Not an irk, RL peeve or disgruntlement but....

I'M FUCKING OFFICIALLY OUT OF ACTIVE DUTY!!!!!!!!!!!

A man isn't worth shit if he feels the need to take his frustration and anger out on those around him through violence; especially not your adult daughter - your only child that still cares when the others have washed their hands of you. I'm not your fucking punching bag.

My one true pet peeve: People who come to the emergency department for "cold symptoms" they can treat at home, then have the nerve to bitch about wait times and how "This is ridiculous! I NEED TO BE SEEN!" because there are higher acuity patients being treated long before their sniffles and coughs. Please, people. Go to urgent care.

The amount of affection and care I see in my patients and their spouses day in an day out warms my heart. I also love when there's an opportunity that arises when we can genuinely make a difference in how people who come in for treatment and care are feeling. I love my job.

@buttercup I've gotten to see Abbas develop from different angles over his run in Arx. You've always been amazing at portraying the character and the livelihood he and the Reavers developed with time. He'll be missed and I hope you stick around in some form or another in Arx.

@tragedyjones @Admiral Are you guys playing Fallout 76 on console or PC? I'm hoping to get a good group together so I don't have to play with weirdos.

@tinuviel said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@auspice Well that's what you get for using the wrong Soapbox skin.

If it's wrong, then I never wanna be right. I use that skin happily.

@sunny Again -- You know what, I'mma just slide up in your DMs.

I would rather people didn’t start scenes when they have RP commitments coming up within a hour or two of starting that scene, knowing they’re more than likely going to have to pose out and run off to the next thing. It always makes me feel like I’m someone’s temporary entertainment until the thing they want comes around, and turns me off from wanting to really be creative in how I engage someone if they’re just ticking down the minutes until the next thing.

@thatguythere Club Lazy.

@auspice

@aria I've never had an issue with getting clues. The only thing that gets in the way of it is when I just don't have the AP (which is very rare), so I try to direct them to someone else who might be able to give it to them. At the very least, I'll talk about it.

@ThatGuyThere

@surreality My father used to make fun of me because I, too, could practically grab anything with my toes.

Gotta love that flexibility. Ayyye.

@auspice

@sockmonkey I think I might go see it this weekend.

@auspice MOOSEX MOOD MUSIC, AMIRITE?

Spotify actually has some pretty dope songs that I keep in playlists for when I'm somehow somewhere that I can't play my Apple Music or there's song mixes only on Spotify.

@Admiral As a young woman of color and who's spent the majority of her adult life in a male-dominated field, I can honestly say that it does not make someone a bad person if they don't want to report that they've been - or suspect that - sexually harassed, regardless of if it's Morgan Freeman or some other random person in a position of influence or power over you. People's natural instincts are anything from not wanting to make enemies out of their co-workers (like you said), risk losing their job, ruining their credibility/not being believed, self-doubt, or any other reason.

No, that doesn't make it right but that's often what it is. People would rather suffer that shit in silence and keep it moving than risk an even worse situation of being viewed as social pariahs and bullied or ridiculed by their peers with slut shaming/accused of lying for X reason.

Or, better yet, the woman blowing her sexual harassment whistle is doing it out of spite and trying to fuck over whatever poor dude wronged her. Or was trying to get some attention in the case of some media stars or influential people having those kind of allegations thrown against tbem.

@ganymede I really don't like that we're really sitting here making comparisons about whether black men or white men are getting called out more for sexual harassment. The spotlight should be on any and everyone equally who ends up being called out for their terrible behavior. This shit is silly now.

In our emergency department, we have a few regulars that I've begun to become acquainted with over the several months I've been working there. One of them is this old black man with a few mental health issues that's regularly in and out of BH hold. He calls me "Sweet Tits" and "Candy Ass" and is generally pretty compliant with me when he's in my care, so I generally grin & bear it even though his nicknames for me are pretty cringey but whatever.

So, today I went to the Walgreens to pick up my medicine from the pharmacy. While I'm waiting in line, I suddenly hear someone shouting, "It's my SWEEEEEEEEEET TITS!"

I turn around, and this fucker halfway across the store limping towards me faster than I've seen him move in like, ever since knowing him. Just grinning like crazy and going, "Hey Sweet Tits! I knew I recognized that ass! C'mere, sugar!"

He was luckily in a good mood today so I talked to him for a few minutes then noped out of there as fast as I could go without running like a mad woman. I wish I could've died right there on the spot. It's hilarious now, thinking back. Pretty awkward and cringey, but not terrible.
