Why does everyone hate dentists?

I mean a lot of other professionals can afford cameras that they can't use. Why are dentists singled out. My dentist is a great guy not some pretentious idiot. Geez, I work in manhattan. Take a walk on Madison Ave. and see what the Wall St. types are buying and how much they're paying. You'll vomit.
 
I hate people who hurt me.
Bad experiences with dentist as a kid.
The smell, and the sound of the drill....

I don't take Internet posts so seriously. I honk horns and blow whistles every single time I read them. I take them so hilariously.

Some of them just spoil the pie, though. I take those so piefully.

they inflict pain, and want to charge you for it ...

uh-oh; you know, Freedom of Expression ain't free the moment you mention the Agents of Eeeevyel :eek:
 
Our esteemed member JAAPV is a dentist and I for one appreciate what my dentist does for me.

Two things I don't really care for ...

... airplanes and dentists.

Both are kind of necessary evils. I'm the biggest baby when it comes to pain. I need a general anesthetic to have my hair cut! :(
Thankfully they are not drilling as much as they used to, and the pain control is much better now. (Imagine that big honking "now this is so you won't feel any pain" needle. Yeah, right!)

I'm scared $#!+less being who knows how many thousand feet up and totally out of control of the situation! :( I need to fly, my job depends on it. I also like to spend my vacations doing things rather than getting there. Yes, I know flying is safer than driving, but when you're up there you don't think of that. :( Actually, I'm not afraid of flying or afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling or crashing.

Oh well, you asked ...
 
Just a convient convention/target of scorn becauseof pain. But I really like my dentist. She is good looking, has delicate hands/technique, and remembers my taste in wine. I'm jealous of Jaap's ability to just order an M8, yet I'm truly happy for him. Life is too short for jealousy, so let's all just celebrate each other as people who enjoy the craft and results of photography.
 
is this because of my dentist quip on the low priced leica thread?

and...the quote of the week goes to...

...I'm the biggest baby when it comes to pain. I need a general anesthetic to have my hair cut!...

i have just wet my pants and finished rolling on the floor and i plan to use this line as often as possible till my friends start throwing things at me!

My dentist in London and my dentist in Portugal are great.

By some weird chance they both like discussing movies with their nurses and like to involve me in the discussions.

My mouth is full of stuff I don't wish to think too hard about and we discuss movies, they all say that they can read my eyes and it's a natural skill.

Edit: PS I once tried to discuss Marathon Man and they said they'd never seen it. I think it was their joke but maybe not.

I don't hate my dentist, but I wish the hygenist wouldn't lecture me every damn time she's cleaning my teeth on how to properly clean my god damn teeth. I'm fifty one years old and I've been brushing my teeth, and flossing--yes, intermittently, I'll admit it--for most of those years, and so what if I have a minor gold mine in my mouth and mercury fillings and crooked teeth because I didn't want to wear braces and my mother couldn't afford it back in those days anyway? I don't hate hygenists either, but I wish they'd just do the job and get off my back. Arrrrgh.

P.S. I hate pit bulls, however.

Jon: why do you have dentists in England and Portugal? Don't they look at the other's work and make disparaging comments, like, "Tch.Tch. Interesting. Mind you, I wouldn't have done it that way. Didn't know they still did work like that, over there. Hmph. Well, we can fix it if you want..."

My dentist talks about sailing. I don't own a dinghy, let alone a yacht. You know, if I were a dentist, first of all I wouldn't assume my client liked talking AT ALL during the operation; secondly, I'd have the option of headphones, you know, several channels of music, or an iPod--which I'll bring next time--my sister's dentist has a tv in the ceiling. What I really liked, with another dentist who I don't see anymore, was his choice of assistant...
 
I wouldn' hate him (he saved me from a terrible teethache two years ago) but since i discovered he has an unused leica III that he doesn' want to sell me, i'm forced to hate him!!!
