Thank god for hot showers. Without one, I'd probably be breaking down and going postal on someone right now. Fuck today was awful.
<useless rant>
So it starts out at the doctor's office. First, the receptionist was rude as hell. Anyway, not that anyone needs to know, but I've been having some serious bladder problems lately. No pain, just I've been needing to piss a lot like 2-3 times every night, and 4-5 times in the day (more even). I hadn't been to this clinic in about a year, and I guess in the meantime some of the clinic doctors switched around and management changed or whatever.
Anyway, my new doctor is this awkward ass asian dude who I can hardly understand sometimes his accent is thick. The guy is just really humorless and has horrible bedside manner. Not that I mind that in people generally, but I expect my doctor to take some human interest in me. So I tell him about my bladder problem, and without even looking at me, he says "You might have diabetes." Without even so much as asking if I have any questions, he starts filling out a form for a lab test and leads me out. you're probably thinking what's the big deal... the big deal is I MIGHT HAVE FUCKING DIABETES I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUT IT SOUNDS SCARY BECAUSE IT COULD TOTALLY CHANGE MY LIFE STYLE, SHORTEN MY LIFE, AND FUCK UP MANY OF THE THIGNS I WANT TO DO IN LIFE AND THE FUCKER DOESN'T EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?!?!?! FUCKIGN ASSHOLE. It is just not fucking acceptable for a doctor to have no communication skills whatsoever (DR. HOUSE IS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER).
Second bad thing: I nearly get fucking assaulted. On the way to the supermarket to pick up some prescriptions, I was driving more aggressively than usual and I don't let this guy (pedestrian) coming out of the parking lot cross the street. I was probably going pretty fast for a supermarket parking lot coz he throws a fit and starts makign all these gestures at me. I'm in no fuckign mood and I flip him off (probably not the smartest thing to do, in retrospect). This REALLY sets him off and he comes after my car. I park, lock my fuckign doors and get in a yelling match at him and he's threatening to beat the shit out of me. He's standing RIGHT in front of my car so I can't get out without backing out. After a while I've had enough and pick up my phone pretending I'm calling 911 and he runs off.
and he's fucking twice my size no way i'm getting a fistfight with the guy,
anyway
end rant
fucking a this diabetes thing is bothering the shit out of me.

just to be clear, the supermarket was right after my doctor's appointment, which explains the hyper aggressive driving and middle finger
some more thoughts:
* in one instant this has made me pro-gun with the realization that a.) banning guns may prevent crime, but it is unrealistic to believe you can eliminate gun imports in a nation with land borders as big as ours b.) it is fucking scary to be approached aggressively by a guy twice as big as you. i would've LOVED to have a gun when that guy was threatening me, because I was fucking scared, I admit. I didn't know if he had a weapon himself.

I probably piss more often than you, thought I had diabetes for a while too but got it tested and apparently had no problems.
weak bladder I guess :[
|
how much water do u drink
and im no med expert but would bladder training be useful, ie u force yourself to go to the bathroom less times

yeah....
or you could've just said "sir I apologise I just found out I might have diabetes it was a stupid and reckless thing to do of me."
How this can make you PRO gun is beyond me, you admit you were at fault but think your life is somehow more important than others because you should still be able to pull a gun on him? Im not sure I understand your logic, just because he's twice as big doesn't mean he's gonna beat you up.
|
Sorry to hear that you might have diabetes but you need to get your anger under control, it's making your judgement exceptionally poor and that can't end well.

I don't think he meant he was going to "pull a gun out on him"

Because he has a gun he will feel more powerful and be more unreasonable, provoking more violence in the other dude which will result in conflict and thus a pulled gun even faster. Having a gun is only gonna make matters worse.

Oh, I totally agree with you. I was just pointing out I really don't think he meant using the gun to threaten him, but to have it just in case for protection.
|
definitely did not want to shoot the guy. i think you misinterpreted my point about guns a lot. i just wanted to feel safe. ya it would've made me feel more powerful, but the point is I need to feel safe. would i be more likely to kill him? ya. but i would also be more likely to not get the shit beat out of me. anyway, i refuse to get any further into politics.
or you could've just said "sir I apologise I just found out I might have diabetes it was a stupid and reckless thing to do of me."
You try doing this in an anxious mood with a two hundred something pound very burlesque man with a van gogh three feet away from you threatening to beat the shit out of you. THEN we talk.

I don't want to come down to hard on you after you received some extremely shitty news, but have you ever stopped to think about the possibility of the next time something like this happening, the other person is the one with the gun? I'd rather know that the chances of the douchebag I'm jawing with having a gun are slim and I may get my ass beat, but chances are I'm not going to die.

Yeah, but look at how gun owners in LA deal with road rage. You could be shot first!
|
nah im not offended if you condemn my newfound position on guns
i just dont wanna talk politics
but for the record, i believe that abolishing guns solves crime. but i don't believe a policy similar to what they have in japan, an ISLAND nation, is remotely possible in the states. thus, you might as well make guns legal but difficult to acquire. it's similar to my stance on drugs: legalize it so you can control it, and because legal enterprises are less violent.

Im just saying sometimes it's better to feel fear and running away than doing something reckless, pride is a bad motivator for behavior. But enough about this, noone got hurt, lesson learned.
Isn't the pee-a-lot-diabetes accompanied by a lot of drinking as well? Even if you have this form of diabetes I don't think it's as bad as you think it might be. It's not the kind of diabetes where you have to check your sugar all the time and inject yourself with insuline etc.

guns are bad leads to arms race yo

I know how you feel. Once my mom was driving our minivan, and I was sitting in the back with the seat reclined. We were in the lane going strait and there was a long line, but the turn lane next to use was wide open. It was dark, so she starts to turn onto the other lane, and these guys who are driving way too fast swerve and hit their horn.
Its dark and I'm kind of low in the back, so I don't think anyone saw me, but the guy gets out of his car, walks up to the window, and starts yelling at my mom, calling her a bitch and some other things. Anyway, he left in about 5 - 10 seconds, and I never got up and they never saw me (I was 21 then, not a kid).
After an experience like that you realize that there is a reason people have guns.
