A tale of the resthome: Cheap residents.

The other week, one of the aides was talking about how cheap some of the residents are.

If people wear "pull-ups" (the less shaming word for adult diapers), often they have these little super-absorbent pads that get stuck into them, that are cheaper and can be pulled out and replaced if they're wet, instead of replacing the entire "pull-up."

Anyhow, one resident was so cheap, that she would take the used pad and cut out the wet parts with scissors, and then combine the dry parts from previous pads and reuse them.

. . .

I honestly wonder if that worked.
