HEY WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??

NO, THIS IS NOT THE PLAYGROUND.

AND NO, IT IS NOT COMPLETELY FICTIONAL.

NOW HERE IS WHAT I AM THINKING.

I can hardly believe my own eyes!! 

I am seeing regular adults who are gainfully employed

             and have a social life

                       and they are actually

                            making these ignorant little comments.       

IF I HAD NOT WITNESSED IT

I would not believe this recurring case scenario

is based on true-to-life situations and real people who are in their twenties, thirties and older.

And I asked, What is wrong with this picture??

Well, that is their private medical information being openly discussed in a public place!!

                         HOW INSANELY STUPID, I say!  Then they talk back and say, "You think everyone else is screwed up!"  

"Well they ARE screwed up."                 

Let me ask, who did they say it to?  
How many years ago did they say it??

I don't suppose they confided with a friend or a close family member who could not be trusted.
I don't suppose their mental health problems date back twenty years ago or more and
qualify as federally protected health information.

If you notice that they are not talking about it then don't announce it and 

don't start attacking them.
