This Girl.

Who just set off the alarm in the Taipei bathroom because she mistook the "SOS" button for the flusher button?Yep, this girl.

(What other bathrooms in the world have SOS buttons anyway?! Or am I missing something Huge?)

Don't worry, some nice lady came rushing in to rescue me. From myself.

Who just scoured three different airport terminals for a hamburger, despite the fact it is 9:30 at night, and then irrationally walked away after the only restaurant she found said they don't serve fries with their burgers-even though it plainly says they do on their menu? Yep, this girl.

There are simply no words for the salad I ended up getting. #myproblemsaresofirstworld

Who gets laughed at consistently by immigration officers inspecting her passport? Yep, this girl.

I don't get it. Do you?
