Where's the fucking list Donny? Give us the list you fat orange fuck. We know you're on it, and so do you. How did you think this was going to pan-out, dumbass?

Conservatives hate pedophiles

Unless it's their own, then "he's saving a young girl from extreme poverty"/"she's teaching a lucky boy a special lesson"/"was a human after all, no one is perfect".

And technology. That’s why they all fantasize about living on farms

Proctologists hate things without a flared base.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but not this way!"

Software engineers hate MBAs. It's like they live in a fantasy world where everything works perfectly and can be done in 3 days and can read your mind.

Dentists hate 1, 16, 17, and 32.

I know q-tips aren't safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

They're perfectly safe. Just pinch it towards the end you're using, can't do too deep that way.

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

What do you mean, not safe? I always thought "do not use in your ear canal" was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 1 points 7 minutes ago

Q-tips aren't meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren't meant to go in the butt.

[–] blindsight@beehaw.org 2 points 1 hour ago

They're also used as cleaning tips for small/targeted applications, especially when you don't want lint from a Kleenex or paper towel lingering. Makeup application/removal and electronics cleaning, for example.

I think (not a doctor) the ear thing is because if you go too deep you can cause some serious damage, and they can make wax buildup worse by compacting it. If you stay close to the ear opening, and do circular motions to swipe wax away, and clean your ears often enough that you don't get dense wax build up, and don't "double dip" to introduce potential pathogens, then I think they're pretty safe to use? But that's too many caveats for lots of people, so I think ENTs often deal with people damaging themselves with them.

sysadmins hate end users because end users suck.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 hour ago

This brought to mind a collection of asshole admin stories from the early internet. With a bit of googling, it was The Bastard Operator From Hell. God, I haven't thought of those since the 90s. I can't believe I could even recall something like that.

Anyway, fuck users.

Eye doctors hate bungee cords. Be careful with those! ER doctors hate 4th of July.

ER Docters hate

  • "well it started 6 months ago.... And since then it is more or less present" -> why are you here?
  • everything firework related -> you really thought it would be cool to make a firework bomb?
  • old people that are dropped by family members on a Friday night and claim the maggots just appeared like 10 minutes ago -> really?
  • people who, after a complete workup expect miracles -> really?
  • (drug induced) aggression -> look I am trying to help you here dude
  • recurrent psychiatric patients that are not treated properly or untreatable -> hey you again, same medication? Wow you were here 7 hours ago...

.... I think the list might go on and on

Psychoanalysts hate those blotchy black & white images of my mother's pussy giving birth to my father who is wielding a knife with my name written along the hilt. "Stop bringing these fucking drawings in here!" she yells. God forbid a man have hobbies.
