"You don't need those meds, they're just a crutch."
Cor blimey, that's annoying when people say that. There's two groups of people you'd never say that to. People like diabetics; you'd never say "stop with that insulin, it's just a crutch", because we know that some people need the meds to function. But the other group are people who have (for example) broken a leg and are using a crutch. You'd never go to them and say "See that crutch? You don't need it, it's just a crutch." Because people need crutches sometimes. Bah.
Also: What the hell is up with vibrating razors? I'm terrible at shaving. It's boring and I'm really bad at it, it looks like something from a Quentin Tarantino movie when I've finished shaving. I'm amazed I still have both ears. There's a big pool of blood on the floor and people rush in shouting "quick, check all his limbs" and I'm stood there, bic in hand, saying "er, no, don't worry, I've just had a shave." I can't imagine what damage I'd do with a vibrating razor. You may as well give me a hedge trimmer. I'd be there in the morning putting my tie on, tying it around the bloody stump of my neck, with my hacked-off head rolling around in the corner. "Closest shave ever" - lummy, they'll have like 6 blades soon; the first three to take the stubble off and the next three to take a layer of skin off.

What's really bad, though, is when someone with a mental health problem won't take medication because of their misconceptions about them (which, of course, they have acquired from the people who don't understand medication/mental health issues).
I use Barbasol on my legs. That's a shaving cream sold in the U.S., intended for men with large beards. Gives you an idea of what I'm up against.
Edited because I've never heard of a shaving cream being indented for anything.

I use disposable razors, and butcher my face twice weekly - my facial hair is far from prolific!
