“Really Creepy”: 35 Frightening Parts Of Working Certain Jobs That Do Not Get Talked About

When my grandfather passed it took days of fear and distress before he finally died.

I know a few hospice nurses, and they have all, at one time or another, very carefully explained "1 for pain, don't give 2 or 3 because that will be lethal". Sometimes people forget though...

An RN and also have stage 4 breast cancer . The cancer metastisized to my bonesand lymph system before I even knew I had cancer. I just knew I was in a lot of pain that was being ignored. Even now as the cancer spreads I'm having a hard time getting the pain med pump I need to make me ckm

My mom died of cancer some years ago, they gave her small amounts of morphine when she could still be with us while we said goodbye. The nurses told us that if needed they could give much more. It took about 10 days, and she was slowly disappearing. Even the nurses asked if she was still conscious. Then, one day, she began to writhe. It didn't stop. She looked in pain, but couldn't communicate anymore. I asked the nurse to give her more morphine. She slept. She barely woke up in the evening, then she died peacefully during the night. She had a relaxed face with a smile. That's how people should go.

As an RN I've seen my fair share of death and dying. I agree that being medicated should be a right!

I watched some documentary when I was too young on cable in the late 90s and some lady on the street was in the hospital for having a sweet potato removed from her vagina, that’s what she used as a rape deterrent (the infection and smell was horrid) and she learnt it from her rural village from a Mexican civil war, I’m Aussie so I’ was not sure what that part was at the time. But it is one of those things that has stayed in my memory bank

We have one of these poor ladies in our area. She's absolutely filthy on pupose, for this reason. Very lucid and intelligent person. This is sad.

Ding ding ding. Also dressing in looser more "manish" silhouetted clothes. Dating someone who isn't very nice to be around but is atleast scary. Acting out extra to appear unmanageable to make yourself less appealing to pimps. Not bothering with shaving because it's not worth the cost of razors/risk of getting caught shoplifting and risking a staph infection or ingrown hair to shave. These are double edged defenses, but they lower your odds. Don't eliminate them, though.

I'm on a fixed income and I couldn't get into affordable housing for years! Fortunately a friend of mine became a housing case manager otherwise I'd still be homeless.

Those who insist that all poor people are to blame for their situation only do 'victim blaming' for the usual reasons: to soothe themselves by pretending they would never be 'so stupid to get into this situation', to deny the reality of how frail our financial security is, and / or because they are c***s who want to feel superior.

I’m facing this right now. There’s no help and no hope. I’ve considered just ending it already. I’m behind in rent because my mom died and we were taking care of her in exchange for help with rent. I can’t go anywhere because of back rent owed-immediate denial. I have for disabled adult children I take care of. Every agency that ‘helps’ is wiped out and can’t help. SSI for the kids is not enough and it takes months to get in to low income housing and I have no hope it’ll get better.

A*******n . . . . But there are programs where you work a little (usually helping to run the shelter) and attend recovery programming. They tend to be faith-based, although you are NOT required to be a believer. They are also free. They last from 9-18+ months and often after transitional and/or permanent housing after successful program completion.

I hate the thought of people living on the streets, but when I know veterans are homeless I could cry for them! It's not fair that anyone who serves their country, ends up homeless. Wrong! So very wrong!

I was a lifeguard for 7 years when I was younger, I remember a kid in under 6 seconds went from swimming fine to borderline between active and passive drowning and starting to go under, that I had to go in and rescue. Keep eyes on your kids, we are there to rescue, enforce safety rules, etc. Not babysitting. And if we blow the emergency whistle, dont keep swimming, move to the nearest pool walls asap to we can do our EAP without interferences. And if we need to board someone, when we move towards the wall with them strapped down, we shouldnt have to yell at you to move out of the way, use your head people!

Drowning is the fourth leading cause of death for children aged 1–4 years and the third leading cause of death for children aged 5–14 years.

It is silent. Was in a crowded pool with my son once, and I turned around for a moment. Turned back to see him going under (he knew how to swim but struggled at that moment) and was able to immediately grab him. It’s so quick and quiet.

But let a child walk 5 blocks to the park, and you're being investigated for "child endangerment". I dream of a world where public policy is decided based on factual evidence, instead of which faction is able to churn up the most convincing feels.

CPS is a fvcking JOKE. They take children away from families that are only facing a temporary setback that will be easily overcome in a short period of time. HOWEVER, they will not help children who genuinely need it because "the family is wealthy." "The family is nice." "The children acted fine." "The children looked fine." People who NEED investigation and to lose their kids do NOT, which is why tons of kids vanish and get killed on the daily. Not to mention that kids forced into foster care end up FVCKED. Foster homes and group homes are under-trained, do not know to handle kids, have no idea what it means to be a human, neglect, abuse, intimidate and mistreat the children that are supposed to be in their "care."

This level of generalization isn't good. Most people have normal, loving families, nobody harms nobody.

My daughter was diagnosed very early with Global Developmental Delay. She was still expected to be caught up in her development to be ready for Pre-K. It wasn't easy. No one said parenting and teaching kids was easy. In fact, it was nerve-wracking to make sure she new over 1000 words, not only count to 100, but do basic addition and some subtraction. She had to know how to write her name and other simple words. Read, which she happened to be very good at and loved/s books. She managed to not need diapers just before she started Pre-K. There were other motor skills she just couldn't master and still needed an aide, speech therapy and an early childhood development specialist. At the time, I thought she was better off than me when I was her age, and that all this fuss was just the schools putting too high of standards on little kids, and that my kid was actually just fine. She was alright... until she reached Junior High, when funding for in-school therapies and aides ended.

As I grew up, I was surrounded by teachers in the family; my mum, her sister, gran along with aunts and uncles. I started school at 4 with a reading/writing age of 6 and able to do maths. My daughter was the same and is now a vetinarian.

Parents ARE their children's first teacher, and a good parent never stops teaching. The very best students I ever had (retired teacher here, taught middle/high for 26 years in the US) had parents that showed up at every parent/teacher conference, at open house, every event. The very worst students I had were the ones who got away with ditching class, had zero or no real consequences at home, overly permissive parents, clueless parents, naive parents, parents who did not "trust but verify" and then have a system of consequences in place that fit THEIR child. Fortunately the vast majority of kids were average to very good, with only a few bad apples in over a quarter century. Glad I got to retire early. I am happy never to deal with an active shooter drill. That is insane. This country is insane about guns, and systemic and instutitional change must happen in our government.

One of our go-to's is "School Zone" workbooks. Any child.. ours, grandkids, nephews, nieces, get a sense of accomplishment after completion. Early love of learning(2-4 years) is important.

This was not made by a real teacher.'

In the uk, more and more kids are going into primary school still in nappies as their parents cannot be bothered to parent. Along with this, these kids don’t know their alphabet or any numbers so they cannot read a word or know any phonics. The parents just say it’s the schools responsibility to do all this. My wife is a teaching assistant and she has to deal with this.

If u dont educate people, they never ask questions and blindly follow whomever seems to have the biggest smile. Many in the US government would prefer people not be educated - just look at the results of the last election and people having to figure out the definition of "tariff"

Naw, it's working exactly as designed. There are enough high achievers in public and private high schools to fill the professional roles and basically become the ruling class. Otherwise they want obedient, ignorant consumers and worker drones, not intelligent critical thinking people asking uncomfortable questions.

Who gives a flying fvck about how this sh!thole country is "ranked?" More important than that is: this fvcking country is wanting to allow AI in schools, banning important books, still following the "no child left behind" model, starting to insist on bringing Christianity back into public schools, demanding children conform to the same old damned uniform or dress code policy that has been outdated for decades, teachers butt in when their involvement is unnecessary and neglect things that should be brought to their attention. Neither politics, government, religion, AI, nosiness, or appearance-based conformity belong in education in any way.

It already is, and has been since 1967 when this mess all started. Look it up. It's intentional, on the part of the government. They wanted a system to churn out good, obedient factory workers, and they got it. And that's why the idiots in power have any power; the system was designed to stop people from having the ability to think. Evil 'always' fears knowledge.

My current mechanic dropped everything and drove to my house when a broken transmission link left me stuck blocking the road in front of my property and unable to get out of park to push it. Made a temporary fix to get me back to the carport, brought the part on his way home the next day, only charged me the small cost of the part. He's a keeper! He's also too busy to chat anyone up....

No. My husband was a mechanic for 30 yrs and this is not always so.

And if their businesses or ads mention words like "honest" or include religious dog whistles, run the other way, because they're often projecting exactly what they're not. Like the orange menace says, "Believe me." 🙄

"Can I get you a coffee while we get your oil changed?" Is it really going to take that long?

Agreed!
