OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

[forty_three]

Please do the decent thing and at least yell 'fore' before you hit them.

I will. Then "five" and then "six" all the way up to "Two hundred and forty thousand nine hundred ninety nine."

So I got pet insurance for my dog, it covers emergency visits in case anything happens, does not cover preexisting conditions. My dog fell off the bed and hurt it's leg, was crying, could not put any weight on it. Took it to the animal hospital for x-rays etc, no broken leg just sprained it's knee.

While examining the dog they discover she has a congenital joint disorder, nothing major and super common to the breed.. So I submit the emergency room visit invoice to my pet insurance provider. They denied the claim due to a congenital disorder. The visit had nothing to do with the congenital disorder, it was a legitimate emergency, double checked the wording of the insurance and everything should be covered but they're doing the insurance company thing and making you jump through hoops before they pay anything.

Sannow I have to file an appeal. Need to contact the animal hospital again and get confirmation that the visit was to check for a broken leg etc. The example I plan to use is, so if my dog swallows rat poison and during emergency surgery they find she has a stomach disorder will they decline that visit as well? What I'm trying to say is fuck insurance companies.

I hate the preexisting condition stuff. It really screws anyone who has the audacity to have a medical problem before they get insurance. "I'm sorry by completely random luck that you have a disorder. No, wait, I'm not sorry. That'll be twice as much money as for anyone else."

At my workplace, we probably have between 50-60 guys on our floor and one bathroom that consists of one urinal and two stalls. It drives me nuts when people queue up behind me like I'm at the stadium watching a game because both stalls are taken and I'm currently using the urinal. Go down one floor and use their bathroom or come back later, I deal with enough pressure already.

Some stadiums used to have a trough like urinal that multiple people could use at once. You should talk to HR about the possibility of putting one of those in.

I'd suggest just putting a drain in the center of the floor and have all the guys stand around facing each other campfire style.

Apparently, there was a survey conducted in which 80% of Americans asked said they would support labeling food containing DNA for containing DNA.

I... uh...

Hmm.

I just can't wait for them to finally label food that contains atoms. WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE NUKULAR CHILDREN?

Haha, it actually bothers me when someone says "nuke" in reference to a microwave (and also that microwaves are called microwaves when they should be called sub-meter waves, but that's a topic for another day). The food is being heated because the water in it is spinning faster, not because you're causing nuclear processes to occur.

Now, if we start cooking with gamma rays, that would be a different story...

I hate when someone heats up soup in the sub-meterwave and they don't clean up the mess if it splashes.

Well I was just in the semi crowded bathroom standing at a urinal and thought of this post and started to laugh. I probably looked like something was wrong with me. Oh well, its Friday.

People who believe internet hoaxes.

A Juggalo did not murder someone from Westboro Baptist Church.
"Guccifer" did not kill himself, nor is he on trial for hacking Hillary Clinton's email.
An "Independant commission" did not find that Barack Obama personally authorized "police brutality" in regards to Ferguson and Baltimore.
Disney did not feed that kid to the gator because he bit a costumed character.
Sharpie is not going to send you a 24 pack of markers to celebrate their birthday
Drone footage has not confirmed Osama Bin Laden is still alive.

For fucks' sake. We have, at our fingertips, the whole of the world's collected knowledge. Accessible 24/7 and within seconds. WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE STUPID SHIT?

My recent favorite is that on a certain date because of its close proximity - Mars is going to be as big in the sky as the moon.

Hmmm, makes you wonder...

I'm about 5 episodes into "Making a Murderer", and it's driving me f'ing nuts. Just makes you wonder how often the poor and/or uneducated are just taken advantage of by the system.

Note, I have lots of cop / RCMP / lawyer friends, totally respect what they do, but it scares me to think how easy is it for bad apples to game the system. Checks and balances just don't seem that effective.
