1.) Marriage is traditionally between people of the same “race.” Out with miscegenation while we’re at it!
2.) Fertility tests for all couples applying for marriage licenses are now mandatory.
Tada!
Happy birthday. Here, have a kleenex and a tampon. … Don’t mix them up.
My ongoing peeve is people who leave messages with their name and phone number given justasfastasyoucanpossiblysayit. I’m sure you’ve said it a million times and it’s old hat TO YOU, but I can’t call you back if I can’t understand your phone number.
Ooh, I just thought of another addition to this - people who leave only their first name when they have multiple employees with that first name working at the company. “Hi, I’d like to speak to Ken, please.” “Which one? There are three Kens working here.” “Shit. Well, apparently I want to speak to the stupid one, please.”
Add to this people who repeatedly call and ask for a person only by their first name (when they know the surname), even though every time they call, they’re asked if it’s Firstname X or Firstname Y they’re looking for.
Hi there, nice lady at work! You’re a great person, and one of the easiest to work with outside of my own department. I’ve got just one teeny, tiny request: STOP LICKING YOUR FINGERS BEFORE YOU FLIP A PAGE OR A PIECE OF PAPER!!! That’s freakin’ nasty, especially when I have to take the papers in question back to my desk.
Nevermind. I did post it elsewhere. Ahahaha.
YES! The ones that really make me wig out are those who speak slowly and clearly when leaving most of the message, including enunciating their name carefully, then saythephonenumberasfastandmuffleblargle. Bonus points if the slow, well-enunciated bulk of the message is painfully long, so I have to sit through it eight times trying to hear the 1.2-second phone number at the end!
Oh, you got that right. My boss and I have the same first name. I’ve been here for almost 10 years and it still happens at least three times a day. I should add that there are only 6 people in my office.
Every time I take a chance and not quote the person I’m responding to, some person comes in and posts in between us while I’m composing my post. Would you guys mind stopping that? Kthxbai.
Damn ants! I thought we left the problem of having ants get into the house in the winter behind when we left California. Are we going to start having earthquakes here next?
I don’t know why it seems so cold in this HOUSE when i know my parent got new SIDING and WINDOWS 2 fucking years ago!
Because they didn’t replace other areas of insulation, and you don’t have the thermostat turned high enough?
Also, go put on a sweater.
My sweater has a dragon on it.
Either you mean (a) a picture of a dragon, in which case that’s awesome and you should be wearing it already or (b) a literal dragon, in which case it can breathe fire on you, and then you’ll really be warm.
And if its B - could you please post pictures? That would be so cool.
Pictures for either would be nice, actually. 'Cause right now, for Option A, I’m picturing a sweater I had when I was maybe seven, with a horse on it, where one arm was the horse’s neck, so the arm of the sweater had a mane. So, like that. But with a dragon.
Hey you medical professionals who take care of my mother-in-law, why do you guys have charts? Really, I want to know. You never read them prior to seeing a patient, even for a procedure. You freely confess to not having it nor having read it, so how do you know that what you’re about to prescribe/refer/perform on this patient isn’t going to cause harm?
Yes, I know you have <15 minutes to spend with a patient and that if you tried to read my 77-year old MIL’s chart it would take about an hour. So what’s the answer? If you read the chart, you haven’t the time to see the patient (several patients, actually). But if you don’t read the chart, how do you know that she has emphysema and that medication you’re about to prescribe for one of her many other complaints isn’t going to kill her? How do you know that she’s already had that very painful nerve conduction study 3 weeks ago and that this one was ordered by mistake and is not necessary?
Hint: you probably should NOT rely entirely on the patient’s daughter-in-law, who on a good day might know the difference between HIPAA and Hippocrates.
Was the horse’s name Trogdor? Did it burninate the countryside?
Why is my frigging head pounding? There is no chinook blowing in.
Not exactly… go here

I had a confirmed appointment with a new doctor this morning at 8.15.
Since it’s new and I have paperwork to hand in, I get there at 8am.
8.15 comes and goes…
At 8.30 I go up to reception and inquire as to how much longer it’ll be as I have to get to work. I’m told that my appointment was actually for 8.30 and they just told me 8.15 so I’d be there on time with my paperwork. This is irritating since I’m responsible enough to get there early, but understandable. They say it should be any minute now.
8.45, just as I’m getting up to approach reception again, she calls me over to say the doctor will be another half an hour, as he’s running late and not even in the office yet.
Now I have to give up my lunch hour at work for nothing. Nothing. This happens all the time. Pick a time late in the day, and you’ve got buildup from all the people late earlier and you wait.
Pick a time early in the day and the doctor’s late/missing/still asleep.
Mad that Avatar and The Last Samurai were basically the same movie re clothed.
