The immediate reaction of the suicidal to any inconvenience, however minor, is “I wouldn’t have to deal with this if I killed myself.”

In a way, this is a helpful coping mechanism. Having this option in the back of one’s head at all times, knowing there’s a way out if things get too difficult, makes day-to-day tasks easier to handle. However, “intentionally drove car off of bridge after spilling coffee” is a pretty embarrassing obituary and a stupid reason to end one’s own life.

Didn’t have to deal with cleaning it up, though.
