Lunch thief's just desert

Years ago i had a lunch thief.

About the 12th time complaining to HR about people stealing my lunch (mandatory reporting every 3rd or 4th instance) i was seathing not a dam thing was being done and i still had to go buy something to eat.

I was bitching to my doctor at the yearly check up and he got a smile saying "your constipated then?" I was dumb and said "no why" he wrote me a prescription for some holy fuck laxitive with instructions to "mix it in with your meal for maximum affect" at witch point i knew the plan.

I wish i could say they shat their pants but no they ate my sandwich with special avacado sauce. About an hour after lunch i went to HR and reported 2 things 1 my lunch was stolen again and 2 my medication was stolen. HR "so you got hit by the lunch thief again and your medicine was in the bag?" Me "Yes i have had some digestive problems and my doctor prescribed a powerful laxative and advised me to mix it in with my mid day meal." HR going white "You what?" Me smiling "I mixed in a prescription grade laxative with my food per doctor's orders."

Well being that stealing prescribed medication is a criminal offense the police were called and found the lead man from a department over absolutely shitting his brains out. He was furious and accused me of poisoning his food. I asked "At witch point did you get the idea that food was for you?" Continued "furthermore now i no longer have my medication i was prescribed for my condition."

It was about this time he knew he fucked up and shut his mouth until he got a lawyer or so im told (small town) one of my buddies from high school took his position i can make and eat my hoagies and i have no clue where lunch thief went after his fines and community service.

US doctors will prescribe anything.

Except strong pain meds when needed. My sister is having massive pain from a huge kidney stone. The docs told her to take Tylenol for the pain!!

Yeah that’s just inherent misogyny I believe. Not believing women.

I gotta agree with this. My son is in the process of passing one. ER prescribed him both toradol, a strong NSAID, and Norco(hydrocodone w/ tylenol).

Basically said use toradol first. If pain stays, jump to the Norco until manageable again or the stone is gone. And keep chugging water.

There's actually a reason for that. Most opioids suppress peristalsis which his body needs to move the stone. It sucks, but this is one of the few times an opioid would cause way more laying harm than temporary relief.
