In reading the posts on all nurses over a decade since I've been a member I've noticed that there are distinct styles. Some have posts or questions which are short, sweet, and to the point. These types of posters use paragraphs with a cadence which is easily read. Others will type long run on sentences using no commas paragraphs or other types of pauses and it's almost like what we in psych call push of speech where an extremely long statement is made in one breath like they're hyperverbal and loquacious and I guess it's because they're trying to type as fast as they have thoughts but I really don't know I can only surmise which means guess you know? Some posters find it necessary (and I am guilty of the same thing) of using parentheses instead of adjectives to (aforementionly) describe the thing (or situation or person or whatever). I can understand the use of parentheses (sometimes), however I believe (and this is only MHO) parentheses should be used sparingly like the first time I type Wrongway Regional Medical Center, I will thereafter just type (WRMC) without the parentheses except right after I type Wrongway Regional Medical Center (WRMC) < like that. Speaking of parentheses (and I know this is a long post, so please excuse me), sometimes posters will give a nurse or a patient or a nurse, doctor, ect. (not electroconvulsive therapy but Latin for "and so on") and then say right after they give the name (not their real name) like we're some sort of HIPAA Head Hunters and we're going to track down that patient, nurse or doctor ect. and say, "This member who's name I really don't know, but goes by Davey Do said your name on a post and I think that that's a HIPAA violation so I think he should get in trouble, don't you?" And what's this thing about asking questions? Why can't members just answer the OP on the information given instead of being like some sort of interrogator and drill (or grill, I get those two mixed up, like the Aztec's and the Inca's) them for the answers. It's like their not expecting some sort of Spanish Inquisition (I know- no one expects a Spanish Inquisition) and being run over by a bus, or thrown under a bus like some of my coworkers have done to me! And I'm not being a victim here even though everyone bullies me and I try my best not to wear my Little Lamb Perfume Scent #5 when I go to work on the Pack of Wolves unit (that's what we call the unit where all the older nurses work). Does anybody else have this problem?
I got kicked by a woman today for laughing at her while helping her out.
I saw this woman stopped by the side of the road, so I stopped to help her. She had jacked up the car and taken off the tyre and then was trying to put air into the tyre using a small compressor. She said that if she had tried putting the air in with the tyre on the car, the weight of the car would have forced the air out and broken the mini compressor!
I just had to stare at her and it must be me because she kicked me and told me to put the air into the tyre and put the tyre back onto the car. I have never met this woman before and she kicked me and was ordering me about!
Seriously, why are women so full of themselves? How could I not stare? Who takes a tyre of a car so they can put air in? How does a woman just know who they can bully?

Are you judging half the world's population by the actions of one caustic dingbat? Over the years, I've entertained some very uncharitable thoughts about the other half. I'll leave it at that.
Didn't some guy by the name of Curious state something in another thread about being attracted to all females, no matter what?
I thought maybe this situation was a set-up for some sort of lucrative S&M relationship.
My apologies to TriciaJ and klone.
Curious, you're a cad.
I think you are generalizing to make a point Davey. I draw the line at irrational people as they tend to react irrationally! She was considerably older than I was and it would be an incredibly strange place to make a move on someone, even for me.
