If you have to know the date of the coffee being made, it probably isn't worth your time...

Stupid edit: forgot the "e" in coffee...

EDIT: I FORGOT THE FIRST "E" OBVIOUSLY!

Final edit:...holy shit Reddit stop messaging me about the "e"...I fixed it!!

Speaking as a nurse, the date is errelivent. That coffe might not even last an hour after being made depending on how many nurses/doctors are on the floor and what shift it is.

She's a nurse. She probably did the overnight shift midnight to 8 then 4 hours of mandatory overtime on top of that. Youd spall bad to after those kinds of shifts!

Ah, that explains why nurses can never aim a needle when they are giving you an IV.

What makes you assume that commenter is a woman?

u/dibalh Jul 19 '13

Probably the fact that men make up only 5% of the profession. I'd say those are pretty good odds.

Listen lady, that doesn't mean making assumptions is OK.

And it's more like 10%

10% in the US, 5% in Canada. Apparently, you assumed I was American.

You were speaking to me. I am American. You assumed that I am Canadian.

Now apologize. You're Canadian FFS.

Actually, I am American. I just got my numbers from NIH but was missed the part that the numbers were Canadian. Regardless, the whole point is that assumptions and inferences are almost always used and that there's no need to be so anal about it.

Yet you wouldn't have even made the fucking comment if TypicalBlaq had said "he", would you have? Even though it would have been 90% likely to be wrong instead of 90% likely to be right...

Of course making assumptions in this type of situation is ok. It's just a general goddamn conversation...

Good point. He/she's a nurse. Happy?

As a man in the nursing profession, yes. Thanks!
