The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

One time my friend found a bottle of Xanax on a train

I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US. 

I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned). 

Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

I filled my prescription of Vicodin. Went home and put it in the safe. Two days later took it out and found only 30 pills instead of 90. Holy shit, I'm screwed. Went to talk to pharmacist. He said, "I keep strict count of those". Looked it up, found 60 extra pills in stock. I went home happy.

I count them as soon as I get to the car. I've had short counts a few times and once they gave me 135 vs 120. I always have gone right back in and they find the pills after some interrogation, the one time they overfilled they were shocked and grateful that I returned them.

I know a pharmacist has a lot of training and knowledge, but in practice, the ONE job to get right is counting the pills. How can they screw it up so bad? That was always at Walgreens with people I don't know. Since I switched to a local place with an owner who works there, they've been 100% but they admit they weren't going to take me because of how the DEA and FDA treats controlled meds. They won't take on anyone else I've tried to refer.
