Doctors, Nurses, certified nursing assistants, pharmacists, and anyone even tangentially related to medicine constantly have to talk to people who have no basic understanding of how their own body works. Patients will do stupid things, lie, and even deny the most WTF stuff. It's kind of sad to think about where we'd be without medical expertise, and it's flabbergasting to see what people think is healthy behavior.

This is pretty close to the definition of morally bankrupt. Don't fall for Multi-level Marketing (Pyramid) schemes and if someone tries to get you into one, just run away. This guy's approach to try to sell his old friend health products is about as ineffective as it is psychopathic.
These spin class fitness bullies sound like a couple detestable jerks. The fact that they end up losing access to the studio, AND losing their jobs/side hustle is just the kind of righteous, successful revenge that we love to celebrate back here at Fail Blog. The original thread can be found here.
If you're looking for more sweet and satisfying revenge content, we recommend checking out the timelessly entertaining classic of a bully landlord getting it in the end after a tenant's nuclear revenge.
Doctors, nurses and technicians see some wild crap every day. It's not just all the injuries, it's the stupid things people are too embarrassed to mention. In case you were wondering, it's a bad idea to lie to a doctor. For more, here are some times medical professionals saw right through lying patients.
After being put on a waiting list for way too long and seeing his wife blown off by incompetent healthcare administration, this guy took the matter into his own hands, with some creative emailing and the use of telemarketing software. The world is full of people complying maliciously, like this IT guy who came up with a masterful plan after being told he had to work on vacation.
Depending on what country you live in, "just go to the doctor" is a sentence that's much more complicated and expensive than it sounds. Apparently, for author Mary Robinette Kowal, the experience in Iceland was surprisingly simple. Like, holy crap, same day tests?
Here are some awesome and distinctively LA conversations. You've got Instagram influencers getting shut down, health nuts reaching their breaking point, and sad people aggressively trying to ignore their problems. For more funny stuff people weren't necessarily supposed to hear, here's more funny superficial conversations overheard in LA.
If you just keep doing something you learned in childhood without any self reflection, you might end up doing some stupid things for way too far into your adult life. Sometimes song lyrics or figures of speech don't make sense until you see them in writing. People are often wrong, even about their own health, but what sucks is when you're publicly, idiotically wrong for waaaaay too long.
Two of the most interesting developments in recent years are the rise of Anti-Vaxxers, and the amazing popularity of memes. It only makes sense the two would collide. Memes just spread so fast, it's crazy. And we all know how good Anti-Vaxxers are at helping spread anything that's going viral.
If you grew up believing that sniffling would kill your brain cells, or crossing your eyes ran the risk of them remaining like that; then, you might benefit from this list. Parents are capable of filling our childish, unknowing minds with all manners of misguided, outright dishonest tidbits of "knowledge." If we're lucky, we grow up, and discover the truth for ourselves through that good 'ol life experience.
There's a lot of people in the world, so it's a statistical certainly that some really, really, ridiculously rare crap is gonna happen to someone out there. Whether it's getting struck by lightning, something worse, or just winning some weird sweepstakes, there are some crazy unlikely stories out there.
Some pieces of trivia can stick around in cultural consciousness for way too long, especially if they're untrue. It can be tempting to repeat a myth just because it sounds shocking and "unbelievable." There are oodles of misconceptions that people have about the past and future that just never seem to die.
During a measles outbreak in the state of Washington brought on fully by parents opting out of vaccinating their children for easily preventable, potentially life-threatening diseases, one dullard went to a public anti-vaxx group to ask how she could prevent her child from getting the Measles. People frustrated with this kind of BS were not kind in the comments.
