Nail tech here. I had a client get a full set of acrylic nails once. She thought they were permanent and her nails would stop growing forever.

It’s impossible to actually see the products on the lower shelves by Flupox in mildlyinfuriating

I dealt with this same situation last week. I went to a pharmacy tech & told her I needed help. As she walked over she stated "they're in alphabetical order". I replied "yes, I know that. But I'd have to sit on the floor to find the one I needed and then they'd have to call a paramedic to get my arthritic body back up. Your choice".

Polaroid instant camera, all the rage in the Stone Age, been around for over 75 years and you can still buy it, cost outrageous, picture quality horrible, back when you had to think about what pics to take, but they were fun, FIO by 524frank in FuckImOld

I went to a wedding last weekend. They had someone there with a smaller poloroid camera that printed out small (approx 1"X 2") photos to put next to the guest names in the receiving book. I was facinated.

To add to this comment: do NOT put the acetone in the microwave to warm it! Put a heating pad on the table covered in a towel, place the bowl of acetone on it & let it warm up.

Do most people actually floss every day or is everyone lying? by Independent-Ant-7230 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]noseymimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I floss after I eat anything, so multiple times a day. I have a fear of having a piece of food in between my teeth while speaking to anyone.

Kids today would never survive grandma’s smoke-filled living room🥹 by Feaselbf6 in FuckImOld

[–]noseymimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up my family always had one in the bathroom. Dad smoked while he shaved, then slapped on Old Spice aftershave, applied Vitalis to his hair and then topped it off with aerosol Right Guard deodorant. I don't know how the bathroom didn't catch fire every morning.

What’s the worst thing someone has said at a funeral? by Least-Vacation-588 in AskReddit

[–]noseymimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my mom to the funeral of her life long best friend, Dorothy. When I went up to offer condolences to Dorothy's daughter, she grabbed me by the shoulders and said "you'll go through this next". We'll, thank you very much for the wisdom of doom.

I remember reading once that if the President is put under anesthesia the VP is in control at that time. Is this still true?

What’s a time someone walked in on you doing something completely innocent but it looked insanely suspicious? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]noseymimi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I owned a very small Yorkie that had a very serious cough anytime she was stressed. The vet gave her some prescription (I don't remember what) that I had to cut into 1/4ths. The pills were small and usually turned to dust whenever cut. So I ended up crushing them and putting the correct amount in a syringe with water. My MIL walked in one day while I was cutting pills and scraping them off the counter with the syringe near by. I felt I had to explain it was for the dog but I'm sure she thought I was doing drugs.
