You might think professions are mysteries only insiders understand — but sometimes the most telling truths come from those right in the trenches. On Reddit’s r/AskReddit thread “What’s a secret from your profession that everyone should know?” people from all walks of work spilled what they really see and know. In this piece we’ll dive into 23 of those candid revelations — the kind of behind-the-scenes truths you won’t often hear, but you probably should.
1. Thing is, it’s because it WORKS.
2. Or if you’re a low-cost landlord, twenty coats
3. From a patient perspective, make sure as soon as you’re in theatre you tell the anaesthesiologist that you’re very nervous. They can definitely stop you being nervous.
4. And we don’t care if you didn’t shave lol I had so many women apologize for not shaving their legs
5. Most employees everywhere don’t care as much as you do. If you’re nice to me, I will bend every rule I can to help you out. If your an asshole, it’s strictly by the book.
6. (Generally speaking…) We don’t hide stuff in the back. It doesn’t sell if it’s in the back. We want it to sell. If it’s in the back it doesn’t sell. Everything we have to sell is out. That is all.
7. Ty we appreciate this ❤️
8. And the water in them is usually so gross you’d wish for the fire.
9. I always wondered how a simple rinse with water could work…
10. My favorite ( /s ) is when I reboot and it doesn’t fix the problem. Then I do it with IT on the phone and it fixes it!
11. I would be offended if they didn’t…
12. Same with ancient coins. Just dry clean hands.
13. God bless daycare workers. They have 4x the children I do, and keep them 10x cleaner. No idea how they do it.
14. I think of this every time I walk into a Walmart and target. It’s sadly disgusting.
15. Watching the new construction builds going up around us makes me grateful for our 92 year old house.
16. I always ask for extra pickles on my McDonald’s burger. I get extra pickles about 30% of the time. It’s a free add on and if they remember, great! If not, I just eat the burger.
17. Oh they know when I start bleeding profusely when they floss mine in a cleaning.
18. Add “Reddit” at the end is what I do lmao
19. Yes that’s true
20. That’s a lot
21. I miss my class days
22. That’s good to know
23. But like, 50% of marriage already fail as it is
