Get a load of *this* crazy psycho

It seems this woman is sueing Walgreens because they wrote stuff like "She's really a psycho!!! Do not say her name too loud, never mention her meds by names ..." on the tag on her medicne bag. Now, I mean, from what it sounds like in that story, she's got some major issues with her craziness and is just offended because it must be so very obvious to others that she is, in effect, totally nuts.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Some of my very best friends are stark raving mad. She should spend less time worrying about what others thing about her and work on getting better. I mean, if the employees needed to put notes for the rookie, or whatever, then it's obvious that she had caused them some grief before. They just seemed to know here so well.
And it's not mean or rude for them to write this, if she had given them reason for caution. I mean owners of large dogs are required to place "Beware of Dog" signs in their yards, Cigarettes need to have that Cancer and Birth Defect warning, why shouldn't one warn employees of potential hostile, combatative or just plain crazy customers?
Oh, I know..."Labels are bad" and all that but i mean how bad does it have to get for them to write a warning on the bag?
Truth is, most of my psycho buddes who are on a whole rainbow of pills are either proud of the fact or are deeply concerned with getting better. It's the ones that self medicate or don't medicate at all that really retain their individuality. Those are the scary ones, the fun ones. They take pride in their neuroses and wear them as badges of honor.
More Later on More interesting things....For now, I wish this lady well in her lawsuit but I think she needs to wake up and smell the Lithium because she's got issues and it's her problem. It isn't up to others to manage the way they see her it's up to her to manage how they see her. I mean, when one goes to pick up their meds...At least pretend to be normal.
