Yeah, it doesn't piss you off how you wait for a minute or two for somebody to come out of a spot in an otherwise almost completely full car park just for somebody who comes out of nowhere and takes it on you the last second before you can park at it.

That is annoying. If they've seen you. If not, swings and roundabouts really. No?

Madmaggie exactly but even with a third level education, the default setting seems to be that the patient is unable to comprehend, regardless.

How about they just flip that over : assume every patient is able to understand, explain thoroughly, and use communication skills to ensure that patient did indeed understand.

Remember the fan remake of Metroid 2, AM2R? Nintendo DMCA'd it. I know we got a solid official remake last year, but come on, Nintendo. Is that your idea of treating fans with respect?!

A few years back I was on a bus from Limerick to Cork and there was a woman near the back having a very loud phone conversation and laughing loudly. After about 5 minutes of this, her phone rang. Nearly fell off the seat with laughter.

I assume the call simply dropped and other person called back, however with the look of the woman I wouldn't be surprised if she did it just to be annoying!

Pedestrians and pedestrian crossings.

The amount of idiotic pedestrians who don't know the correct use of them get's on my nerves. They're a danger to themselves.

It's one thing to believe just because there is pedestrian crossing you wrongly think it gives you an automatic right of way and this will empower you with the jedi-like power to instantly stop vehicles weighing almost a tonne bearing down on you, it's another to see the clowns who just walk straight across the crossing with nary a glance either way that annoy me. A special place in the Hall of Stupidity is reserved for those who do that while emerging from parked cars as if drivers have Superman like powers which enable them to see through those parked vehicles, so self absorbed are these pedestrians they don't understand that if I have to brake hard to avoid killing you because of your stupidity, then I can only hope that the driver of the vehicle behind me has cat like reflexes when it comes to brakes.

Traffic must yield at a pedestrian crossing, not will yield. There is no guarantee that traffic will stop, the crossing does not give you right of way, you wait until it's safe to cross. If you don't understand that and find yourself getting serious injuries or worse for being so mind-numbingly thick you'll be getting no sympathy from me.

A friends a little tight with cash. Thinks her friends who work full time should pay more than she should. Ie, if we went for dinner she’d expect the people working to cover her.

Went to the cinema last night. She was fifteen mins late and the trailers had finished and movie started. I got the tickets for both of us as well as snacks so as she wouldn’t waste a further five mins. She watched the movie ate and drank the snacks and walked back to her car after the movie was over without so much as even offering to cover her ticket

I went to a clinic in the local hospital, the lady I saw, read my file and went to get someone(M)else. Who brought along a student who didn't have a name.
Anyway, then the someone else told me I was (insert condition of the month, a condition already known to me ) and if I didn't sort that out, I would contract (insert another condition of the month here, a condition much threatened in my family, but never diagnosed) and get very ill and die.
At the end of all this patronising, he says "I suppose that will happen anyway as you have B condition"(already diagnosed)
Still can't figure out the point of that. TA
Neither condition can be fixed by scaring the sufferers.

What's worse than this is something I see a dozen times every day here in Monaghan town. The council have put 2 parallel lines at various crossing points in the town. I did think they were for school crossing guards or something like that but some of them are nowhere near schools. People just seem to use them like zebra crossings and step out in front of cars all the time. I see children doing it all the time now because that is what they have come to expect.

TA at yet another meeting with a health provider today who, rather than explain and make an accurate point, decided I was too thick to understand.

I would much rather have been told that well, there were studies for and against, and nothing yet proven either way, so erring on the side of caution was the best option in their opinion.

Instead I was told one over-simplified version of events. Cos' you know, let's just assume the customer/patient cannot possibly comprehend the complexities of medical research or approach.

The Irish medical profession really needs an overhaul in communication skills and policies.

Doctors seem amazed sometimes with the knowledge patients can have. A doctor was changing me to an different antibiotic once and I made a comment like “oh, yeah, that’s a broad spectrum antibiotic” and he was like “wow, are you a nurse?”. I was thinking “nope just a science grad who probably has a more in-depth knowledge of science than you, Mr. Scratching The Surface Medical Degree”.

I don’t wonder at doctors because, like any job, a small percentage of them will be incompetent. Crappy doctors delayed my cancer diagnosis to the point that it spread.

My god, the UK and the bureaucracy and "computer says no" attitude. So I had to cancel my appointment at the CF clinic this morning because my NHS number didn't arrive.

So then I ring the GP to make sure I can still go to my appointment, several departments have to be consulted to check.

Then I go to the GP to get my prescriptions and everything is ok until I mention a drug that isn't on the system, so apparently it just can't be prescribed. I'll try to get it when I go back to Ireland next week. Then I say I'm on the pill and the GP says I have to make a separate appointment to get my blood pressure checked and to talk about contraception. I tell her that I'm married to a woman so it's for my hormones. She just looks at me blankly, no chance you can just do my blood pressure while I'm here then instead of making me come back! Cheers. I'm 29 years old and don't need to chat about contraception. She queries me being on so much reflux meds, yeah well that's because I'm fecked.

Then they need my notes from my GP in Ireland so the receptionist has to ring several departments again to check, eventually I give them the address, confusion because my doctor has an Irish name I have to spell out a few times. I have an Irish name myself that's constantly being mispronounced, today I was called "Ameer", that's a new one!

I'm going back to Cork for a few days next week so I'll have to go to my CF clinic while I'm there, my port urgently needs to be flushed and the CF unit in the UK can't do it until my NHS number comes in. Of course when I arrived at th GP after I cancelled my CF appointment they had my NHS number! Grrm.

Having CF and trying to negotiate a new health system is a pain in my hole.

Went to the pharmacy and they didn't have some of my meds so they need to order them in, grand so. But then they tell me that one of my meds can't be prescribed in a double dose and I need to go back to the doctor to change it. No wonder I don't have time for a job, this crap is full time.

Scanning through the "celebrities you cannot stand" thread brought up a huge TA of mine.

If I hear anyone else, be them a celeb or ordinary human being, refer to themselves as a "foodie" I might just have a violent episode.

Surely we are all foodies? I mean we kind of need to be into food in order to survive. Heck, I like a lie-in of a weekend when I get a chance. For now on I think I will refer to myself as a "sleepie".

In fact "foodie" sounds like you have some sort of weird sexual fetish associated with food.

Why can't people say they are into cooking, or eating out or whatever instead of following the trend of every model-turned-chef in trying to sound cool?

Gimps.

A TA that I frequently deal with are overly tight bottle caps that hurt my hands and make me resort to asking someone to open it for me or opening it myself with a glove on.

On the topic of hurt hands, I also get them while carrying shopping bags on the way home, without wearing gloves.

That's so weird, what was the context?

I once had an acquaintance tell me not to be consumed with bitterness over my cancer. Little do they know that I maintain a positive attitude most of the time in very trying circumstances. But I'm no angel and at times frustration does bubble to the surface. Why do people who barely know you think they have the right to pontificate?

I'm a bit uncomfortable with the whole "open up and have everything out in the open" thing. I think it's more important who you open up to. It doesn't mean you have to open up to everyone about everything. I think I inherited my mother's distaste of airing one's dirty laundry in public.

Makes me shudder a bit too because many people who describe themselves with that word can be boringly snobbish about food and wine.

Oh my gawd, this reminds of a nauseating Facebook post I saw from an acquaintance a while back. (knew her in college, hadn't seen her since and this post prompted me to unfriend her)

The post said that she and her husband had a really nice meal out. She had some Italian dish and brought home leftovers. She said that her 10 year old daughter is a foodie and has a sophisticated palette (her actual words) and that she did a blind taste test with her of the restaurant dish and some of her own homemade version of it that they had leftovers of and that her daughter preferred the homemade stuff.

So much wrong with that post: bragging about her daughter being a foodie, bragging about her daughter having a sophisticated palette, bragging that because she has that sophisticated palette, that her picking the homemade dish meant that my acquaintance is a better cook than the restaurant chef. VOM.
