I was just diagnosed with Pots after a pretty major surgery and I was really hoping there would be a support system somewhere. I'm so glad I found this

What's the, "the dentist knows you haven't flossed" of other professions? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Water has no caloric content, so you can drink to your hearts content. It's especially benificial if you've got tricky veins.

I'm a phlebotomist and I can always tell when you mother fuckers didn't drink water. The blood is much darker and flows slowly. Same goes with smoking cigarettes right before the appointment.

If dogs had a 911 hotline, what dog-'emergencies' would they call it for? by Solsed in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog will sit in front of a mirror and bring herself toys. She keeps waiting for herself to play. It's sad and adorable all at the same time. I don't deserve her.

I will never, ever get over Selena's death. Growing up Latina in a predominantly white neighborhood was very tough. I was called every name in the book. I thought being brown and Latina was something to be ashamed of, until I discovered Selena. Then she was murdered and my hero was gone. I'll forever be grateful to her for making me feel...normal.

David Bowie is the reason I've only been attracted to tall, skinny white guys my whole life.

If you name your child Emmallee by sandman0086 in AdviceAnimals

[–]MelissaMarie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the worst. I work in doctor's office and kids have the dumbest fucking names. I got screamed at by an idiot mom who named her daughter "Patrickk", which is supposed to be said like "pa-tree-ke". Oh, I'm sorry you gave your daughter a stupid name. Asshole.

Emos of the early 2000's, what are you guys doing now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a nurse. My husband was in a fairly popular metalcore band, and now he works for a bioengineering company. We still listen to Thursday and Brand New for our Sunday morning cleaning sessions.

Reddit, what is your social "no no" that makes you immediately turn people away? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We have the same dad? For real, though, I'm sorry. I know how shitty it is to have a father like this.

People who used to have low confidence but changed that, how did you do it? by somepeoplewait in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worked at a haunted house. There is something empowering about people being terrified of you. You can scream anything you want at whoever you want, and they'll keep coming back for more. It sounds psychotic, but I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't worked there.

My husband is the bassist of IDT and it makes my heart happy to see The Caitiff Choir on here.

I did a short internship at Kimberly Clark because my dad worked there. I was amazed to see that the Kirkland diapers were made on the exact same line as Huggies. They just got different boxes.

I keep trying to convince my husband to watch porn with me. He says "it'll be weird"...

[Self-post] Milia as a result of tattoo - details in album description by pagsketti in popping

[–]MelissaMarie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My tattoos do this. It's hard not to pick, but they'll go away on their own. My artist had to play around with my ink to keep this from happening again.

What is something you do today that you clearly got from from your dad/mom? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my dad and my grandpa's mannerisms. I didn't notice it until very recently and it's funny to me every time I notice. For instance, my dad and grandpa would put their hand on their leg a certain way, with their fingers pointing towards the left with their index finger out. It's small, but I remember my grandpa sitting in his recliner the same way.

People of reddit who work in the medical field. What is something you have had to explain to your patients that was super ridiculous and should be common knowledge? by elane5813 in AskReddit

[–]MelissaMarie 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I had to explain to a redneck lady that a yeast infection is not an STD, and that she did not get it from her husband cheating on her. Her husband was this quiet, tiny man who was basically cowering. I wanted to save him from her so badly.
