What pissed you off today? Mark II

[bhndblueyes88]

To me, it really just isn't appropriate to "not think" to tell me that you EUTHANIZED ONE OF MY PATIENTS on my day off. Yes, it was not an in-hospital patient...but I didn't even know the patient deteriorated at home during that day. I didn't even know my LAB WORK was back. That's a lot to "not think" to tell me. This was a great dog, with a loving family, and I would have wanted to be there for them, no matter if it's my day off.

I'm really getting fed up with this co-worker and his inability to think outside his own lazy motivations.

Great, now I'm getting spam messages on my cell phone because some twat-bot posted it on the local Craig's list. Handed the phone to my hubby to answer after getting a random dick pic.

I told the dick pic I was underage and he was being reported to the cops for distributing porn (sad as it was) to a minor. He got real contrite and willing to tell me where it was posted after that.

She's 19, 5ft 10 and a US 6 with e cup boobs. Proof positive that when a person with a y chromasome tells you that looks aren't important, they're lying their arses off.

Totally agree, but it still made me laugh out loud

 

[LallyH]

Just been very badly let down by a supplier. I rang to discuss and got a less than helpful response from the young man at the end of the phone. Things started getting very heated and tempers were flaring until he reached the point of demanding my name so that he could report me to my superior for my poor attitude.

Perhaps if he'd taken enough interest in my account to realise that I am the boss, we wouldn't have reached the stage of having the bloody row in the first place

Why do people always assume that if you're the woman, you can't possibly be the one in charge? Surely there are enough of us around to have made a dent in that particular preconception?

I like to putter around a bit with my cars and one of the chores I enjoy is changing the oil. Doing mechanical tasks like this is therapeutic and very satisfying. Except, of course, when insurmountable obstacles take away the pleasure altogether. Yesterday I started to change the oil in my car only to find that the drain plug had been installed much too tightly by the garage that changed the oil last time. As a result, I rounded off the corners of the plug and couldn't remove it to save my soul.

So I bought a replacement plug and tried again this morning. No joy. With no hex shape remaining, I had to resort to using pliers, but I couldn't get my largest pliers on the plug because it's recessed into the oil pan and my smaller pliers just weren't up to the job. Would be easier if I had a full-height lift, of course, but as I'm working on my back, I just couldn't get the damned plug off. Now I'm stuck having to take the car to my mechanic to do the oil change, and no matter how many times I remind him to install the plug to Honda's recommended torque, his mechanics invariably over-tighten the plug and soon I'll be right back where I started.

Pissed off is not my favorite mood.

I learned to ask them to loosen the plugs and let me torque them myself. They don't like opening the hood all over again like that because the job should be done-- but that's not my problem. I do that when someone else puts tires on for me, too.

Good thinking. It's astonishing to me how many mechanics are ignorant of the reasons why it's important to torque oil drain plugs and tire nuts/bolts correctly. Damage to the oil pan could lead to the same traumatic consequences as a too-loose plug. And ruined brake discs are a bad thing, too. But then, I once discovered that the "mechanics" at a nationwide tire-store chain had to be trained in how to find the oil pan when the chain introduced oil changes as a service. Scary!

People and situations that make my forehead go like this:

I understand that people want to be with their loved ones at the end of their days, especially at this time of year.

I just wish they would understand I'm not trying to be mean when they come in with a "minor" head cold and I ask them to either wear a mask or come back when they are well.

The worse is when they say "It doesn't matter cause they are dying anyway." That may be, but there is no need to add to their pain and discomfort or possibly hasten their end by infecting them!

Well, not to mention all the people who could become ill from them sniffling coughing and sneezing in the hallways and on equipment. Nosocomial infections are not imaginary monsters we've made up to scare people!

 

[Vixandra]

If its not one things its a dozen freaking others. Like a water heater that won't stay on. *headdesk*

 

[MeekMe]

>.< Not angry.

Nervous, nervous, nervous!

>.> <.< >.>

Holiday dinner tonight with Mister's coworkers and bosses. I really hope my dress dries in time >_<

This is a bad feeling. Oh I hate feeling like this.

Edit: my dress didn't dry on time, and it was for the best. My second choice was a better fit for the atmosphere. I didn't embarrass Mister, either.

 

[Primalex]

NO FUCKING POKER LUCK


My AK vs. 89. He hits 8 on the flop, I hit the Ace on the turn..and he hits 9 on the river. WTF!

 

[Loverskitten]

On my way to pay taxes.... flat tire. Really? Really? Ugh

 

[BiBunny]

I partially dislocated the shoulder I tore all to pieces years ago today while trying to put a hoodie on. First time it's popped out like that in years.

 

[Curious_in_Cali]

Pompous spiritual elite persons posting FB "lessons" on how to evolve to reach mastery in compassion to be just like them.

Sorry chicky "I'm 20 more years awesome than you are hippie pants" but numbing and/or suppressing emotion is NOT the same thing as spiritual detachment. Experiencing emotion is NOT a weakness, it is completely human and NORMAL.

Sorry, but if you never swing the bat you are NOT playing baseball, so stop being so condescending to those ACTUALLY learning how to or actually playing the game!

Anyone who claims she can teach you to be just as magnificently moral and/or successful in any way as she is through a post on the FB is a charlatan and/or an idiot.

 

[CutieMouse]

I think I've finally maxed out my rejection-meter.

Can I pretty please crawl into bed, hide under the covers and stop being a grown up for a while, please?

 

[LallyH]

Sorry to hear that, CM


For me, having a very busy day ahead, and then being told by my assistant that he'd forgotten to tell me that he's booked an appointment for me in half an hour with a potentially large new client, who is expecting me to arrive with a host of prices and samples. Which I do not have. Marvellous. I love a challenge





Edit: I've won the account

 

[Primalex]

Headache

 

[SonNeedsMommy]

Nothing actually pissed me off today. I simply woke up angry and been in a bad mood ever single

Edit: I've won the account

YAY!!!!


(I'm tired, SO tired, of doing EVERYTHING!)

 

[smallgirl]

PEG install this morning. Hurts worse than the damn craniotomy last March.
