Things you're sick of.

Whatever you're sick of, talk about it here.

Personally, i'm sick of this pulled muscle in my neck, and of those stupid Volkswagen/Brooke Shields routan-boom commercials. One of those hormonal preggo moms just needs to punch her in the tit.

[Moist Happenings]

I'm sick of having a deadline when there's absolutely no rush to do anything rightthisminute. And the deadline is like a fricken' year away. The only purpose is serves is to piss me off. Maybe when it's getting down to the wire, make a deadline. But a year away? Come on. Fuck.

[Stunseed]

Politics.

The economy.

Jags. How the fuck do you lose to CLEVELAND?

Taxes.

[Kitsun]

Fucking tollbooths in Jersey/NY that slow down traffic and just pay people to sit in a little fucking room to collect money.

Traffic. Holiday traffic. Every fucking year around this time it becomes impossible to get around without sitting in ever-increasing amounts of traffic.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Insomnia.
Political ads.
Celebrities in politics.
Warriorbird saying how much we spend in Iraq every other post.
Having to pick between two candidates you don't really like all that much to begin with.
Too much work, not enough time.
Too many chiefs, not enough indians.
Making more money only to feel like I earn less.
Smoking.

[Moist Happenings]

Smoking.

Whoa. Whoa. Okay, stop right before that part. Otherwise you've gone TOO FAR my friend. Cigarettes are what keep me sane through all the other stuff, and alcohol is what makes me forget it altogether later on in the day. Without either of those two I just don't know how I could make it through an evening.

[Warriorbird]

"Warriorbird saying how much we spend in Iraq every other post."

That bothers you that much? Damn, man.

[TheEschaton]

Bothers him because it's true!

I'm tired of people who look me straight in the face and somehow try and tell me Sarah Palin is more experienced than all of the other 3 candidates.

I'm also sick of having to defend what seems to be such a clear cut choice. I could understand people waffling between, say, the 2000 McCain and Hillary...but this? C'mon.

I'm sick of the fact that I live in the most liberal city in Iowa and I've somehow made friends with all Republicans.

[Parkbandit]

The 2 year old political campaigns.

Horrible drivers somehow blaming me for their near death experience... and when I advise them their speed may be the issue, they yell out "FUCK THE SPEED LIMIT". When asked to pull over and discuss it, they flip me off and speed away.

Applying for a concealed weapons permit through a service that does this a million times a day.. only to get rejected because this service didn't fucking take the correct size picture for the fucking application.

Kids that think I should be their chauffeur all weekend long and have no thought about any inconvenience they are causing.

Record cold temperatures in Florida as I pass a beat up VW with a STOP GLOBAL WARMING bumpersticker.

Hippies

Lazy people bilking the government out of money instead of working.

Verizon FioS who puts all the wireless internets on PW secured connections.

People who claim they can't afford health insurance as they are talking on their cellphone from their brand new car.

Drama queens

People who don't use their directional signals.

I'm sick of studying bullshit I don't want to. Like ffs why on gods earth do I need to take Animal Science when I'm going into business? I'll tell you why! Because it was the only course offered in the time period that is a 621A.

You know what and maybe I'd be cool with it if we were studying the biology of animals but no sir. No. We are studying cows and their living styles, nutrition, soil, and lame bullshit.

I work for an answering service that handles over 300 clients who's accounts we interact with. Here is some of the day to day bullshit I HATE about my job.

1. Retards that blame ME for the instructions our clients give.. NO RX calls after hours MEANS NO RX calls.. fucking pill junkies.

2. Recorded message calls. I hear them at least 10 to 15 times a DAY (the same ones). God knows how many times a week.

3. It is NOT my fault you were stupid enough to get your car towed and now have to pay over 300$ to get it back. Don't bitch at me about it or I will tell the driver you are a dick and he will find a way to jack up the price a little more.

4. Yes the Dr's office is closed after 5pm. What Dr is open after 5pm.. come on. In line with that is, it's not MY problem that they didn't call you back, didn't call in your prescription or wouldn't answer the phone period.

5. People who want a vacation rental company's on call person called for, a light bulb that's out, not enough toilet paper in the house, can't figure out how to work the hot tub, coffee maker, TV, VCR, DVD player, or gain access to the internet.

6. And the number one thing I hate about my job, is anyone who thinks they can bully me into giving them what they want if it's against the instructions of our client. It's just NOT going to happen.

Things you're sick of. 10-29-2008 06:20 AM Yes, but the Army is full of people who couldn't cut it in the real world, and need it for the discipline. Some, like you, do well when they get out. Others, don't.

My post had absolutely nothing to do with making it in the real world and everything to do with pointing out that in the Army people from different backgrounds frequently and regularly made friendships and looked out for each other.

In fact, the ability to be friends with different people was probably one of the greatest things *I* took away from the military.

For serious. People do that all the time down here. I absolutely hate getting behind someone doing 40 on the on-ramp. How the fuck are you supposed to merge into lots of traffic going around 70mph when you're doing 40, you fucking old piece of shit douchebag?

[Tsa`ah]

Moronic drivers and traffic rank up there. Moronic drivers in traffic are probably at the top.

Chicago has just enough of both to make you contemplate buying a beat up pick-up with the rivited wooden bumpers for a case of minor road rage.

The Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Stevenson are mostly three lanes. The Dan Ryan and Tri-state vary from 3-5 lanes ... thus taking just one asshole in the far left lane to completely fuck up the flow of traffic (Should be noted that most of these interstates have a 45-55 mph limit).

Now it takes the jackass doing 50 in the far left and the jackass that thinks driving 95 mph is going to make him/her not late to completely fuck a few thousand people over for hours.

Three lanes going at a steady speed (even though everyone is doing 50 or less) is a hell of a lot better than one lane, with two other lanes trying to merge, doing less than 5 mph due to the fact that the jackass driving 95 is trying to weave in and out of the lanes only to realize his exit is on the far right and he's in the far left and causes a 5 car pile up.

Dumbasses without an I-pass that still haven't figured out that he pay booths split off to the right and there's a series of signs a few miles before the toll .... and cut right over 2-3 lanes at the last minute to get to the booths ... every single fucking time.

Clusterfucks that get on the expressway and immediately cut across 3-5 lanes to get into the far left ... only to drive 55mph.

Here's a clue fucknuts ... look in your rear view fucking mirror. If there is no longer a distance of 3 cars that existed 2 seconds ago ... your going to fucking slow .... merge right and repeat until you're in the correct fucking lane. Second clue .... if you're in the far left lane and it seems every car is going too slow, it's probably because you're driving too fucking fast. Yank the wheel hard to the left and kiss the concrete divider.

Old people on the expressways. Lost out of state drivers on the expressways (IN, WI, IA, and WI don't normally count). Take a bus, a plane, a cab ... or just don't plan your fucking trip to take you through Chicago.

Chicago has just enough of both to make you contemplate buying a beat up pick-up with the rivited wooden bumpers for a case of minor road rage.

The Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Stevenson are mostly three lanes. The Dan Ryan and Tri-state vary from 3-5 lanes ... thus taking just one asshole in the far left lane to completely fuck up the flow of traffic (Should be noted that most of these interstates have a 45-55 mph limit).

Now it takes the jackass doing 50 in the far left and the jackass that thinks driving 95 mph is going to make him/her not late to completely fuck a few thousand people over for hours.

Three lanes going at a steady speed (even though everyone is doing 50 or less) is a hell of a lot better than one lane, with two other lanes trying to merge, doing less than 5 mph due to the fact that the jackass driving 95 is trying to weave in and out of the lanes only to realize his exit is on the far right and he's in the far left and causes a 5 car pile up.

Dumbasses without an I-pass that still haven't figured out that he pay booths split off to the right and there's a series of signs a few miles before the toll .... and cut right over 2-3 lanes at the last minute to get to the booths ... every single fucking time.

Clusterfucks that get on the expressway and immediately cut across 3-5 lanes to get into the far left ... only to drive 55mph.

Here's a clue fucknuts ... look in your rear view fucking mirror. If there is no longer a distance of 3 cars that existed 2 seconds ago ... your going to fucking slow .... merge right and repeat until you're in the correct fucking lane. Second clue .... if you're in the far left lane and it seems every car is going too slow, it's probably because you're driving too fucking fast. Yank the wheel hard to the left and kiss the concrete divider.

Old people on the expressways. Lost out of state drivers on the expressways (IN, WI, IA, and WI don't normally count). Take a bus, a plane, a cab ... or just don't plan your fucking trip to take you through Chicago.

Woooosahhh

Not only do they hold up 2 lanes of traffic just to get over to the cash side at the last minute; they're paying double the fare to boot and I see the same people doing this stupid shit every single day. I call it the dummy tax.

I don't live up there and I don't have an I-Pass but even I know you get the hell over to pay with coins, it's not that freakin tough. I get to drive up to Chigago a few times a year so the wife can visit with her friends.

[ElanthianSiren]

In keeping with my driving theme: idiots who ride the brake compulsively. First it's bad for the brakes. Idiots who drive extremely large vehicles and do this get two red stars because I can't see around them to judge when there actually IS a hazard.

-People who drive with one hand and gab for 20 miles on their cell phone. Really, is it that important that the rest of the world needs to lose out on simple driving "suggestions" like TURN SIGNALS? Not to mention, these people often drive too fucking slow.

Yeah because burning asshole for hours at work is a fun walk in the park compared to simply taking another 30 seconds to wipe your ass properly. Fucking Brilliant.

I think the extra two flush wiping thing sucks, too, but honestly...not wiping is the answer?

I hate flushing early because the toilet is too full... what happens is, I know I still have to go, but then I flush, and instead of feeling the nice warm breeze from my previous shit in the toilet I feel the cool new water hitting my butthole causing me to clench and finish up.

I'm sick of doing the bathroom dance with one of my cats. She thinks it's absolutely awesome every time I get up out of my computer chair, and she proceeds to run a couple steps ahead of me every time. She'll go a few steps and then turn back around and look up at me, then go a few more, turn back around, etc. This goes on until I get to the bathroom door, and then she'll just stand there blocking it looking up at me with her gigantic eyes. If I push her with my foot, she'll run in and sit on the toilet and stare at me again. If I try to walk over her, she'll run around like a nut and almost trip me, so I don't do that anymore. Now I usually just pick her ass up off the toilet and put her on the counter or in the sink. And sometimes it's cute, but when I REALLY HAVE TO FUCKING PEE I don't want to take time to mess with her.

[Alfster]

One of my cat's will sit in the bathroom and whine until I turn the sink on so she can drink.

The other one's just hell. If I leave the bathroom door open to take a shower, he hops right in. He'll then run to his litter box, do his thing, then run around the apartment scattering litter everywhere.

This is the same cat that if I leave the bathroom door open while I'm peeing, he'll usually come running and jump in the toilet. Fucking cat.

[diethx]

Ha, that's awesome, except for the litter part.

My girls won't jump in the shower with me, but the one that I was talking about will jump on the edge of the shower and play with the curtain cuz the water hits it. She still acts like a kitten and probably won't ever outgrow it, heh.

Oh and yeah, the one I was talking about got peed on sorta, once. I just finished peeing, got off the pot and while I was pulling up my pants, she ran for the toilet and jumped up, slipped in. I chased her down and washed her off and she DID NOT like it. She hasn't tried to jump on the toilet when the lid was up again.

[Alfster]

ROFL...Mine's been pee'd on a couple of times.

He loves the bath he gets afterwards.

[Moist Happenings]

I'm sick of the doctors at the ER treating patients like they're flipping burgers at a fast food chain.

Nurse gives doctor general idea of symptoms -> Doctor says "oh it's probably this. Here take these antibiotics -> Patient throws up -> "Oh, okay it wasn't that then. Here let's get you an actual diagnosis. Holy shit you're about to die. Why didn't you tell us you were about to die? Room 304. Would you like fries with that? NEXT ORDER."

True story.

Edit to add:

To elaborate on my feelings before someone that works in an ER flips out on me, I do understand that all the people that work in the ER work long shifts for meager pay (relatively), and deal with shitty people on a regular basis. It's really compounded by the fact that many times ER's are overwhelmed, a lot of times because of things like you mentioned, people being sent there that really shouldn't be. It takes away from the cases where there's an actual emergency, and can cause lives as a result.

[FNLN]

Did they get fries?

[Moist Happenings]

Did they get fries?

Actually yeah. I was brought there via ambulance at around 4:30. Sat in a wheelchair in the waiting room til 5:30, got checked in. I see a nurse. Wait half an hour for the doctor. In the 2 minute conversation I have with the doctor, he finds out I'm having stomach pains and have heartburn, so he decides it's acid reflux, sends me for a chest x-ray for some reason (read: to pad the bill), puts me in a room, has the nurse put me on antibiotics. I throw up without warning. Luckily there was a plastic bin near where I was, because I wasn't able to flag a doctor or nurse down for another half hour. So I'm sitting there with a bucket full of puke in my lap and an I.V. still dripping antibiotics when the new doctor comes on for her shift. She comes in and starts asking me questions about what had happened beyond me having heartburn, and why, which I had of course told the previous nurse as well, but I guess it never got conveyed to the doctor who had been too busy to hear me talk about it when he came over to me the one time.

She finally deduced that I had heartburn because my stomach was filled with acid because I hadn't eaten enough and had hiked 24 miles that day. The reason I finally had the ambulance called was because I wasn't tired, but couldn't walk more than 15 feet without having to sit because of shortness of breath. This is because when you get something called starvation ketosis you start higher levels of CO2 and you suffocate yourself to death like sitting in a closed garage with your car on. She took me off the antibiotics, gave me something that was actually helpful. They kept me for 3 days and force fed me the whole damn time.

My particular situation would have been much, much better I think if there weren't so many people in there that didn't need to be. Of the 50 or so people I saw in the ER before I got transferred to a room, I would think that only 10 or so of them really actually needed to be there. I'm not a doctor, but I remember vaguely through the haze of the drugs a lady that was there because she was overly depressed, a man that was there because his doctor wouldn't give him any more percocet, a woman who brought her child there because he got stung by a bee (and was not allergic). The list could go on if I thought about it pretty hard.

So I guess I'm not only sick of certain doctors/nurses/et cetera in the ER, but I'm also sick of people that just don't need to be there, too.

But for the end of this long winded answer to your simple question: Yes, I got my fries.

I don't know why you would think the woman who was there for depression wasn't "major".

If someone thinks they may kill themselves or seriously harm themselves, the ER or a crisis center is exactly where they need to be, not holed up at home praying to God that they can ride it out. Just because she wasn't barfing, bleeding or screaming didn't mean she wasn't in serious peril.

Don't get me wrong. If she was seriously depressed she had every right to be at the hospital, but she was cognizant enough to realize that she might be suicidal, so she wasn't in absolute dire peril at that very moment. Why couldn't she have gone around to the front entrance, said "I'm really depressed. I think I might kill myself. Can I be checked into the psychiatric ward please?"? It's not as though she was carrying a gun in her purse just in case she had to wait an extra half an hour. In my opinion, unless you're depressed and just slit your wrists but then thought better of it, why go to the ER? You're going to wait the same amount of time as you would at the front, and in the ER you're potentially taking precious minutes away from the guy who maybe just cut his hand off with a chainsaw by accident.

Edit to add: However, if this woman was maybe carrying a gun around with her or a razor blade or something, yeah, she absolutely should have gone to the ER, because her life is in jeopardy at that moment. The particular woman in question wasn't. She was one of the ones getting checked in while I was in the waiting room. Her doctor had recently taken her off her antidepressants, and she was feeling really depressed, and came to the hospital because she didn't trust herself fully not to do something stupid. A smart move? Maybe. If she did it out of genuine concern for herself, it was a smart move. If she did it so the hospital would possibly prescribe her more drugs, not so much. That's a judgment call for the doctor to make, not for me, but this woman was in no serious immediate peril.

Your logic is faulty.

You don't have to be incoherent to be in grave danger of suicide or some serious self-harming. Plenty of mentally ill people are extremely self-aware of their moods, in fact I'd say quite a few are perhaps more in touch with them because their life depends on knowing their limits and triggers, etc. Again, just because she got herself to the hospital or wasn't lunging for a scalpel to start carving herself up doesn't mean anything.

Also, to get processed into a psych unit that's in a hospital, almost always you need to go through a crisis evaluation to determine if/where they need to send you (locked ward, unlocked, partial hospitalization) which means you wait in the ER and are processed there.

Sorry but I think it's stupid to determine based off of looking at someone that they're being selfish and don't deserve to be there. The ER is there for people going through an emergency-- a mental health emergency is just as valid as the guy who hacked his hand off with a chainsaw.

Edit: Just saw your edit.

I think you're definitely being an asshole about it. She said she couldn't trust herself not to do anything-- that's code for "I may kill myself". So in your opinion she "maybe" did the right thing by coming in? Come the fuck on-- she DID do the right thing, if someone is thinking those kind of thoughts the ER should be the first place they go to and the ONLY place. And as for the assumption that she was doing it to get more pills, that's absolutely retarded. Anti-depressants are extremely dangerous if not properly prescribed, they don't just turn everything into one big happy ride, they're there to help even out people's moods and that's it. You don't think someone being a suicide risk is in serious peril, I couldn't disagree more.

I wish I could give that lady a hug and tell her she did the right thing. Instead she had asshole fellow patients looking down their nose at her and judging her. Nice.

Well, you may be right, and using that woman as an example might have been a bad one after reading your logical interpretation of it. On the whole though I don't think you'd disagree that there are a lot of bullshit cases though that maybe only seem like an emergency to the parent who's deathly afraid her child just got stung by a killer bee. If that parent was aware that killer bees kill in swarms, and not as a result of one super venomous stinging monster bee, instead of watching the news and just hearing "KILLER BEES BAD. THEY KILL PEOPLE. GET IT? KILLER BEES.", then perhaps she'd have shown a little more reason when making her decision on which entrance to pick.

Actually, I'd like to get the take of somebody that actually works in a hospital or an ER. Any posters out there that could comment on it?

Edit to add: And that last bit is not to say I don't value your opinion Narcissiia, I'm just curious to see what someone who works in a hospital thinks as well.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

I used to work in reception at a hospital.

I agree that people come in for some ridiculous things-- i.e. one woman brought in her child who had a little sliver and couldn't get it out because the child wouldn't sit still.

I do know that the doctors work according to what's most important based on the symptoms. If someone comes in bleeding to death, they're obviously not going to be pushed aside until the kid has the little sliver removed.

However, nothing pisses me off more than when people discount mental illness as being a serious and extremely dangerous affliction. It is serious, just because there's not blood and screaming and the person is self-aware doesn't mean they're not in a lot of danger, period.

That's fair enough. I agree that situationally mental illness is as dangerous or in some cases more dangerous than actual physical wounds. I didn't mean to imply that that wasn't really the case. Well, I guess I did a little in that second post, but what you said makes sense to me. I just didn't think that lady was really in any huge amount of immediate danger. Again though, I'm not a doctor, so maybe she was.

Edit to add: Also I'd positive rep you for that but I already did too recently.

Edit to add: And that last bit is not to say I don't value your opinion Narcissiia, I'm just curious to see what someone who works in a hospital thinks as well.

The few times I was floated to E.R. yes there are some bullshit cases. The ones irking me most were the pillheads but each case had to be taken as though it is serious.

i.e. I cannot say that patient A who says their pain on a scale of 1-10 is a 10 isn't(even though they are laughing & joking with their friends). I have to treat them as though they are having the worst pain of their life.

The policy where I've worked is that no one can judge the severity of pain someone else is feeling as we all have a different tolerance level.

As for the mental health issue, ffs people have the HARDEST time getting admitted & getting any help. If the person in question can muster the nerve to go say 'I need help please' don't ever look at them as if they're sub human or attention seeking, they're actually being very brave.

The easy way out would have been to blow their head off at home & hurt everyone around them in the process.

Medicaid cuts have upped the amount of non-emergency e.r. visits. If you have a child with an ear infection & the medicaid dr's offices cannot get the child in for 3 weeks, yes you wind up at the e.r. eventually. People who wind up with abscessed teeth because of no dental care available through medicaid also wind up in the e.r. further clogging the system.

[Proxy]

About the whole ER thing, I 100% agree w/ </3 people that shouldn't be there getting admitted. I've been to the ER more times then I care to recall, broken bones, torn ligaments, multiple dislocations, burns, cuts, assorted other gaping wounds & internal injuries.

Twice now I had to wait 15+ min before I was actually seen to a room and eventually checked out by a doctor. the first was w/ 2nd & 3rd degree burns on 3/4 of my left forearm and hand. The second was when my right middle finger was nearly completely severed from my hand (ie was only being held together by about 4cm of tissue) the finger issue had me sitting in the waiting area so long the white towel my hand was wrapped in had soaked up enough blood to turn near-completely red and was actually dripping blood on the floor. When they finally got around to me I had to be carried from the waiting room.

I F'N H8T STUPID PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE ER FOR STUPID THINGS!!!

[CrystalTears]

15 minutes? You're doing great.

[Proxy]

the only reason I got any attention when I nearly lost my finger was because I passed out in my chair and fell face first onto the coffee table + some hypochondriac started screaming hear head off when she saw me plant my face. Other wise I probably would of died from blood lose by the time they got around to checking on the guy bleeding to death w/ a puddle of blood around his feet.

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

When I went in to the ER because I was hemorrhaging they got to me immediately.

Granted I was screaming bloody murder and there was blood everywhere, but I certainly didn't have to wait for them to drug me up and prep me for surgery-- they did so almost immediately.

where were my jewish instincts then I wonder?! I should of filed suit against that F'n hospital damnit!!! even though they reattached my finger, gave me 3 units of whole blood and didn't charge me a cent afterwards.

[Moist Happenings]

I'm not sore that it took them so long to get to me when I went to the ER. At the time, I really didn't think it was anything dire. All I knew was that I went to try to eat at the first place I came across, and passed out. They called the ambulance, and I was conscious by the time it got there. Was only out for a few seconds really. Figured it might be heat stroke since it was a sunny day. I'd been hydrating as normal, about a gallon from my canteen between each town, but I figured since I wasn't going to be able to walk 25 miles back to my car/apartment in that condition, and didn't want to call a taxi, I'd let them take me to the hospital to get checked out and be on the safe side.

Outwardly I looked alright, so I really don't blame them for letting me sit. When they asked me how bad my pain was I told them it was 6 initially. As I lay there though it got worse and worse, and when the doctor on the new shift finally came in she asked again, and I told her 10.

What I take issue with was the first doctor. I had spent about 10 minutes explaining my symptoms and what I had done to the nurse about 30 minutes prior. The doctor comes over and tells me that I have acid reflux, or acid something or other. I tried to tell him that I had never really had heartburn of any kind before, and that I had been hiking a long distance, because those are things the nurse wanted to know, but he didn't seem interested. About 45 seconds into our conversation he walked off to answer the phone, came back about 10 minutes later and told somebody to put me in a room and pump me full of antibiotics. I understand it gets busy in there, largely due to some of the aforementioned people that just probably should have gone elsewhere but from either an unwillingness or an inability to do so couldn't, but on the other hand..

By the time the other doctor got to me and finally decided to listen and diagnose the issue, I could have been dead. Very nearly had died. Honestly I think the only thing that kept me from falling asleep and suffocating was the fact that the other doctor was pumping me full of antibiotics that made me throw up.

It was a small hospital, and I guess it was sort of in between shifts when I first got checked in there, and they were way, way overwhelmed. All the ER rooms were taken, and they had wheeled beds in from elsewhere to support people in there. And like I said, a lot of the people in there probably could have gone elsewhere.

I understand doctors get busy and all, and I understand that outwardly I wasn't all that symptomatic to start out with, but I've taken this one trip to the ER in 25 years of life, and nearly died because I just wasn't helped fast enough. In conclusion, if that second doctor hadn't shown up for her shift to relieve the first, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind I would have died in that ER. Thank god for small miracles.

Just go in, say you're having chest pain. Fast trip to being seen.

And the person saying it took 15 minutes? That's the fucking express lane for most e.r.'s unless you came in via ambulance & were missing entire appendages.

[ElanthianSiren]

Burning things. I need a live in cook.

[Paradii]

About the whole ER thing, I 100% agree w/ </3 people that shouldn't be there getting admitted. I've been to the ER more times then I care to recall, broken bones, torn ligaments, multiple dislocations, burns, cuts, assorted other gaping wounds & internal injuries.

Twice now I had to wait 15+ min before I was actually seen to a room and eventually checked out by a doctor. the first was w/ 2nd & 3rd degree burns on 3/4 of my left forearm and hand. The second was when my right middle finger was nearly completely severed from my hand (ie was only being held together by about 4cm of tissue) the finger issue had me sitting in the waiting area so long the white towel my hand was wrapped in had soaked up enough blood to turn near-completely red and was actually dripping blood on the floor. When they finally got around to me I had to be carried from the waiting room.

I F'N H8T STUPID PEOPLE THAT GO TO THE ER FOR STUPID THINGS!!!

4 cm as in over an inch? You must have fat fingers

15 minutes in the ER is nothing. I spent half the day in the ER once, until I vomited on their floor and passed the fuck out, then they decided to treat me for not only the flu but on top of it I had a throat infection and tonsillitis and being severely dehydrated.

I wish it had been 15 minutes but if you aren't a child or bleeding..or having a heart attack you might as well wait all day for treatment.

[Proxy]

damn metric system, 4mm not cm.

as for the, unless your bleeding part, the chick at the desk made me unwrap the towel to show her my finger. I then squirted blood on the glass partition between the two of us, and she said to go have a seat.

That's really not true. I think i've mentioned it here before but the last time I was in the ER (I was there for an enlarged kidney due to who knows what, just didn't know it at the time), they rushed me into a room immediately and started taking care of me. My friend drove me in too, not an ambulance or anything. I wasn't a kid and I wasn't bleeding, I just had really horrible pains in my side. I wasn't screaming or anything but I was crying (not hysterically).

That's what you get for not using the teleporter.

Like, they take up too much space on the teleporter pad; and when Scotty beams them up, they don't transfer over an arm or a leg and end up suing William Shatner and getting the awesomeness that is teleporters banned in the first place.

Goddamn endomorphs.

The medicaid (i.e. free) system in Michigan was the 'preferred' health care that doctors would push on people with kids because it paid for shit compared to the piddly amount bc/bs would 'cover'(getting what you paid for there cause bc/bs is cheap amirite?).

It's not about 'you get what you pay for' & that's not what I was referring to in the first place. The military has the most fucked up system that they claim is the most 'efficient' way to work things, ignoring the fact many of the ways it is ran violate their own FEDERAL hippaa laws.

Choosy fucking beggars. J and I were coming out of Red Lobster after dinner tonight and this raggedy old woman and three kids came walking up to us. She said that they lost all their stuff in a fire along with their young brother and they were really hungry and needed some food. I never give anyone cash since it probably won't go towards food, but there was a Kroger in the same shopping center right across the parking lot, and I was feeling generous and kinda bad for them so I said i'd head over there and get them some food (like some bread and peanut butter and shit). The woman then proceeded to tell me nah they needed some cooked food and there was a wings place right across the parking lot. I look at J kinda amazed and I was like, no, I don't think we'll be buying any wings tonight. Got in our car and left.

We do shoot towards the area in question while target practicing. :) However, it is unlikely that the .22 Ruger pistol that I use would do much damage

I think someone around here is just hungry. I didn't expect the "hunting season" to begin quite so soon.

Also, I should be hitting the gym more, then I could run a mile without hurling and seeing spots.
