That’s the human body to blame, not a side effect of the eyedrops exactly. The drops can drain through little “passages” in your head, into the mouth. So you’re quite literally tasting the eyedrops, not getting a weird nasty-taste side effect or anything. (I’m not sure which might be more comforting to you, but there it is.)
I’m sick and tired of visitors to our hospital who do not know how to dress/behave. Some of you would get tossed out of fast-food restaurants based on your scanty attire and lewd slogans appearing thereon.
Just today I was walking through the lobby, and passed a woman talking loudly on her cellphone. “Well, that’s BULLSHIT. You tell her that’s BULLSHIT!!!”
I was so disgusted I stopped and said “Hey, lady! Watch your language! This is a FUCKING HOSPITAL!!!”
I thought about doing it. The temptation was strong.
Speakin’ clean don’t cost you no more bloody effort’n speakin’ shite!
Or in Spanish, “¡hablar bien no cuesta una puta mierda, leche ya!”
Got laid off. Idiots decided that long-term goals don’t matter, just short-term revenue. Of course, they are hiring in other areas - but mine no longer exists as of now.
On the plus side, I can tell all the telemarketers who call when I am home during the day to stop calling since I got laid off!

Optivar, actually. The springtime daily cocktail is Zyrtec, Optivar, Rhinocort and Claritin. Benadryl and Mucinex D are taken as needed, which means just about every night for a period of a couple weeks, and I also sparingly use an OTC sinus spray. Also, saline nasal spray and eyedrops all the time.
Oh. Well, that…makes more sense, if you accept that your eyeballs having a secret tunnel to your mouth makes sense. Which it doesn’t, because the human body is fucking stupid.
A patient came into the dr’s office I work in today and had the wrong day- he didn’t have an appointment today. He started yelling at us that we’re idiots and that he was fucked!! I told him that if continued to be abusive and curse at us, I’d have to ask him to leave. What is wrong with people, that they think it’s okay to act like that in a public place? I remember when I was a little kid my dad threatening to rough another man up for swearing in front of my mother and I… whatever happened to public beatings, anyway?
And to the driver of the motherfucking SCOOTER going uphill in the fast lane at 30 mph in a 45 this morning in rush hour traffic, where there are goddamn signs saying “Slower traffic keep right”, I hate you. I hate your little blue helmet, your ugly clueless face in your mirror, and your stupid goddamn sonofabitching scooter. I let you live this morning, fuckwad, but the next one you do that to may not. Fucking cunt!
I would dearly love to call such people hood ornaments.
My work truck, sans ~ 1 ton of tools and parts.
Have you tried Singulair? Works miracles for me and I am allergic to everything!
back to regularly scheduled rants…
I always thought the best time to rake leaves was on a windy day. 
You rake with a broad uplifting stroke, and let the wind take them into the neighbors yard!
I don’t suppose this would work with pine needles though, would it?
I pit people who make me thread chase with no explanation. So, GuanoLad, I thank you for your post instead of one that says something like:
$1100? For “Room and Board”? For a room that I was physically in for a total of 20 minutes?
How do you sleep at night, you fucking thieves?
I had outpatient surgery - my doctor said that I didn’t have to spend the night in the hospital. The post-care nurse said I didn’t have to spend the night in the hospital. Evreyone I saw said that I was fine and didn’t have to spend the night in the hospital. There were two people with me (both competent adults) who promised they would drive me home and watch over me for the next 24 hours. But, no, you insisted on taking me to the hospital room. Where I sat on the edge of the bed and changed into my street clothes. I didn’t sleep, I didn’t eat, I never called a nurse or an orderly to do anything for me. I sat on the bed and waited for someone to confirm that (a) I wouldn’t be charged if I got out of there before midnight and (b) they would be willing to check me out.
They did. I signed the paperwork. And I got my butt out of the hospital at 11:40 so I wouldn’t be looking at these charges on top of all the others.
And you’re charging me ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for that? Are you kidding me? So what that my insurance is covering most of it. You are the reasons that premiums skyrocketed. Crap like this is the reason that health care costs are out of control in this country.
I’m going to open up a hospital.
Enright,
The rules restrict the use of the quote tag to actual quotes:
It’s not a big deal here because the rest of your post makes it pretty clear that you were suggesting a revision of the original quote. In the future, though, please don’t use quote tags to do this.

I went to the doctor today because of an asthma flare up. She prescribed steroids and sent the prescription through to the nearest pharmacy. I went to pick up the steroids after work and the pharmacy had absolutely no record that she’d sent the prescription through. The practice was already closed. I am not in immediate danger of anything other than the continued discomfort of not breathin’ right, but that takes a toll on energy and for me, triggers a bunch of emotional weirdness.
The rant: I can’t get either upset or furious about this, because both of those will just make my breathing worse, so I am forced to school myself to a calm and reasoned acceptance of the genuine pretty-okayness of the situation, when I really want to get up a good head of steam and blow my top over it.
Tell your insurance company that you didn’t have an inpatient stay and let them fight it out with the hospital.
Hmm, OK. Thanks for the heads up. I was aware of the rule, and I would never deliberately misquote someone with the intent of misleading others. Like you stated, I wasn’t trying to misrepresent what was originally posted, and as I had both quotes together in one post was even more evidence of that. Under the guise of “rules are to guide, not constrain,” I thought it would be OK in this instance. It won’t happen again.
A recruiter called me yesterday. OK, that’s good, I’m happy that I’m still in demand. However, I explained that I wasn’t interested in discussing jobs until after my actuarial exam in May.
“OK, I’ll reach out to you after that.”
No, you won’t. Not unless I’m in a homeless shelter, or a crack house, or a hospice for the terminally ill. Those are the only circumstances in which I want someone “reaching out” to me, ever. Go away.
It’s Thursday morning on the train, not Sunday morning in church, preacher man. No one wants to hear you blathering on about the Bible, xtianity, etc. More power to the irate rider who finally got exasperated enough to get up and move to another car, but not before saying something rudely to your face (there’s a reason I wear my headphones when commuting, and you’re it). I’m just sorry I missed what he said. Captive audiences are hostile audiences. You would do well to remember that.
Fuck you, cold weather. You snuck in and fucked up my hiking plans in a matter of minutes. I hope when the sun gets back, it grabs you by the testicles and analy rapes you while humming Sunny Days are Here Again.
Hey, lady who washed her hands in the library yesterday - don’t shake the dropplets off your hands in an enclosed area with someone else around. Oh, and if you feel you have to, try not to hit me with the drops in the fucking eye! Inconsiderate bitch - fall in an uncovered manhole and get eaten by a rabid gator.
Dear older sister: Your table manners are horrific. I’ve seen three year olds eat with more consideration for the people around them. Everytime we go out, I feel embarrassed for you. And, surprise, your son’s table manners suck as well. Grow up, for fucks sake! And don’t give me that sarcastic, “You really think everyone is looking at me?” I’M LOOKING AT YOU! I don’t matter?
