Lord, grant me the strength to throw away this box that i'll never use, the courage to throw away this box that i'll never use, and the wisdom to throw away this box that i'll never use

I don't want to make ““doctor’s appointments””and ““schedule a follow up.”” I want to be coaxed gently into a crate and taken to the vet.

Can I also get in on the part where the doctor patiently bears with me as I scream the entire time and then gives me some spray cheese on a tongue depressor?

Wrapped in several towels so that you don’t have to look at the scary thing

Having delicious snacks shoved into your face as fast as you can eat them while an injection ‘definitely didn’t happen’

Being told that you are a Brave Lady, Clever Little Man, or Sweet Baby for just sitting still

Getting your toenails clipped while you are here

Also

Your seeming “off”/any sudden change in your pain or mood or habits will be taken as a sign of an actual problem instead of waved off

If you start yelling in the waiting room someone will talk or chirp at you to remind you they haven’t forgotten your appointment

You can just sleep until the doctor is ready for you. And then sleep more after.

The after care instructions will be written clearly and simply

Chewable medications that can be hidden in food

Idk you guys it may also include:

Being wrapped in a paper towel and then twirled around like a switch blade

Having your feathers hair pulled so the doctor can look at you better

Being made to bite a finger just to have a syringe with medicine shoved down your throat

Being flipped upside down while someone pours water into your nose

my poor parrotlet might have been having a rough time at the vet recently

sorry but in my opinion this is so rude

The notes on this post are just filled to the brim with the society-killing US chest-thumping of ‘HOW DARE YOU ASK SOMETHING OF ME IN MY OWN HOUSE???????‘ and just like... you guys do understand this is why you had Trump, right? Because all of you feel this way about each other?

Like, you are all aware that this is exactly exactly exactly how right wing people feel about being asked to use pronouns? “You want me to change MY behavior just to benefit YOU? FUCK YOU. I WOULD RATHER CALL YOU THE WRONG NAME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE THAN BEND TO YOUR WILL.“ But hey. Lawnmower go brrrr, right? Based? The person asking for courtesy was the one being rude?

On reddit, I would expect this, but I’m surprised to see it on tumblr because like... this is the queer website? We care about each other here? Sometimes I feel like some of you are only right by coincidence and not by conviction or principle.

Maybe it’s because I’m from a third-world country, but in my eyes lawnmower man is such a gigantic cunt I cannot even believe my eyes reading this story. Part of being in a community, even a tiny, ad hoc one like a neighborhood is recognising that there are parts of our spaces that overlap, and we give and take from those spaces in equal measure. In my neighborhood, that means my neighbors are allowed to stay up until 3 AM partying if they want. You won’t hear a peep from me unless you’re doing it every night. I party too, and we both understand each other. It means my neighbor’s kids can play the drums and ride their very loud motorcycle outside. I have my own loud hobbies, and we all respect each other. And if you leave a note on my door asking me to be quiet while you have your WEDDING? Of course man, no problem! I hope it’s a sunny day and the ceremony is beautiful! I know that if I ever need anything, you will help me out as well. I mean come on, people. Are you seriously searing over one afternoon of your life? That is such a reasonable request. You were probably being quiet anyway! Stop trying to be the main character and build connections with the people around you. Being nice costs nothing and will only bring you gains. How else do you expect people to be respectful and kind to you, if not in return?

Wouldn’t the neighbourly thing be to invite your neighbours to the wedding?

And maybe the lawnmowing neighbour feels justified because they have been left out of neighbourly courtesy. Illogical reactions can start with the smallest slights.
