I once had a patient stumble into our pharmacy during the night shift complaining of chest pains. He was elderly and was exhibiting the signs and symptoms of someone who may have just had a mild heart attack or the beginning of something just as serious. We told him to leave immediately and meet a staff member in the hall to be escorted to the ER. He refused and then demanded that we fill his prescription for SL Nitro tablets “stat” because he could die at any moment and didn't want to be sitting in our waiting room if it happened. – WALE

I was heading down on a business trip and decided to pay my brother whom I hadn’t seen in two years a visit. I told him which day I would be in town, but when I called, he told me he had tickets to the new Michael Jackson movie and had to see it because it was only in theaters for a limited time. – WALE

A boy scout was selling popcorn outside of our local grocery store, not liking popcorn I nicely told him if he sold something a little sweeter like cookies I would definitely buy. The boy’s father came up and told his son not to waste time on a sexist like me because I’d only buy from “those” girl scouts. – WALE

One time, while helping some little kids with their food, my hot co-worker pulled me aside and started making out with me. Thinking this was a sign of things to come, after our shift I started talking about our hot moment. She told me it probably wouldn’t happen again and that the only reason it did was because she gets turned on by seeing a guy be great with kids because it shows her how good of a parent they’ll be. – WALE

My friend decided to throw a birthday party last minute. I told her I couldn’t come because I was too worn out from a Nordstrom’s one day sale. – WALE

I approached a woman at a bar who stopped me before I could say anything and said that the color coordination I had chosen combined with my skin tone put me way out of her league. - WALE
