...because cross to be given back urine sample

[raindropsonroses]

at ante natal appointment.
I'm expected to tip out said sample and rinse for my next appointment as they don't give out new ones anymore...apparently.
Yuk!! I am not happy, but aibu?

YAB totally Unreasonable ... it's piss, it's your piss. Don't you have a toilet?

A plastic jug! Why didn't I think of that? I had a special piss pot in the bathroom but it wasn't much bigger than the little container and I had wet hands many a time. Why didn't I give Asda 99p for a big jug?

exactly Eyeballs exactly.

I like to think of myself as someone who can think outside the pot box, why did I never think of piss transference?

I did have an idea about using a funnel but then ditched it as being all too tricky holding 2 things, lining up, sitting down, peeing etc. I imagined some sort of catastrophic falling off episode and ambulances being called and hospital porters taking photos on their phones and selling them to the tabloids.

Sometimes I wonder how I got this far in life without having MN for 30 years of it.

You scared her off then, you 'orrible lot?!

I thought I was nice.

hecate how is your armpit problem today?

Yes, you were, as were others. She got a lack of sympathy and horror about the situation and I was just pissing about with me flippant comments.

I'm still poking it Couldn't go to gp today because I had to take my grandad to the hospital, but am planning on trying my luck tomorrow (very hard to get appt atm unless you bribe the receptionist with a muffin basket, or diamonds or a holiday in Bermuda or something...)

get away from the wall and tell me about your pustulous armpit woman

ahh xpost. Just go in and show the receptionist your pit. She will be repulsed and fall off her chair backwards and you will have time to nip over the counter and book yourself in.

Or I could just go into the surgery waiting room with my arm in the air and then they'd all run away, screaming, and I could go straight into the doctor's office..

i had to do this, our surgery don't give urine pots out at all now, we have to buy them from the pharmacy - 60p each i think

Yeah, I had one given back to me, too. Not asked to reuse it, though. Just told they couldn't be responsible for disposing of my pee! So weird, in my opinion. And re-using the pot, WTF? How could you ever get a clean specimen thereafter? They are taking the piss (pun intended).
