A few years ago I was the one who took our 2 kids for their annual wellness check.
He sat there with a laptop going through a questionnaire. There were questions about eating habits and whatnot.
Then he asked about firearms and I said it was none of his business. He needed a yes or no answer. I lied. Then he asked, if we do own weapons are they stored securely.
Anyway, it was obnoxious. A few years later I took the kids again and there was no questionnaire.
Seriously? You answered this intrusive question (even if dishonestly)?
I would have replied: I'm very sorry that you "need" a "yes-or-no" answer, but I'm not giving you one. Now go pound sand!
One of the most obnoxious, deceitful expressions to worm its way into the English language in the past 30 years: "I need you to..." (= "I hereby demand that you...")
Regards,
I blew up at a pediatrician who got into that spiel. I’m sitting there with a sick toddler with a fever and you’re lecturing me about guns instead of taking care of my sick child.
They should ask if you own a Car.
35,000 People die in Car Accidents every year and hundreds of thousands are injured in Car Accidents every year.
Did they ask if you have Pool or if you live near a Lake or the Ocean?
Thousands of people die of Drowning every Year with tens of thousands injured.
