Do you ever feel like every day since the election has been a suffocating miasma of bone-chillingly foreboding news? Does constantly receiving inescapable, moment-to-moment digital updates about the ineptitude to straight-up malevolence of Trump’s transition team leave you feeling queasy for days on end? This assessment of public places to barf will help you find the best spots for, at the very least, relieving your physical malaise while you try to figure out how to process your emotional malaise.
Your glove compartment

In your boss’ desk

- Not as accessible as other puking locations
- Temporarily elevated standard of puking might be discouraging for future pukes
In a downtown outdoor trash bin

In a trashbag-lined purse
Pros:
