Are you good at ripping the band aid off?

[DizzyDesii]

Omg I suck at it both ways. I don’t like just throwing bad news out there to someone. I like to go through the whole story and further explain whats to come after (whatever the bad news is). And physically, I just suck at it. I just spent 30 mins trying to ease this bandaid off my arm. The pain 😭 #FeelFreeToList

Physically yes

Verbally yes

I’m good at both

I suck at both

I just had to rip off three more bandaids 😭 I burnt my right hand on the oven, hot broth spilled on my right, and then i cut my arm on the record player. Im a clutz 🙈🥴🩹🤕

[AimeeKyle]

Physically, yes. I have had way too much practice.

Verbally…. now, yes. I have definitely gotten better as I have gotten older. I still do it in a respectful manner…. not dickish like many…. although opinions may vary on that one depending on who is receiving the message.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea delivery matters

[computer_nerd]

Physically yes for sure Verbally i never had the chance to.

pro tip to soaked the area where the band aid in warm water then it will just fall off after that.

[DizzyDesii]

Thank you. Because i wet it and it doesn't. But i didn't think to do warm wayer

[computer_nerd]

@DizzyDesii your welcome warm water should make quick work of the glue that they use on bandaids.

[melanieeeB]

Yeah, I just wanna get over it and so I just spit it out lol

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i can imagine

[Jaximus-Lion]

As a diabetic since 1997 and take insulin shots, doing blood tests like 3-4 times a year with 9 operations in total and my 10th is gonna be at autumn (hopefully) i tolerate a lot of physical pain and psychological as well. Rip it off and have a coffee, the pain is temporary 🤷‍♂️

[DizzyDesii]

Dang thats a lot

[Jaximus-Lion]

I would love to start a new life and skip all these things 😁. But i am stuck with this body with the soul and mind 🤷‍♂️

[ShadezMcgee]

Depends on how close I am to the people I am giving the news to. I try to tone it down and make it more bearable, but if you are someone I am. not close to or someone I don't know, well, let's say I would be arrested for first degree murder if words could kill. I am a blunt and brutally honest asshole at the end of the day.

[DizzyDesii]

Damn im shakin in my invisible boots

[ShadezMcgee]

Want, are we talking literally or figuratively? If literally, just rip that bitch off. If it hurts, bite into something or scream into a pillow

[SunnyRS]

Well, I am not good at verbally ripping off the band aid, cause I just don't like giving bad news to others.
But physically I am a bit better if ripping my own band aid.
Although if I am ripping someone else's band aid physically, I am great, it's too fun to make them shout. 😅😅😅
P. S.- I am not a sadist🤣🤣

[DizzyDesii]

You sure? Lmao

[SunnyRS]

Yes, I got it checked out.
(I might have beaten the doctor too tell me that I am not a sadist though)

[DizzyDesii]

👀💀

[SunnyRS]

🤣🤣🤣

[SunnyRS]

I hope you are alright desi?

[DizzyDesii]

I am. Just tired. Its 3am and i haven't slept yet 😂

[SunnyRS]

So don't dream so much about me.
You will be able to sleep

[DizzyDesii]

Haha you know me so well

[SunnyRS]

Well it is what I do

[TrillXHippy]

Physically I don’t always use bandaids. Still got the scar on my leg that’s the size of a pen. It happened in December from what I remember, I still have the scar on my that happened 1-2 years ago. Verbally if I find out that someone passed away I’ll just say it

[DizzyDesii]

Dang i hope you're okay. How did you get a scar

[TrillXHippy]

The first scar that I got isn’t the first time it happened but I was at work when it happened. A kid wanted me to try to chase her because I’m never careful it just happens. The 2nd one was because of my neighbor’s dog

[DizzyDesii]

Oh heeeell no to the dog

[TrillXHippy]

Lol that dog is harmless though haha but I understand

[DizzyDesii]

Harmless enough to scar you

[TrillXHippy]

Lol 😂

[TrillXHippy]

What would you do if that dog approached you? Would you care that he doesn’t bite?

[DizzyDesii]

I dont let dogs walk up on me. No animal at that.

[TrillXHippy]

Alright fair enough

[DizzyDesii]

Im terrified of em

[SnowedIn]

I'm good at both. Don't beat around the bush. But I'm also really good with language so I can make it nice and rip the band aid off.

[DizzyDesii]

To me its not exactly beating around the bush. I just like my news to come with a beginning, middle and end lmao

[TrueConfection]

Physically, yes. Verbally, not so much. I've had times where I surprised myself that I was able to deliver the harsh news well, but it doesn't usually work out that way.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea im a bit ocd about the delivery and try to give it as professionally and respectfully as possible

[TrueConfection]

It's extra difficult when it's your own child you have to give terrible news to.

[iron_ninjs]

Physically I just rip it off. As for delivering the bad news, I don't mind. If the person I deliver it to is someone that can take, I have no second thoughts about ripping the band aid of. If not, I ease into it.

[DizzyDesii]

I see

[LaFerrari]

Both, but when I take my shots I just shave the area before way easier to get the bandage off that way.

[DizzyDesii]

Makes sense

[TrueConfection]

Great idea! I wish I thought of this for my son.

[LaFerrari]

(: right!

[Phoenix98]

Lately I've had more staples put in me then band aids lol. But yes I can take them off ok.

Same with bad news though bad news isn't something I often need or have to give.

[DizzyDesii]

Omg i’d pass out if i got staples

[Phoenix98]

O yeah last year I stood upright into a jagged rusty pipe and had a pretty nasty gash I had to have 3 staples put into it also got a concussion in the process.

[coachTanthony]

Yes but I have lived a long life of necessary evils lol

[DizzyDesii]

As in it was worth telling them?

[coachTanthony]

Most times in my experience YES

[RobT312]

I dread both ( even though I can do it, i don’t like it )

[DizzyDesii]

Maybe you dont rip it off then

[RobT312]

Haha…yeah would be nice but I end up doing it

[kellytheman]

I am pretty good at both. I can tolerate pain very well and if I gonna give bad news i gonna just go right out and say it but in a sympathetic way or lay it down easy on that person.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea Hopefully with some sympathy

[DrillBeats]

Depends on the situation. Sometimes there’s no time to beat around the bush. I rather be direct and get to the solution at quick as possible and get out of the F’d up situation.

[DizzyDesii]

Okay

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I'm a big p***y trying to take band aids off.

[DizzyDesii]

you're not alone

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@DizzyDesii LMAO

[LiamJHayden]

I do both without hesitation. Not sure that I would call that good necessarily, especially when it comes to the figurative version.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea kinda scary that you do it without hesitation. I’m more logical than emotional but I want to make sure the person is comfortable and ready for what i’m about to say or do

[clampfan101]

Physical meaning literally, and verbally meaning metaphorically?

[DizzyDesii]

Physical as in actually ripping a bandaid off your skin. Verbally as in giving someone bad news

[clampfan101]

So yes.
Well first of all, I don’t think it’s good to rip a literal bandaid off. Pulling too hard or fast could tear the skin. There’s nothing wrong with removing it steadily.
As for giving bad news I don’t recall ever needing to do that for a big deal, but I can only assume I’d suck at it if I ever do have to.

[DizzyDesii]

Even steadily i feel my skin ripping off

[Mark987]

Ya. I peel off a bit.. and then just rip it off. a few seconds of a sting then its done

[DizzyDesii]

I caaaant. I tried and spent 30 mins

[Mark987]

Just suck it up

[DizzyDesii]

I did... 30 mins later

[Mark987]

lol.. at least you did

[A_Nihilist]

Yes I am. I've a long history of people not liking how blunt I am. So I'm just used to them overreacting to the truth.

[DizzyDesii]

Ahhh okay

[nawtee_me]

Just turn and look away and it will (rip) feel better when it stops hurting...

[DizzyDesii]

Bad news is one if the few times i actually make eye contact

[nawtee_me]

So, if you are making eye contact with me then I am in trouble? lol

[DizzyDesii]

If i ask if you’d like it sit down first

[DizzyDesii]

*to*

[RavVid]

You have to do it.

[DizzyDesii]

Teeeechnically you dont

[RavVid]

Technically no. You are right.

[Msputiton]

Definitely am good at it

[DizzyDesii]

Both?

[Msputiton]

Fashoo. No problem tellin people things they don't like.
The beating i take from basketball a little bandaid pain ain't nothing

[douride2]

Damn you best be more careful there girl.

[DizzyDesii]

Im tryin

[Pink2000]

I think so. I cut to the point.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang. I just feel it would be taken out of context if i dont explain everything haha

[exitseven]

years, just rip that sucker off.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang

[exitseven]

Quick and greasy/

[DizzyDesii]

Greasy? Lol

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Yeah, I just like to get it over with.

[DizzyDesii]

Makes sense

[Jerre]

I have no problems getting bandaids off

[DizzyDesii]

Lmak

[Rudon00]

Same same Desii. I can relate to you 😂😂😂

[DizzyDesii]

It huurts haha

[Rudon00]

You tell me !!😂😂

I'm a cry baby any physical pain or hurtful words. I'm in a corner sulking😂😂😂

[DizzyDesii]

Aww damn thats awful

[Rudon00]

😂😂😂

[krin_m]

Not verbally. :-(

[DizzyDesii]

Yea I don't know how doctors, lawyers and bosses do it

[DizzyDesii]

Cops too

[Agape93]
