People Divulge Which Things Are Socially Unacceptable Unless Done By A Professional

Make us preferred on Google

We have no problem paying highly skilled, trained professionals to do the unique, difficult-to-tackle jobs for us. That's not the issue. The issue is if someone tries to do the thing others are paid and given time to learn to do without any of the training required. You ever try to check someone's teeth on public transit?

This is why we hire professionals.


Reddit user, darkskinx, wanted to know what you probably shouldn't be doing if you're not a professional when they asked:

"What's something socially unacceptable, unless done by a professional?"

The discussion about medical care in this country and the unnecessary hurdles we need to jump through is a discussion for another time. The only thing we can talk about today are how we should be more thankful to our medical professionals for not completely losing their minds and turning on us.

A workplace environment breeds strange interactions, ones we could never replicate outside of the cubicle walls. You ever try to a friend or family member there's going to be a "corporate retreat" when you're really trying to say "vacation?"

It only gets weirder from there.

This Is Why We Should Pay To Keep The Good Ones

"Requiring all your kids to spend hours in a room everyday with a single adult that you're unfamiliar with, while said adult does their best to shape their minds and their understanding of the world."

We should be thankful there are people who we pay to do these things.

Otherwise, we should fear for the all the cows out there.

It's Not What You Do, It's HOW You Do It

"Sometimes I wonder if "remembering" is one thing."

"I mean you all know the "don't confuse your Google search with my doctor degree"."

"I'm a programmer, google IS my tool to remember."

"Knowing how to construct a useful search of reputable resources is a trained skill."

"Doctors and scientists use Google (and other materials beyond memory) all the time too, but the difference is knowing how to articulate the question, understanding which part of the context needs to be taken into account, and how to evaluate a resource as reliable and/or consistent with what you do expertly know."

Go to school. Attend a trade show. Get the necessary training required to do what we should not be doing in our day-to-day lives.

Seriously, let's leave the cows alone unless we're properly compensated.

Kellyanne Conway Just Tried To Claim Trump's Divisive Speech On The National Mall Was Actually 'Inclusive'—And The Delusion Is Real

President Donald Trump's former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway was criticized after she praised his speech on the National Mall on Wednesday night by claiming on Fox News that Trump extended an "olive branch" to people who didn't vote for him.

Trump's remarks themselves resembled a campaign rally more than the unifying and "inclusive" celebration organizers had promised. Within minutes of taking the stage, he criticized former President Joe Biden without mentioning him by name, declaring that the United States had recently been "a dead country" before claiming it had become "the hottest country anywhere in the world."
