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
Who is the enemy?

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

This brought to mind a collection of asshole admin stories from the early internet. With a bit of googling, it was The Bastard Operator From Hell. God, I haven’t thought of those since the 90s. I can’t believe I could even recall something like that.
Anyway, fuck users.

Truck drivers hate “four wheelers” because they don’t know how to drive.
When they’re not in their semi they generally drive a four wheeled vehicle their very own self, presumably being hated on by other truck drivers.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Drivers hate everyone else on the road.
Pazuzu@midwest.social 8 months ago
eh, other truck drivers aren’t much better. biggest takeaway getting my CDL was realizing just how low the standards are to drive a truck
obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I used to do fleet management. It’s so bad. I never would have believed how many people take clearance signs as suggestions.
And the drivers test should include a “show me where the truck driver can and can’t see you” portion.

Data (dwh) people hate Excel
MissJinx@lemmy.world 8 months ago
dude you can hate but 80% of “data” still.on excel. I’m in my third global company and people still control things on excel. and 5% power bi (some from excel) hahahahaha
djmikeale@feddit.dk 8 months ago
Yep, that’s true haha.
It’s perhaps not so much Excel, as much as it’s just the symptom of a lot of bigger issues: working without version control, without column validation or access control, limited documentation (not necessarily better in data warehouse but at least the functionality is easily accessible), limited automated testing, etc etc.
If only they could keep their data for themselves, then ok. but no no, we have to ingest it, and do work on top of it in dwh, and it just breaks so often due to a variety of different stuff.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 months ago
Wait you mean your organization doesn’t use some ludicrously expensive hosted database solution or 3 to aggregate data then instead of natively working with the data in that database it gets exported and transformed on a local machine which may or may not havd backups then ask the database people about weird data quirks coming from the local transformations performed on the data
MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
As someone who used to work with “large” (to normal people; 10k-60k rows up to maybe 70 columns) datasets in Excel exclusively, I also hate Excel.
blindsight@beehaw.org 8 months ago

I hate working with other people’s spreadsheets.
Or my old spreadsheets.
The worst is “can you just add a small feature” to a huge, sprawling, mission-critical, often reused spreadsheet.
But I love how quick and powerful it is to spin up a new spreadsheet to analyze something or clean up messy data!

Auto mechanics hate Fix-a-Flat, especially if a customer forgets to let them know their tire is ful of the stuff when it comes time to replace it.
Mobiuthuselah@mander.xyz 8 months ago
We had a local shop owner killed when airing up a tire with fix-a-flat. His wife ran the shop after his death and she did not mince words when someone asked why the shop wouldn’t patch their tire that had fix-a-flat.

How? Was he working on an industrial tire or something?
ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I feel super sorry for whoever has to do my next tire change, the previous owner of my vehicle (just purchased otherwise it’d already have had a tire change) was using fix-a-flat for top ups so the didn’t have to lug out the air compressor.
I have no idea how much goo is in these tires, but I can only assume they look like the aftermath of a ménage et troi with 3 “Slimers” from ghostbusters.
RoabeArt@hexbear.net 8 months ago
Why do people do shit like this lmao.
I’m surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result (the idea is to replace the tire after using the stuff, since it’s meant to be an emergency repair).

Orthopaedic doctors hate chiropractors
TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 8 months ago
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation…for the most part the majority of chiropractors are harmless. If the patient believes a chiropractor is helping manage their pain, I don’t really care about the efficacy of the practice. Plus, most chiropractors are risk adverse enough to know not to work on areas where hardware has been installed.
If we’re sticking to the format of items or activities that are a reason for a lot of our appointments… Ladders, motorcycles, bad drivers, trampolines, and electric scooters and diabetes are probably the top contenders.
CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 8 months ago
Huh, my friend absolutely abhors chiropractics. But I guess also all the family members who don’t listen to her and instead waste money to get their spines fucked with

not a locksmith, but…
One of those candidates for ‘worst memorable phrase in history’ is the old “duct-tape for things that move and shouldn’t and wd-40 for things that should move and don’t”.
WD-40 isn’t a lubricant. It often works to get something un-stuck, but then you need to still clean and lubricate the parts to keep it working.

clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
IANAL, but people use it on squeaky hinges and knobs and locks, but it sits in the mechanism and collects dust. It turns into a gummy mess eventually, which is the last thing you would want in a lock.

Zink@programming.dev 8 months ago
Yeah, I am not going to contradict any doctors when it comes to the risks, but for my ears and the way I do it, I haven’t ever hurt myself and my PCP says my ears are completely clear at each checkup.
I think I’m fortunate to have pretty light thin wax though.
shalafi@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They’re perfectly safe. Just pinch it towards the end you’re using, can’t do too deep that way.
RogueBanana@piefed.zip 8 months ago
I do try to be very careful but sometime overdo it a bit going a bit deeper but not to a point of permanent ear damage. Hopefully...
sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I bought metal earwax spoons. Sure, q-tips feel great and all, but pulling the clod of wax actually responsible for the itch is divine
RogueBanana@piefed.zip 8 months ago
I am way too scared to use one lol. Certainly wouldn't trust myself to use it but maybe I should give one of those services a try.
ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 8 months ago
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?
Worx@lemmynsfw.com 7 months ago
Makeup removal or cleaning babies, according to the packaging
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
Supposedly they can pack the earwax together which can be an issue.
TeddE@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Q-tips aren’t meant to go in the ear the same way adult novelty toys aren’t meant to go in the butt.
blindsight@beehaw.org 8 months ago
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.
