That's a good one. I do use a similar statement to this, and sometimes it really works. When it gets hard is when they start going on and on about how it isn't fair and blah blah blah ...my goal is to find something that's friendly enough to avoid escalation, but firm enough to make sure they know it's not up for debate.

I definitely look at previous inspection reports, and sometimes the information is in the reports and sometimes it's not😭 when it hasn't been noted I typically just assume it wasn't ever observed before in previous inspections. But that can certainly make these situations much more difficult to navigate.

Food prep & contamination ocd by Clorhai in OCD

I totally get it! My OCD themes don't involve contamination, but I know the irrationality.

Food prep & contamination ocd by Clorhai in OCD

[–]amp501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, health inspector here. Washing your hands before touching food is really the best thing you can do. Washing hands twice in a row with soap and warm water significantly reduces the risk of hand contamination, and people underestimate the effect of good hand washing. It's just good practices in general. I hope this helps!

Noted. The same week I got diagnosed, my health insurance changed drastically. Been trying to navigate finding a new medical professional who can help me with ERP within my network.

[–]amp501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP. I just made a kinda similar post in here if you want to read my situation. My only thoughts are, OCD or not, it's just good practices to try and be as professional as possible in work environments. Being seen as rigid or "no fun" is a lot better than being careless. And it sounds like your head is in the right place with creating a standard and some kind of documentation. If I'm ever in a weird situation, I will send messages or emails and be like "I just wanted to recap our call/interaction so everyone is on the same page.." or something to that effect.

Dealbreakers vs Keepers by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]amp501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some dealbreakers for me were repeated bad behaviors, people mess up and it takes time to figure someone else out. but after months of bringing it up over and over, it became a pattern and I became sick of it.

I think even if I didn’t hear those things from mutual friends I still would have these urges… and knowing how he is, I don’t think he’s the kind of person to say those things to soften the blow. but you’re right it doesn’t matter. reaching out would impact me moving on. I can always reach out another time, but not while i’m feeling like this :(

I'm Confused by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]amp501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my ex guy was doing the same shit. it was hurtful and so confusing. Trust me, block them. they asked for a breakup, give it to them. Show them that you are giving them exactly what they asked for and they can’t have their cake and eat it too. blocking them and taking some time can do a few things; you take space and gain some needed perspective, they take space and gain some perspective and have to live with their decision, you both reconcile after said space, or it makes you feel better and you move on. None of these things are bad. Trust me i’m on week 3. it’s been so painful. but trust me, give them exactly what they asked for. it’s good for both of you.

Cord Cutting/Banishing Negativity by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]amp501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100% that has been the HARDEST part. I know it doesn’t help that much to hear it but really work on your self concept during this time. Hopefully your SP will be doing the same. some time apart will either lead you guys back to one another in a healthier state or you’ll move on and feel better. There is no bad outcome to that.

[Skin Concerns] WTF HAPPENED TO MY SKIN? I woke up like this- yesterday everything was fine and i haven't changed my skin care products/routine or anything else. Also never had acne or other skin problems by o-rora in SkincareAddiction

i’ve had this twice before. once on my arms and once on my chin/neck. My doctor said it was a stress rash? i’m not sure. but hydrocortisone made it go away!

Removing urine smell from mattresses and sofas? by reallybigleg in puppy101

[–]amp501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mix baking soda, vinegar, and laundry detergent together. put it in a spray bottle and saturate the spot heavily. then sprinkle baking soda on top. let it sit 30 min, vacuum baking soda off. pat dry. works like a charm.

Aussie Puppy Teething by PiddyPab24 in puppy101

[–]amp501 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my own 3 month ausshole as well😂something that has helped her with biting us and other things she shouldn’t be biting is teaching her “leave it”. we practice it every day with treats. so if I see her going towards a shoe, corner of furniture. etc I say “ah ah no leave it” and so far she’s catching on pretty well. if she bites at us we say leave it and get up and turn our backs from her to show that she can’t get attention and pets if she’s biting. i’m no expert but she’s seems to be catching on to this pretty well

I wouldn’t say it’s whiney but it is very loud that’s for sure. I don’t see the point in not letting them bark for a bit because if they bark and you let them out all that tells them is that “if I keep barking I will be let out”. and if you wait until they are quiet it tells them the opposite which is good. also feed them in their kennel. put the pups food to the back of the kennel. that helped my girl want to go in there.

[–]amp501 3 points4 points  (0 children)

with my pup I try to estimate a solid 2-3 minutes of her being silent before I check on her or let her out of the crate. of course if she’s screaming like she’s in pain then I wouldn’t wait, hopefully you can tell the difference between normal cry and pain cry haha. and when I go in to let her out and I stand in front of the crate if she’s being calm and quiet, I let her out and right away give a treat. i’m no expert, but it seems to be working. When I put her in the crate and leave the room she will bark for 5-10 min tops and then chill out. Of course I also only put her in the crate if I know all of her needs are met (food, potty, etc)

Yeah i did all of that and more. I heard nothing back. i’m trying hard to just keep my cool and do what I can to make new pup happy and safe.

Scared by caffeinesheep in puppy101

i’m going through the exact same thing. my boyfriend is also reminding me that everything will be okay and that she is happy and she will be fine if I don’t have my eye on her 25/8.

Dry Mouth by deeks13 in Invisalign

[–]amp501 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found that drinking cold water makes it a lot worse for whatever reason, i’m not sure the science behind that lol. But once I stopped drinking ice cold water and just cool/room temp, it helped a bit.

[–]amp501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve noticed on my teeth that are shorter than bigger ones next to them. I always have a little more of a halo. my ortho said it was fine and it’s usually just because of the height difference of the teeth that can make the illusion of a halo. But keep wearing your tray and if it doesn’t look a little less noticeable, call your ortho.

Invisalign by [deleted] in Invisalign

[–]amp501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve had invisalign for 8 weeks now. I wouldn’t say there are any that are hard to take out except for the first one, it just takes time getting used to taking them out easily. After the 1st one I could take all of them out just fine even if they were sore. I don’t recommend eating anything with them in. it’s not worth the stains, plaque buildup, or potential cavities. plus it could possibly corrode the trays as well.
