Women with Mustaches

As a woman sat in the waiting room with a full blown goatee (seriously, I'm pretty sure she trimmed the damn thing) I began to wonder why the hell don't these women do something about their upper lips. We live in a day and age with waxing, laser hair removal, and if you want to go old school you could just shave the damn thing.



Now I'm not talking about the old women who get a random hair here or there, I'm talking about the ladies that can manage to grow a full blown mustache. If you have a vagina and look like Ned Flanders you really need to learn to wake up 5 minutes early every day and add shaving to your morning routine.



Imagine this with saggy boobs and you get the idea.

I know you might not be one of these women, but you might know one. If you do happen to have a mustached female in your life do her a favor, for the love of god, say something to her about it. Yeah, you might "hurt her feelings" or "offend her" but really you're doing her a favor. Nobody in their right minds wants to see a woman with more facial hair than themsleves.

Why did noone tell me of this?

Seriously, why was I not told that I could order the greatest mass produced cookies ever made delivered directly to my door in groups of six? You have all failed as my readers, I expected better of you.

Things I've seen in a pharmacy drive-thru part 2

Working at a pharmacy (as I have a tendency to do) and one of my technicians goes to wait on the car that has pulled up to the drive through. She walked away from the drive through because, apparently, the couple in the car was in the middle of an argument and he was yelling and the girl was crying. So we decided to give them a little cooling off period to get their shit together.

After a few minutes curiosity got the better of me and I had to wait on them, I had to. The fight was over, actually on pause, they were in that period after a fight where one of them is pissed off and not saying anything and the other one has just finished crying their eyes out (why am I always the one that cries?) and what do you think they wanted to buy? Go ahead and guess, I'll wait.........for those of you that said Plan B give yourself a gold star. Guess we can somewhat infer what they were arguing about.

Things people tell their pharmacist

One of my recent consultations involved a man who had recently started Lupron for prostate cancer. His first question about it was a legitimate concern, he was having trouble getting an erection. This can happen with Lupron and I told him so.

His next question I'm pretty sure wasn't covered in class, he asked if it could make his penis shrink. Now, I'll be the first to admit I wasn't the best student in the world, but I can guarantee that I would remember if that was a side effect of any medication. Hell, I would remember this just for the simple fact that I would never want to take that medication. I don't care what it was for. It could be the drug that would prevent me from crapping my insides out of my ass and I still wouldn't take it.

Well it's been a good ride

Apparently the world ends today.

Hell, they have graphs and everything



and, really, who can argue with graphs.

The People who buy Plan B

For those of you who don't know plan B now comes as a single tablet. I guess the makers figured that if you weren't responsible enough to wear a condom, or use birth control pills in the first place, you aren't responsible enough to remember to take the second tablet the next day.

The thing that makes plan B so awesome from a pharmacy perspective is that in order to buy it you have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter. This leads to some very interesting incidents. And this is beyond the knowledge that if you hit on the girl at least she puts out.

The first plan B I ever sold to someone was actually to a couple. What made it awesome is that the girl made her boyfriend pay for it. Which is funny on many levels, not the least of which is that you know who it was that wanted to get freaky the night before.

The pharmacy that I interned at is in a small town and another couple came through the drive thru in order to buy a pack of plan B. The technician that waited on them not only knew the guy driving, she also knew his parents, went to the same church as his family and he dated her daughter a few years ago. If this isn't going to encourage the poor guy to use protection in the future I don't know what will. Forget all the scare tactics that are used to try and get kids to not have sex, just have something like this happen to them. The poor guy might not be able to get an erection again for the next several months.

I do have a rant on pharmacists that refuse to dispense plan B and other such medications I may post at some point in the future when I've had a bit more to drink.
