Why do people persist in that poo poo? Since when has a company (1) used humour in their replies to customers or (2) quoted the sender verbatim?

I love when people post these trying to claim they're letters they personally received and the spelling and grammatical errors across both their posts and the letters are consistent

Video goes viral. Couple realise the lie is getting too big, fake a miscarriage.

PUGGERNAUT posted:That doesn't make it any less sucky for them. I'm just baffled by the way they've handled everything! I get that everyone grieves in different ways but this just seems so sleazy and opportunistic. I took ElGroucho's comment to mean that when you think of all the women who have miscarried and suffered emotional pain for it, how extra lovely this stupid publicity stunt would seem from their point of view.

That's what I'm trying to say. When it happens, you go "whelp" and try again. You'll be pretty lucky if it doesn't happen to you at least once while trying to get preggers. Making a social media event out of it is a shitbag move, especially for all the women who get to 8 months in and have complications that result in miscarriage.

There's a reason that most people don't announce their pregnancies until after the first trimester.

A miscarriage is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for couples to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the woman than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

I know someone who had like, 10 consecutive miscarriages with no successful pregnancy. Being "a woman who had a lot of miscarriages" became such a part of her identity, it got really weird. She'd share facebook things about how moms who had miscarriages are the best and smartest kind of moms, and all you other moms don't understand, blah blah blah. She adopted two toddlers, and it's now a 5:1 ratio on social media of sharing something miscarriage related vs. sharing photos of or experiences with her adopted kids.

I don't think anyone has brought this up but the attention being paid towards miscarriages in the last month is likely due to Mark Zuckerberg's open letter/article/editorial or whatever that shared his family's struggle. It was obviously long after they had gone through the process but he wanted to shed some light, in part to remind couples that they weren't alone and also to remind men that they are allowed and should feel something from the loss.

I take it all back Testing your partner's piss in the toilet for pregnancy and then posting the fake results to the internet is good and proper Then posting the miscarriage news as a transparent ploy to backtrack, simultaneously garnering the easily influenced pro-life crowd is even better

Dude I think it was the "When it happens, you go "whelp" and try again," comment that people were taking issue with. That's not actually always the case because to different people a miscarriage represents a different level of disappointment/tragedy. I actually have a friend who has decided to completely stop trying for kids after having a miscarriage because the ordeal was too much for her to want to risk again. E: that doesn't make what those folks are doing OK however Rat Patrol has a new favorite as of 22:54 on Aug 12, 2015 |

That miscarriage story tangentially reminds me of something that did happen on TV the other day, it was one of those shows where the husband organises the wedding and the bride sees nothing till the day. For her Hen night he organised her and 20 friends to go to laser tag and told them there'd be a prize for the winning team. It turns out the only people going on the full night out with expenses paid would be the bride and winning team and the rest could go home or pay their way as the groom had spent all the money on a rave. All the losers started crying and the winners comforted them but you could tell they were really thinking "I better still be loving getting expenses paid".
