Employees at the local suicide hotline claim to "always be compassionate and understanding" when, in fact, they are only "compassionate and understanding" if you say you are planning to kill yourself. Last week, I had an especially bad case of diarrhea which left me in poor spirits so I called the people at the suicide hotline in hopes of finding a sympathetic ear. I found them to be very rude and they gave me the impression that they didn't care about my problem.
