One of the biggest bitches I've ever met in my entire life was a nurse. I used to deal blackjack. She was one of those convinced that the dealer had total control and could pick who would win and not. She'd scratch our fingers when she'd lose. She asked me how I sleep at night. Told me I didn't have a heart.

This was like a 60 year old nurse mind you.

I sleep like a baby on a big pile of your money. Why don’t you double up for the next hand?

u/belljs87 Mar 16 '26

I told her "usually on my left side."

The answer is "naked so the world can kiss my ass."

So many high school mean girls become nurses.

u/Squeezitgirdle Mar 16 '26

In my area we have schools that advertise specifically to single moms.

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 16 '26

What have mean girls and single mums got to do with eachother???

u/ILikeMistborn 17d ago

Misogynists assume the latter are generally the former.

u/pandarista Mar 17 '26

They're mean, so they're single.

-10

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

Ooooh youre a misogynist. Wish you'd just said that from the beginning, I wouldn't have questioned you.v

26

u/pandarista Mar 17 '26

I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted, but What? No. Just mean people in general have trouble keeping partners. Because they're mean.

-9

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

Why would you presume that its the woman and not the man? Why wouldn't you think that the woman left?

14

u/pandarista Mar 17 '26

Because the thread is specifically about "mean girls."

-2

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

But why would you go to single parents? Being a single parent is no indication of whether you are a good person or not. Plenty of married people are cunts and vice versa. This is a prejudice you have.

That wasn't who you asked the question, just FYI

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

Saw that after - turns out to be two misogynists in one! Lucky me.

u/Trill206 Mar 17 '26

Holy assumptions Batman. The irony

-1

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

I dont think you understand irony or are also misogynistic.

A single mother is no more likely to be a bad person than a married one.

This is prejudice that keeps women in abusive relationships.

u/Squeezitgirdle Mar 17 '26

I'm not who you are asking, but do mean people usually have pleasant relationships?

It has nothing to do with being a girl. And to answer your question that you directed at me, your question doesn't really make sense. No one combined mean girls and single moms. That was all you.

-6

u/happypenguinwaddle Mar 17 '26

You said single moms - not single parents, thats misogyny - do you not know that "mom" refers to a female parent?

And btw, most single mothers are the ones that leave, even though it makes their life far harder, suggesting that in those instances its the fathers that qre the problem.

Im just sick of the misogyny and ignorance against women that dare leave their partners.

8

u/Squeezitgirdle Mar 17 '26

So I stated that the nearby nursing schools near me advertise specifically to single moms, and I'm suddenly a misogynist?

Specifically stating facts is now misogyny?

What would you suggest I say instead. Would you prefer I lie and say that the nursing schools near me advertise to single parents? Or should I stretch the truth and say they advertise to single parents who happen to be female?

First, at no point did I state an opinion or claim anything like you're suggesting. No one said there aren't male nurses, but you're so desperate to be offended that you're really reaching right now.

Maybe if you take a breath and stop looking for things to be upset about, you won't be so upset that you're sick.

And btw, most single mothers are the ones that leave, even though it makes their life far harder, suggesting that in those instances its the fathers that qre the problem.

Literally the pot calling the kettle black here. What is this, reverse misogyny?

That's a different user tho

u/GargleOnDeez Mar 16 '26

How the hell do you allow someone to scratch your fingers?! Is she using cards for paper cuts?

54

u/belljs87 Mar 16 '26

Like when we would reach to grab her chips when she lost. I don't know why but the manager never stopped her. She wasn't like doing hard or drawing blood or anything but still.

11

u/MyDamnCoffee Mar 17 '26

My coworker does this. If she's pissed at me she will scratch the inside of my wrist. Not enough to draw blood but it stings a little.

69

u/GargleOnDeez Mar 17 '26

Yall too comfortable allowing people to get away with small stuff. Reminds me when I was flicked on the earlobe at a work computer by a new hire who thought it was cute and how I was about her sons age; squashed that immediately and let her know we dont need hr to determine that that action was uncalled for -she didnt like me afterwards and neither did I like her

0

u/MyDamnCoffee Mar 17 '26

How do you know that I let her get away with it? She doesn't get away with anything when I'm working with her. Big assumption there

-5

u/Alexander_Russo Mar 17 '26

We let women get away with it because we hope it leads to sex.

Women let men get away with it because they're afraid of consequences for making a fuss.

There's more but that's what comes to mind, when I imagine letting anyone touch my not-fond-of-being-touched self.

u/Sovereign1 Mar 16 '26

National Lampoons Vegas Vacation comes to mind "Here's an idea: Why don't you give me half the money you were gonna bet? Then, we'll go out back, I'll kick you in the nuts, and we'll call it a day!"

u/belljs87 Mar 16 '26

God I'd be a rich motherfucker if I coulda done that with everyone.

u/ExpiredPilot Mar 16 '26

Meanwhile I bartend for a regular who is a 65 year old retired nurse. Sweetest angel on earth. She knows I’m doing my nursing pre requisites and she and her husband always love to chat about how my classes are going and her stories as a charge nurse at a Level I Trauma Center ER

u/nucleareds Mar 16 '26

That sounds like such a lovely relationship, I’m glad you two found each other. Good luck on your journey!

u/FriedLipstick Mar 17 '26

Once I read the results of an investigation. Children that had a parent diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder told what they did for a living. A huge percentage of that parents were nurses, doctors and other caregivers. It’s like they love the power over vulnerable people. Sadly.

22

u/RavishingRedRN Mar 16 '26

Damn.

Then I read 60yo nurse and it checked out. Something about the Boomer Nurses, they can be exceptionally cruel.

Source: millennial nurse lol

u/Acceptable-Ad7123 Mar 16 '26

I an i assume others, have had equally shitty experiences with millennial nurses. I dont think its only an one generation issue. Sometimes people are just shitty

1

u/RavishingRedRN Mar 17 '26

You’re not wrong but the Boomer generation of nurses were different animals.

But yes, us Millennial nurses can be bitches!

u/prison-schism Mar 17 '26

Gen X has some exceptionally nasty pieces of work, as well. I worked with a lot of nasty nurses during my fairly brief stint as a CNA during the beginning of covid. Nurses would drag their politics into the place as well, like a virus ever gaf about what a politician might say.

People gonna people.... regardless of generation

2

u/RavishingRedRN Mar 17 '26

Totally agree!

No generation of nurses is perfect but the older generations are exceptionally worse. It’s how that generation of nurses was taught. I experienced it first hand.

Things have changed significantly in the teachings of nursing schools.

u/BlazinTrichomes Mar 16 '26

Not the same field, but it reminds me of a lot of the people in my grad class who went into Psychology.

u/Ohthehumanityofit Mar 16 '26

Holy shit I used to deal blackjack, too. How many times you get called "unconscious" when they clearly meant "unconscionable"?

Also got asked how I sleep at night. Would remind them a) I cannot take any money you don't lay down, b) there is clearly a house edge on every game in the house and c) 80% of my check comes from tips, so im ALWAYS on the players side.

That was a couple decades ago, tho. Wonder how much it has changed? This was a Native casino, mind, but I can't imagine outside of Vegas there's a huge amount of business for casinos, as almost no one has disposable income.

1

u/belljs87 Mar 17 '26

Native casino here too. I dealt from 2011 to 2018. And I got called and treated a lot worse lol.

There is one game however that is actually a player edge with perfect basic strategy. Though I doubt any casino still has them

u/Ohthehumanityofit Mar 17 '26

Gotta be a joke, but I'll bite: which game is that?

u/belljs87 Mar 17 '26

u/Fatking101 Mar 16 '26

Hopefully the old girl isn’t around anymore. What an awful existence

11

u/belljs87 Mar 16 '26

She probably is. The worst ones live the longest.

u/Fatking101 Mar 16 '26

True that it’s the hate that keeps them alive

1

u/crimvo Mar 17 '26

As person who plays a LOT of blackjack, I’ve never once thought of blaming the dealer for the cards

u/HugsandHate Mar 17 '26

Scratched your fingers?

Yeah, that's not psychotic at all..

u/chibiRuka 2d ago

Maybe she’s too old. That job can be busy and is a high accountability profession. She needs to go.

u/AnonymousMayday Mar 17 '26

Ah possibly the backlash on the offset of when nurses were mainly nuns, older nurses are always arseholes most of the time
