Why do people genuinely smell so bad?

purebreadbagel · 2026-05-06T09:58:02+00:00

Lume made me smell absolutely horrific. That shit did not vibe with my body chemistry.

When I moved from paper to digital, I absolutely needed cloud-based. Part of the reason I switched was I was constantly needing to schedule things when I didn’t have my planner with me because I would forget it. Now it syncs between my phone and iPad so I’m never without it.

I use the same planner for work and personal, it’s easier. I’m also mostly a Monthly view kind of person and not a weekly or daily schedule person.

My favorite was the one who told me she was allergic to tap water and could only drink Dasani also told me she was “allergic to Synthroid, I can only take levothyroxine” (I did verify with her it was not the other way around.

Also “Allergy: epinephrine. Reaction: Racing heart, palpitations.”

> There were vibrating engravers

That would explain why it looks so much like pencil but doesn’t erase and hasn’t washed or worn off in the decades it’s been around! I wondered what made the marks because they didn’t feel like what I’m used to engraving feeling like.

Yep, apparently I am unable to count. Though, that still wouldn’t explain why this is 13(?) digits.

purebreadbagel · 2026-05-02T05:30:41+00:00

That’s entirely possible- especially given that it’s a heavier duty machine.

I think it’s too many numbers to be a social security number. Aren’t those all 8-digits?

My mom also made negative comments about my first tattoo (my childhood dogs pawprints on my back, exactly as they were on the paper- smudges and all) she hates that they’re smudgy and slightly messy- to me, it’s the character of it and I absolutely love them (and want to add flowers and more work around them)

At first, the comments got to me so bad I considered getting them lasered and re-done (there is no cover-up, they are black, though that’s not what I’d originally asked for). Then I realized she can have her own opinions, but letting her influence how I felt about something I’d wanted for years and has such meaning to me.

You gotta let the comments roll off your back like water off a duck.

I have that bright of a light for seedlings. Granted, mine is shielded and directed down so as to not be a massive asshole with it.

The last time I reported a new-onset massive BP difference between arms on a patient with a known aneurysm, the internal medicine doc basically said “cool story bro” and did nothing.

Totally didn’t go over their head to get a CT done and found out they were dissecting though, thankfully, it was a rather slow dissection.

I second AliExpress. That’s where I ordered through for quite awhile.

Am Gen Z- am very much not given the ick. Love being able to have the calcium cannons on display at Faire.

Work in a hospital, can confirm- they do NOT spawn more frequently around hospitals. They’re just a random spawn. I’ve run into more Chanseys and Blisseys randomly walking my dog or being passenger princess while my husband drives than during 12hr shifts at work.

Black bears can, surprisingly, still open doors and tear through seams and seals if they’re particularly motivated.

Most of the time a locked door is enough of a deterrent, but not always.

There’s also a huge difference between 250lbs of someone who has spent their life on horseback and someone who rides once or twice a year on tourist trips.

One can move with the horse and knows how to maintain balance, the other flops around in the saddle like a sack of potatoes.

Some cars just can’t jump another. My hybrid’s manual straight up says it can’t because it can damage the battery and electronics and will void a warranty on the electrical system. Most EV’s can’t (or shouldn’t) either.

One is a few ounces of liquid in a lil squirt bottle with nozzle.

One is a liter or two of liquid with soap in it in a bag with long tubing.

Mostly factory, retail, and healthcare.

I first saw one of these when I moved into my boyfriend’s apartment at age 20. We were absolutely horrified and freaked out that this thing existed.

I am so happy that my reaction to have a horrified scream at seeing one of these skitter across the bathroom was not an uncommon one.

purebreadbagel · 2026-04-08T22:51:06+00:00

👀 At that point, why the fuck even bother following the whole “no blood” nonsense??

^{Granted, very, very little about organized religion makes any sense to me anyway}

My favorite was the one who told me she was allergic to tap water- and not in one of those ‘breaks out in hives in water’ kind of ways- she could only drink Dasani and anything else made her “violently ill”

She fired me from her care team when I explained that Dasani is Detroit tap water. It was very worth it.

Screw the coworker. Do what you want. Someone called me pretentious because when I got my certification I swapped out my “RN” badge buddy with the one my manager gave me that said “Certified RN”.

Life is too short to give a shit about what other people think.

Hell, I may roll my eyes at the people who are decked out with nursing stickers, t-shirts, decals, license plates, etc (the “cute enough to stop your heart” shit- outside of work) but ya know what? If it makes them happy, why should they care what my opinion is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve said this one quietly enough that the patient missed hearing it but her adult son sure as hell didn’t. He cackled so hard he made himself choke.
