ER Docters hate
- "well it started 6 months ago.... And since then it is more or less present" -> why are you here?
- everything firework related -> you really thought it would be cool to make a firework bomb?
- old people that are dropped by family members on a Friday night and claim the maggots just appeared like 10 minutes ago -> really?
- people who, after a complete workup expect miracles -> really?
- (drug induced) aggression -> look I am trying to help you here dude
- recurrent psychiatric patients that are not treated properly or untreatable -> hey you again, same medication? Wow you were here 7 hours ago...
.... I think the list might go on and on

Electrical engineers hate OrCAD, seriously. I keep a spare file on all of my work computers collecting when I see someone on line saying OrCAD sucks. Brings me comfort when the program crashes for the 5th time that day
I know q-tips aren't safe or whatever but man it feels too good to stop.
What do you mean, not safe? I always thought "do not use in your ear canal" was just a joke they wrote on the packaging. Like, actually good one, what else are you gonna do with it?
They're also used as cleaning tips for small/targeted applications, especially when you don't want lint from a Kleenex or paper towel lingering. Makeup application/removal and electronics cleaning, for example.
I think (not a doctor) the ear thing is because if you go too deep you can cause some serious damage, and they can make wax buildup worse by compacting it. If you stay close to the ear opening, and do circular motions to swipe wax away, and clean your ears often enough that you don't get dense wax build up, and don't "double dip" to introduce potential pathogens, then I think they're pretty safe to use? But that's too many caveats for lots of people, so I think ENTs often deal with people damaging themselves with them.

Software engineers hate MBAs. It's like they live in a fantasy world where everything works perfectly and can be done in 3 days and can read your mind.
