I have taken hundreds of call ins. Calling in is rampant in health care. Here are some of the best (I'm being facetious)...
There is ice on the road, and I'm scared to drive. Me: it's 45 degrees outside; the roads are fine.
My boyfriend locked me out of the house. I can't get back in, and I'm on my period. I'm broke, so I can't go to the store to get tampons. Me: you can use some out of the machine here at work. Ill unlock it for you. Employee: those have a cardboard applicator. I have to use the Pearls. :facepalm:
My car is broken down. Me: borrow one from a friend or get a ride to town. I don't have any friends. :facepalm:
I don't have a babysitter.
I'm tired.
I fell out of bed and hurt my knee.
My lights are out, so I can't do my hair.
A car splashed muddy water on me. Me: come on in, and ill get you some scrubs to work in. Employee: no, they make my ass look to big. :facepalm:
I hurt my arm playing the Wii :facepalm:
I have a fever. Me: how high is your fever? Employee: 98.7 :facepalm:
My boyfriend gave me the "clap"
Jennifer is working, and I'm afraid we will get in a fight. :facepalm:
Mr smith called me a bitch last night and hurt my feelings. Me: Mr. Smith has Alzheimer's, and he doesn't know what he is doing. Dont take it personally. Employee: I can't help it; I'm sensitive. :facepalm:
My dog chewed up my scrubs.
My water got shut off, so I can't take a bath. Me: sorry to hear that. How about coming in early to get a shower here before work. Employee: no thanks!! That locker room is nasty! :facepalm:
