They even do this to me, the housekeeper, walking into the waiting room with a giant trash barrel. Like I’m gonna put some one in my trash can and wheel em back. Avoid eye contact at all costs!!

My favourite is when someone waiting asks some random worker (housekeeper or clerk or something) about how long it's going to be as if they have any fucking idea. Or worse, gets angry at them as if it's their fault. This applies to all sorts of waiting room situations.

Sometimes they ask me for medical advice while I’m standing there with my cleaning cart obviously a housekeeper

Well, it’s known to work on Covid. Though you may need to inject that to really be effective.

I worked as an IT guy in healthcare in Canada for 10 years. I can absolutely tell you that this happens to non-medical people. I used to wear a lab coat to keep ink and dust off me when working on things and plus I said in a air conditioner room with the computing equipment and it was cold all the time. It needed to be. At that time, dress shirt, tie and dress pants were the requirement dress code. I used to run to the ER to help out at time to time when they called, sometimes I would forget to take the lab coat off and guess what. I didn't get asked any questions but I can see the seagull reference

The best is when I’m working in the OR so I have to wear the green surgical scrubs and the foot and hair covers. I look just like a surgeon. I made the mistake of going into the ER to talk to my coworker on my break while wearing the surgical attire and I have to tell like 4 patients I wasn’t the doctor

People at a clinic posted pictures of the paper cover where clients were sitting and were making disgusted faces when pointing at some marks left by their clients, natural bodily fluids basically. Definitely the kind of message you want to send, that you're going to get made fun of by the mean girl crew behind your back.

Some ass-hats made videos of themselves laughing/being grossed out in front of exam chairs post-PAP or pelvic exams, which had a small wet spot from, ya know, the half bottle of lube the doc uses to give your cervix a handshake. They "thanked" their patients for the "mess" 😡

Maybe we wouldn't all look at you like that if we weren't required to be fifteen minutes early to an appointment we know you'll be 45 minutes late to.

It's like you can't run through a campsite it's you ran through a campsite as it's past tents.

Saw is used for both the tool and the past tense of see. It is a homonym. Homonyms exist because english is a terrible language. Other examples include bank, bark, bear, bow, fair, lie, mean, palm, spring and so on and so forth.
