A question for everyone here—do you deal with much noise in your neighborhood, and if so, how do you actually handle it?

What kind of noise are we talking about?😁

I’m fine with doctors—they know their stuff—but when it comes to the rest of the medical staff as a whole? Not so much. And about that comment regarding manicures... I’ll say it again, women 😉 😁
...

Honestly, seeing some lady with a perfect manicure calling in a pizza order while there’s a line of twenty people waiting at the counter... it just gets under my skin. It’s hard to stay indifferent to that kind of entitlement.

And if she were unkempt or just looked like she didn't care about herself, maybe I could find it easier to forgive the rudeness? Women 😁

verica said:No, I’m not in the industry—and I haven't been lucky enough to encounter nothing but friendly faces either. Honestly, I’m just over here trying to make sense of everyone...

Verica, you’re an incredibly optimistic patient. People like you are rare—those who actually try to see both sides and understand them. Unfortunately, the negative perspectives always seem more magnetic to the masses... which explains why you don't see threads dedicated to how great someone's experience was with their doctors.
Bad news is always more interesting. Sadly...

If you’ve been waking up at the exact same time every day—give or take ten minutes—there’s a simple reason for it. It’s habit. Habit is a powerful thing...

hollowtrucker77 said:well, no...
he's just imagining things
😁
if I really had to, I’d sink low enough that even a cannibal in the middle of the jungle would think twice about coming near me

Is the guy even worth it? Personally, nobody is worth me getting down in the mud for. You can always teach someone a lesson without losing your dignity...

hollowtrucker77 said:,
otherwise, he might just learn some manners from someone who's completely rude and uncivilized...
😎

He doesn't need any lessons—he's already got plenty of that 😁

Jeffrey Edwards5 said:So if she’d just told him, "Listen, without my anatomy, you wouldn't even need that accreditation in the first place," he’d be filing a lawsuit for defamation right now, wouldn't he?

😁 👍...or maybe, "If it weren't for my damn lady parts, you wouldn't even have an income to begin with." 😳

Betty Bennett10 said:Good grief, what am I actually supposed to write when I edit a post? I just put "PARDON," but apparently that doesn't cut it... Guess I’ll have to go dig through the forum rules again. 😛

The guy is just raw material 😁—everyone knows that. Personally, whenever I'm losing my cool, I just start chanting "ooooommm."

So basically, you're over here meditating while rustymoose54 is just sitting there eating chocolate... 🙂

hollowtrucker77 said:So, he just grunted at her and that's supposed to count as "behavior"?... I don't know. It feels like we're lowering the bar every single day...
😁
I can't help but picture how it would feel if someone treated my girlfriend—or my wife—that way...
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... hgrr... 😠
I truly believe that "Mr. Doctor" would actually apologize... if he had any sense left in him.
😉

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. It’s not like I usually find myself getting physical... or looking for an excuse to... 😁 I think I mentioned this once before over on RiD—but look, I have my own ways of handling things that don't involve getting physical...

electricdriver78, you're a dangerous one... 😲

rustymoose54 said:No, I wasn't talking about READING, I meant actually QUOTING something.

Reading is obviously a given, but when people drop these massive walls of text quoting news articles... I usually just skip over the OP's actual opinion. My bad.

Double fail on my part—I didn't read it properly, nor did I quote anything (which might have saved me from the first mistake)... I think I'll head out before I embarrass myself any further. 😳>

rustymoose54 said:Megan Morales5, Betty Bennett10 was actually referring to Adam Wells5 and boldeagle3. It wouldn't hurt to quote the posts we're actually discussing...

Yeah, it really wouldn't hurt if we all quoted the posts we're responding to 😉
Fine, Betty Bennett10, point taken. Of course, you can't judge a doctor's actual expertise based solely on that one comment—all it proves is that the guy has zero manners...

Betty Bennett10 said:Two out of five.

My mistake—four out of five! 😎

If you’re counting me in that two percent, you've got it wrong... I was talking about a certain breed of man, not the profession itself.

rustymoose54 said:idiot

anyway, did it ever cross his mind that the patient might actually be more educated than he is? 🙂 😱

good on her for reporting him...

Exactly. He's probably just one of those types who assumes, from the jump, that a woman can't possibly be more educated than he is. Personally, I think she did the right thing by filing that report.
I'm trying to wrap my head around just HOW much someone would have to push my buttons to trigger a reaction like that—honestly, I can't even imagine what could have caused it...

Hannah Davis18 said:There’s no such thing as a free lunch; it all comes down to what you can actually deliver and how hard you're willing to grind.

I can push pretty hard when I need to—I try to focus my energy on things I actually excel at, because anything else feels like a massive waste of time... I'd much rather go hard in the morning and then just decompress in the evening. Everything before this was just playing around. (The dream is to eventually hit a point where I can work, say, from 7:00 AM to noon at full throttle, leaving the rest of the day for myself, my family, and my hobbies). But yeah, I'll probably be waiting a few years before I actually reach that stage...😉

Hannah Davis18 said:I’d say to my own delight.😉

To your delight, obviously... 😁 (come on, spill the secret—if I’m going to dive into those waters too, there’s gotta be a trick to it, right?😉 )

steelsailor17 said:You have to adjust your bedtime so you naturally wake up right before your alarm goes off.
Basically, you need to hit the sack earlier every single night until you find that sweet spot... a natural equilibrium.
It’s completely wrong—though unfortunately pretty common—to try and cheat your sleep schedule.
That just leads to bad moods, brain fog, mistakes, irritability, aggression, total burnout.....

I’m with you there. I mostly wake up without an alarm anyway. That’s usually my cue that I’ve actually gotten enough rest.
Hannah Davis18, thanks for the input, but that kind of flexibility is really something only freelancers or business owners get to enjoy...

driftingbison5 said:And what about the people who actually work and can't just sleep in all morning? Why does it seem like everyone chiming in here is some college student?

I work a lot and still get enough sleep—I’m up early. >, are you working part-time or just staying up way too late...

stiven said:Ten hours is the sweet spot.

Maybe for you. Personally, if I sleep ten hours, I just wake up feeling like a crumpled piece of paper—my whole day is basically trashed... that "overslept" feeling is the worst. I usually stick to about seven hours during the week, maybe nine on the weekends if I'm lucky. That’s plenty for me.
