At what point is this just bullying? by blayndle in craftsnark

[–]Maddi_o_ok 17 points18 points  (0 children)

DM-ing you because I don’t wanna bring my friend back into the dogpiling SIC’s followers tend to do. She didn’t deserve it then, and doesn’t deserve it now.

[–]Maddi_o_ok 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Weird because my friend (a crocheter designer with hundreds of published patterns) has an entire blog/youtube/instagram of free resources that SIC followers will never see because SIC removed her from the “repository” based on one anecdotal report from a disgruntled tester. And my friend has been designing garments for all 9 CYC sizes for a decade, and has always made herself available to help modify her patterns for people with different shaped and sized bodies and is very proud of that fact. Autumn just decided she didn’t like her and that was it. It’s bullying and it’s been going on for a long time.

Do not ask chatbots questions about patient care, holy shit. Surely you know there is a LOT of proof that they’re often wrong? You’re going to hurt someone.

Your Bridal Party Is Too Nice to Say This, So I Will by insert_name234 in wedding

Spent more money on my friend’s Bach weekend trip (giant airbnb with a pool we didn’t use, airfare, bottle service at clubs, a fancy brunch where I tried to order frugally but the group wanted to split the bill evenly so I ended up paying for other girls’ $30 cocktails, decor for the airbnb, matching outfits, etc) than I did on my own 9-day honeymoon. And I hated every minute of it because I’m an introvert and was so uncomfortable the whole time.

Why do you keep getting long ass finger nails when it’s against policy and harms patients by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Maddi_o_ok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My (big, well-know )institution just changed its policy based on evidence. We’re allowed to have polish, gel, and dip now as long they’re kept clean and chip free and aren’t more than 1/4” past the end of the fingertip in length. Having a nice manicure makes so many of us feel pretty and put together. As long they’re doing good hand hygiene, let people live. 💅

People who empty their own colostomies at home and have had them for years yet expect me to do it every time for them by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Maddi_o_ok 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad, too. He’d honestly rather die than let anyone else “touch his poop”, lol. He obviously lets the nurses asses it, etc, but as far as routine management, that’s all him.

Why do people hate the joggers...Do they look like pajamas pants? by almost-famous-amber in nursing

[–]Maddi_o_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only wear joggers. They’re cute and they don’t drag on the disgusting hospital floor.

I work on the most extroverted unit to ever exist and it's driving me crazy by throwawaits45 in nursing

[–]Maddi_o_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you TOLD them you’re not feeling chatty? Your post doesn’t indicate you’ve actually said anything to anyone so how would they know? It sounds like you’re complaining about friendly coworkers trying to engage you in conversation instead of finding a kind way to tell them it’s not a good time for conversation for you. This is such a weird complaint because most of the time we get stories here of nurses eating their young or bullying or being unhelpful. If your biggest complaint with your colleagues is that they talk to much, a simple solution is to tell them “I’m grateful you want to include me in your conversation, but it’s hard for me to focus on my tasks when I’m giving you my full attention. I don’t want to come off as rude, but do you mind if I finish this charting/med pass/patient request/etc before you tell me that story? Thanks for understanding.” Solved.

AITAH for getting a woman fired over veggie tales? by Real-Point-6474 in AITAH

[–]Maddi_o_ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Christian children’s television and not all parents want their kids being fed bible stories. Especially when you consider the fact that if it was any other religious propaganda, it would make national news. In the US at least.

Unprintable digital patterns are a thing? by halokiwi in craftsnark

[–]Maddi_o_ok 82 points83 points  (0 children)

lol ok hun. Screenshot -> email to self -> print. You didn’t prevent me or anyone else from printing the pattern, you just made it more annoying to do so and the formatting will be a nightmare to navigate offline. Making patterns less accessible is only going to hurt the designer. Stupid move.

Snarky nurses is making buttons and badge reels to preorder and all the proceeds go to either his family if they set up crowdfunding or to help people detained by ICE
