Peeved.

I have seen many posts over the last couple months about things that just rub you the wrong way and annoy you like no other. Last night or this morning, however you look at it I came to the realization of what exactly makes me want to kick puppies.

Tape. Little dirty pieces of tape. Stuck to doors, rails, seats, everything. It's gross watching the edges slowly turn greyish brown and finally mutating into black.

I am just as guilty as anyone about sticking pieces of tape to the edge of the counter, to the rail of the cot really, wherever I can put it where it is within reach to secure IVs. But when I'm all done, every last piece gets taken off and tossed in the trash.

I'm not sure why it sends me into a fit, but it does. I even go as far as to pick it off of any surface my hand lands on - bank counters, grocery carts, bay doors... everything. So please, for the love of cheese, for the sake of my sanity clean up your tape!

I agree! It's irritating to get in an ambulance on your shift and see tape hanging everywhere like it's a party with streamers.

I totally agree with you - and I am one of those tape scrapers cause it drives me nuts - and the worst offenders are the pieces with blood on them that are left on cribs and baby tables!

I hate it when my favorite person on the internet doesn't do a post for like...a month.
