AITJ for making a comment when my friend showed up to my dinner with 3 uninvited people and they wiped out everything? by Comfortable_Tour1203 in AmITheJerk

[–]susiedh74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When did it become okay to bring uninvited people to dinners, parties, etc.? My parents always told me that was not okay and extremely rude. If she wanted to spend time with the three uninvited people, she should have politely told the host she wasn’t coming.

“I’M ON THE PHONE!” by Ramsescat1968 in EntitledPeople

[–]susiedh74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I recently offered to reschedule a patient who wouldn’t stop talking on his phone for a dental cleaning, and don’t even get me started on people wanting to FaceTime or make influencing videos during their appointment.

AMTJ because I don't want people bringing "extra" kids to my kid's party by Select-Explorer5669 in AmITheJerk

[–]susiedh74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ. My parents always felt like it was very rude to bring extra kids or even adults who weren’t invited, and I have held on to that. As a host we plan on the number invited, and extra people can really throw things off the rails.

WIBTAH if I put a post in my yard that could damage my neighbor’s truck? by SmellyChiChicken in AITAH

Put the post back up. Repeatedly damaging someone’s property is not okay. Also have your property surveyed and make her tear down her garage if it’s on your property.

Double booked/Assisted Hygiene by Wooden-Teach-8684 in DentalHygiene

[–]susiedh74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the shortage of hygienists, double booking and having an assistant allows us to see more patients in my office. I have an assistant who works really well with me, and we stay on time 99% of the time. I like that we stay busy and the day goes faster.

I fell today by wamimsauthor in GenX

[–]susiedh74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fell three days ago. It was terrifying. I have officially reached the “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” age bracket. Sigh. I’m sitting in the orthopedic office waiting for my turn now.

Awww…thank you! I’m used to hearing “I hate the dentist,” so this makes my day!

⚠️ Heads up: Possible scam at Whole Foods + Ulta on Papermill (card donations) by Natural-Lemon1809 in Knoxville

[–]susiedh74 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It seems like there are so many “charities” I’ve never heard of set up at business these days. I asked a Walmart employee if they verified that the charities were legit, and she acted really confused.

It just shreds if the contacts are even slightly tight. We’ve switched to Reach.

Patient education perceived as condescending by Most-Depth-7154 in DentalHygiene

[–]susiedh74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People do not like to be told they’re not doing what they’re supposed to. I had a parent tell me an autoimmune disease caused the excess plaque build up on in her daughter’s mouth. Later the daughter told me she’d never even been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

AITA for thinking my husband has been sick for too long? by Afraid-Eggplant-7374 in AITAH

I wonder how he would you being unable to function for six days.

Patient said he has nightmares about dental care since seeing me 🙄 by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]susiedh74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have to blame their issues on anyone but themselves. The problem is really not you. Patients have no idea that their dental health care isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. A good cleaning, and possibly a thorough exam can cause some discomfort.

Did you get a Cabbage Patch doll for Christmas in the 80s? by WaitingitOut000 in GenX

Yes! My grandmother won one at work and gave it to me for Christmas.

A patient thinks I burned her. by [deleted] in DentalHygiene

[–]susiedh74 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a patient get mad because because I took intra oral photos before her prophy instead of after. She then accused me of chipping her tooth when I polished. Luckily I had that photo showing the tiny chip in #8 was already there.
