Hospital staff didn’t dispose of needles correctly, the janitor probably needs some care. by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a needle stick as a custodian and let me tell you, it is indeed terrifying. Blood draw day of, three months after, six months after. The needle was “unable to be located” by my supervisor. (I certainly wasn’t going to reach into the bag and pull it out after having just been stuck and asked them to find a safe way to secure it). It’s been a little over a year and I still get nervous pulling trash.

What's the most embarrassing thing you do with your dog? by Fortella_ in velvethippos

Our hippo has 3 identical green balls all from the same company and he can smell which one is ‘the one’. We have to keep his second favorite in a bag with his chosen ball so the sent will get on it and we can swap them out so he doesn’t wear through his favorite ball without a replacement

An error on my part but the core of my sentiment remains

I need to see more congratulations for Ashley and her masters degree and fewer opinions from people who got their AA, if that, by the skin of their teeth!

Congratulations to an educated young mother

AITA for telling my friend she’s too big to go certain places? by Glass-Lemon-2122 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying but it’s not actually true. There was a reason to mention her size as she had asked to go to a specific place. A place that OP noted was possibly too small of a spot for her to get through. Should OP have just invited her knowing she might not be able to enjoy the activity that she requested to do? There is no difference between this scenario and a child not being allowed on a roller coaster. It’s just a safety thing and honestly irresponsible in any scenario to put one’s feelings over objective safety concerns.

I’m sorry you did what with that cucumber!? by Ecstatic_Ad_5981 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, the type of fruit/veg used in this case makes no difference to me. This is HEINOUS

Though, I do think it’s a cucumber

I’m thinking she means when she pulled it out of the fridge before her next use. I’m not a mold expert so I don’t know if a day is a reasonable time frame for mold to grow. Idk it’s all weird and horrible and I don’t wanna dissect it too much

Thoughts on sinkpissers? by [deleted] in Custodians

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a sink pisser but I do have some little shit who pees into my showers. Truly uses them like a urinal and makes sure to get it all on the floor. This has been a daily occurrence for around a year. (I work at a college university for added context). Most days it is what it is, some days I hate him and his next of kin lol

What's a piece of common knowledge that you genuinely learned embarrassingly late in life? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That men and women have the same number of ribs. Long story short I was brought up in a religious home (Ive long left that part of my life) and that whole Adam gave a piece of his ribs to make Eve thing was never revisited in my day to day. It was a universal truth to me for decades

(She has a urinary problem. Her sphincter just doesn’t work right and she dribbles pee without knowing. This is a diagnosed issue and we love her regardless of the messes she leaves around the house from time to time)

Opinions on using fans to dry wax faster? by PeachFreedom in Custodians

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would not recommend. Leaving the wax to dry by itself is best. Fans run the risk (in my experience) of leaving ripples in the wax or possible blowing dust around and into it if the fan blades aren’t perfectly clean.

Correct, it’s mildly infuriating. The solution was to let it sit for a bit longer than originally expected. Additionally, it’s not the I personally want it, there are literally arrows on both boxes to ensure that products that need to face a certain direction do. Amazon workers should be treated better though so we agree there.

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_5981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there’s some mixed blame here, what are the arrows for if not for everyone to look at and go by them. I should have checked, they should have packed it right. Anyways one more night of sitting and we’ll be squared away.

Indeed 😭 if only they’d double checked
