Any questions?

  1. Is that the green tea-soda stuff? Yuck.

    This could be an advertisement for diet coke though..."9 out of 10 grumpy neurologists agree.."

  2. It's not soda. Just bottled green tea from Costco.

  3. All that caffeine and I'm betting it wasn't enough.

  4. Looks like plenty of vitamin C - Coke, Coffee, and Candy

  5. Gee, I admire your bladder capacity!

  6. My son is trying to save up enough money to buy the Lego Death Star. If you would like to drive your car here and pay my son $5.00 to clean that for you, he'd be more than willing. ;)

  7. No, Grumpy, that's MY car! ;) DH is always after me for using my car as a moving garbage can.

  8. My question is only this: Where did you ever find those snazzy seat covers?!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I got them at a charity store 8 years ago. It keeps the kids from writing on the seats.

  10. You need more chocolate and maybe some chips too to balance out the sugar.

  13. At 5 cents deposit, you have a tank of gas there.

  14. My first thought was: Mmmmmm, diet coke.

  15. You really need a cloth bag to hang on the passenger seat to corral your trash and returnables. I'd make you one, but I might label it "artisanal" just to mess with you. 8D

  16. What I love is how your children are way older than the carseat age and I see a carseat-strap-securing-thingy down there. (like my technical lingo?)

  17. I'm on call 16 days a month. My car garbage is proportional.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Crowned with Victory: Thank you. I actually had no idea what that is.

    It's been there for about 5 years. Since it looked somewhat important I've just left it there.

    ReplyDelete
  19. you are throwing away the blue travel mug too?

    ReplyDelete
  20. No, it and the silver one are in the dishwasher now.

  21. Actually, I'm highly impressed with your tidy nature since I'm willing to bet your "before" pic was actually taken "after". Considering it takes me 30-45 minutes just to decontaminate my husband's car when I want to borrow it (he can obtain your "after" photo in about 10 minutes!), I'm wondering... do you teach a class in that? ;)

  22. A little tip from one who lives on the road, so to speak..

    Get yourself a plastic bin to toss all the bottles in. Will cost you maybe 5$ at walmart.
    Saves you having to get a bag or carry them like a dofus to the recycling stations and instead just lift it out like a boss.

    And you'll avoid any leftover spilling your interior as a bonus.

  23. ya got any Reeses left? thats my favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'd say you've got the basic food groups covered there.

  25. At least you can find your car seat seat-belt clip...

    ReplyDelete
  26. but what do you eat, doc? i see the drinks, but i'm shocked at your oversight... where are the mcd's and bk bags?

    ReplyDelete
  27. I eat caffeine.

    That and the cookies I grab in the doctor's lounge don't have wrappers.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I assumed you cleaned up the crack pipe before you took the pic?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Do you round from inside the car? I'm looking for a sleeping bag and toothbrush. It looks like a bunch of boy scouts lived in there for the weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Where are the empty Jack bottles?

    ReplyDelete
  31. A man after my own heart...I love anything with peanut butter in it, pretty much, especially if it also has chocolate! (But I have to drink my Diet Coke w/o the caffeine jolt.)

    ReplyDelete
  32. How do you get rid of the ants afterwards so that Craig, Frank & Marie don't get bitten by ant bites in the car?

    ReplyDelete
  33. The passenger side of your car looks like the floor of the back seat in my car.

    The back seat holds more... and I don't have to clean it out if I'm driving with just my wife in the car.

  34. glad to know our car is not the only one that looks like this after a busy weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I used to have an addiction to Diet Mountain Dew. Take it from me...switched to Monster energy drinks...more caffine per unit volume...and hence less time spent in the potty!

    ReplyDelete
  36. looks like the trash can in my study area. i have the floor essentially coated with 24 oz diet dew bottles and atleast a dozen coffee cups because I forget to bring it upstairs to get more. 7 days and 5 exams of hell week left.

  37. I'm a professional musician, and when I'm in rehearsals day and night right before an opera opens, my passenger seat is covered in deli paper from sub shops.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Weekends on-call deserve chocolate-covered espresso beans. Period.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yep. That's about right for a weekend on call. You should see my floor....Every other week or so I drive 3-4 hours to rural/frontier western Kansas to do ER/clinic locums for 5-7 days. You can imagine.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Btw, I have been looking for blue books ever since I noticed the title of this post...compare and contrast. Do they still use blue books in colleges?

    ReplyDelete
  41. so...can I use this as a source to tell people "No aspartame doesn't cause Alzheimer's"?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Is there a Twelve Step Program for soda drinking? If so, it needs you.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Forget the "artininal" cloth bags and the oh-so macho bins. And forget recycling altogether. With all the plastic used IN the hospital (not in the Yak herder's car) it is obvious the medical community is not into saving the planet. (the people, not the planet ...)
    Simply get a plastic bag from the kosher (or not kosher) grocery store, place one handle around the grearshift (hmmmm ... does the Grumpymobile have a gear shift? Most garbage trucks do ...) or the parking brake (most go WHAAAAAA THAAAA???) handle and toss away. Remove and repeat as needed.
    Cheap and one more use for the Grumpy plastic trash bags. And even if Mrs. Grumpy, smart woman she is carries home her groceries in a reusuable bag, Our Favorite Yak Herder can get one when he stops at the store for Reeses.

  44. I like the seat cover too...
