Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

I am vaping today after a gap of 5 days. My non-erupting wisdom tooth was giving me a lot of trouble. I had a swollen jaw and I was not able to open my mouth. The dentist suggested pulling it off which I am terrified of, so I decided to go on a course of antibiotics and pain-killers. This route was working for me for almost 8 years but I guess with progressing age your body doesn't function as effectively as it used to so had to take the decision of pulling it out.
Now this is the calculation I dint understand about hospitalization cost :
- do it with medical aid- 25000 where you have to pay an excess of R5500
- do it without medical aid R5000 for the hospital and R5000 for the doctor ?
- do it on a chair R1000 but my Insurance won't cover it because I only have hospital cover.
I dint have R5500 lying around to pay for the excess. Also I might as well book a ticket to India for R6000 and get operated there for R2000. This way I get to run away from my wife and have my mummy take care of me for a week :blush: and then party with friends for the next few days.
The pain was unbearable and the dentist was quite reassuring and confident that I won't feel a thing. Also I remembered @RainstormZA and @DaveH saying that it's not that bad so I decided to go for it. Long story short I hate both of you and my dentist :-D:p
The procedure was done yesterday, I feel the pain only when the pain-killers wear off. Also I took advantage of this situation and told my wife that I am supposed to be on liquids only for the next few days, so I am on a diet of yogurt, custard and icecream :aplastao:the only solds I am eating is cake, cheesecake, milk tart and pudding.

Yeah now I got payback - went to a new dentist yesterday after months with a sensitive tooth pain that kept coming and going. Surprisingly no swelling or anything whatsoever. Did xrays and checked my teeth over. Only two that were urgently needed to be attended to - the one with the filling that fell out and the sensitive one - turns out the sensitive one had an abscess in it and so he cleaned it out and put temporary fillings until I can get to my NHS dentist to register at the end of November. Even the medical system here can suck but if you really are prepared to find a place that is taking on NHS registered patients, it is really worth it in the end because the medical care they provide is far much better than in SA's government medical system. Even the waiting to see a doctor is just under an hour, more or less.

In the overall, I may just have all my teeth pulled out and get dentures fitted because in the last 2 / 3 years in dental care, I have had more problems than I should have - now I am starting to believe that my previous dentist doesn't know what they are doing because generally rebuild teeth are really a bad idea long term. Even the alternative options are not cheap either, specially for implants and crowns but dentures they usually last you a good long time, unless you break something.
 
So today i tried to climb on top of a pool round tube, with a glass of wine and my vape setup, wanting to relax and float around the pool.
Didnt work out as i wanted, i see now why the tube package said under 50kg. I immediate flipped over, wine flying and 1 mod drowning.

Was still bloody funny though. Even if i had to go out and buy a new mod

Hope the new one is a Aegis? :D

Welcome to the club of .............. "I had my wisdom tooth out in the chair"
It is a bit painfull afterwards but the pain-killers should work, and then no more pain and discomfort.

Even in hospital it is still painfull afterwards - seems no escape from that part.

Well done :applaudit:
 
One shouldn't let the small things throw us, but it's these small things which do just that.

I was fine until I went to get take-aways for the gardener's lunch. Russian and chips. Out of stock of Russians. OK, make it a hamburger then. Out of stock of beef. WTF?? A take-away shop that can't supply Russians or hamburgers?????

He reckons it's not his fault that supplies are being delivered tomorrow. This is not the first time that he's been out of stock of essentials - and it's never his fault. How about a crash-course in stock management?

EDIT: And then he complains that things are quiet. I'm not surprised!!

So off I go to Spar, where they often have hamburgers at the Hot Food section. Can't see any. I ask the woman behind the counter if they've got any hamburgers. She doesn't understand the question. WFT??

WTF moment.jpg and two in one day is just too much!!

Ah LOL. I had the same issue at work in the kitchen and guess what? One weekend, someone finished all the pork bangers (that we use for the breakfast orders). Come Monday morning, one of the cooks that I work with said to me why did someone not organise any sausages over the weekend or something. We both were really shocked because we normally don't run out of the basic ingredients needed for most of the menu orders. I said yeah well I often run out of potatoes and no one tells management that we need more. So it has become some part of my responsibility to make sure we have enough stock every week and that now there is always potatoes to peel and cut into chips. I even told her about the potato predicament when we ran out and now I make sure that I have at least 2 x 50kg bags left before I tell my cousin that we need more soonest.

And the saga continues ... I went to the take-away shop again today (there's only one here), to get a hamburger. The owner nods his head and goes to the back. I breathe a sigh of relief - short-lived. Back he comes, "I don't have any patties. My lady was supposed to make some on Saturday but she didn't."

When he sees the expression on my face he says, Ït's not my fault." I go into a rapid decline.

So off I go to Boeretroos coffee shop, thinking I'll have a pizza. Afrikaans menu only. They're "busy translating it" they say. They said that a few months ago. I'm not going to sit there trying to decipher pizza toppings in Afrikaans (I can speak/understand Afrikaans, but only in general conversation) , so off to Spar again - my saving grace.

What is sorely needed in this little town is competition. Maybe then people will jack themselves up.
 
Can someone please explain to me why kids always decide to have a chat when you are taking a dump
 
Hold on to your underwear, it’s going to get rough. First Tornado warning I’ve ever seen, and then clip of the KZN one. Our climate is taking revenge for what we’re doing to it.
Scary stuff is happening! All the rain of late and now this! Took me a while to realize what i was looking at.
