She was threatening to jump, as she neglected to vote in the last local election...

Whatever happened to stoic forms of suicide, like filling one's pockets with rocks and walking into a dull indie film sunset?

she shoulda jumped. if you're going to inconvenience people by threatening to jump, you should at least have the common decency to go through with it. yes, i'm an asshole.

Why jump from the Hubbard St overpass when our city is filled with lovely skyscrapers and drawbridges that would make for a much more scenic demise? Interrupting other peoples' travel plans is just plain rude!

I really hate when someone's suicide plans conflict with my travel plans! I once remember when a woman killed herself by jumping in front of a northbound red line train at grand and stopped northbound traffic for hours! everyone had to get on shuttle buses or the brown line at like 11PM! took me 3 hours to get home versus my normal 30 mins!

did anyone else think of the scene from Lethal Weapon when Melly Mel was aking the guy "Do you wanna jump? Do you really want to jump? Do ya?" also, i like that the "jump bag" would "potentially break the woman's fall" ... or not.
