I think it’s funny that I can set the turn signal sound in my car to “fart”. I think it’s even funnier I can make the sound appear to come from the passenger seat. ---

My left arm hurts and I’m having trouble breathing and my vision is blurring. Yeah, maybe I should go to the doctor, but I’ma wait a couple days and see if it gets better on its own first. I don’t actually have these symptoms for real, don’t freak out ---

I can wear the same pair of pants 4-5 days in a row and nobody will notice. I own one pair of shoes. I would sooner slit my own throat than talk to someone in a public restroom. ---
