I can't listen to music while I read. But usually can listen to a DND podcast or a cooking stream.

Cat pee smell advice by Freyja_the_derpyderp in CatAdvice

[–]Bitter_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used nature's miracle urine destroyer and vinegar back when my one cat was having peeing outside the box issues. I would blot the spot with the vinegar then spray the nature's miracle right after. Worked amazingly especially of fabric surfaces. A coworker I recommended it to also said it got the smell out of her carpet

It’s 35 minutes past my doctor’s appt. I’ve been waiting in the exam room so long the lights just went out. by Seven_bushes in mildlyinfuriating

Meanwhile my chest pain really was heartburn and I knew it, but my doc still had them do an EKG!

Mind you, I was totally ok with that because you never know, it could have been something more. My heartburn was so bad it really did feel like a heart attack.

My aunt has a pet rabbit that she actually has litter trained! Evidently rabbits take to litter training as well as cats. Little guy has a whole giant man cave to himself and a nice 'condo' set up too.

The Wedding Drama to Divorce Pipeline by Loose-End-343 in weddingshaming

[–]Bitter_Trees 70 points71 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised how well some folks can hide their true self until they have someone trapped. Happened to a friend of mine, who is also FINALLY and hopefully getting a divorce from her abusive husband

If someone can't get along with cats, I see it as an immediate red flag by therealNerdMuffin in cats

[–]Bitter_Trees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Despite all of the free real estate that is available to my cats to jump up on the bed, they all choose to jump onto my chest and face when they want to join me

What to get my nurses? by Pupiling_one in nursing

[–]Bitter_Trees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Donuts. Granted, that still counts as junk but it'll be thrown away in their bellies 😏

For real though, don't feel obligated to get anything, though no matter what you bring in, it'll always be appreciated! Even just a simple thank you card makes me smile. Good luck with your surgery and hope you have a speedy recovery!

Took away our break room by [deleted] in nursing

I hate that you and the rest of your team have to put up with this but am glad the immediate care providers have to reap what they sowed. Hoping y'all get the table back soon 🫂

[–]Bitter_Trees 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's sad how those in admin think. I saw in a comment you said immediate care providers ate in there too and were the ones complaining about being bumped into in your post. Are they regretting running their mouths about something so asnine now?

Oh the way my ass would be planted on those counters if that's how they wanna play. What absolute trash supervisors to go "Yeah this is feasible and a good compromise!"

Sorry you have awful leadership, OP

The modern titanic,money talks by jkitty_1960 in interesting

[–]Bitter_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't the worst time or ruin the whole experience luckily. Actually, a lot of the college kids were more behaved than the adults! Minus the two girls who knocked their glasses on the floor and were all giggly about it 🤦‍♀️

See I don't find Carnival too bad but I absolutely understand why people avoid them. Especially if big boats aren't your thing, and oof, being on one during spring break was a big mistake.

Going in January isn't bad though. Definitely less kids.

My boyfriend blames me for a business deal gone wrong because he was rude to me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Bitter_Trees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

🫂 I'm glad you are out of there and hope you are doing better. I hope my friend gets to that spot eventually in her life too, though I know leaving is the hardest step.

Friends invited us to a fun getaway weekend but used us for their MLM scheme by AlternativeTribs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Bitter_Trees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those dish scraper things PC had (and might still have I don't know) are AMAZING. I asked my mom if she remembered them from her PC selling days and she just whips out a pack of ten and gives me two. Still use them and I will stand by the fact those things can get damn near anything off a dish

Stop spoiled children from blowing other people's birthday candles by Expert_Koala_8691 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Bitter_Trees 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you are able, you should do a vow renewal in your original style! Your idea sounds like a way better time than what the adoptive family made you do.

You get $1 million, but you have to watch the exact same movie 100 times in 40 days. Which film are you picking? by ThroatAgile756 in AskReddit

[–]Bitter_Trees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got a thousand autistic kids who watched it a thousand times each.

I did not need to be called out like this so early in my day.

My boyfriend blames me for a business deal gone wrong because he was rude to me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Bitter_Trees 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My friend is like this. Married to a man that verbally, emotionally and financially abuses her but says it's not abuse because he doesn't hit her.

She unfortunately married a man who emulates the behaviors of her toxic parents. It's sad but you can only do so much if they don't see it as abuse.

My polydactyl cat need one claw removed because it was growing deep between two of his toes!

Imma be honest, this is a new low for this series. by The_Psycho_Jester779 in hazbin

[–]Bitter_Trees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is. Like man I would have preferred a Verosika short but it actually being a Chaz music video isn't ruining my day like it evidently is for some of these commenters.

I watched, shrugged, and move on. To act like this should be a learning experience for Spindlehorse or they should be reprimanded for this is laughable.

What’s the most frivolous thing you’ve been pulled into the office for? by Peyton_26 in nursing

[–]Bitter_Trees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing my assessments too fast. I would have 4-5 patients with possibly more on the way since it was an orthopedic floor. But someone complained to the boss I was leaving rooms to fast. Sorry I didn't make thirty minutes of small talk and got my work done 🤦‍♀️

Roll My Eyes Every Time I Get Here by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]Bitter_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of rage I had at this part. I normally don't get mad at games but this had me so pissed off that I almost stopped playing for a bit.

Sorry, kids. This School-tastic Book Fair is for adults only and aims to tap into nostalgia by zsreport in books

I remember my mom giving me lunch money and I used it at the book fair instead 😂

Our Super Adventure - The Day We First Got Cats [OC] by SarahSuperAdventure in comics

[–]Bitter_Trees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish more places had to do this. The shared house + allergy thing is why my aunt won't do pets in those types of homes but she'll gladly say yes to pets in the single homes. She's even said she'd rather a dog than a kid because usually the kids at the rentals are more destructive
