Two kinds of pills.
One kind of liquid.
One bottle of iodine.

I have fungus. And bacteria. In my throat. Ironically, one of my medicines is penicillin (fungus) based.

Japanese drugstores have a funny routine when they give you your medicine. They go, "Oh, your throat is sore, isn't it?" "Yes? Well take these after meals." "Oh, and your chest has an interesting sensation, right?" etc.

Making you want to say, "Just gimme my medicine. And validate my parking."

  1. That's almost as aggravating as the ATMs in America that announce that you have withdrawn cash in a loud automated voice when you leave. Just gimme the dadgum money! The announcement is entirely unnecessary, and more likely makes me a viable mugging victim than an informed customer, for crying out loud...
