Trivial Things That Make You Surly

Fucking doctor’s offices. I had an appointment yesterday with my oncologist, I was diagnosed with Leukemia about 2 years ago. Blood tests are always necessary but we never get the results back in time to discuss them at that meeting. So, I went in a week early to have my blood drawn and get the tests back in enough time to have a meaningful conversation with my doctor. My appointment was at 2:30, but we have to arrive 15 minutes early. We got there at 2:10. 
At 4:15 they finally called my name and we went back to sit in the exam room. At 5:00 the doctor popped in and asked me a few quick questions. He was in there less than 5 minutes before he stepped back out. At 5:30 a nurse came in to tell me that the one test they need to discuss with me (the one we are keeping an eye on and the reason I go in every 3 months) was not performed when they drew my blood last week. 
She took me upstairs to the lab to draw my blood again. When we were finished she said they would “call me tomorrow because the doctor is gone now and it’s too late to set up my next appointment since it’s after 5:30.”
To say I was fucking livid is an understatement. I know you’re busy, we all are. I know mistakes get made and your staff isn’t doing this to me on purpose. But goddamn, this is my life. At least act like you care or are even remotely sorry for the inconvenience. 
Damn

My wife was high risk pregnancy with both of our kids sooo we had our more than fair share of hospital visits. Nothing like yours but the whole waiting game was such a pain. Especially in a room without windows. Then we had to schedule the next weeks ultrasound and stress test with the 73 year old receptionist trying to figure it out added another 10 -15.

One of the 'kid friendly' breweries opened near us. Turns out an acquaintance is an investor. He invited us to hospitality on his tab and wasn't happy when we told him date night does not include patronizing places with kids running wild everywhere while their parents are drinking.


But I can buy an extra 6 beers for what I would pay a sitter. I can also buy 4 more beers for the cost of an Uber. That’s an extra 10 beers and I get to spend extra time with the kids on the drive home. It’s a win-win, amirite?

That just doesn’t sound like a win.  I guess they are willing to stake the capital to see whether it is worth it or not.

I’d just as well hang out with neighbors and drink beer if we’re gonna have kids running around. When I choose to go to a bar, it tends to be for 1) beer selection and 2) no freaking kids.

 

Maybe it’s just a smooth angle on increasing MILF traffic.

IOW, you drive drunk with your kids in the car?

I hate people. Europeans think, and know that Americans are the absolute worst drivers in the known, and unknown universe.  

GET YOUR ASS OVER IN THE RIGHT LANE YOU GOTT DAMN DUMB ASS !!!  I need too have that in flashing neon on the bumper of my SUV.  That or a pair of bumper mounted .50 cals. with paint gun rounds....

It's gotten to the point that people drive less than the posted speed limit in the left hand lane for miles....

I guess I'm more referencing cars who drive and cut across the parking lot, not so much parking.  Drivers who speed across perpendicular to the lanes. 

Ahh gotcha, I'm guilty of that if it's a really open lot, but still not just NASCARing it across the lot. If the lanes have lots of cars, and lots of blind spots then I'm following the rules.

It looks we are back on the subject of not trivial.

People who go into parking garages with a gate card. You know you need the card to get in the garage. Don't wait until you get to the gate and then rummage around your purse or whatever the hell you are doing for a minute. Have that shit ready.

Had a buddy of a buddy drive me once, he's from Florida.  We're in the left lane, kinda tailgating some moron doing like 57 or so. I ask him, 'do folks not respect the left lane in Florida too?' to which he answered 'dunno, don't really pay attention to that.'  Took all the willpower I had not to call him a moron.

We've covered this before I believe but that one god damn mosquito that makes it into your house when you open the front door and then terrorizes your ankles the rest of the day. The worst is when they buzz you when you're in bed or attack your hand that's peeking out from under the covers. Why did God in his infinite wisdom create these massive pieces of shit that seem to serve no greater purpose? Just having a laugh?

Grown men who ask for lemon in their water.

I drink it straight, same with tea. Same with coffee.

However...

 

Why the fuck does it matter how another person gets their water?
