Pet Peeve rants.

I had a crappy HP printer quit working today. Since I had to install software on the machine, I took extra time to try to save the darn printer. Needless to say I ended up with ink all over my hands...

Then I had to pee.
But my hands were too dirty to pee.
So I wash my hands first.
The water is warm.
I damn near pee myself...

I prefer "Pick your vagina up off the floor, and get to work." Also hilarious but more sexist is "Take your balls out of your purse..."

I've also gotten more bitter about it since getting an IUD, which was more painful than any surgery I've ever had. It's like when women give birth and then describe it as a whole different level of pain. Don't bitch about your paper cut to someone who has a bullet wound.

Yeah, but do they know you have an IUD? They may not realise this. But, I suppose this is a thread for our irrational annoyances anyway :D

Hey, I spent a good 6 months being asked when the General was going to propose on a DAILY BASIS at work. Now, I have to constantly answer the question "So, have you done anything for your wedding?"

Uhh....I ate ice cream and made fun of 'Say Yes to the Dress' with my fiance. Does that count?

I have bitter bride syndrome.

If you've never had children (like me) it is harder to do. The doctor actually had to do mine twice b/c he measured wrong the first time. In all honesty, it was like being stabbed internally. They had given me two of those big Oxycotin pills to take in the morning. The day before, I'd been given dilation medication as well as something else to help with that. I was floating beforehand. The General held my hand while I crushed his fingers. Afterwards, when we were checking out, things went all white and fuzzy. My ears didn't work for a second. I had cramps off and on for 2 months that mimicked labor contractions. I really think it was just me and my odd lady parts, but I would totally get it again now that I know what to expect. Only this time, I'd ask to be heavily sedated.

I'm so sorry to hear that - really scary. I had no idea.

It hurts after you have children, too. I went to have one put in a few months after having my son. The frelling thing wouldn't stay in when my doctor would trim the strings. After the third attempt in the same appointment I finally just said to forget about it. I was done. I was in so much pain I was almost sobbing. It wasn't crampy pain. It was white hot, gritting my teeth pain. I went to the appointment alone (my husband was home with the baby) and wasn't so sure I'd be able to drive myself home because I was shaking. I bled for three days afterward. I got told to take Advil for the pain. It was awful and I would never do it again.

When your watching TV and you click on the show and they say its a rerun you want to watch, yet when you watch the show its a completely different episode 9 times out of ten one you have seen a thousand times before!

Also how on some channels when they show late night reruns, the commercial breaks can be so damn long that they go into the show! Dammit, I wanna watch Transformers without having to turn on another electrical appliance dammit! GO GREEN! I know that sounds persnickety, but hey its a pet peeve.

Yeah, that's not supposed to happen. Wonder if the doctor knew what they were doing, those symptoms sound like incorrect insertion.

My wife never experienced issues with them on insertion, but I think she had her first one after having two children. She said that period related cramping was much worse with a copper IUD than with any other birth control. The hormone IUD was much better, but costly.

I, however, could tell that it was in place and wasn't a big fan despite the midwife's consistent assurances that it wasn't possible for me to notice the plastic "string". I did notice, and it was somewhere between uncomfortable and painful. Have no idea why the midwife didn't believe me, but due to the cost under insurances since that time we haven't gone back to them.

Her favorite birth control was NuvaRing, using three in a row, then skipping a week, so she only had a few periods a year, although depo shots are close behind.

And you didn't mind the Nuva? My ex used them for a while, and they are practical, but I always got annoyed... Half the time it would come out, or I'd push it into something which hurt her, or whatever. And it tastes horrible when it decides to come out unexpectedly. Err, so I heard. Ahem.

My wife did depo for a while. The weight gain was spectacular. As soon as she stopped, the weight fell back off.

My doctor tried to tell me that the weight was because I was a lazy junk food eater. Except I was working out on a regular basis and eating a mostly vegetarian diet. And since depo made me evil I kept envisioning forcefully shoving my heel into his nose during the exam.

I've had those doctors. 'It's not the drugs. It's you.' Shut the hell up. THAT can be another pet peeve; doctors who overly blame the patient.[DOUBLEPOST=1366977312][/DOUBLEPOST]

Now that I've had mine for about 6 months, I'm happy with it. No lady times, minimal cramping after the first three months, and its failure rate is lower than permanent sterilization, which is why I chose to do this instead of having surgery. I went to a specialist who did an ultrasound before and after insertion to make sure things were placed right. The first time he tried, it didn't go as planned. I'm glad for the ultrasound because having a baby is NOT on the agenda for us. My body won't let me. Regardless of what I do, Mr. Specific will be getting the snippy snippy as a wedding present.

I've had a vasectomy. It's not bad at all. In and out. I had an awesome doctor, who surprisingly had never been told that an anagram of his name was nut seezer. While it's not perfect, it's hilarious given his specialty. I also learned (fortunately NOT the hard way) that making the guy going at your balls with a sharp knife laugh is not a good idea.

Oh, I did forget one thing. There is a building pressure that you'll feel for the obvious reasons for the first week or so. Some ice helps. You're told not to, well, do anything with your junk ifyouknowwhatimean for like 8 days. At the end of 8 days, it's like that scene from the first Scary Movie. And what a relief.

Pet peeve: when young guys dress like old men. I don't know--just seems so pretentious and douchey. I'm talking about newsboy hats and suspenders and high-waisted pants.

I know the kind of look you mean, and I partly agree... But I do think suspenders look cute.
