What's annoying you today?
Re: What's annoying you today?
Puking after Christmas dinner, while two of my nieces were listening outside my bathroom stall. And it's not like I had been drinking a lot (just a cocktail and a glass of wine). I think it was because I drank a tall glass of soda water too fast. Anyway, I thought my nieces hadn't noticed. They were funny and sweet about it
Re: What's annoying you today?
My toilet is leaking at the base. Not excessively, but there is some water coming out after the toilet is flushed. I tried tightening the bolt but water is still coming out. Anyway, waiting for the plumber.
Re: What's annoying you today?
That happened to me a few months ago; I am the most useless "man" as home repairs go....leaning towards a nuisance historically, but I went to YouTube and pulled a vid found it was likely a worn wax seal and fixed it myself. A month later I fixed my own washing machine too. Sucks....good luck with it.
Re: What's annoying you today?
The other day, I realized the air conditioning and the high lights of my car (we bought a car) were not working properly. I got the manual out and saw the fuses, and noticed they were all arranged incorrectly, per the manual. So I put them in their right place. The car wouldn't even start now. Got them all back where they were, and the radio stopped working. But the car did start, so I left it that way for a couple of days. Bought some fuses and decided to just try to place fuses randomly until the AC, high lights and radio all worked normally. I placed one fuse and the AC and high lights were now working. I pushed another fuse a bit deeper, and the radio came back.
I spent about 25 dollars buying around 30 fuses and I ended up using just one. That annoyed me a bit, but the upside was too good to get too annoyed by that.

I looked on youtube too, but didn't want to try removing the toilet myself.SR wrote:That happened to me a few months ago; I am the most useless "man" as home repairs go....leaning towards a nuisance historically, but I went to YouTube and pulled a vid found it was likely a worn wax seal and fixed it myself.

The plumber is here now. The problem is the gasket. It was a wax one and almost completely disintegrated.
Re: What's annoying you today?
Well, all's well that ends well....I was terrified I would find water damage to what was an unknown foundation under the toilet as I knew the tiles were cut to form a flush arc around the base. I didn't know if there would be any wood rot or any mildew or worse, mold. It all worked out.Artemis wrote:I looked on youtube too, but didn't want to try removing the toilet myself.SR wrote:That happened to me a few months ago; I am the most useless "man" as home repairs go....leaning towards a nuisance historically, but I went to YouTube and pulled a vid found it was likely a worn wax seal and fixed it myself.

Re: What's annoying you today?
People who don't do their jobs properly annoy me.
This morning I took my mother to a walk-in clinic to check about shingles. She had a rash on her back that was spreading around to her breast area and stomach. Normally, she would go to her own doctor but he doesn't work on Mondays. Anyway, the clinic wait time was under 30 minutes and the doctor did confirm that she has Shingles. He issued a couple of prescriptions for pain relief and an anti-viral, Valtrex. I took the prescription to the pharmacy to have it filled but the pharmacist wasn't able to proceed because one of the scripts was missing a signature and the other one was missing a code.
I'm still waiting because the clinic hasn't responded to the pharmacy about the missing info. What a waste of day.

Re: What's annoying you today?
I can say firsthand it's every bit as awkward, uncomfortable and downright painful as that illustration makes it out to be. Seriously, they should knock people the fuck out or at least give 'em a ball gag. They knock you out for ass probing, why not for penis-scoping?
Wanna know more? Sure ya do!
The procedure is done to look for issues inside the bladder and prostrate, like infections, stones and cancer. You're laid out naked on a table with a paper napkin on your crotch (what's the point?), no drugs or anesthesia. The urologist sticks this plastic syringe into your wanker and shoots up this supposedly antibacterial "numbing" jell (that burns like a motherfucker) then slowly shoves this 3 foot long flexible rod/camera right in there that's about the diameter of a small straw that's connected to a video screen. Then the fun really begins - he injects a load of sterile water to test your bladder pressure which then squirts back out all over my torso like a spouting whale. Then he takes a couple tiny "scrapings" of tissue samples for a lab to analyze from around the inside of the prostrate which hurt like nobody's business. About 15 minutes, and it's done.
The reason why this was done in the first place was about a month ago I started pissing blood. Not just kinda pinkish-tinged pee, but ruddy red blood, even small clots, like someone cut a small artery. That's usually a sign of a bladder infection (which I got a few times back in my teens when I swam a lot) or worse, kidney stones. Kidney stones scare the fuck outta me - I've known a few guys who've passed one and to a person they all say said it was by far the worst thing they'd ever experienced. But I wasn't in any real pain and no fever, which are classic symptoms of either issue. After a round of antibiotics did zip, I had an ultrasound and a full torso radioactive dye injection CT scan (which looks really cool) which at least ruled out stones. At this point, they're looking for internal injuries, prostrate issues and cancer. The cystoscopy was the last step.
Amusingly, about 5 days ago, I stopped pissing blood and yesterday when I had the cystoscopy, I was fine. After that, the rest of yesterday and to a lesser extent this morning, it was like pissing battery acid. As of now, they've ruled out kidney failure, stones and cancer, they're not sure wtf is going on.
What I understand, about 40%+ of men have this done at some point by the time they get to 50 for most of the reasons noted above, so boys, here's something to look forward to. Getting old sucks.
