[QUOTE="Clemenza, post: 1444171, member: 20895"] The other day I was on the verge of snapping also, however for the sake of my wife, and to not "spoil the moment", I had to keep my mouth shut and just follow along with some absurd protocol: We very recently found out that we are having a second child, my wife is about 7 weeks pregnant.. We went in to the doctor the other day, and saw and heard the heartbeat on the sonogram, which is a very cool experience. (side note: all these people that are unwavering in their support of widespread abortion need to have this experience... maybe it would wake them up to the atrocity that they support) Anyway, so a short story about what happened. Given the covid, the medical place does not allow anyone in except patients, with the exception of these sonograms, however they made it as inconvienent and uncomfortable as possible. Obviously they made me wear a mask, which I hate doing, but I felt that if there was any occasion I needed to suck it up for, this was it. What was more ridiculous was that I was not allowed to even enter the building until my wife was up on the table, pants down and with a sheet on, and with them with a finger on the switch to turn the sonogram on. So, despite them having a 'socially distanced' waiting room with chairs spread apart, everyone in masks, etc, since I was not a patient I had to wait OUTSIDE, in the cold, for 30 minutes. When the time finally came my WIFE had to be the one to text me from the examining table that it was time to come in. While I am out there waiting, an older woman coming out said it was such a shame what they were doing here, and absurd that I had to sit outside while everyone else sat "distanced" inside anyway. I guess I am supposed to "just shut up" and be thankful that they even LET me be there for this moment, but it was very, very hard to refrain from telling them exactly what I thought of this. Part of me is upset that I didn't say anything. But what would it have changed at this point? [/QUOTE]
