Random Fail: First World Problems

[Kohan]

Unless things change, I specifically remember this being brought up in drivers ed, that even if you are rear ended, if you get pushed into the car in front of you, you can be held liable for your front end damage and the rear damage of the car in front of you. It's bullshit, but yea.

Note also this is in california, your laws may be less retarded.

Yeah, California lawmakers obviously know nothing about physics and didn't bother to consult anyone who understands it. I wonder how they walk down stairs without eating shit.

Belated, but as I'm a stickler when it comes to good driving and adhering to the rules of the road, I noticed this, and immediately thought that it wasn't true. It's not, as California does not legally define liability, and this is determined depending upon the circumstances of the accident.

Nonetheless, and as mentioned, you should always be able to see the tires of the car in front of you—and if you don't, you are probably too close.

Back is worse today so ordered a free Amazon Kindle book to read on bed. Finally get comfy and don't see the book. I just realized that I haven't used the Kindle since we got a new modem and I need the password to the WiFi to update and download said book. That means getting up again.. Fuck.

This is why the extra money for my 3g was worth it!

We won this Kindle Fire in a raffle drawing a few years ago so I can't complain too much.

Uh, I texted you the wifi code just so you wouldn't have to turn the comcrap modem upside down to read it..........

So I'm in back pain, ask my primary what steps we can take to try and further diagnose and basically shoved off with no acknowledgment of the issues, just pushing me off back to the neurologist who has stated he has done all he can. But it's obviously just arthritis or my weight according to her and it's nothing that she can help with.

I'm sorry but I find it hard6to believe it's normal to have numbness and pain in my left thigh and leg on a regular basis and back pain so bad on one side I can't bend over.
Fuck this shit.

Yeah, it sucks being fat and having other issues on top of it. I went through four different doctors growing up, all of which diagnosed my mild-moderate asthma (induced by pet allergies) as me being a fat, whiny bitch. You can't imagine the relief I felt when it was finally diagnosed correctly and I got help for it, but it took me going to the doctor in the middle of an attack for him to listen to the wheezing to believe me.

I'm sure you're familiar with this kind of treatment, so try going to someone new if you can, and choose your words carefully. Don't use generic, stereotypical words/phrases like "my legs/back hurt", because the minute you plant the seed that it could be because of your weight, you're fucked.

[BaneTheBrawler]

that applies to everyone, to a certain extent. doctors are often subconsciously arrogant, even the good ones. they know their shit and you don't, so they're trained to place little weight on generic complaints. i've found phrases like "i think" to be dangerous. it implies that i don't really know. bitches loves confidence, and doctors heed it. so be assertive and confident when talking with your doctor and you'll get better results.

Holy shit tooth pain is back with a vengeance. Flares up once in a while and I'm generally fine most of the time but right now I want to crawl into a hole and die lol

[Eldelphia]

I have to agree with Bane on that.

As I said earlier

In my experience the toothache comes in waves, you'll need to start taking and upping the frequency of doses for half a week, then reverse it, and then it settles down for a few months.
But then that whole process will happen more and more frequently, and worse and worse pain, until you can't sleep and reach the fetal ball stage.

These are really good points that I had not thought of. I definitely agree with what is said , it's just that I don't feel anyone should have to second guess how they feel if they know their body something is off. That's where I am at right now.
Less tasn five minutes after I emailed the Neurogolist explaining my concerns from my primary , he called me. My primary hasn't been good enough to even reply to my emails personally so I thanked him for his continued professionalism and prompt nature.
He had called last week to let me know my test results and to follow up which was appreciated. I spoke with him about my options and got that off my chest at least.

I guess my way of thinking is I don't want to turn a blind eye to factors that MAY impact my health - my weight being the only factor I am aware of since all my blood work and BP has always been great outside of a slightly high glucose test.
I just want to acknowledge that I am aware the impact my weight can have and that I am trying to change it but it's very difficult to get back to the gym when I have to walk down two flights of stairs , down a 90 degree hill , take the bus and walk a quarter mile to the gym when you can barely walk around your apartment. I miss that walk now..it sucks. I've maintained for now sitting right around 265 but that is not good enough for me , I have not given up even when people assume I have..then there is the emotional stress from all this too. Norco has seemed to help so i'm stuck on that regimen again for now.

I just figured being accountable for my own health and choices was better than saying " Nope weight can't possibly affect anything" - can't win either way I guess. I'm not assertive..at all. I struggle with being heard 90% of the time. I will stand my ground but it takes a lot to get me there. All I know is that having all these issues after losing weight is like a kick in the fucking face , or maybe it;s coincidence , bleh. I appreciate all the honest feedback , it helps me with a logical side of things I don't always see.

I'm so sorry CS , I dealt with a rotting/chipped tooth for a good 5-6 years before it got to the point it had to be removed. If there are any local dental schools they may be able to help at a much lower cost.
I was taking 800mg of ibuprofen 4 times a day to just get by for years. I hope you can find some relief because when it gets to that point it may get worse

So my sister calls me Monday and ask me if I can talk to the Kia manager to arrange her a meeting and possible a deal because she wants a Kia ( that Kia is one of my client so I'm allowed to some deals).

Calls the manger and set up a meeting for my sister today at 14h. Fast forward to today, sister calls me, happy that she got an awsome deal and she will buy her Kia there. ( I'm not in good terms with my sister, but I still grats her and all). 1h after I send her a text because I forgot to give her my card. ( since I'm referring her I have access to some fidelity points for services there ( nothing big but it's about 100$))


At 19h00 got a call from her saying my mom gave her HER card to use so my mom got the points.

( I guess my failure starts here)

I call my mom and ask her politely why she did that, since I'm the one who referee my sister and got the meeting and all. And then my mom starts arguing saying that I don't need those 100$ and all.

Of course I don't need those 100$ it's just as a principle. So then my mon starts crying and all and blame me for beeing selfish.

Well guess I won't help them anymore.

Really hate my family sometimes

Family and business never fucking mix even when the intent was in the right place which it appears it was.
It's one of many reasons I never used any of my perks working in hotels for my own family..I didn't trust them at all. Family fucking sucks - my friends that I met online in fucking gaming have had more decency overall.
It's a shitty situation but reminds me why my husband doesn't deal with his mom and as far as I am concerned she doesn't exist either.

Your horrible fucking grammar aside you're not in the wrong dude. It's the principle of the matter. You helped your sister out and asked for her to do something very simple in return and she chose to essentially say fuck off.

[bluefan]

rata...you're family sounds like the Francophone family I know here haha. Last argument I was apart of was between my buddy and his sister versus their mom on the phone. Came in during board game night so while those three were arguing on the phone, my other buddy (the husband of the daughter) are just sitting there waiting for them. I turn to him and basically give a small laugh about marrying into that family.

Then I got the death stare from the siblings This all over the mother asking for an honest opinion about the dress she was wearing to a wedding and then breaking down from the blunt answers (it was a polka dot knee length dress with a gigantic belt).
