>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 21 04:31:23 2017 No.9135880 >>9135564 I think that supports OP. If someone is only reading fiction thinking it'll make them look smart are they actually enjoying it?

>tfw you can't eat/drink on a subway
>tfw I can't drink a fucking bottle of water and have to wear a full body kevlar suit because carrying normal clothes qualifies as flammable
