IT people hate computers.
IT people hate computers.
IT people hate users. IT people hate other IT people. We’re just a surly lot.
Paramedics hate methamphetamine. And alcohol. And high voltage electrical current.
But we love people who injure themselves creatively.
Nvidia hates Wayland. :(
lab techs hate improperly collected samples. The people who collect those samples often in turn hate lab techs.
As a lab tech, I feel this one.
I spent years in a research path core and am just wrapping up my med lab certification, it amused me when they hired actors to come to our program and we role-played dealing with angry pathologists, fuming nurses ect… Most of my clients have been MSc students or MD/PHD conducting research. they might be experts in their field and conduct these brilliant studies then stumble right at the finish line because sample collection was bungled or something ruined during extraction. I’ve seen some “interesting” DIY fixation and processing protocols to save a little money that did the same thing. I always feel so bad but most people are willing to learn and work with us.
Ornithologists hate cats.
Simple, common bird appreciators too
EMS hate motorcycles and decorative throw rugs.
and anything vaugly shaped like a butt plug but is not a butt plug.
Also, actual butt plugs. Yes, they can and they will slip inside to the point you can’t get them out.
Why do they hate the decorative throw rugs?
Slip and fall danger.
I know 2 people that both had an accident this way. One tore off a tendon around the knee, the other fractured their hand from trying to cushion their fall. And I don’t know that many people.
Yeah, people don’t realize you can add non-slip materials to the bottom to minimize the risk.
Ugh, if only that worked for longer than like a month.
Eventually all these materials you can throw under throw rugs to make them stickier end up failing. Catastrophically.
Make sure to get a throw rug that has the non-slip feature sewn in. Make sure it’s nice and heavy too and never put it in the dryer (it’ll ruin the non-slip part). You should probably air dry throw rugs anyway, actually 🤷
I know q-tips aren’t safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.
What do you mean, not safe? I always thought “do not use in your ear canal” was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?
Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.
Yo don’t actually put those in your butt, they’re not made of body safe materials and will give you ass cancer. Don’t use TPU, TPE, PVC, or tin-cure silicone in your butt. It’s literally made to absorb stuff and putting carcinogens in it is a bad idea. Look for medical grade or platinum-cure silicone.
They are called novelty toys because the countries they are made in have laws against adult toys but not novelty items.
That’s my point - Q-tips and novelty toys are both more commonly used for their off-label functionality because listing that on the label is inconvenient for the maker.
Supposedly they can pack the earwax together which can be an issue.
Yeah, I am not going to contradict any doctors when it comes to the risks, but for my ears and the way I do it, I haven’t ever hurt myself and my PCP says my ears are completely clear at each checkup.
I think I’m fortunate to have pretty light thin wax though.
I bought metal earwax spoons. Sure, q-tips feel great and all, but pulling out the clod of wax actually responsible for the itch is divine
I am way too scared to use one lol. Certainly wouldn’t trust myself to use it but maybe I should give one of those services a try.
As a psych nurse I hate food and housing instability and the death of thirdspaces. Oh and also the prison industrial complex.
I was in a waiting room at a hospital recently, and there was a homeless person trying to get out of the heat there as well. He was talking about how he hasnt eaten in days and he doesnt know what hes going to do. Not five feet from him is multiple vending machines filled with food and drinks, just a thin piece of glass barricading them in.
Seeing both of those things next to each other at the same time made me so angry. I dont really know what I’m angry at or who needs to fix it, but I know there’s a problem there that should be fixed.
Glass manufacturers hate bubbles.
A lot.
Engineers hate managers.
Remember next time you get a shitty product, don’t blame the engineer who designed it. Blame the manager who forced him to do it that way.
Technicians hate engineers. An engineer will drag themselves across a field of naked virgins, ignoring them all, in order to fuck one mechanic.
Funeral Homes hate the Government.
They are incredibly rude to the families receiving financial assistance, it takes 3 months for them to pay us, and did you know that if you don’t have a will they cut your step-children out of the process entirely?
We had one gentleman in our care whose only living family was his step-daughter. Because there were no blood relatives and no will the Public Guardian took control of his disposition and the step-daughter had no say in anything that happened with him. Wasn’t allowed to keep a portion of the ashes, the Funeral Director had to fight just to allow the step-daughter a brief final visitation.
This is also true for children under 18. Your 17 year old child has no say in your disposition if you have no other living relatives.
Have a will people, if for no other reason than to allow your loved ones to decide how they will grieve rather than some indifferent bureaucrat.
Which country is this?
Canada
Do funeral homes in Canada charge grieving families 10k to bury their loved ones?
If they want a fancy casket and a large service maybe. It is rare to have a contract that large. Usually it’s in the $3000 - $5000 range, but anything covered by the government is less than $1500. (We also don’t have the cheapest prices in town)
It never occurred to me that a government would pay a funeral home, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense for a government to collectively pay for the disposal of human remains, since everyone needs it, and it can’t be abused.
Not everyone is eligible, but if the family has no money to pay for it the government pays for basic services. If the family has funds available they have to pay but I believe they get reimbursed for some amount.
Data scientists hate time zones.
Software engineers hate MBAs. It’s like they live in a fantasy world where everything works perfectly and can be done in 3 days and can read your mind.
I got my MBA almost a decade ago, several years after getting my software engineering master’s first. We hadn’t started a family yet, and my employer had amazing tuition reimbursement.
It didn’t work on me though, even though there were some interesting systems, math, and psychology to learn about. I am still an individual contributor writing code daily, helping the younger engineers, and growing into my generalist graybeard best self.
Unfortunately my dark side training hasn’t given me much insight that you don’t already have yourself, most likely. I guess it’s worth pointing out that while most probably live in that fantasy world, there are some smart nerdy people in that world who might be driven to optimize their business like they’d min-max a dungeon crawler build. There’s just something else that went wrong along the way, lol.
Trauma specialist Doctors hate e-scooters
I have an acquaintance who is learning how to walk and talk again because he hit a pothole on an e-scooter. Wear your helmets, kids!
And bicycle helmets are not rated for the speed e scooters can go. You want a full face motorcycle helmet and motorcycle gloves.
I see so many teenagers screaming down the road at 40mph with no helmet and I clench up. It’s stressful.
People keep saying they’re dangerous but I ride one all the time. I really wish they were as well studied as bikes, where I know the helmet doesn’t help that much when you’re hit in a collision.
A scooter’s wheels have a much smaller diameter, so they’re much more susceptible to rocks and bumps than a bike.
They are also unstable without steering input, unlike bicycles, which makes them way more dangerous. I’d like to see the research.
Retail workers hate you.
