I'm a married woman. I don't embarrass easily, but I've discovered recently that there's nothing more mortifying than not having to do a pregnancy test before a hospital procedure because you haven't had sex in ages.
@fesshole at... at least they believe you and don't treat you like an idiot and keep going 'but are you SURE?!'/make you do one anyway?
@alicemcalicepants @fesshole People lie about much more mundane things, and when the consequences are potentially severe, it's better to be extra careful. I wouldn't take it personally. It's like when bar staff demand ID from everybody, even if they are obviously at least 60.

Where does the latter happen? Never heard about that one (I believe you! It's just not a thing where I live).

@Mab_813 @alicemcalicepants @fesshole I've seen it occasionally, mostly in America.
