When you're innocently driving along the highway on your way to work, minding your own business, and you change lanes because yours is coming to an end... only to find you've inadvertently put yourself smack in the middle of a stranger's funeral procession. Awkward...
LOL  I've done this.  It is indeed very awkward to say the least.  I pondered whether or not to turn on my headlights so as to not break up the processional flow...

Being on a religion discussions forum, and debating with an agnostic over the historicity of Jesus.  Jesus H. fucking Christ, who knew an agnostic would be so fundamentalist about trying to prove he existed.
All things are no-thing.

Being told that I'm 'too young' to know that I'll never want to give birth to my own sprogs. I'm old enough to get serious about someone and get knocked up, it seems...but I said that if a future SO demands to have zir own kids with me, it'd be a deal-breaker for me. This is wrong, it seems.

So yeah. Old enough to get knocked up and ruin my entire life as well as the life of the kid, but not old enough to know that I don't want to pass on my fucked up genes and painful disorders/syndromes.

I just LOVE being 21!

Icky girl stuff ahead!

Ugh, my menstrual cramps annoy me. Every few months I get cramps that about knock me flat. Usually I just take a Tylenol and hop in the tub. By the time I get out it's starting to work, but not this time. I have some Vicodin left over from my migraine, so I even took half of one of those, but that's not working either (I always save my Vicodin for something normal pain pills can't seem to handle).

I wish I could tell you it gets better but I'm 24 and no doctor will even let me talk past 'I want to discuss more permanent birth control options...'

Apparently women are only allowed to make long-term reproductive decisions when those decisions are 'HAVE THE CHILD CONCEIVED ON A DRUNKEN NIGHT IN ATLANTIC CITY WITH A GUY WHOSE NAME I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER'. Sixteen-year-old girls are totally old enough to decide to keep/raise a child but 25-year-old independent women aren't old enough to decide NOT to.

Fuck the medical community with a brick.

Fuck 'em with a rusty lead pipe. Well, the OB/GYN ones, anyway; I hope to become an audiologist, and they tend to not have anything to do with reproduction.

...at least, I sure as hell HOPE they don't.

Thing is, my example wasn't from a medical standpoint, it was from the standpoint of a (single, childless) 30sish African-American lady who already seems to think I'm crazy (only because I'm honest when asked for my opinion-- yes, I find it crazy that people are more willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars trying to conceive one kid when they could adopt several; if you don't like my opinion, maybe you ought not ask for it next time). If it was from the standpoint of a doctor, I hate to think WHAT I'd do, considering that I was tempted to break one doctor's arm for refusing to treat my acne inversa.

Nope, that's pretty much the standpoint of every doctor I have ever spoken to. The conversation always goes like this:

Eighteen year old me: "I want to discuss a more permanent birth control for me."
Doc: "You are not old enough to decide not to have children."
Me: "But what if I told you I wanted to get pregnant and raise a child? Would I be too young to make that arguably equally permanent decision?"
Doc: "No, of course not, I would never dream of infringing on your reproductive rights!"
Me: "But only as long as those reproductive rights go as far as reproducing, rather than making sure I don't?"
Doc: "...gee golly gosh, lookit the time, I need to see my next patient who is pregnant with octouplets after spending a derpjillion dollars to conceive a child!"

Repeat at nineteen, twenty, 21, 22, 23, and 24. More or less verbatim.

I'd start asking just to see what they say, but I don't have the money for any of it (don't really have money for my anti-depressants), I think they'd look at me weird since I'm a virgin (haven't had an...exam yet, ever...shh.), and you just know my insurance doesn't cover it (it's explicitly laid out that 'elective sterilization' is not covered, period...pregnancy care is covered, but not elective sterilization).

I'm not an idiot, I know I'm ugly as sin and have a terrible personality (I would eat any romantic partners alive .-. I'm like a praying mantis) but rape doesn't depend on the attractiveness of the victim or zir relationship status, regardless of what some people think, so it's still possible for me to be impregnated. From my finances and what I've heard from you and other women, though, I'd have better luck gambling that I'm sterile like my great-aunts.

Funny how insurance companies aren't willing to pay the one-time cost of sterilization but are more than happy to shovel money with a bulldozer to people who want to add to human overpopulation. And let's not forget the complications that can come with pregnancy, versus the almost none that come with surgical sterilization.

I'm just completely convinced at this point that it has fuck all to do with wanting people to 'keep their options open' or insurance companies/national health (I've heard NHS in the UK and Canadaland won't pay for sterilization, either, but someone who lives in either place would obviously know better than I do) trying to save money. It's all about making damn sure women are popping out babies.

This is true, Ironbite. This is very, very true.

I think I've found the solution to world hunger...kill the health insurers to feed the overpopulated hungry! >.>

My mom has a nasty habit of asking me to come with her to "the store"... then mentioning after I've signed on and got ready that "the store" actually equals about five places. This sucks because I have no idea how long to tell people I'll be gone. >:(

EDIT: Okay, got a better one. Yesterday, I decided to, for shits and giggles, see how much it'd cost for me to assemble a new computer system. Not a top-of-the-line one, but one a few steps up from what I currently have, a Frankensteinian assembly of older parts that are more difficult to find replacements for. Top to bottom, the entire thing comes out to about $1100. When I told Mom about what I did, she immediately jumped to about three conclusions:

1. I've gone beyond looking prices up and made plans.
2. Any money I receive will go directly to this computer.
3. I will neglect my credit card and insurance to do it.

For fucks sake! I'm not a fucking idiot! We're talking a year down the line, so I don't have a repeat of the time my computer died on me without any plan for a replacement! For that matter, I love the assumption that I'm going to be completely irresponsible with my money, like I'm a fucking teenager. Best of all, when I called her on that fact, she said that I wasn't responsible because two months ago, my grandmother gave me $450, and I thought it would allow mom to not have to worry about me financially for four months, and it only lasted two. Well, you're right mom. I fucked up. I somehow thought you would continue to pay for my sisters to put gas on my car (they use it 99% of the time instead of me), and that you wouldn't borrow $70 of it, and not pay it back! This is some bullshit out of my mother. Fucking bullshit.

When someone who knows just exactly how much I'm hurting moneywise brags about having too much money they legitimately don't know what to do with it. This is after telling me plans about buying an iPad 2 AND a computer.

Oral surgery. I spent about 2 hours afterwards choking on my own blood and saliva because my mouth was too numb to swallow anything.

ADDENDUM:

My friend and roommate agrees with my mother! He said that I have a track record of fiscal irresponsibility! I haven't had any money to be irresponsible with in over a year. Where he's pulling this track record from is uncertain, but it smells of his ass.

Look, I've had problems with money back when I was a teenager, but to say that I would blatantly ignore my responsibilities in favor of a shiny new toy, at my age, is fucking retarded. The fact that they could be so judgmental so fast over so little is...

BULLSHIT.
