Walt Longmire Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Went in to do an MRI. Of course masks and social distancing is required, along with all the covid questions. I get to the waiting room and there are 2 people already there. A guy and a gal. The dude has his mask pilled down below his nose. So does the female. She pulls the mask down to her chin, picks her nose. Then digs in her ear. Mask down again and wiping her mouth. She was a petite looking thing but was wearing what looked like size 12 flip flops. I'm losing what little faith I have left in humanity. 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I took my dog to the Vet yesterday, for a regular doggy checkup visit. Of course I wear a mask, socially distance, etc. The desk clerk/nurse runs me through a series of invasive questions to determine if I have ever even remotely come into contact with covid. I explain I am a first responder and I've had a gazillion contacts with covid, but I usually wear more protective gear than Darth Vader. They almost refused to see my dog over my response. I am also losing what little faith in humanity I had left. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touching your mask on the outside followed by putting your fingers in your face is an indicator for an IQ below 80 in my book. Borderline retarded. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Also I was filling out my paperwork and didn't have my phone. These other 2 bozos had their phones in their face. I asked several times if either of them could tell me the date. They either ignored me, or were so unaware of anything other than their screens (and noses) that neither one even glanced up. I guessed at the date. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted January 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2021 I was at the VA Tuesday. The watchdog at the entrance asked me if I was experiencing any symptoms. I said, “Of what?” She was not amused. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm answering customer questionnaires for on-site access, I usually end up mentioning, to be honest, that I've been through ATL airport ten times in the last month. They always say something, like "But you don't know if anyone actually had it?" "No." In like Flynn. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I get to go to doctors regularly, and I've found that the "gatekeepers" get way more excited about all the Chinavirus questions than the docs and nurses do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duluth Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I get annoyed by people who come into my business and pull theirs masks down to lick their thumb to count their money. The licking of the thumb thing has always been a pet peeve of mine. I feel like spitting on their change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tadbart Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Try calling 911. When you have important **** to relay, and the dispatcher presses on with the stupid ******* covid questions. Disclaimer- Mrs Bart was a 911 dispatcher for years, and is currently in nursing school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
