Evil….EEEEVIL I tell ya!
Hygienists are EVIL!!!
This little kitteh had to go in for her 6 month fang sharpening cleaning appointment this morning.
Now, I’m extremely fastidious about my teeth, so it’s usually a “in and out” kind of deal. Hardly any scraping involved.
BUT — my hygienist has been going through some “personal drama” the last year and a 1/2 and now she uses my cleaning appointments as HER opportunity to vent. Why? Because I’m a captive audience! I can’t go anywhere because she has her fingers and instruments halfway down my throat!
Oh..for…the…love…of……!!!!!!
She should be paying *ME* for having to sit there and listen to her whine, bitch and moan about her husband.
Whom, I’d like to point out, she married after only knowing for 3 months! Of course there are going to be problems! Hello?? You barely KNEW the guy! Oh, and she is “ultra-religious” so of course she waited until they were married before having sex and, well…..I’m sure you see the problems inherent there!
This is the same lady who, while I was dating back in January, told me that SHE recommends AT LEAST 30 dates before you do anything so intimate as …. kissing.. yeah….kissing! Yeesh.
No wonder she’s got issues.
She asked me about Ranger, what he did for a living, etc…and when she found out he was a cop — oh good lord!! She began lecturing me on the foibles of dating a police officer because her husband USED to be a Sheriff’s Deputy and he’s just awful about being controling and has violence issues and that if Ranger and I ever broke up he would have the law on his side if he wanted to do bad things to me, and that he has friends that I don’t even know about that could do things to me that would never be traced back to Ranger….
HOLY CRAP!
My hygienist has some *SERIOUS* issues!!
(don’t ya think?)
Oh, and one last little rant about the psycho who cleans my teeth….I never, repeat NEVER, let her floss my teeth. Why? Because she f*ng hurts me when she does it and then when I tell her she’s hurting me she informs me that I must be doing it wrong at home!!
Uhhh…no bitch…I do it just fine (as my periodontal readings will prove) it’s just that I know not to SHOVE the floss with the force of a Mack Truck between teeth that have tight contact. Turns out, when you shove that hard, the floss will actually *gouge* into your gums when you pass the contact point. Bitch!!!
grrrrrrrrr……hisssssss……phhhhhtttt……!
I need a Mojito!!

You are NOT instilling confidence in me… I need to schedule a dentist appointment very soon. Normally, I do not fear the dentist, but seeing as I haven’t actually been to one in, oh, 19 years, I imagine I’m in for a little pain. Please don’t let you hygenist transfer to my town anytime soon!
Perhaps if I had a mojito BEFORE I went….
Sounds to me like you need a new hygenist…
i don’t have hygienist issues …. but i’ll take a mojito!! let’s go!!
Time for a new hygenist, me thinks.
I would actually complain about her – that is WAY inappropriate.
I think you are only allowed to bitch when you are the customer, unless of course you are asked to vent with the customer (but again keeping it to a minimum). On the other hand, someone has to talk and since it can’t be you (mouth full) . . .
So need a new hygenist. Or maybe you should encourage her to quit her job and write a crime novel. She can seriously work up a scary story out of nothing. Crap! I agree with make a complaint. She’s totally out of line.
Oh I’m SO glad someone else is with me on the whole “flossing shouldn’t hurt” thing – my hygentist says the same thing as well! Drive me nuts!!
And you should have told her that you have a bunch of Blog friends who Ranger doesn’t know about and who could converge down there and take their PMS out on Ranger in nasty, unspeakable ways should he ever be bad…
But Ranger’s a sweetie, so he shouldn’t be scared of us… *evil grin*
I’d say you need a new hygienist, that’s what you need ! I would so tell her to shut up, I did once at a massage therapist who wouldn’t stop talking. I went there to relax not to hear her talk, so I told her. And YOU are TOTALLY right, flossing if done right & regularly should NOT hurt. Yep, time to find a new one!
I HATE hygenists. They always hurt me when I go. Do they all have issues, I wonder?
Girl…your hygenist does have issues! And you are stuck because she has you in an ackward position. Sounds like her 30 day rule didn’t work out that well for her marriage!
If it makes you feel better…I love my hygenist but she has major issues as well. During my first cleaning she told me that she was into S&M and that she enjoyed “pony play!” So not sure which is better to have working on your teeth!
Well if she is hurting you, get a different hygienist. Beyond that, my pet peeve is people like that thinking you want to talk.
I love talking to the person who cuts my hair, and most of my doctors. (I rarely go so its catchup on the family time when I do) but if its all negative, pretend to cough so you can talk and then day, “I really don’t feel up to discussing this today.” Don’t you just love people who need to tell you the negative. “Now you need to do this because of this.” I’m sick of people’s unwanted advice. Sick I say.
Those chicks scare me…and I aint easy to scare! They seem to enjoy your pain too much!!~~Dee
Sayre — Girl, if you haven’t been in 19 years then YEAH, you are in for a world of suffering! Sorry…there’s no way around it! But the good news is that they have lidocaine for things like that AND a Mojito BEFORE your appointment is *never* a bad idea!
Sarah — I know, right? But it’s a small community, kind of like the hygienist “mafia” and I’m afraid to ask for a new one!
that girl — SUH-WEET! I’ve found that the prepackaged Bacardi Pomegranate Mojito’s are pretty tasty! Shall we?
Finn — but…but…if I ask for a new one, don’t you think they will swap tales and the new girl will torture me too? Solidarity and all that?
Princess — I thought about it, but she NEVER leaves me alone with the dentist (her boss)..I think she does that on purpose!
Heidi — what kind of advice is that?? ha..ha.ha..
OS — ha..ha.ha.. yeah, she’s definitely a wee bit on the “deep end” of the story telling, huh?
Randi — NO SHIT I SWEAR!!! Trust me, I defended Ranger but, just like all the other religious fanatics, she already had her mind made up and had him hammered into a mold.
stinkypaw — OMG! I totally get you. I HATE it when the massage therapist just babbles and babbles. I mean, ask me or comment on my tattoo, that’s fine, but after that – SHUT UP!!
tighet — the sad part is that I’m actually a GREAT dental patient. I don’t mind getting shots or my teeth cleaned, etc..but this chick has actually hurt me enough that I DREAD going to see her. isn’t that awful?
Sheila — the thing is that *I’M* not talking..it’s just HER babbling about everything. All I can do is gurgle and spit.
sexywhispers — I really have to wonder! I mean, seriously, I think her treatment of me went downhill when her personal life started hitting the toilet. What an AWFUL side affect!!
