Kids are great. Mine spend 5-10 minutes refusing to do a two minute task.

Kind of like how I spend three or four days avoiding a ten minute phone call.

I am currently on month 6 of not calling the dentist about a painful tooth

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 60 points 11 months ago

Not the flex you think it is lol

Seriously, get your teeth fixed. It’s such a huge impact on your quality of life, especially later in life when that damage really starts to affect your eating habits or self confidence

[-] Duranie@literature.cafe 70 points 11 months ago

I wouldn't call it a flex. But sometimes openly admitting something even to strangers on the Internet can offer some ownership of the situation and start someone headed the right direction.

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 months ago

Yeah I was mostly joking. With a bit of good advice sprinkled on top

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago

Not to mention, you could literally fucking die from a tooth infection if left untreated.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 11 months ago

And miss out on all this!? *gestures wildly at everything*

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

It doesn't seem like they were trying to flex

[-] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Broke a tooth on a pizza crust once.. 5 years later it abscessed and I had to have emergency surgery to have it removed.

Fun times :/

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

If you broke your tooth on a pizza crust, there was definitely something wrong with that pizza!

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I'm just waiting Americans to come in and tell that actually that's just Houston style pizza or some shit and it's supposed to be like that (also it's a cube, don't worry about it)

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Houston lobbied for the FDA to permit the addition of glass shards to pizza dough as a bulking agent. What doesn't kill your teeth and internal organs can only make you stronger!

[-] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Haven't eaten there since... Can't afford the medical bills. Haha

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

That sounds awful. I hope you get your teeth sorted out. Somehow.

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 4 points 11 months ago

Fuck me i think I'm on my way to living the pain you had to endure... Maybe I can get another few years like you... maybe

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

dude, i feel you. going to the dentist sucks so much i sometimes will just deal with a painful face instead.

[-] qevlarr@lemmy.world 35 points 11 months ago

"dinner is ready in two minutes"

Two minutes later, dinner ready

"but I just started a new game!"

🙄

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 20 points 11 months ago

Don't accept that lol

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

"Why did you do that when you knew dinner was going to be ready in two minutes?"

"dunno"

:/

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

“but I just started a new game!”

Too bad, you either quit that game right now or no videogame/computer for you for the next 2 days.

[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 9 points 11 months ago

4 days... I've been avoiding some phone calls for straight up 3 years now, the people probably think im dead.

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago
[-] CJOtheReal@ani.social 2 points 11 months ago

Eh basically... They wanted something from me, left a invoice that i should call back...

I just don't wanna do it...
