I don’t understand a person who goes to a professional to disregard their opinion.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 42 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Ah, so you've never had a job as a subject matter expert speaking to a member of the general public i.e. GP, Pharmacist, Mechanic, IT Technician, etc.?

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Every goddamned day:

Me: I think I see the problem here ma'am, it appears you haven't updated your phones software in (checks notes) literally forever.

Her: no... I don't think that's the problem. Can't you just adjust the towers?

Me: (quietly dies inside a little)

Normalize calling people fucking idiots to their stupid faces.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Like Gordon Ramsey.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

You dont need to be an expert.

People have no idea about the complexity and scale of the world. Just how complicated the logistics chain for something like Kentucky Fried Chicken is... "hOw DoEs A cHiCkEn ShoP rUn OuT oF ChIcKeN!?!"

Like... real fucking easy.

Man, I once got asked to help someone pick out a decent laptop. They ignored everything I said and got whatever they wanted.

I don't care what they picked. I was upset that my time was completely wasted.

The best is when you are a consultant, as people will actually bring you in at great expense or fly in from around the world to disregard your opinion.

Now I just go on Lemmy to get my opinion about those same things (and others) disregarded from the comfort of my toilet.

[–] twack@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I mean, I can't imagine that someone would spend enough money to fly in a consultant just to ignore them. I don't think that actually happens.

/s

I do love it so when these people run smack dab into the consequences of their idiotic actions.

Read: "I'm just asking questions"

Sea lions need to see a veterinarian anyway. Maybe a marine biologist.

I was never threatening or intimidating

Bet they spoke in that calm psycho Karen voice and made veiled threats. These people think that if you don’t shout and don’t make direct threats that you can say anything to a person.

Man if I went to the doctor's office and started giving unsolicited fashion advice to fellow patients they would can my ass too.

Giving unsolicited medical advice to fellow patients is just asking for it.

[–] pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 6 months ago

The clinic inoculated itself.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

absolutely wild that they closed the letter without so much as a best regards or even a yours faithfully

I'd never recover from that.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

In the UK even! The country that will politely tell you to go fuck yourself!

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You have been issued enough medication

No, I don't think antivaxxers were.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Missing a few antipsychotics.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 20 points 6 months ago

It's always intimidating talking to a clearly unhinged person. If they're a stranger, you don't know whether they will resort to violence if provoked. You only know they don't observe regular social conventions.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for bringing a ray of delightful insanity into a very dark world :)

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There's so many insane people on Facebook.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I remember stuff like r/Hermancainaward all too well...

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That was actually a very good thing. Maybe it seemed a bit mean but it taught many vaccine hesitant people why they should get it. Not like obnoxious antivaxxers but just people being misled and not knowing what to do. Saved some lives.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

I absolutely read it with that intent. Watching sovcits, homeschooled 'grajiates' and people rocking the Covid starter kit without a hint of irony was both enlightening and hilariously troubling.

[–] ConstantPain@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (3 children)

According to the COVID time anti vaccine aficionados, we should all be dead by now.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

They all say they know many people who died suddenly since "the clot shot". It's nonsense of course.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago

I'm posting from beyond the grave. Cool, now we know ghosts are real.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

It really did pull all the fucking lunatics out of their hidey-holes.
