In the same vein of pill swallowing, I found that drinking water through a straw cancels out the gag reflex and allows even horse pills to go down smoother. I struggled for years until finding this out.

Yeah, did you know that if you ask a lady her DoB, she'll assume you're asking her age? Go on try it and see what happens ..!

LPT: It’s easier to swallow pillows when bending your neck forward than it is bending your neck backwards.

Do heed the warning of the other person that commented and avoid doing it when you don't need to, he does make a valid point.

Yeah I was looking for a sub better suited for tips that make things you shouldn't do easier, but it wasn't unethical or illegal. I generally just use this if I'm on a train without a drink and feel a headache coming on or some other situation where I don't have a drink and can't get one before a headache starts, as when the headache gets bad enough, pills don't help much.
But yes, you're right, it affects absorption and if you're not careful it can get stuck in your throat etc. Just figured there are people out there already dry swallowing, might as well give them a tip to make it easier and at least lessen the negative impact a bit.

You should always whenever possible drink water with medicine.

If they take you deep on one make sure you hit them with the next pitch. No time like the present to learn that actions have consequences.

This is true. People are self centered and want to keep it light and fluffy. A plea for empathy will only net you cursory sympathy. You're alone with your problems in life for the most part, it sucks but best to get used to it.

Having problems isn't a competition, and telling others they're insignificant compared to others is just pure assholery.

Then they say we can't transfer it's a different department.
Had that happen to me.
Infuriating!

You may be right, but I don't give a crap. Make it easier to get a human then.

Now, they plugged the maps into the global google url, so they can track your position directly in the same account even if you did not want to.
U know, dont be evil.
I mean the change from maps.google.com to google.com/maps
it seems trivial, but it's not.
