Reminds me of that Flyers - Pens goal with Vokoun in net when there was one player falling down after another

Got to love service fees. A PGA ticket fee, a seatgeek service fee and a 10% town amusement fee...can't believe they still get away with all this nonsense. An additional $55 per ticket in fees

View attachment 1043040

What the f*** did SeatGeek do that's worth 20 dollars? Much less repeated 4 times for mythical reasons.

I wish I knew. The PGA partnered with SeatGeek, so the tickets had to be bought through them, and then both the PGA and SeatGeek each charge you a ticket fee. In what scam world does that make sense

 

[kudymen]

Yeah that reminds me thanks for posting that because I had to mention the "amusement tax" at work today at least 5 times because those words had me in tears. The F is that

Another bullshit tax where the town hosting the event gets their greedy paws in on the fun.

It's just the funniest combination of words (fun and tax) I've read all week

Wait a minute. How the f*** do they BOTH get off on charging a fee? What an elaborate scam.

I'm good with amusement taxes, actually. Large events like these do put a heavy burden on community resources and a lot of locales end up being lucky to break even, or barely see much benefit relative to the disruption and effort expended. It's also a great way to tax outsiders rather than your own people.

It's why I fully support building a casino in Tysons Corner near me. 1) Tysons is already a hellish and soulless shithole 2) it would be filled with Marylanders from Montgomery County and Frederick County losing their money since it's way closer than WVA or the MD options. I'm all for bleeding the outside visitors to subsidize my shit. And I recognize the right of other places to do that to me, that's only fair.

I think Hawaii is tampering with putting that kind of tax on hotel rooms, to subsidize maintenance of beaches and parks. Hell yeah.

My wife grew up a few miles from Tysons Corner. Hellish and soulless shithole is a perfect description.

It really is a great question that unfortunately, we'll never know the answer to because they're all in on the scam together. The fact that they parented with them and then both charge a fee should be criminal

Hey everyone, I'm gonna give you all a life pro-tip.


If a dentist asks if you want to be numbed, then yes. You want to be numbed.

I've got a cracked molar that was being glued back together today. part of this involved drilling out the crack and filling it. Well, at first we thought the crack might be shallow. So Novocain was optional. And I, Beef Invictus, moron, said "nah." I tell you what...that sucked ass. A few minutes passed and she stopped and said "I'm going to numb you. I can see you twitching. And, we have to go deeper."

Then she scolded me for not lifting my left hand to stop the process if I was "enduring" anything, as I'd been instructed to do. I grew up with the dentist from Marathon Man, though, so my idea of "enduring" in dentistry means "I can't stop myself from screaming."

New policy for me: Always accept numbing. I don't care the situation now. I could be ordering a hoagie at WaWa, if they ask if I'd like to be numbed I'm saying YES before they finish.

The only questions we have are:

1. Is she hot?

2. Did she stick her bewbs in yer face?

I’ve gotten stitches twice outside of dental reasons. First time they numbed me. f***ing he’ll the numbing was brutal. Second time they said they just have a few to do, “great, skip the numbing bullshit and get it done.”

I agree with this. I have a bad gag reflex so I get numbed for x-rays.

I've got a friend who was always damaging himself as a kid. Once he gashed his head open, and it needed to be stitched together. His dad's a doctor, so he took care of it.

My friend was terrified of getting stitches. His dad assured him it had to happen, and that it would be over before he knew it; he gave him a stitching needle and say "ok, hold this for me." He then stitched Friend's head shut as he stared at the needle in horror, not even noticing. He was surprised when his dad announced he was finished, and asked for the needle back.

Edit: wait was your stitched on the hand or fingers? I've heard that sucks ass.

My gag reflex is almost that bad. The xrays are definitely a chore for me, but manageable. My whole problem is that I stopped wearing my night guard because it would slowly start gagging me, so then I ground my teeth apart in my sleep.

 

[trostol]

I always gag on the xrays save the last time..different device that I just bit down on and the thing circled my head

I was cleaning out a fridge and had the neck of a beer bottle shatter in my hand when I went to open it. Drove myself to the hospital with it wrapped in a dish towel and shoved under my leg. 26 stitches on the non-thumb fingers. It was fine. No problems without numbing.

The problem for me was what a pain in the ass it was trying to keep the hand elevated. It felt like all the blood in my body was in 4 fingertips if it wasn’t above my head after ~30 seconds.

Wrist and fingers. The stitch is nothing. All you feel is sort of like a flossing feeling, but in a new hole in your skin.

Ripped open my wrist washing a coffee mug. Sponge inside, hand holding the handle, twisting cleaning motion and the handle separated from the mug cleanly sending the mug into the sink to shatter and my wrist to fly into the counter. My skin stopped by my arm kept going, tearing it open.
I stared at it for a minute, the inside of us is yellowish btw, put on a makeshift tourniquet, got dressed, went to give myself a ride to the hospital, locked the front door and toppled over headfirst down the stairs.
Neighbor drove me. Arrived at the hospital a little loopy, understanding but not able to form words for some reason. In take nurse thought I was shooting up because of the make shit tourniquet, more mature nurse scolded her for the good job I did.
Docs said I was loopy like that for a weird sudden change in blood pressure, that made me pass out, and it didn’t bounce back to normal for a while making it hard to form words.
My blood pressure eventually went back to normal, and I had them stitch it up without numbing it and went home.
I only found one drop of blood by my dresser when I decided that I wanted to go to the hospital in a different outfit for some reason. Nothing in the sink or on the counter or anywhere else.
