Patient: "Have I been called yet?"
Me: "The nurse called you multiple times, and even checked outside. Where were you?"
Patient: "Listen, right? You know where you go to smoke? I was over there."
Me: "Well, we need you nearby so you can hear your name being called. You can go outside the doors, but you need to stay nearby."

While she was paying for her order, her kid had reached into the back of the carriage and gotten hold of the stamps. Next thing we knew, I was handing her her receipt when the kid had most of the stamps on her face and clothes, treating them like random stickers.

The mall that our office was in for years kicked us out for no clear reasons, so we moved to a strip mall kittycorner (diagonally across from) the intersection. Apparently ‘kittycorner’ has left the modern lexicon. Nobody understands it. So then I say “It’s south-east”. To which the […]

I work in a garden center and nursery. I see a woman walking in, and she looks… well… awful. She's sniffling heavily, red-eyed, and is working through tissues like a bored cat.
Me: "Ma’am, are you alright? Do you need a seat or some water?"
Customer: *Honking into a tissue.* "No, no, I’m fine. Oh, unrelated, but do you sell plants that are suitable for people with summer allergies?"
