After many viral responses later, responders have not hesitated to share things in our society that are downright strange, weird, or harmful. Here’s everything they said:

I have health insurance, but I need two additional insurance plans to keep my teeth (part of my skeleton!) and to be able to fully use my eyes https://t.co/TQLz5fCxTK

Women being forced to endure a condition that could kill them, even if they wanted the treatment that could prevent that death. Yes. I’m describing pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and abortion. https://t.co/KQd2rrgnQ9

Working 40+ hours a week on tasks we don’t personally invest in – not the idea of work time, because I think humans are hard workers by nature, but the idea that we dedicate so much of our time and energy to work that doesn’t mean nothing for us and are not paid properly in return. https://t.co/fSQkC2YvDQ

Be accessible to everyone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the past, you had to call the house phone or go to the backyard and someone was either inside or not. Now am I supposed to arrive and feel overwhelmed because I didn’t respond to everyone’s messages within 24 hours? https://t.co/llVHCLN6AC
