My morning experiences
I go to the gyno for my annual exam. I love my ob-gyn and her nurses, but today I get a new nurse. She was weird. First she says that my hair looks nice and healthy and then she actually touches it
. Then she says, but you probably need to get your ends trimmed. Um, thanks. I came to get my vag looked at not for a beauty consultation.
Before I got pregnant, I was on the same pill prescription since I was 18. I am now finally going back on the pill and I am trying Seasonique. I am truly paranoid about only having 4 periods a year. Yes I am sure you all wanted to know about my birth control options.
Next I go to the post office. A lady holds up the line because get this...She swears the nutcracker stamps that she bought at the other post office are smaller than the nutcracker stamps at my post office and she wants to exchange them. The postal worker nicely tells her that they are the same size and offers to show the lady. The lady snaps on her and says "I know they are bigger I don't need to see them. Just exchange them." The postal worker shows her on the receipt where it says the stamps are nonrefundable / nonexchangeable. The woman is pissed. They do a staring contest and the postal worker says again I am not sure what you want me to do the manager is in a meeting. This batshitcrazy lady actually wanted her to get him out of a meeting to discuss this issue. 
Meanwhile the line now has about 15 people in it. I have never looked at the postage on any package sent to me. It really is not that serious. I do believe Christmas brings out the worst in some people.
Re: My morning experiences
Ditto this but add slapping her hand away from me.
That's... weird. I'm sure she was just trying to be personable or whatever, but that's just weird.
I do enjoy your stories. ?
I probably would have made a joke about the lady at the counter rather loudly to the person in front of me in line, but I'm passive-aggressive like that sometimes.
I'm actually about the Seasonale. Seasonique has caused some weird side effects in some people, so my gynecological oncologist told me to stick with Seasonale (and to stay FAR FAR away from the generic).
