Oversleeping. It's never the end of the world, and I never miss stuff because of it, but I hate waking up at 12 when I wanted to be awake at 8 or something. It feels like a total waste of time even if I probably needed the extra sleep. Also, when I ask people what time something will be done because I'm trying to make plans for after I'm done helping them, and they give me one time. And then, the day I actually have to help them, they give a completely different time, totally loving up what I was trying to do.

She has one of those picture frames that's, like, a bunch of tiny picture frames stuck together, and all but one of the 16 photos are people she actually knows or is related to. The last is the one that came with the frame, and she takes great delight in seeing what the most outrageous lie she can tell people about it is. Your aunt is awesome, is more like it. I want to start doing this. Potholes are the bane of my existence. Every week I drive on a state road that looks like it's been shelled, and I've had them kill two tires in five months.

Anytime "Can You Blame Me" or "Get It" by Matt and Kim comes on the radio, I am filled with white-hot rage. I hadn't heard of them until a few months ago, but holy poo poo, what an annoying voice. And "Get It" sounds like some sort of school project Gene Belcher would make on Bob's Burgers, but played as a legit pop song.

Murphy Brownback posted:Personally I'd be initially confused what you're even talking about - I've never seen it as anything but EST and it seems kind of pedantic to want it EDT when everyone understands it means "the time it is in the eastern time zone right now". I've also never seen it used to try to sound smart, it's a necessary thing to include if you're trying to coordinate a meeting/telecon with people throughout the country/world. Until someone ends up using the time for EST when they should use EDT, which I've seen happen more than once.

Nettles Coterie posted:How would anyone know that unless they're intimately familiar with that particular light? Lights are usually yellow for a standard length of time, based on the speed limit of the street, yes? Most people can judge, from habit, whether they should keep going through or stop. Some people are idiots/assholes who try to speed through when they shouldn't, or don't pay enough attention. But loving with the timing of the yellow lights is going to gently caress up EVERYONE, not just those assholes, and is obviously going to cause accidents. I can think of two hosed up lights I drive a few times a day. One has a left turn lane that has a cycle where one set of greens is long and the other is short, the other is just super quick compared to other lights on the same road.

Murphy Brownback posted:I hate driving chat but that is one that drives me nuts. Don't wait until the last minute to merge or change lanes, do it as soon as it is possible to do it safely. I also hate it when someone is giving me directions somewhere and I ask which way we're turning next and they say "oh don't worry, we still have a mile to go" even though it's heavy traffic. Just tell me so I can get over now instead of being forced to make a u-turn when I can't merge 200 feet before the intersection when you finally decide to tell me. I almost rear-ended someone yesterday because they sped up to get around my ambulance and then slammed their brakes the second they got in front of me so they could make a right turn. People not understanding large vehicles require more stopping time is one of my peeves.

I work in a town that has the "town" and "village", which are technically two separate entities. Which means that there's a few cases of two roads with the same name in close proximity. Considering a good chunk of my job involves driving an ambulance from point a to point b, this is a major pain in the rear end.

When people confuse "heart attack" and cardiac arrest. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood flow in your heart. Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops beating. Also when people say someone died of cardiac arrest. No poo poo. That's what dying is.

Avenging_Mikon posted:You're an idiot, because medical technology can restart a heart if you're in a hospital, so cardiac arrest isn't instant death. So you kinda do have to specify "died of cardiac arrest." Also opposed to death from gunshot, pneumonia, decapitation, etc which can be forms of death not caused by a heart stopping. Yeah, I know you can restart a stopped heart. I've tried a bunch lately, actually! All of those things you listed lead to cardiac arrest. If a pneumonia patient craps out, the doctors in the hospital aren't going to be like "Oh, well, I guess it was pneumonia!", they're going to work the cardiac arrest. Ditto all of those except for the decaptiation (injuries incompatible with life), but you can bet your rear end that patient is in cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is exactly synonomous with clinical death, so saying "he died of cardiac arrest" is the same as saying "he died of death". You're confusing cardiac arrest with SUDDEN cardiac arrest, which is when your heart just craps out for no apparent reason out of nowhere. Of the four cardiac arrests I've worked this year, only one was SCA.

The electrical activity in the heart's actually done by a bunch of nodes of specialized cells in the heart instead of being controlled by th brain. Shocking someone is more like when your router stops working and you turn it off and turn it back on. Depending on the type of malfunction, sometimes it can work. Sometimes it can't. And if someone crashed a car into your cable hookup, it doesn't have a chance in hell of working.

Stoatbringer posted:I think the original purpose was simply so that emergency services would know to search the wreckage completely in the event of dealing with a crash. I think there had been a few occasions where unconscious/dead adults had been pulled out of the car but they didn't realise until too late that there was a baby on the back seat as well. I don't really buy this, since it's harder to miss the car seat than a "baby on board" sign. And if you have the sign and no car seat for your kid, you've got bigger problems.

When I worked in EMS there were a few people at my agency that did that and it was infuriating. Especially because I could end up on a call that they should have been around to take and get stuck at work for an extra hour and a half. gently caress, man, if you’re always, 100 percent of the time, ten minutes late maybe you should leave ten minutes early! And ten minutes late is closer to 25 minutes late, since most people clocked in fifteen minutes early to check the ambulance/help stop whoever they were relieving from getting stuck on a call.

Gabriel-Ernest posted:Related: my boss will sometimes tell me to do things by simply writing “Thank you for [doing thing I haven’t done yet].” It’s not a passive-aggressive reminder — these are tasks I wouldn’t have known about till she told me — she just uses that language as a way to inform me she’s giving me something to do. But it’s not even phrased as “Thank you in advance,” which is strange, and I don’t like it. Last year when I was working for an urgent care/occupational health thing I used to be getting ready to leave some on-site testing, take my phone outti GPS home,and see an email “confirming me for” some on-site thing I had never been told about the next day. They were so bad about that theyd often end up having me work 10+ days in a row because neither side of the business communicated regarding my schedule. It was so infuriating.

Not sure why I needed a tech to hook up a modem but they wouldn't just send me the modem. Then, I never got a bill for them for my first month, which made sense. Free first month, right? My bill for the second month had a charge for the tech coming, as well as a "late fee" because I didn't pay that during my first month, on account of not getting a bill for my first month and not being told there was a fee for the tech. They did waive the fee and the late fee when I made enough of a stink on their customer support line, like quick enough it made me think this was a pretty common call and something they just kind of hope people roll over and pay or don't notice but have no real legal standing to be doing.

If you stop your car to let someone make a left turn against traffic, you are the absolute worst. I know you think you’re being nice, but at best you’re loving up the flow of traffic and have a decent chance of causing an accident. Ditto for waving pedestrians through crosswalks. I had someone do that while I was going through an intersection and the person just went without looking and I drat near hit them.
