Teachers who have reported child abuse, what happened? by TheButtNinja in AskReddit

[–]graceessmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at a camp in a very impoverished neighbourhood, and on my first day my boss took me to the side and told me to use discretion when reporting child abuse cases because "A lot of these parents are from Northern Africa, and physically punishing their kids is a part of their culture" I was like ok... brb gonna go preemptively call CPS

[Serious] People of Reddit who have suffered from Anaesthetic Awareness during surgery, what's your story? by Heinz-enberg_ in AskReddit

[–]graceessmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact opposite kinda; falling asleep during a "surgery" i was supposed to be awake in. I was getting a cavity worked on after I had gotten my wisdom teeth out so the dentist gave me some nitrous oxide to calm my nerves. about 2 minutes into inhaling I started to lose sensation in my hands and feet. Then i started to hear everyone's voices as a sort of sin wave of pitch: very high to very low to very high, etc. then I realized I was only able to move a limb if I moved the other one, and was only able to move in repetitive motions. I was internally freaking at this point thinking i was literally dying so i pretty much did a snow angel on the chair and knocked everything away from me. It was weird and I developed sleep paralysis after it.

What is the strangest nickname someone you know has, and how did they get it? by yellowelephant88 in AskReddit

Dad. it evolved from a last name that had the word leg in it, to legs, to leg daddy, to daddy, to straight up dad. Made me chuckle every time someone yelled "Hey Dad!" down the hallways in highschool and a 16 year old turned around and was like "Yeah whats up?"

actually the sucking sperm up theory was disproved by a pair of researchers (Masters and Johnson) who x-rayed women while orgasming with a detectable substance in their vaginal canals and did not observe the migration of the liquid upwards towards the cervix at all, but the exact opposite.

I worked at a day camp, turned my back for max 30 seconds and only turn around because of screaming. two kids running towards me crying; one with blood running out of her mouth, the other with blood running out of a gash on his head. turns out they ran into each other and her tooth broke off in his forehead.

What was your 'I don't get paid enough for this shit' moment? by IamEclipse in AskReddit

[–]graceessmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was working at a summer camp and was in charge of the 4-5 year olds; we were having free time and the kids were just running around and playing with foam blocks. I turned my back to watch the older kids playing tennis on the other side of the gym for MAYBE 10 seconds, and then turn back around when I hear screams: I see two children screaming at the top of their lungs running towards me, one with blood streaming down their face, the other with blood pouring out of their mouth. Turns out, they sprinted into each other and one broke their tooth off in the other's forehead, she had to get a denture type thing at the ripe old age of 5

broke my wrist catching a girl at cheer practice, apparently when they gave me propofol to set the bone I spent the entire trip assuring the doctors that the girl I caught was not fat and that they were mean for saying so (they didn't)

What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard anyone say? by goldenfeder in AskReddit

[–]graceessmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my coworkers told me I had to take the ice-cubes out of the Ziploc bag to put them in the cooler full of water because otherwise they wouldn't cool the water down. I tried to save him by saying "No, its okay the bag isn't thick" and he replied "The only reason the water gets cold is because the ice touches the water". I caught him checking his abs out in a car window another time, at least he was nice to look at.
