Fuck horizontal blinds, too. You’re right. They always break off on the ends. Fuck blinds, period.

Seriously, I go into work every fkn day 10 rooms worth of vertical blinds just all facing different directions… so try to snap it back to the right way then the whole thing breaks off-- now gotta flip it and slide it into the stupid clamp.

Meanwhile the patient is sitting there, shitting in their bed because I’m too busy fixing the fucking blinds to " ensure their privacy."

Just tint the windows. FUCK. I hate that I have to keep doing the same shit about these blinds every day I just want to quit. I have a million things going on and I have to stop everything to fix the fucking blinds.

I don’t mind the dirty work of being a patient care tech, but I do fucking care about having to fix shit that I shouldn’t have to fix  
The automatic paper towel dispensers… I’m so tired of having to open it up, scroll the little thingy down, rearrange the end of the paper towel in such a way-- that the next person can just… with the wave of their hand-- such ease-- such fucking laziness… magically swipe their hand and have a fresh paper towel.

A paper towel that they don’t fucking rip off the right way which causes it to jam again. Fuck. Everything.

Well, maybe not everywhere, some places have laws against that kind of thing.

Fuck laws against fucking inanimate objects everywhere!

Honorable mention to the douchebag that invented graham crackers.

It’s like compacted saw dust. Roll someone over to put them on the bedpan and it looks like they’re lying down on hamster litter because theyve eaten 4 packs of graham crackers in bed.

Dude fuck this job.  
Fuck me for continuing to post in this thread.

I’m not mad at the patient for spilling crumbs everywhere. I am mad at the fact that someone had the balls to invent such a treat-- just crumbles immediately. Like they should switch the Nutritional Facts section on graham crackers to reflect the amount that actually has a fighting chance of making it to your mouth. seriously, you have 2 graham crackers in a pack… by the time you open the package and go to take a bite-- you’ve already lost at least 1/3 of it… is the inventor of graham crackers also the same motherfucker responsible for vertical blinds and motion-detected paper towel dispensers? Just the world’s biggest douchebag? If so, triple fuck that guy.

Logging out.

Don’t blame the people using the dispenser. Blame the idiot who designed something that malfunctions so easily.  
I do. I’d like 5 minutes alone with that bastard.
