E: are scrubs gendered? Cause the look equally unflattering and gender-neutral to me.

Generic scrubs are gender-neutral, but there are more attractive options available to people who feel the need to blow some cash to look good at work.

I�m utterly stuck in traffic but there�s a Dacia Duster with the war boys emblem front and back and a bull bar wrapped in exhaust wrap, so it�s all good.

Edit: I�ll try to position myself so I can throw him the V8 salute.

I think my coworker has a thing for me, considering that he kissed me while we were having a smoke break

I've never been the straightest arrow, but I've never been actually excited by a guy before :gay:

What, like wider labels or shoulder pads?

Or flame patterns? It's flame patterns, isn't it?

Don't get too flattered: he might just have been so desperate for a nicotine fix that he was trying to suck the smoke out of your lungs.

I got bill collectors to stop for a solid month after I started hitting on the guy calling me with the most stereotypical flaming gay voice I could muster. The discomfort in the guys voice as he tried to go through his script as I tried to get him to tell me what he was wearing was absolutely palpable. They stopped again for a couple weeks again after I answered and acted like a pissed off redneck about to beat his wife for her talking to another man. Its been the same indian dude calling for that debt for the last 7 years. I sincerely hope my number comes up and he just sighs before dialing the number.

I have one particular number that keeps calling which I have started treating like I was appealing to a cricket umpire. Answer phone, engage in a drawn out single tone scream for as long as I care to, then hang up.

'Hello, we're calling to offer you a vaca...' 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH' '...tion packag?' 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH*click*'

It's cathartic.

Given the price of smokes? Plausible.

People literally buy scrubs designed for Grey's Anatomy because they fit and look better. Figs also seems to be popular. (Personally, I'm a Fashion Seal guy. No-frills, usual crap style, but they last and the sizing is consistent.)

He's way too tall and way too bald. I am merely Nondescript Emergency Physician #3.

There are scrubs that are designed to be antibacterial and impervious to bodily fluids, but it's generally not an issue. That's why we have gowns available. Besides, most things are less bloody than you'd think -- after all, they may have kindly left most of it outside for us.

I have vinyl tile in my garage, it is awesome and way more durable that I ever imagined. Cleaning and squeegeeing is super easy. Make that garage floor look spiffy.

It's fairly nice stuff too. They were going to update existing units with it and have decided to go in another direction and they were just going to donate it/throw it away.
