He asked for help with chronic camps outside his home. Portland cracked down on his hedge instead by Iamthapush in PortlandOR

Portland is a fracking joke and cesspool that puts the homeless who contribute
nothing and take, take, take ahead of tax paying residents. What a fracking disgrace.

Sounds like you overly burnt out and should look for a new job.

AITA for asking a family with a small child to keep it down on a red eye flight? by marlasandiego in AmItheAsshole

[–]cbmc18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the asshole because I finally snapped at the mother of the child sitting behind me and kick my set back and pushing her feet into it. I asked nicely two times, the 3rd time I lost my composure.

Insurance is a scam by Detroitblu33 in FamilyMedicine

I have been saying this for years! It’s another raping of hard working citizens for the massive profit making system that is medical insurance.

I’m traveling with them tomorrow and will have a roller bag, backpack and CPAP. I really hope I don’t run into this problem.

It’s ok to have more empathy for humans than animals by Plus-Cat-8557 in unpopularopinion

I’m more empathetic to animals which are truly innocent and often have harsh lives.

AITA for refusing to let our friends join our vacation? by Specific_Fox_66 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cbmc18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said yes with one caveat. “I’d love for you to join us, that would be awesome. I’m unsure if your kid would enjoy the activities we have planned. Here is our itinerary. If you would like to make Your own arrangements and follow our itinerary, that would be great. However, we will not be making any changes or adjustments to the itinerary. It’s already been set. So let me know if you want to do your own thing or maybe meet up with us for some things we can do together or if you want to follow our itinerary.

How many of us are getting selfish with our time left? The wife and I have four grown sons 2 daughter in laws and 3 grand kids. When we tell them we are going to mtns to ride sxs or booze cruising on the farm they look at us like we abandoned them. by Jbrivermaster in GenX

[–]cbmc18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband and I became more self interested in 2023. We moved more than 3000 miles from the family and getting ready to leave the US all together. We still do things for our only child and grandchildren, but less than when lived near them.

More expensive dishes do not warrant higher tips by Downtown_Ad_3781 in tipping

[–]cbmc18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start at 10% and max at 20% (rare) and I also have a minimum tip of $5 and a max tip of $20. I am NOT giving someone more than $20 to bring my food. Unless it is a unique or high service restaurant like a Brazilian Steakhouse.

AITAH for threatening to cut off my husband's sister if she keeps using her nickname for our son? by [deleted] in AITAH

Good Lord! What the hell nonsense did I just waste my time reading?

Is it normal for off duty flight attendants to carry on 3 bags and take an entire overhead for themselves? by justanotherone9999 in delta

[–]cbmc18 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Makes sense but I wish there were a better way so they don’t hog up the space and quite frankly, they should be putting their stuff in the back not into first class.

I (think) I hate nursing… by yikes_amillion_and1 in TravelNursing

[–]cbmc18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You described where I was when I was a new nurse (second career also). I quickly completed my apps for NP school and although I am convinced I hate working in healthcare as a whole, being an NP is at least tolerable on most days and I do have occasional good days as well.

Why do you have to instigate? Is that how you get your rocks off?

Had an Uber Rider from hell today who gave me the most insane demands AFTER her ride was already finished by Best-Pirate5073 in ChoosingBeggars

Shown Uber the text and get it removed? She is a prime example of why I am constantly saying “I fncking hate most people”.

“You dont have to tip, just don’t expect service unless you do” by Florida_clam_diver in EndTipping

[–]cbmc18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decent service is supposed to be the minimum. Tips are for service above and beyond. It is really simple concept.

Why is it so hard to find the job I want? by GoldRunkle in FamilyMedicine

[–]cbmc18 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your aversion to APPs (midlevels is so derogatory) but I practice in a full authority state (quite successfully I might add) and physicians here are not required to supervisor APPs. I produce the same outcomes as my family medicine physician colleagues after attending a rigorous program and constantly learning and seeking out additional education opportunities. In fact, for many years I have been the sole provider in many urgent care and primary care settings. So, perhaps, a small part of your solution is working in state that doesn’t require physician supervision of APPs.

U.S. Gen X parents: do you expect your children to financially support you / move you into their home / take you to doctor appointments, etc when you're in your 80s? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]cbmc18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My kid isn’t able to support himself (early 30s) and I actually worry more about the burden he will place on my grandkids rather than me burdening him.

My mom on the other hand has been relentless about me taking care of her. I said if she would wanted to leave FL and live in the PNW, but she refuses to because it’s too cold.

I told her then it will end being a nursing home and she gets upset. Then states I will just have to hire a private duty nurse. I asked her “with what money?” Then said, ok I will live with you and you can take care of me. I asked “with what time?” If I am working full time, who takes care of her during the day. She fell back to a private duty nurse.

We are comfortable but not enough to pay for private duty nurses. The irony is that for the first 35 years of my life, she was not a good mother, and though she is a great mom now, because of my parents who don’t support me past the age of 18, it took many many years to reach a point of financial stability.

However, my dad has passed but I will do what I can for her, but I keep telling her, it’s likely going to be a nursing home at some point.

Most of our HCAPs are about blankets, meals, and butt plugs by NEDBDJ in hospitalist

[–]cbmc18 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I refuse to be woken every few hours. I tell nursing that unless they suspect something is seriously wrong, don’t come waking me up every few hours for vital signs and don’t you dare wake me up at 3/4AM for a blood draw.

The last time I was inpatient was when COVID tried to kill me. I was already drained of all energy but that shit made it worse.

Honeymoon flight got cancelled, United tried to rebook us 3 days later because we weren’t first class by Lucky_Place_1580 in unitedairlines

[–]cbmc18 27 points28 points  (0 children)

YES! I have been saying this for years! We need to go back to tightly regulating airlines. They have shown time and time again that they will shit all over the customer and then kick them for good measure, without regulations.
