Worst moment to be snusing?

[Craig de Tering]

While walking around sneezing all day long like an epileptic ****wad and having a runny nose like ****ing Niagara...
GOD DAMN IT it's been lke this since I woke up and every time I sneeze my lip wants to shoot the pris or bag straight outta my mouth.
Plus I can neither sniff OR blow my nose right so I'm constantly twisting Kleenex tissues up my nostrils like they're gun barrels. AAARRRGGGHHHH!

Craig,

First of all God has nothing to do with it, SHE would never do that to you.
Plus, isn't it flu and cold season in Holland? The deep freeze has killed all the Bugs here in the States. No more colds until Spring.

I also had a bad snus-related experience today ... Last night I (sadly) used the absolute last portion snus in the household, and knowing that I might would get a little cranky during a snusless day, this morning I got a can of Rapé loose from the fridge as well as my Icetool and left the house. Normally I never use loose outside my home, and therefore it felt almost exotic to get my 'fix', which I prepared in the subway station on my way to work. Now, I work in a part of Copenhagen which is called Christianshavn, its actually an island in the eastern part of the city and it attracts a hell of a lot tourists because of the tiny 'society in the society' one can find here; the free state of Christiana which was founded by hippies in the beginning of the 70's in an abandoned military area. Almost daily Im stopped by people from all over the world whos looking for the entrance to Christiania (and all the hash/marihuana inside), and this morning also ... I got of the train and up on the streets and this - I think italian - girl comes up to me and asks for directions. First of all she was quite beautiful, which sort of stunned me for a moment. And furthermore she came very close! Stopped about 10 cm from me and just stayed there. I wasnt really uncomfortable with it, more surprised. Which was probably what made my lips curl up in a strange way and instantly destroy the pris and make a hell of a mess in my mouth. I never got to speak a word, when I opened my mouth, all she heard was weird noises ... can only imagine what was exposed to her dark brown eyes. She quickly left the scenery and left me standing there spitting like crazy. What a stupid way to begin a Friday.

:lol:

I've sneezed with a mouth full of copenhagen before and sprayed it all over the walls and such, but have never had an experience like Subtilo. Good thing it wasn't someone you see daily!

@ Subtilo's sad story

Damn, and I though *I* had a bad day. :lol: The only impression that counts is the first one.

Nonetheless, I was very angry when vented my vitriol above. Sorry if I offended anyone. Cursing is another national passtime around here.
Last week a judge proclaimed that saying "**** you" to a policeman is legal/unpunishable and the dutch have almost as many ways to say "god damn it" as they have counties.

LOL it doesn't bother me. Science and math rule! Nothing anyone hasen't seen or heard on Southpark first. You guys watch Southpark? Anyways, I police myself online more than in real life for swearing for some reason.

As far as saying that to a police officer, even if it was legal here, your punishment might just be getting whacked in the head a few times or your teeth knocked out, so it's nothing but yes and no sir for me!

Snus on!

pop an antihistamine(claritin,etc), that'll help.

If i sneeze with a portion in my mouth, often I will spend five minutes trying to find it on the other side of the room. :lol: It's amazing how far they will travel.

I *DID*.
Claritin (loratadine 10mg) but the sucker only seemed to start working like 6 hours later #*@&$!

By the way...is there a compassionate soul in the USA that would care to send me a pack of Wal-itin (the Walgreens' knockoff brand of Claritin)? Or just *any* brand (CVS, Wal-Mart?) as long it has "loratadine 10mg" on the box.
The stuff they sell around here is an unbelievably expensive half-strength syrup (!).

I can never have enough once spring roll around and my supply is pass its expiry date.
If you PM me your PayPal or IBAN/BIC details i'll send you the dough ASAP.

Long live american OTC meds. If it were up the the gov't here they'd even regulate shampoo and diapers for fear of overdosing on them.
