90% of my job is training you, not your dog. The dog usually gets it in five minutes. You’re the one that takes months or years to grasp and apply simple concepts and quit fighting me. It’s why I quit doing hourly appointments.

A police dog trainer once “said there’s a smart end of the leash and a dumb end of the leash. Guess which end you’re on?”

This is scary similar to when parents take their kids to therapy. Often when the kid’s problems are externalizing behaviors (aggression, tantrums, hyperactivity, etc as opposed to anxiety, depression, etc) therapists want to work with the parents to teach them skills to help manage the kid’s behavior. You wouldn’t believe (or maybe you would lol) how many parents are too defensive and refuse. They think their kid is the problem and not them. Usually it’s them 😬.
WASH YOU HANDS. I work in health care, holy s**t guys just wash your f**king hands. You will stop getting sick, you will stop feeling like s**t (because you’re quite literally EATING S**T) you’ll have so much more energy. There are so many preventable sicknesses that people literally only contract because they don’t wash their goddamn hands.
I’m a massage therapist and I promise you I’m not looking at your body the way you do— I’m rarely looking at it at all unless you’ve got something interesting happening with your skin (a mole that looks like you need to see a derm, contact dermatitis, etc.)
I’m feeling for what’s going on in the muscles & making sure your bits are covered as I move you around.
But I PROMISE YOU idgaf about your body hair or where you hold fat or literally anything else you chastise yourself for in the mirror.

Stop lying to your doctor (or any medical professional). She/he doesn’t care what you put up your nose OR up your butt. Their only concern is addressing the issues at hand. If you lie, they can’t even begin to help you. STOP LYING!

Same w/your lawyer. If they dunno what they’re representing irl, you’re totally wasting your retainer. It’s not their job to judge you. &, even if they do, wgaf? If they wanna get paid, they’ll do their job.
Did you know many public libraries have a Library of Things? Don’t want to buy a weird cake pan for a one-time bake? Your library might have some for you to borrow. Live in an apartment and don’t have garage to store a bunch of tools in? Your library might have some for you to borrow. Go ask your library what might be available!
I was a gate agent for an airline. When flights are oversold and they solicit for volunteers to take a later flight for X amount of credit towards a future flight ask👏for👏that👏ish👏in👏CASH👏 There’s no reason it has to be pretend money or credit. They will write you a check. We keep checks for that purpose and count on no one asking. Demand cash.
I am a former medical negligence defense lawyer and now on patients side. Medical care in the US is the worst I’ve seen in 30 years. It’s crisis level bad and it will only continue to get worse until major changes to private insurance reimbursements is made. Not the care providers fault, squarely on “insurance” companies.
The reason pharmacies take so long to get your script ready is because we’re making sure the meds won’t k**l you, and making sure you don’t go bankrupt paying for them.
“There’s no one in line you must not be busy” bro we also process and fill 500+ scripts a day between phone calls and checking in orders (and vaccines), you’re not our only patient.
Hotels: if you need to check in early, call the hotel the morning of your reservation and ask. If you simply show up expecting to check in, it’s less likely to happen.
Also, if you tend to stay at the same hotel often, get to know the employees. You’ll be first to get upgrades and other perks when we know you and like you. 🙂
