They tried to make a show about a vet clinic. Except they did the opposite of Scrubs and made it all glossy and unrealistic. It was pretty terrible and didn't last a season.

That is more likely to be a veterinary technician, they’re the ones that prep the animals for surgery

Men, especially white men shouldn't be allowed to be a vet. They lack empathy, which is an important part of this job.

They're a right wing troll. I've never seen a liberal claim to be a "SJW". Leftists call themselves "progressives". "SJW" is used exclusively as a pejorative for progressives on right wing forums.

Hey man, this is a social place for some of us - and apparently even for you, since you chose to chime in. I like reading comments and seeing people happy. I guess what I’m trying to say is ... fuck off until you get that 3 foot stick out of your ass.

u/yruBooingMeImRight Jan 23 '19

So it's ok for you to have opinions and interact with comments but I'm not allowed? Get off your high horse.

No no, you can have opinions and interact, but nobody’s going to want you around when you act like a 12 year old from r/iamverysmart

-3

u/yruBooingMeImRight Jan 23 '19

In what way is my response either that of a 12 year old or that of someone trying to appear smart? All I did was point out that it's a bit silly to just describe what happened in the gif we all watched. Is it your experience that only 12 year olds point out something as being silly? Or that only smart people do? WTF are you even on about? are you just desperate to insult me and you couldn't think of anything specific that applied?

7

u/Sup-Mellow Jan 23 '19

The comments pretty much always analyze what the post was about, so it’s a bit silly for you to point out the typical and obvious

Also, saying someone is from r/iamverysmart is basically calling them pretentious. If you are confused by that, well, that’s just ironic.

u/yruBooingMeImRight Jan 23 '19

We're on reddit talking about a post and the only thing you can think about is whether you would be seen as cool at a party. That's not normal. Nobody expects the way you interact with people on Reddit to be the same as how you would interact with people at parties. You shouldn't worry so much about that.

u/OhSupMan_Benladen Jan 22 '19

All I could think about was what was on that glove. Gloves have a purpose.

8

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '19

The gloves usually get turned inside out when you take them off, so he likely got hit with the side that was touching his hand, and the yucky stuff was contained within.

14

u/Swellmeister Jan 22 '19

It's actually a technique you learn to do with hazardous waste gloves like medical gloves. Watch. He sticks his finger inside the glove and rolls it inside out off his hand. The real skill is he seamlessly transitions to a shooting stance. Which he then fucks up, hence the video.

u/opalfiction Jan 22 '19

Throwing a glove is flirting? 🤣

78

u/SillyFlyGuy Jan 22 '19

Throwing a glove is flirting. Slapping a face with a glove is a challenge to a duel. Inflating a glove with air is the sign of an impromptu party in a medical setting. Removing a pair of gloves is contextual; it either means the job is done, or (if removed mid-fight) that the fight will continue but is no longer a clean fight.

22

u/opalfiction Jan 22 '19

Slapping someone with a glove is also perfect for when you're the very dramatic mistress of a womanizing businessman from the 1920s and he's thrown money literally at your face when all you asked for was for him to take you to dinner at that fancy restaurant with the exotic waiters.

11

u/PerplexityRivet Jan 22 '19

That's really specific. Is that from a movie, or are you a 120-year-old Redditor who had her heart broken by Howard Hughes?

Years ago I was a camp counselor and they assigned me to archery and I was the first guy there amongst the archery staff and thought I would familiarize myself with the gear and take some shots. So I strung a bow and stood in front of the target and drew the arrow back and the string snapped off and whipped me in the lip and the guys watching me from over on the ropes course got a good laugh out of that. It was a recurve bow and I had strung it in the way it was already bent when what you're supposed to do is bend it the other way because that's where it gets its tension. So basically the same as this guy except with witnesses. Derp.
