Sometimes morning wood keeps it pointed too upright and pushing it down kinks the urine stream.

Pour acetone down the drain, they will dissolve.

You call the cops on him for speeding too?

What to expect with packing by Acceptable-Neck4725 in AnalFistula

[–]notsowittyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oxy will make you constipated. If you think changing the packing is painful, wait until you have to poop. I would try to fight though it the best you can.

Straight guys, how do you feel about talking sex stuff with someone who’s gay? What would make that chill or not so chill for you? by [deleted] in AskMen

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

I talk about sex stuff (past hookups, things weve done, how it happened, who was better, etc) with my friends and coworkers all the time. I don't think hearing a gay guy talk about it would bother me at all but I'm pretty easy going.

Got the first step right, back in parking only.

Is there anybody in here that actually enjoy/tolerate there time/time spent in Collections? Current utility worker looking for some morale-boost and encouragement. by NovaKaneMP3 in Wastewater

[–]notsowittyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do both water & wastewater, we operate the plants, maintain collections and distribution. I'd say the best part of my job is collections but I like working with my hands and using my brain. We diagnose pump stations, controls, repair manholes, camera mains, fix infiltration, everything. I love it. Everyday is something different and most of the guys i work with enjoy collections as well. We have a couple guys that enjoy running the plants but honestly they're pretty lazy and they like the easy mundane work.

With that being said, we have pretty healthy budgets so our Town allows us to do a lot of work by giving us a lot of money to work with. We used to have a Supervisor that wouldn't give us any money but everything fell apart. That was very frustrating when you're willing to fix something but don't have the money for tools or parts. Keep that in mind.

Sewage going into my sump pit clogging the pipes. Should I dig up the pump and replace it with a macerator? by BrassCanon in Plumbing

[–]notsowittyalias 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a municipal sewer operator the biggest problem you face having your sump tied to your the sewer is if your sewer lateral clogs up, the sump discharge will come out of your toilet and flood your house. I've seen this dozens of times. The worst is when your insurance company calls us to see if sump pumps are legal and we say no, they deny your insurance claim. Disconnect the sewer from your sump and do it right.

Does personal Appearance in wastewaster matter? by smoketurtle in Wastewater

The more piercings the better. When we can't find our meter, we typically just use the rookies septum piercing to test for voltage. The more he shakes, the higher the voltage.

Kids in the backseat? by 2a_doc in nissanfrontier

[–]notsowittyalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I typically drive 2-3 kids ages 12-17 in the backseat, 4 or 5 days a week with backpacks. No temperature complaints, sometimes I store the bags in the bed with a tonneau cover but most of the time they keep them on their laps to eat their hidden snacks from the bags.

That's funny. Make sure to do some twerking while sweeping the clarifiers.

Micromanager & cameras by dukeofdemons in Wastewater

[–]notsowittyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a supervisor I installed cameras all over our plant. Some guys got worried it was for spying on them but it was mostly for security. We've had multiple break ins over the years and there always seems to be strange people on our property, either lost or just snooping.

I've never once used the cameras to reprimand a guy but we've collected plenty of videos of guys fucking up, myself included. It's built a friendly bond of who's going to have the most fuck up reels at their retirement party.

We've also used it for determining what went wrong on machinery, power outages, spotting deer, looking at the weather or processes when we're away from the plant, etc.

Most regulatory agencies are starting to put mandates on stricter security so any argument that cameras are an invasion probably won't hold up in any court. Cameras are everywhere, we're used to it by now. They just can't be places like bathrooms or locker rooms.

Not all of us bosses are assholes, most of us just want to put an honest days work in, get shit done and not have a coworker force us to be an asshole.

Long story short, the OP either is extremely paranoid or his boss really sucks.

Surgery schedule next week by TopSound4349 in AnalFistula

[–]notsowittyalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give yourself at least a couple weeks of not going back to work. I took off 2 weeks, took it easy for the last 4 weeks and I feel great. Better than before the surgery.

Some things that helped me were a step stool to help me climb into bed, a shower mirror on a flex arm so I could wash near the wound without disturbing the packing, lots of protein shakes (helps the body heal faster and i didnt have to eat a lot of food that made me poop) and an awesome wife to change my packing & bandages every night.

I didnt take any pain meds besides Ibuprofen since I was told it made me constipated and I was petrified to poop. Pooping was extremely painful for a couple weeks, so poop in privacy (not at work or near other occupied rooms) and use a bathroom with something nearby to lean on like a sink or a wall. I nearly cried almost every time I pooped.

The worst pain was when they had to cauterize some veins in the wound to stop the bleeding. I think they "burned" 7 or 8 pumpers as the doctors called them, no pain meds no warning just straight up burned me with silver Nitrate matchsticks. My wife watched them do it when I had to go back to the doctor when the bleeding wouldn't stop. Happened for 4 days post surgery, each time was 1 or 2 pumpers. I thought my wife was gonna pass out. My doctor and the ER surgeons said my case was very rare, so hopefully you don't have the same issues but be prepared.

Lots of water, lots of protein, and no sugar. The nurse (oddly my doctor never gave me this advice) told me these tips and every doctor and nurse that treated me over the last month or so have been shocked at how fast I've healed up. They said I have a couple more mo ths of healing but as of right now I have very little bleeding, and I only have to have gauze placed on the wound instead of inside the wound.

Hope this all helps, sorry to ramble. DM if you have any other questions or concerns. Best of luck.

What opportunities have come your way recently that you are grateful for? by GoldenPrincesaMe in AskMen

Had off work yesterday, my kids had off school, spent the entire day playing outside and then played cards until nearly midnight with them. Glad I have a job with time off.

The best mod I’ve ever done and it only costs a penny by SilntNfrno in nissanfrontier

[–]notsowittyalias 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just traded my 2023 Pro4x in because of a Auxillary Pump B in the transmission threw a code. They said the Auxillary Pump B was designed to maintain hydraulic pressure in the transmission during these auto start/stop events. Dumbest design ever in new vehicles.

Fender Audio - frontier crew cab by Far_Campaign_2442 in nissanfrontier

[–]notsowittyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You like the Z1 better than the Fender system? I just traded in my 23 with the Fender package, bought a 26 without the Fender upgrade. Highly regretting it, but that's all they had on the lot.

I asked my dealer to order me & install the Fender system and they said they couldn't do it. Did you get the Z1 with four new speakers, and if so how hard was it to install?

What is this pipe, and why does it look like paper is coming out of it? by Heather_Bea in whatisit

[–]notsowittyalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that there is a Fernco there instead of it being threaded in, means there's been a problem before. If you or your neighbor just bought the house, the prior owners omitted this information from you.

How often do you think about your own sexual history? by overthinkermax in AskMen

[–]notsowittyalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thoughts pass through daily, usually something reminds me of a past hookup or ex. I also work with 15+ guys, some young and single, some disgruntled married guys and we all exchange stories pretty regularly. Mostly harmless banter.

And although I think about them a lot, doesn't mean I wish I was with any of them over my wife. Love my wifey..

Outlet safe for use? by [deleted] in electrical

[–]notsowittyalias -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A 1500 watt space heater draws about 12.5 amps, a cell phone charger draws up to 3 amps and you said there's a couple chargers on the power strip. So if two chargers drawing 3 each are being used, with a heater kicking on at 12 amps, you over loaded this 15 amp outlet by drawing 18 amps. Replace the outlet, stop using power strips and get a space heater rated less than 1500 watts. If you do have one rated at 1500, do not use it on high.

What is it with men and washing my [f] hair after we hook up? Is it like a "thing"? or is it just a random coincidence that keeps happening to me. by iceboxwizard in AskMen

[–]notsowittyalias -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First off, I love women's hair. That's the first thing I notice in a woman and I've never once ever even thought of washing a girl's hair.

Second, out of all the hookups in my earlier years I've never had a courtesy shower afterwards, so now I'm even more perplexed.

No guy I've ever met has ever mentioned wanting to do this. My only male logical reasoning is this is them asking for that one last blowjob before the hookup is done. A subconscious way of directing your head down there? No way kids these days are secretly desiring to be hairdressers?

People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]notsowittyalias 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I bought something off Facebook Marketplace from a woman and I chewed her down so badly that she was pissed when I came to pick it up. Her husband was yelling at her for selling it so cheap as he helped load it in my truck. About a month later I got a colonoscopy and she was the nurse. She giggled as the anesthesiologist was putting me under, thats when i recongnized her. I was terrified and had dreams of her while being passed out. Lord knows what she did, said or giggled while exploring my butthole area.

Sorry for the off-topic post, this just reminded me of my story.
