You are definitely a foreigner. No true American would have even have gotten to their car before calling their attorney. One of the many things wrong with America is the large number of attorneys elected to public office.

For whatever reason I actually was looking at that list the other day. A huge portion are lawyers. Probably worth a rabbit hole some day

Seriously?! I'm sorry, I did have to laugh because you painted the picture so clearly. Off to the chopping block for that dentist for sure. And yes, as an ex smoker, I totally hear/sympathize/understand. Nasty habit but damn it was good!

I heard a quote about nicotine from a scientist that rings pretty true I think, something along the lines of it being "a great compound with a terrible delivery method" and I feel that pretty much sums up my relationship with it.

Totally agree. Although the lingering odour is vile.

Fortunately, I can't smell it as a side effect /s

Indeed. But when you can and do...ouf! It's not half as bad as the smell of pot though. Now it's legal, crikey. That smell is grosser!

Anywhere in the world where weird shit happens, I know you'll be there and you'll be reporting these happenings to our "normal" fellow primates. Is it possible your ex-dentist doesn't like smokers? cubby ex-pats? computer geeks? Perhaps she got a fishbone stuck in her teeth while enjoying a PB&T sandwich?

Black teeth can't be any good for your love life. I would be very cautious around anyone wanting to date a man with black teeth - Zombies and all that! It seems to me Dr. Mengele did some dentistry before switching to his studies of twins. Maybe you have encountered one of his disciples?

In America, the land of the mentally deficient politicians, we would associate black teeth with being a user of meth. Try explaining your condition to an overly aggressive police officer who will probably taser you, handcuff you, and help you into the police car after helping you up because you tripped and fell. Of course, his body cam won't be working, so good luck trying to prove you weren't resisting arrest. Since you are white, and a foreigner, you probably won't get shot - tourist dollars are always welcome, even if the tourists aren't.

Good luck explaining your predicament to the Canadian consul.

Haha I suppose that's why someone pointed out right away I could've asked for compensation etc etc. I was just so happy to have the color gone I didn't even think about that in the moment. Probably should've taken a dreaded selfie while I had the chance.
