It doesn't pay to mess with seniors

A 65-year-old man walked into the crowded waiting room at the Urgent Care Clinic and approached the desk.

The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?'

'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that. '

'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.

The Receptionist replied; 'Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something
wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.'

The man replied, 'You shouldn't ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.' The man
walked out, waited several minutes, and then re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes?'

'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.. 'And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?'

'I can't pee out of it,' he replied.


The whole waiting room cracked up. It just doesn't pay to mess with seniors.

I used to have a supervisor who would ask for details if and when you called out sick. MiddleFingerMom Feb 2013 #4

It's none of your employer's business (legally) WHY you are calling out sick -- just that you don't
feel well enough to come in to work.
.
If the frequency becomes a problem, that's dealt with on its own merit(?).
.
.
.
Once, one of the women had terrible gas and told this supervisor, who (without malice) wrote
it in fairly large letters on the callout sheet hung in the center of the call center's floor.
.
.
.
This woman became the (pun intended) butt of many a joke following that.
.
.
She was actually moritified,
.
.
.
From that point on, I informed this supe that if she pressed ME for details, I was going to get
very graphic with texture, consistency, color and fragrance.
.
.
.
She never ever pressed me for details after that.

Don't you love the pharmacies that have a piece of white tape about 2 feet behind the counter and a sign that says "Please stay behind this line until you are called, for the privacy of the customer at the counter."

Yeah, right. Physics Fail!

Pisses me off to no end.
