Yep. Got snipped in my mid 20s. Been a peaceful 25 years. Do not regret it at all.

Shit, I’ve been really considering it myself and I was made to think it was weird or somehow inappropriate to get it done in my 30s. I don’t want kids. Period.

Who made you think it's weird? I did it at 38 and all I got from doctors was "how many kids do you have? None? I have 2 and your making the right choice". Seriously. Also, why would you care what anyone thinks? Also, no one will know. You don't have to tell anyone.

I got mine done when I was 32. Didn't get asked anything but "are you sure you don't want kids".

Protip: make sure the doctor doesn't start if you're not numb. It's really not fun without anesthesia.
