife,” gender roles that you didn’t know you had come to light, the security of that added…

Lovely explanation.

He did not meet his goal. He looked foolish and uninformed except to those who have selective deafness when women speak.

OMG, President Trump? You read Jezebel?!

BECAUSE CAPITALISM. And, yes, that constant anxiety is basically life as a decent person buying services in the US. See: hiring movers, and hiding in the bathroom while frantically googling, “How much to tip movers” on your phone. Or, and this one was new and shocking to me, how much to tip the front desk staff if you…

Thanks for the Art History tune-up! :D

Well done. Agreed.

For the people who are legit confused - this is NIMBYism pure and simple. Ever get upset by your neighbors cussing loudly at each other at night? Ever feel uncomfortable with a neighbor’s shady teenage son and his friends hanging around outside late at night? Ever think about renting a place, then reconsider because…

Holy Hell, my friend, what a doozie! Hang in there!!!! I’m on kind of the tail end (how do we even tell these things?) of a divorce myself, and I can 100% guarantee you things will get better. (They may also stay real bad for a little bit, but there IS light at the end of the tunnel.) I’m very sorry for what you are…

Same experience here! Chronic adolescent dehydration. Constant headaches and dizziness. Nobody ever suggested it might be dehydration. It wasn’t until my college orientation camping trip when I learned that dizziness and headaches and pee color can all indicate dehydration!

ME TOO! Only, band practice under the California sun. Massive sunburns, too. Even passed out a couple of times, though nobody suggested I might be dehydrated. And man was that kidney stone a bitch. For me it was 11 years after HS graduation!

In my area, it was, “1-2-3 WATER HOG!!!” and then you were fair game for poking, prodding, teasing, and other such attempts to GTFO and make room for the next kid.

Plus, bathrooming while in school can be a HUGE ORDEAL. “Excuse me, teacher? May I please go pee? No? Okay, cool, I’ll just sit here and concentrate on not…

I am just getting out of a marriage to a man who sounds exactly the same way. Basically, he wanted to avoid all emotions (especially negative ones) completely, and if he had any feelings, they were my fault. Me: “Wow, look at those flowers, aren’t they pretty?” Him: “Stop making me feel bad for not having flowers in…
