this one time I ran a red light on mistake and I didn’t notice it was red until it was too late so I just ran the light screeching like an angry pterodactyl the entire time
a cop was at the intersection so he pulled me over and when he came up to my window he was wheezing cause he was laughing so hard and he said
“ok so i know you ran a red light and that’s really bad and you should never do it again but i’m not gonna give you a ticket cause that was the funniest thing i’ve ever seen and my partner can’t get out of the car cause he’s laughing so hard he’s about to pee himself”
i forgot that i’d had my window open when i ran the red light and the cop told me that all he heard from my car was this really high-pitched “screeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
and that’s how i got out of getting a ticket for running a red light
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
My policy for the past couple of years is to go into the Doctor and state my symptoms. Then tell the Doctor. “STOP” “I want your diagnosis and treatnment options for someone weighing 135 pounds.” When they try to argue and immediately START with weight, I firmly reiterate they are to diagnose me as if I were 135 pounds. Eventually most grudgingly will think about it and answer me. I’ll allow them then to “triumphantly” go on to dismiss their previous diagnosis and pin everything on my weight.
Then I point out I have been the same weight for 15 years and these symptoms are sudden and new. My weight is no factor in that. Give me the tests and treatment you first mentioned.
This is how they discovered a large fibroid that needed to be removed. From stories I’ve heard from others, if I hadn’t approached it this way it might have taken me years of pain and discomfort before they might have finally discovered the fibroid and treated it.
Just remember;
DEMAND A DIAGNOSIS FOR THE SAME SYMPTOMS FOR A PERFECT BMI FOR YOUR HEIGHT FIRST!!!
honestly can we talk about that scene in death note where L sends out a death row criminal to impersonate him on live TV, and Light responds by killing him and going “haha, i just killed your smartest detective, police!”, only for the real L to come on air and be like “hi yeah that wasn’t me….. that was a no-name criminal that you couldn’t have heard about in the news….. also this isn’t actually an international broadcast it’s only in the kanto region in japan…. so you must live there…. also now i know that you need a face and name to kill somebody… so you can’t kill me……. k bye” absolutely legendary. what a goddamn moment
