Jeff googled "irregular pain in the kidney area" to see what was up. WebMD told him that it could just be a muscle strain; this was Jeff's self diagnosis and he decided that was the problem and didn't go to the doctor. 8 months later Jeff found out he had terminal hip bone cancer and that he had only 2 years to live.

Elise had a slight pain in her neck after falling off her bed in the middle of the night and hitting herself. Being a chronic neurotic, she feared for the worst, googled it, just in case.

self-diagnoser 

self diagnosers are the people that like fidget cubes so they say "I need it so I can focus". Then the next day they will be like "omg i feel like I need fidget constantly, Omg I have such bad adhd" . This is very annoying not to mention how fucking annoying it is to people that actually have adhd. First of all stop, second of all GET A DIAGNOSIS!! I can't even tell you how many people are like "Do you really think i can go talk to that person? I have depression, anxiety, and social anxiety!!" I am so sorry that you are feeling fidgety, nervous, or sad, but mental illness isn't an adjective! I know karen looked up 7 "100% accurate not-fake (adhd/anxiety/depression/other mental illness)" test on google and its said she had whatever mental illness, but you really can't throw around those terms. in conclusion, self diagnosers piss people off! it doesnt matter how much u rlly think you have it, GET A DIAGNOSIS! DONT GO AROUND SAYING THAT U HAVE RLLY BAD THIS OR THAT WHEN YOU PROBABLY DON'T! PLEASE JUST DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS THAT U ARE REALLY SURE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE YOU GET A DIAGNOSIS FROM A REAL DOCTOR/PSYCHOLOGIST! NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR "STRUGGLES"! JUST SHUT UP!!!!
karen says she has ADHD because she is feeling fidgety (after drinking 7 red bulls) WHAT A self-diagnoser!

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
