Its a world where stupid people reproduce more often than the intelligent ones, leading to "a dumbing down" of the population. Intellectual curiosity and social responsibility are mocked, society is consumed by cheap entertainment and commercialism, and the government makes its decisions in the best interests of big corporations.

Q&A
This is a daily occurrence when you work in healthcare. People like this show up to the hospital all the time and suddenly forget how to get out of bed and use the bathroom, wipe themselves, or (if you are REALLY lucky) both, and frequently get angry when you "don't do it right".
Its why every nurse I know is miserable and angry all the time and bring that shit home with them.
You should probably report it to someone if the nurses are taking feces home for personal use.
"We either let them unionize or we stop preventing them from bringing the shit home. We can't do both."
I vote we let them unionize... it's not really ok for us to kink shame anyway...
Keep out of my Friday night!
Honestly if I was feeling miserable and angry all the time I think bringing excrement home wouldn't even make me feel that much better.
Don’t be so judgey. They were probably done with it anyway.
The spice melange....
Oh, i'm sorry! I thought this was America!
Honey, did you leave a flaming bad of dog poop on the neighbor’s porch?
It's also why a buddy of mine said never suck on a CNA's fingers.
It was a completely unprompted statement that left the entire table at the bar stunned. It was like a window into the core of a broken soul when he told us how he learned about this.
Why would you suck on their fingers in general?
Because it’s rude to ask them to take their shoes off in a nice restaurant.
To get the Cheeto dust off. Can't have gamer fingers in the operating room.
Yes, a common nurse fantasy is smothering patients. I was lucky and got to leave them at the hospital and bounce.
You all do look good in scrubs though, sorry not sorry.
Wait till you learn about CNAs
This is why I could never work in healthcare. I’d be telling them to figure that shit out themselves since they put themself in that situation.
Healthcare and food service workers are two groups of people you should always treat with respect. The only thing you're going to get from them by acting like an asshole is spit in your food and ignored.
The spitting in food thing is not real. Im not saying it’s never happened, but it’s not a thing
Yeah, food tampering like that doesn't happen too much as far as I know, but then again it's not like anybody who does that stuff is going to brag about it. All I know is I'm not going to trust the high school server at Chili's to not do anything like that if I'm being an asshole to them.
True but when you sick you sometimes don't have the energy or strength to do some things.
Source, caring for family.
And that's fine, as long as they're not being an asshole to whoever's helping them.
No one said you can’t ask for help. Just don’t be a dickhead about it.
But it's part of the job for (some) health care workers. Not so much for flight attendendents.
Agreed.
And while I would absolutely hate to be in the hospital and unable to clean myself independently.... I bet that if I soiled myself and had to sit in it for some time, it would feel very good to be cleaned. Feel good in a relief way, not a creepy way. Also, humiliating and embarrassing and I'd treat the staff with as much respect and dignity as I could. But I'm sure it would feel like a good relief to get cleaned.
To your points: NOONE should be left to sit in their own filth, and if that happens to you or a family member while you are a patient, then you should ask to speak to a unit manager or someone of that nature. And while you would think that most people would treat the staff with respect and dignity, that is rarely the case. I left the industry (because that's what it is, just another 'churn and burn' business) after a decade and never completed nursing school for that reason. I couldn't see the point in ending up with all that debt only to still leave at the end of my shift dejected, oftentimes injured, unappreciated by patients and management alike, and covered in filth. It's a thankless fucking profession.
I'm sorry about that. And sorry about my fellow humans. I'm lucky to have stayed out of the hospital mostly. But I try to treat Healthcare workers the same way as wait staff, and other service workers - smart and talented people deserving of dignity and respect and I am the one who's thankful they're there.
I spent some time in a coma after an accident that left me with a bum leg and I was embarrassed when I woke up that I needed help getting on and off the toilet as well as wiping. I'm a big dude and I just felt awful. I had two care nurses and they were both very nice women. The whole thing was/is pretty foggy and I just hope that I was respectful as I remember being.
The fact that you are even concerned about whether or not you were means that you probably were on your best behavior. I hope you've recovered.
I once had a chat with an old biker guy who works as a nurse/carer, he told me story’s about how patients request that expecting a nice female nurse to turn up only to get a hairy, 200lbs biker to wipe their ass. He said that quite a few stopped asking after a while.
My mom is a nurse and has told me stories about creepy old men having the condom catheter "fall off" 6 times during the night and needing to be put back on. She said she started telling them "ok, next time it happens we're going to have to do a Foley catheter" (a tube that goes up your urethra) and all the sudden they are magically able to keep it on themselves.
YUP. And yes, the explanation of "well, we really need to keep an accurate record of your output, so a foley might be the only option" often works.
That, or sending the male nurse/tech in to put it on. Amazing how much better it sticks when another dude has to come in and handle your business instead of the twentysomething grey's anatomy wannabe.
This is actually brilliant, and should be the go to for the second time it "slips off'. There would not be many third time "oopsies"'. ...
Except she's not a healthcare worker, she's a flight attendant.
Then why was she rooting around in there?
Found the big dickless bitch. Can you even find your dick or do you just let it dribble out?
Just hose em down. They’ll get more respectful
Yup wiping butts is a big part of my job. But it was something I was expecting going into my field of work. I was prepared for it. A fight attended shouldn’t be required to do it tho.
I think they should just use a nice pressure washer at the hospital. Bend over and grab your ankles. 5hp Honda should generate about 1,800 psi.
22.5 according to my 5hp Honda powered Karcher.
Use chlorox wipes, they will have a sudden epiphany and remember how to do it.
Don't ask me how I know.
Sounds like the only way to properly clean these people is with a garden hose.
Send Bruno. He knows how to.
That's why they are highly compensated. Most jobs have shitty aspects to them.
How can that dude even fit in the bathroom
I nearly fit in those bathrooms and I'm in decent shape.
I’m trying to figure out how she could fit with him in there. I would have told him, sorry wipe your own ass.
You can just fire my ass
If you ask nicely, the flight attendant might do that too.
lol!! I’m not wiping anyone’s ass! Nope!
Then he died
https://www.foxnews.com/world/american-tourist-flight-attendant-wipe-butt-dies-thailand
Of course this disgusting trash is in Thailand.
Can you imagine what he asked THEM to do???
Well at least they knew what they were getting into. I feel so bad for that attendant she's going to be scarred for life.
I can't for the life of me understand why she would accept his request? Just have the pilot descend a safe altitude and toss him off the plane.
I would expect nothing less.
Why are none of us surprised that it's Thailand tho?
They always come to my country 😭
Honestly I loved Thailand and enjoy chiang Mai so much. Then I further I go south the worst it gets….. I hope one day Thailand don’t need tourism from these disgusting farangs.
*Was. Article is 5 years old.
What's the implication?
Thailand has a reputation as a place men go for...younger company. Obviously not all men who wind up in Thailand are up to no good. Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant were both there filming stuff recently. But this guy, from the article? 1000000%.
Ah, yeah. I know sex tourism/passport bros are huge in South-East Asia, but I forgot about the kiddie stuff. Ugh, reminds me of Jared Fogle's secret phone recording where he describes going to, I think, Thailand to rape a boy.
Whoaaa this just got dark… kind of hate the title I put now lmfaooo…
nah he was a horrible person
Dare I say, a shitty person…
Nah just add “…until he didn’t” 🤣
Don't, he's still a POS, now he's a dead one.
A happy ending
We lost nothing.
yet gained............
Apparently she went too dip/deep…
Oh no! Anyway…
flight-attendant-wipe-butt-dies Nice url there!!!
That URL does such a good job at summarizing the guy's greatest achievement.
"American Tourist Flight Attendant Wipe Butt Dies Thailand"
His legs were freakin purple in that photo they used. Wtf
Good riddance. I hope they flushed that turd.
Article says he created another disturbance in 2018 by shitting his pants on a flight.
He spent the last few years of his life doing what he loved: shitting himself in public and inconveniencing other people.
Man, some people really do live kick ass lives.
Our good will ambassador to far east Asia will not be easily replaced, or will he?
The food he ate won’t be
This was a few years ago. It'll get worse as aging ex-pat Americans move to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam to make their retirement income stretch farther.
I have several social media contacts in that group. They're all in pretty good health, not obese, not "ugly Americans" in the Tourist Karen sense.
They get great medical and dental care within their budget, no need for supplemental health insurance. Decent, affordable housing, sometimes including meals every day. They speak highly of their hosts and seem to be well liked and appreciated.
For now.
But eventually an influx of entitled elderly Boomers (of whom I am one) will wear out their welcome. Especially as regional economies shift, expectations raise for locals, and politicians take the inevitable far right stance and demonize immigrants.
The bigger issue will likely be when the influx of foreign cash equalizes the living standard.
You show up to a LCOL country and chill early and you get a sweet deal. When it catches on and tons of people do it then the real estate prices go up, the restaurants get more expensive and services begin to cater to the rich foreigners.
If you're lucky, this spurs economic growth and increases in wages and more local businesses succeed. If you're unlucky, local businesses get stomped out by big corporations seeing a cash cow. The result being depressed wages, skyrocketing expenses and a bunch of fatsos from Missouri waddling through your homeland.
It's like you said, "for now." Even if it never gets to demonizing immigrants. It eventually will just get saturated with foreign cash and be unaffordable for most people. Caste systems will be reinforced and strengthened. It's really an ugly situation.
But hey if you get there early you really get a hell of a time!
Except its not just americans, plenty of euros and australians
Yup, but I'm only familiar with anecdotes from my American contacts. I've heard stories about fellows from other countries.
I wonder if any of them fought in Vietnam? And if so, how they get treated when the locals finds out?
Interesting question. AFAIK none of the guys I'm in touch with were veterans. I am, but I was a year too young for Vietnam and served 1976-82 peacetime.
My impression from reading news and commentary from the region is that it was so long ago hardly anyone cares anymore. The ex pats I follow have never complained about anti American issues in SE Asia.
Pretty much like the Vietnamese refugees who settled in Texas in the 1970s. They and their families have been here so long nobody thinks about the war now. They're Texans, some third generation now. Once your cuisine has become part of the adaptive homeland culture, you're home folks.
And their economies rely on tourism, especially Thailand and Cambodia.
There should be some strict rules because of "that guy ruined it for everyone" type situation and if they uncheck, rule #1 "do not need medical attention" or rule #2 "needs medical attention" ie, for wiping your ass because he's too obese and lazy, then rule #2 comes with a condition, must be accompnied by a personal health care professional or you do not board the flight. pretty easy to set and legally require so they don't have to do shit. like a roller coaster, if you have a heart condition, it's not their fault to make sure you survive but stop the roller coaster if there is an emergency but not give them an extra set of rules to slow down the roller coaster or give them a special baby seat because they can't ride it. Get off the plane or hire a personal aid.
