FFS people!

The thermometer goes under your tongue! What have you been doing your entire life? Shoving it up your.......oh 😨

Since when?
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@ShepherdBard You would think its a new concept giving how many people I have to correct when trying to take their temp 🤣

I can’t even imagine trying it on top of the effing tongue.

The possible swallowing/gagging incidents while receiving “care”! 😱
Good thing you are there to hold their hand.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Pfuzylogic Its mind numbing......how did they survive this long.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
That's like the person that swallows the suppository
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@Silentpleasure
Oh crap...that's scary
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

Early in COVID days a coworker called in saying how he felt awful, was spewing from both ends but didn't want to use his only thermometer as he'd had it up his dogs ass several days prior to check his dogs temp. We couldn't convince him to rinse it off & use it to see if he had a fever. "Take one for the team" didn't work. 😅
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@ineedadrink Oh how funny!
Houdini · 56-60, M
You mean it doesn’t go up the ass lol 😂
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Houdini It can but the mouth is usually the easiest.....except for those who don't seem to understand how a thermometer work 🙄

hunkalove · 61-69, M

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@hunkalove We don't reuse the plastic sheaths sir!

Say it...say it!!!! Tookus or keister :)
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@SW-User they taste different
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Silentpleasure 😆rectal thermometers have a blue end so it does not get put in the wrong end lol
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@smiler2012 Well for us the blue color is oral and red is rectal
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Silentpleasure this is the uk i only know this as i was a storekeeper in my early day and that is how you knew the difference when issuing them
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@smiler2012 Figures we would have to do the opposite here in the states. Then again this might be true if we still used the old school glass thermometers.

You can shove them in your armpit too - just don’t stick it straight in your mouth afterwards 🤢
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Oneofthestormboys Not as accurate
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
Yeah FFS. But the arm band does require me to take off my pants, right?
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@SinlessOnslaught But you checked in for eye pain?
SinlessOnslaught · 26-30, M
@Silentpleasure The doc said I don't need to check in this time, he just waved me over to his cardboard box in the alley across the street.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@SinlessOnslaught only if you want to
That's a different kind of thermometer. I'm always very careful not to get them mixed up. 🤢
OldBrit · 61-69, M
It's the element of surprise when you do that to people that gets them 😳
SW-User
That's just your opinion ma'am
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@SW-User Who hurt you?

Gringo · 46-50, M
Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
Rokan · 31-35, M
You mean my hand isn't calibrated to let me know?
scooogy · 31-35, MVIP
*me when my sister was sick as well*
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Armpit..that's right.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@thepreposterouspanda Considered your self educated :P
Degbeme · 70-79, M
They do make those ones too, but you know this. 🤭
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Yes there are times we have to check it rectally but 99% of the time its oral and under the effing tongue.....not on top, not biting it, under the effing tongue!
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Silentpleasure All the ones I`ve seen lately are the machines with the disposable plastic cover.
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Degbeme Yeah we use those as well. Long gone are the glass thermometers lol
was it tasty?.. tuna casserole last night.. fyi
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Explains the fishy smell 😒
Never encountered an armpit thermometer yet???
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@HootyTheNightOwl New ones have settings where you can select which one you are doing......
Missbirdie1986 · 36-40, F
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@Missbirdie1986 sad to say yes.....really :(
Missbirdie1986 · 36-40, F
@Silentpleasure oh that’s sad 😢
deadgerbil · 26-30
Silentpleasure · 31-35, F
@deadgerbil Not as accurate but can be acceptable but seriously I'm talking full grown adults not getting this concept
