Stupid Pet Peeves

I don't know if this is a pet peeve as I've never seen this before. This screw was jammed into the gas pump nozzle which I of course didn't see, so when I stuck the thing in my gas tank, it got stuck. I thought it was some kind of new locking nozzle or something. Finally jimmied it loose and found I'd just gotten screwed. Whoever did this needs to be castrated in the worst way possibly. And the screw is firmly stuck in there, no easily removing it. What a douche.

What’s the point in that? How did it affect your ability to get gas?

It affected my ability to leave. For a while the nozzle just would not come out of my gas tank. The screw had gone into the opening and lodged itself in there. I had another dude come check and he couldn't remove it either. It was stuck in there wouldn't come out. Finally I managed to wiggle it exactly the right way to get it out. Either way it could have caused damage to the gas pump or the car or both. So why even do that? What kind of ****ing douche bag thinks that random damage to **** they don't own is funny? That's ****ed up. There is no way that screw could have gotten in that position without human intervention. **** that guy.

That sleave needs to be pushed in for the nozzle to work, so maybe they put the screw there so they could fill a gas can or the like without the back pressure stopping the pump.

Possible but when I used it the backpressure acted as usual, no difference. I couldn't think of a single legitimate use, unless they had a gas tank/can of some kind the nozzle kept falling out of or something like that. Still is a terrible solution, if that was even the issue. I still think it was malicious.

Ah, gotcha. I’d understood that it hindered you filling up. Definitely seems malicious.

Yeah I should have made that more clear. I was just too busy being pissed off. My inner Dexter was acting up.
 
How can our medical community be so out of touch with patients and the real world? So now I have an infection in a tooth. It's causing me a lot of pain. I'm in between on my pain medication prescriptions so I'm currently out of anything strong. So I inform the dentist that I've been popping ibuprofen like candy, 4 at a time 3 or 4 times a day to deal with it. He says "I'll give you something for the pain". What does he give me? 800 mg Ibuprofen. Exactly what I've been taking and told him is doing nothing. Do they really believe that if it comes from a prescription it must just automatically be stronger or something? As advanced as our medical system is in general it's just amazing sometimes how ****ing stupid it is.

Gotta go to the streets for that pain medicine you seek I guess. If you lived closer I could hook you up.

Dude that much ibuprofen will damage your kidneys. My mum is in constant pain, we saw a pain specialist on Tuesday who prescribed her some new meds, they made almost no difference their thinking is that when they put her pacemaker in they caused nerve damage in leg/groin. Life is hell in constant pain bro, mum wakes me up two or three times a night cause i can hear her screaming and crying.

Nerve pain is so awful. I wake up frequently due to nerve pain in my feet and face. My mother is very deaf without hearing aids, so I fortunately don't wake her up with my moans and screams.

I can only hope for organ failure. So far it has eluded me. Coming up on 25 years since my first chemo treatments. Cancer couldn't even do me in.

So sorry. That's terrible.
 
Mr Indestructible! For better or worse.
I tell my wife that I'm her curse. Until she learns whatever lesson she has to learn, she's stuck with me.

Honestly though, can't tell you what an awesome woman I'm married to. Unfailingly supportive and unconditional love no matter all the **** we've been through, or that I put her through. I don't know why I got so lucky there. I married up for real.
