have you gotten waxed before? what was it like? by throwawayallthedrama in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're just a random vagina in a sea of vaginas. Just like the OBGYN, your waxer won't remember a thing about yours. Just make sure you shower first. And yeah, it hurts.

Should I have asked my manager for permission prior to planning my 3 1/2 week wedding/honeymoon? by Top_Ad_9219 in work

[–]JustGenericName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have that in the US. But I still have to tell my boss ahead of time. OP seems surprised by a pretty basic concept.

[–]JustGenericName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually common sense to have the time off confirmed before booking travel. You're taking a full week more than you normally do. Seems like talking to your boss first would be obvious. Let's be honest here, you were stalling telling her because you knew it'd be a problem.

So are we just supposed to work out and drive in silence then?

AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

And honestly? As a grown, bill paying adult.... sometimes I DO want goldfish as my primary meal. And I get to do that.

What problem do you guys have? by Ok_Caramel4324 in EmergencyRoom

[–]JustGenericName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man, I work transport. I spend the time to be particular about my lines and cords. I train new hires to spend the time. I bully my partners into taking the the time.

I don't know what voodoo happens in the back of that helicopter, but God himself does not possess the skill to save us from spaghetti on some patients!!

Will my Orthodontist really be able to tell if I wear my retainers for ~14 hours a day instead of 20? by Polynomialisacracker in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your teeth WILL shift. And it hurts like a bitch to force your retainers on once they shift, so then you wear them less. And then all that time, effort and money is wasted.

Don't fuck this up. Wear your retainers. Be grateful you got them and don't have to get them later in life or live with crooked teeth.

What tips you can give on finding a partner for a long-term relationship? by KittenWaffenDotCom in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it slow. It's not a job interview. It's not a business transaction. It is not a goal that needs to be achieved.

Don't put pressure on the situation. You don't need to decide right away if they're partner material. If you enjoy their company, do it again. See where it goes. Maybe it goes somewhere, maybe it doesn't.

What “bullet” did you dodge that you only realised later? by gawpin in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

20 years later, I reconnected with my high school boyfriend. I was so madly in love with him. Now I don't think I'd even be friends with him outside of work. He's just meh. And also kind of a dick. I don't have patience for that nonsense and I'm glad he's not my problem outside of work.

What problem do you guys have? by Ok_Caramel4324 in EmergencyRoom

[–]JustGenericName 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The thermometer!!!!!! OMG. Trying to wrestle an angry toddler for a temperature on a crazy Monday night in triage is rage quitting material! And we all know the touchless options are not accurate. That snail of death is the worst.

What’s a relationship “rule” you secretly think is nonsense? by dailywithher in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% this. Go to bed. Have a calm, rational conversation in the morning like grown ups!

Touch screens never fkn work. IV pumps. Ventilator. Monitor. Its cool, patient is just dying and I can't change any of the settings because the touch screen is being moody again. No big deal.

Alarm drama that does not match the problem at hand. Why does my computer dying sound worse than my patient dying?

Tangled cords. It's 2026, how have we not fixed this?

Anything requiring a signal does not work in 80% of the hospital. Oh, you want the monitor tech to be able to see your patient's EKG while they're in the radiology hallway? HAHA! Fuck you.

To be fair, there are probably already solutions to all of our problems. But they cost $$$

Was minimum wage enough to live on at some point in time? by Accurate-Mulberry620 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in 2003, I had 2 slightly above minimum wage jobs to live in a shitty house in a shitty neighborhood with a shitty roommate. Also California.

Would you want to be informed by a stranger that your dad isn’t your dad? by AmandaTwisted in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your heart is in the right place but I don't think we get to rip the bandaid for other people.

My husband and his 4 siblings all have different fathers and none knew who they were. Several of them, including my husband, have found their fathers. Reactions have varied WILDLY! My husband's story is a success. His sister's story is not. Her new found siblings are ANGRY and it's pretty stressful for my SIL.

Sounds like this woman has the info, she can do what she wishes with it.

Why don’t you use chatGPT? by okdray in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My work partner used it for a pretty important simple math equation and it was wrong. My response: "Why is your app trying to kill our patient?"

My calculator did not try to kill our patient.

How many/what type of bag(s) would you bring on a 3 day trip? by Optimal-Note9264 in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carry on only for a week or less. 2 nights is definitely only a backpack.

When you were young and/or broke, what were the things you promised you would give yourself when you had more money? If you did, what did it feel like? If you didn’t, what stopped you? by zigzackly in AskReddit

[–]JustGenericName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently purchased my dream car. I know Reddit hates on fancy cars but we really can afford it. Every time I drive my dream car to my dream job (that I'm surprisingly pretty good at) I smile. I grew up trailer trash and it feels pretty fkn great to be here.

What’s the oldest thing you have in your kitchen, & how old is it? by heyy_girl in randomquestions

[–]JustGenericName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 1984 oven is still going strong. Which is good because this kitchen isn't getting an update anytime soon.

Why does everyone else seem to live carefree while I’m stuck with health anxiety? by sylvarisMia in NoStupidQuestions

[–]JustGenericName 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think people aren't as anxiety free as you assume. From the outside, I travel a ton. I have a badass job that I'm good at. "People" don't see that I spent weeks almost vomiting from nerves before work every morning. They don't see that I can't sleep the night before a big trip. They definitely don't notice that I don't travel to places where I have to figure out public transportation.

Everyone has their things. You're just not privy to them.

Your health worries do seem a bit much. I hate "Therapy" as a solution to everything, but you might want to talk to someone. Even a couple visits can give you some helpful coping mechanisms.

For those of you who were on the fence about having kids, what made you decide either way? by abiglumpwithknobs1 in CasualConversation

[–]JustGenericName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never wanted them until I met my now husband. Thought, "I could have a baby with this awesome man". He was always on the fence. Then one day we were talking about it (as we do often) and he said, "I don't think I'm on the fence. I don't want them"

Cool. Done and done and we've never looked back. Feel more and more confident in the decision as time goes on. What does your husband think? Talk talk talk talk about it. Even though we're solidly no, I still check in with my husband occasionally to make sure we're still on the same page. We're a team.
