I couldn't understand what I was hearing and it was super trippy.

They required my brother to sit in the waiting room of the dentist when they pulled my wisdom teeth this weekend. I guess someone died and people started taking that poo poo seriously. I was able to walk around and poo poo after the procedure, but I don't remember the next three hours. Kinda scary stuff.

Orthodontist got me so obliterated when I had my wisdom teeth out I don't remember it. I remember being in the waiting room, and remember waking up in the car when my mom was driving me home. Between those two points is absolutely nothing.

Yeah, I got knocked out for my wisdom tooth removal this Feb because the other one with a local sucked rear end. Exactly the same.

I was around 13, going in for a filling or something. I'd never needed sedation for dentistry and without checking with my mom the dentist decided to give me nitrous. He also decided to turn it up high enough that after just a few breaths I passed out. This was about 40 years ago and I still distinctly remember how I suddenly was looking down at myself, and the image began to rotate, slowly at first, and then faster and faster until I lost consciousness. When I woke up I sat bolt upright, my hand grabbing for the mouthful of equipment that the dentist had left behind. The whole place was empty except for a single assistant who walked over to remove it all. I made it to the parking lot before I threw up, and have had a dental phobia ever since. When I went a couple of years ago it was for the first time since the 1980s. This also contributed heavily to why I have never tried recreational drugs.

Oh FFS, one more dentist story. Took the wife in to get her wisdom teeth out. So she is half-awake and somewhat lucid post surgery. The ortho guy looked at me and said she won't remember a thing we talk about in front of her. That bastard was dead on.

When I had mine out I remember up to them giving me the 10 second countdown, and at "7" I was thinking the usual teen boy thought of "I'm tough and I'm going to make it to zero". Needless to say everything from that moment until waking up is <SCENE MISSING>. Also apparently the waking up I remember was the second time. And there was also a third and fourth time before my mom managed to get my rear end in to the truck. And I spent the ride home hanging my head out the window like a dog.

I'm jealous of you guys, I went under for my wisdom tooth/jaw cyst surgery. Not only did I wake up during the procedure, but I was fully lucid and remember everything perfectly Being a ginger sucks sometimes

I think being forced to watch and listen to panel news shows on nitrous is probably banned under the Geneva convention.

My wife requires heavier sedation than I do and it's always like this for her. Immediately after the procedure she's lucid, maybe a bit sleepy at most. But it's a solid 24 hours before she can start remembering anything that happens to her. When I went under for a hernia surgery they were going to have me count back from 10 and I didn't even start. They prefaced it with "this might burn a little" and I got halfway through saying "that was more than a little" before I was gone. Apparently when I started coming to, I was yelling about my balls being on fire. Which they were because whatever they used as a topical disinfectant absolutely roasted my skin. I do recall complaining repeatedly about it and I'm sure I had zero control over my volume. IOwnCalculus fucked around with this message at 17:20 on May 1, 2019 |

When I had my first colonoscopy whatever they pumped me full of caused me to lose the rest of the day. I vaguely remember going to the store and getting something to eat, but after that nothing. Although that's somewhat better than the one I just had where I woke up before they were done pulling the tube out. That was moderately uncomfortable.

Come on y'all, bring in a set of headphones and cue up a good playlist on your phone. Crank the volume when things get hairy. Even without gas, it does wonders to keep you chill when the dentist is drilling away. To keep the derail from getting too far out of hand, here's a new crash/road rage video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN7DWMjdD1g

Speaking of asshats clipping cars, someone backed their trailer hitch into my wife's car and didn't leave a note or anything. (Or she backed into it and is lying... but I'll never safely accuse her of that.) Big ol' square shaped scuffs on her rear bumper.

I watched a guy almost back his tow hitch into my front bumper while I was in the car two nights ago. Literally had to lay into my horn to get this fucker to stop, and then he just peels out in front of me like I'm the rear end in a top hat. gently caress you, buddy. If I hadn't been there I am 100% sure he would have smashed my bumper and just taken off.

In fairness (?), I was parked on the street and this guy was attempting to parallel park into a spot that was clearly like a foot too small for his truck. I probably should have honked at him sooner but it was kind of amusing watching him try at first.

Well don't go to Europe, you're not gonna be able to park anywhere without squeezing in backwards. And liberal bumper use, if you're in the south.

I think the better justification for backing into parking spots is that people in parking lots are psychopaths and that superior forward visibility is better utilized for spotting traffic when pulling out. Then again, I've never in 19 years of driving managed to hit a stationary object so maybe my perspective is skewed.

The only people I know who tried to back into every spot did so in some bizarre attempt to demonstrate driving skills, something that they lacked in almost every other regard.

I used to park the mini backwards when the parking space didn't continue into another space, like up against a wall. But the Subaru and the ranger both get parked like normal because it just feels right.

I don't mind people who back into 90-degree spaces but I've never understood the people who back into angled parking. I'll see it sometimes in a parking garage downtown and I'll wonder what they think they're getting out of it. The rows are rather cramped so it must have taken an eleven-point turn to get in there, and it'll take another to get out. It's always some huge pickup or SUV too.

I almost always back in, I have literally never hit another car while parking, and I object to the misconceived notion of "liberal bumper use". That's not what bumpers are for. (oh, and yeah, backing into angled directional parking is weird.)

Forgiving the car going over the white lines to merge early, I can see how that might look more ridiculous than it could have played out. Car wants to merge, checks rear, sees motorcycle is there but is far enough to merge. Starts to merge, looks in mirror to make sure motorcycle didn't sneak up, and then boom. And the vehicles stopped in front could have been obscured by the other merging cars, because it doesn't look like traffic is completely stopped. Looks ridiculous from that angle, though.

I like to back into spaces because it lets me load poo poo into the trunk from the sidewalk instead of being out in the lane. If there's no curb parking, I'll just park however far out I have to in order to find a pull through spot, because I'd rather walk further than back out.

The secret to backwards parking is rolling the window down and sticking your head out. Also positioning before you even pop it in reverse. I will sometimes back in to take advantage of how the sun hits my car since our spaces are east-west. Park facing the evening sun in the summer, and your car will be boiling without a sunshade. In the winter and early-spring your car is nice and pre-heated.

I'm not saying it's definitely not just the driver being a lovely driver (they already shouldn't have tried to merge that early) /shrug SOMEtimes, accidents are actually just accidents. I could easily see how things could have played out the way I described. It doesn't take much for an accident to happen.

However you can see the at fault car already going faster than other merging traffic, it wasn't even a forced merge lane, and right lane traffic did not slow down all that much (look at the tanker.) Dude did not crash out of concern for the motorcycle else there would have never been an unnecessary unnecessary early merge.
