A friend of mine was freaking out because he had a fever last night but didn't have any Tylenol and didn't want to go out to get any because ... well, he had a fever. So I stopped by 7-11 to grab him some and dropped it on his front porch. Said the fever was gone this morning, but still ... kind of scary to be in that situation for him.

I do pay attention. I just don’t freak the fuck out like a lot of people do.
