CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:I have had one or two creepy baristas try poo poo like that ("you have a beautiful soul") and what you generally do in that situation is give the standard "don't escalate DON'T ESCALATE" smile no eye contact and back away and never come back I don't understand why anyone thinks people want to hear that stuff from a random person. What do they know about your soul? It seems more about making themselves feel good at the expense of making a stranger uncomfortable. The fake coworker in that fake story was right.

He had to print it out and take a picture. Otherwise the cut-out bits of construction paper used to "redact" would fall off

If you can't integrate numbers or make usernames with only numbers then that's a creativity fail in itself like with all the ironic internet numbers there's 4! combos

I mean technically it's as de-escalated as it can possibly get if the armed robbers are dead. He escalated by yelling at them and then terminally de-escalated the situation.

I can definitely believe some of those. I asked my Taiwanese dentist what the Mandarin word for dental floss was and he cracked up laughing because he has enough trouble trying to get his Chinese patients to use the stuff and here I am, a big white guy, asking how to say it. We talked about a lot of stuff and got along pretty well in general. The thing about dentists is that if you take good care of your teeth they actually like you and their job is easier and less stressful. I always chat with my dentist when they don't have stuff in my mouth. My current dentist gives her patients headphones and a heated back massager pad for long procedures. I got to have a tooth drilled and fitted with a temporary crown while listening to death metal. It doesn't block out the sound of the drill, unfortunately, because it vibrates right through the bone, but it beats listening to HOT 106 or Kenny G. The takeaway here is that your healthcare providers are human beings too and sometimes they are funny and weird too. venus de lmao has a new favorite as of 13:56 on Nov 19, 2017 |

I pay my dentist $70 for 15 minutes of work. He should love me regardless of how I take care of my teeth. Actually I don't get the deal with pissy dentists. My dentist of 11 years retired recently and now I have to find a new good one. I have good teeth and I take okay care of them (do floss) but my epic adventure to find a good dentist involves me trying to find someone who doesn't frown at me for what amounts to $300 an hour

I always go to the University for dental work because that way you get two dentists for the price of about 30% of one private dentist: the young woman* who does the work and the old woman** who checks every stage is done properly. Municipal dental care is so clogged up they usually just refer people to the University anyway. The only down-side is that it takes about twice as long because there's always a lot more patients/students than teachers. Welp that's my story about how it's handy to live in a city with a university god bless. *) For some reason it seems very few men go into dentistry around here **) And it seems as if it's been the same for a very long time

I think I'd be a little grouchy if "physical therapy sucks and I never do my exercises why am I still in pain" was a widespread cultural meme along those same lines.
