its 1:30 am and no one is there. I see the nurse immediately

Spoiler!
What big ears you have my dear!

My wife had a small fly enter her ear on a camping trip. It was driving her crazy until someone had the idea of flooding it out. It worked great but she is still paranoid about flies several years later.

Cool

I once had a guy come to see me complaining of a sore ear. Said he hadn't heard out of it for a week of more.

I got out my otoscope and looked in his ear and it was banged up with wax. I got some warm water and used a syringe to squirt it into his ear.

After a larger than i expected number of squirts I started to smell a terrible smell.

Looked in the ear again and the wax was loosening up.

I did it a number of more times again and look.

I could see a bee's bum staring at me.

Dude has a bee stuck deep in his ear.

The ####ing smell was vile.

Eventually after lots of water I got enough out that the bee started to loosen.

More squirting and poking and out came a massive bee and a bunch of vile smelling liquid.

Yuck

This moth thing has reminded me of one of my favorite funny text message jokes

Dad can you come, there's a moth outside of the bathroom
Can you please come kill it
Hurry I'm going to cry
Dad?
Dad??

Dad is dead. Your next. Love, moth

I wonder if the moth got lost on his way to the podiatrists office.

I always try to evict moths alive because they seem so friendly and harmless… I’m going full Rambo on any moth I see for the rest of my life…

Some new renters have moved into the place across the alley, and they let their kids run wild for hours on end, screaming and shrieking at the top of their lungs. It's unbearable.

The only good thing about 'summer jobs' is to encourage you to go back to school.
Who knew that drowning kids are not particularly amenable to having a giant net placed over their heads? They kind of panic.

Oh well. It wasnt a very good job anyways. And ironically I didnt even get fired for that.

What it did do however was instill a newfound appreciation from the rest of the Patrons for the 'Swim and Your Own Risk' sign.

Cuz if that Pool Skimmer ain't handy...Locke may not save you.

They're both bad. Kids having fun and playing is fine. Shrieking and screaming just means their parents are pure trash and dgaf that they live in a community where others are just trying to enjoy their space, too.

Shrieking like a baby Nazgul seems to be how kids play these days, for boys and girls. I don’t recall doing that as a kid, but maybe we did?

We didn't. Most don't. Just wrapping up raising two kids and we were militant about no screaming and screeching. 90% of the people we raised kids along side were like us. Then the moronic trashy ones just let their kids scream. It just takes a couple in a large group to make it look like they're all screaming, but it's usually just one or two. You can typically pick them out before they even start screaming: hair not brushed, sleepies in eyes, toothpaste stains on shirts, crust in the corner of mouths, dirty fingernails, etc.

I know we have water restrictions but...have you tried turning the hose on them?

Nothing like a little cold water to settle the children down.
