So, someone wrote into an advice column that they discovered they had herpes
and wondered what to do now that they were dating. They wanted permission not to tell anyone because, after all, they were only having casual sex, so why bother letting anyone know? (Yes, that is absolutely horrid, but I've ceased being surprised by terrible people ever since this last election.)
Well, I got sucked into the article and the comments and someone replied with a link to an article called "HOW TO TELL SOMEONE
YOU HAVE HERPES." I thought, huh, that sounds interesting, how DO you tell someone you have herpes?
So I clicked on it, read the article and went back to work.
Later I realized FUCK. That was on my WORK. COMPUTER. Now the entire IT
Department will think I have herpes. Great.
I'll bring in brownies and
they'll be all "oh, don't touch those, that girl with the open sores
made them."
::facepalm::
My only defense is weak. When I am ACTUALLY researching a disease I think I have, I SCOUR the fucking internet for hours. Not
one click. But imagine trying to explain that!
