This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They do that! Now I know why.

I always figured it was so you'd focus on something other than what's happening in your mouth

Like when a doctor tells you to turn your head and cough. Turning your head does nothing for the exam, it just keeps you from coughing on the doctor

I've just stopped replying. Some get upset. Like, what the hell, if you wanted to hear my answers then why did you stick your whole hand into my mouth

That's a lot of oral for any profession

One every ten minutes. Doable.

10hrs, 5 clients an hour is doable. Also, they say it's 50 to embelish the story.

[–] gingernate@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

No fucking way someone could see 5 patients an hour for 10 hrs straight.

I have seen it with my eyes. I was homeless and travelling in canada and needed an emergency extraction and heard that there is a dentist volunteering to do extractions for free. I went there, and they had 4 chairs being prepped by volunteer nurses, as the dentist went from one chair to another in a circle doing a quick extraction as each chair was replaced with a new patient. They may have even been going faster than 5 per hour.

Dang thats insane. I imagine pulling homeless teeth 5 per hr, 10 hrs a day for 10 years would lead to some extreme burnout.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I still don’t know if we are talking about dentistry or blowjobs, but either way it seems somewhat unreasonable.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 30 points 2 weeks ago

OOP doesn't seem to know anything about dentistry, lol. 50 clients. Head dentist guy.

This made me laugh on the train and now I'm a bit embarrassed but also in a very good mood.

The senior put something(dentist related) in the patient's mouth before asking them questions, so they'll struggle answering

I was confused too

find something you love…. yada yada

I believe the full quote is, "find something you love and you'll never work a day in your life, although you will have to attend a lot of meetings about it".

The universe takes its revenge, you never get completely left alone to enjoy life, it violates thermodynamics or something.

I wonder if this trickles over into their sex life?
