I have terrible teeth. The ones at the front are okay, but my molars are a disaster. They've been giving me trouble for about ten years. At this point they're literally falling apart.
About a year ago, I decided to start saving up to get implants. It's a big job, and expensive, but I just don't want to deal with them anymore. Replacing them with fake teeth that will last until I'm dead is a great alternative.
So I went to the dentist to get them removed, and he won't do it. He says they can be repaired and that I just need to book 12 appointments to have a root canal, a bunch of crowns put on, and a filling. I know full well that these god-damn things are going to start falling apart again as soon as he's done.
For some reason he refuses to contemplate removing them. I'm going to have to travel to a different country now to have the work done because the dentist at the end of my road is too much of a fucking pussy to do it.
This one really gets me: commuting by car is such an inefficient way of getting around that every major radio station feels obliged to constantly update their listeners about how gridlocked the roads are.
Not one mention is given to alternative transport options that might actually help reduce traffic. They just treat it like a weather forecast. Nothing can be done to prevent it. It's worth saying that radio is still really popular where I live, so it's a daily reminder for me of how deeply fucking carbrained my culture has become.
