This thing annoys me

[threemeninaboat]

Like a mosquito.

One of randomdreams relatives is often harping about how he, "Needs a cell phone. Must carry ID when out bike riding. Must wear Road ID/Medic Alert bracelet. Must go to doctor to get that heart issue looked at. YOU HAVE TO!"

I get roped into it, "Wouldn't you want someone to call you if he got hit by a car? Wouldn't you care if he died from the heart thing? OMG he's stuck in traffic and can't call and say he's late!"

Look lady, clearly in your relationship it's fine for you to go around making demands of other people. In mine, it's not. Which means we almost never hurl around statements like, "YOU HAVE TO!" irregardless of the others potential death. So no, I'm not going to badger him about his own personal freedoms. And your badgering is annoying. Please discuss children's literature or somesuch.


My, I am posty.

My first reaction, after having temped in a hospital, is to feel sorry for the person whose job it is to try to figure out who all the injured unconscious John Does are every day. Do they have a training manual? What is in chapter 1? #1. Look for wallet? #2. Check tags in clothes for name written in sharpie from when they went to summer camp? #3. Scan body for silicone butt implants? #4. Check expensive bike for contact info?
