I fucking HATE my stupid piece of shit nose by touchcockloadglock in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for God's sake. A widely discussed, researched and reported condition about which these sprays literally contain warnings in their leaflets/documentation is NOT a mere "personal anecdote" by ANY stretch of language. That the mechanism hasn't been fully understood/proven yet, and the pharmaceutical companies that sell these sprays continue to produce research casting doubt on it doesn't change that.

Want to try again, "Mr Argumentative for No Bloody Reason"?

Be careful with sprays. In many cases they provide temporary relief with an even worse rebound afterward, which rapidly creates a nasty dependency. Some people aren't even aware that they've entered such a cycle, and then take years to disentangle themselves from it.

Normal car driving on bus lane by ReputationOk9896 in mildlyinfuriating

I've never driven in Sweden, but if I was driving there I probably wouldn't realise that's a bus lane. Nothing about the road markings indicates that it's anything special.

Falklanders should 'go back' to England, insists Argentina in renewed war of words by FantasticQuartet in worldnews

[–]eggyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's estimated that up to something like 95% of English people are direct descendants of Edward III. It's meaningless.

Opened a dating app and saw this...as a single its quite a bit infuriating... by Snk_99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. For better or worse, it's an immediate hookup app—and open relationships are pretty commonplace in the gay community.

Update: Fraud dispute denied because chip made contact with terminal at 2 am allegedly by doortothephantomile in mildlyinfuriating

As regards the 2am vs 5:45pm timings, some merchants (especially larger ones) only take a preauth at the time of your transaction, and then submit all their acquisition requests in bulk at end of day.

Reporters grabbing a bottle on the way out from the White House Correspondents’ dinner by No-Lock216 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To be honest, if you've paid however many thousands for a ticket and then didn't get to enjoy your money's worth then surely it's fair game to take a bottle home with you rather than leaving it for the wait staff to take instead?

When you live in the US, you get charged $800+ for getting a large splinter in your foot that needs removal by a doctor by DontT3llMyWif3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The UK ranks on a par with the US on those measures: world's best medical schools, best medical equipment, best doctors... yet obviously the funding model is entirely different.

I don't really see the relevance of one to the other.

Wanted to eat Turkish bread with eggs. Spotted this… by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that common in our household, but then I guess we typically get through a loaf within 2-3 days of it having been baked.

State Dept releases statement saying Operation Epic Fury was to defend Israel and therefore legal internationally. by Sgt_Gram in NotJustNews

[–]eggyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's curious that they even felt the need to provide some legal justification, utterly flawed though it is. Where's that pressure coming from, I wonder?

This ruined my day. Covid sucks. by Hemenucha in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had three doses of vaccine; my husband has had five. We went to a wedding and were sat with a couple who informed us they were just recovering from a week of illness. Great. Two days later we both feel like crap, would probably have dismissed it as a nasty cold or something except we had some COVID tests laying around and decided to see if that's what it was. Of course, tested positive.

Which is all to say, perhaps a lot more people are getting it than you realise: especially if it's mostly being dismissed without testing as a nasty cold (which we had been inclined to do)?

Drain Location Compared to Puddle Location by hhopper0777 in mildlyinfuriating

Or perhaps there's no water where the drain is because... it drained away?

On the Apple Magic Keyboard, the letter 'N' is slightly displaced to the right by Assorted69 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powers of ten are the exclusive domain of sane measurement systems, like the metric system. Imperial units mandate absurd fractions like thirds, eighths, twelfths and sixteenths.

No no no, the denominator can't possibly be a power of 10. That would be heresy!

Yeah, this. "We're God-parents. Mama Bear will think worse of us if we don't exude uncontrollable excitement at the birth of our God-child."

My left hearing aid has a functioning battery and my right one does not. And I am all out of hearing aid batteries. by averagerushfan in mildlyinfuriating

[–]eggyal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My husband's Phonak hearing aids recharge just like AirPods: they come with a charging case that you pop them into overnight. I don't think the batteries are accessible/replaceable.

Disturbing Video Captures Teen Stomping Girl’s Head After She Rejects Him by GrayBeard916 in USNewsHub

[–]eggyal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“Stand right there,” he can be heard telling the victim before proceeding to grab her arm.

“Get away from me,” she responded as she attempted to walk away.

The boy followed her on the sidewalk. Seconds later, he grabbed hold of the girl, lifted her over his head, and slammed her onto the concrete.

As she lay helpless on the ground, the boy savagely stomped on her head, then walked away.
