25 Times You Might Want to Poison Yourself
According to a recent news story, a man allegedly poisoned himself to avoid a court sentence. The guy didn't want to go to jail, so what did he do? Oh, you know, popped a few homemade cyanide pills and called it a day…or, uh, a life.
Ultimately, this was a sad story, because the man did die. And while suicide still isn’t cool and never will be, it did get me wondering about some things that, in theory, would be a heck of a lot easier to deal with if, I don’t know, you were unconscious on the floor. Again, I’m not insinuating that anyone should jump off of a bridge when the going gets tough; I’m just saying that it’s too bad there isn’t an auto-eject button for when we want to peace out of a situation we don’t feel like dealing with. Or a maybe a life-friendly cyanide pill that would put us into a temporary coma so we could wake to the eradication of whatever it was we didn’t feel like dealing with.
So, for poops and giggles, I thought of some times in life when you might just want to close your eyes and make it all go away (but come back alive, please).
